Kebzová, Barbora ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis maps the coverage of Peter Sis's two biographical author books in media. In particular, the Tree of Life and the Pilot and the Little Prince have been chosen. Firstly, the thesis focuses on the literary definition of these works, then outlines the life and artworks of the author. An interview with Petr Sís is also included and is theoretically explained in one of the chapters. This bachelor thesis introduces some important prizes in the field of books for children and youngsters, which the author has gained for his work. For example, the Hans Christian Andersen Award for lifetime achievement is mentioned there. The last chapter of this bachelor thesis focuses on the Tree of Life and the Pilot and the Little Prince and their media coverage. The results were achieved with the qualitative method of analysis. This thesis does not only focus on book reviews but also provides complete overview of media coverage of both mentioned books. Newton Media SEARCH and EBSCOhost electronic databases, magazines and newspapers in the National Library of the Czech Republic, web archives and reader's websites served to find the examined sample. Due to the fact that Peter Sis currently lives in the United States of America, the US media have been analyzed, too.
