Namely, Leaves of Fallen Trees by Grigory Kanovich and Land of Glass by Vanda Juknaitė. Methodologically we are situated in the comparative studies. We will compare phenomena such as language and style of the works, the symbolism of their names and recurring themes. Furthermore, we compare the image and a reflection of history in both works. After a brief but detailed introduction to the authors and their works we will gradually discover elements and features of the works and we will compare and confront them together trying to penetrate their perception of the world and the questions specific to the time when the works have been written. An important contribution of the work is also Czech translation of Land of Glass by Vanda Juknaitė and notes about way of thinking and language world of the work.

The Gender in the literature - the theory and analysis of chosen texts
CIBULKOVÁ, Nina
In the dissertation I will examine gender from the literature side based on the comparison with chosen articles of authors from Czech and World literature. I am trying to interface theoretical and practical part. I have chosen three authors in the practical one: William Shakespeare, Arnost Lustig and Jaroslav Havlicek. On the basis of six written works of those authors I compare individually differences among main characters. In books Romeo a Julie (Romeo and Juliet), Zkrocení zlé ženy (The Taming of the Shrew), Modlitba pro Kateřinu Horovitzovou, Dita Saxová, Helimadoe a Petrolejové lampy I am searching for elements of gender, comparison of roles of men and women, and progression of particular female characters.
