Šupová, Anna ; Ženíšek, Jakub (advisor) ; Pípalová, Renata (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with literary translation from English into Czech. It is divided into three major parts. The first part describes the theoretical bases; it outlines types of translation as well as the fundamental principles and methods of translation. Also, possible impediments of literary translation are discussed. The theoretical part also briefly introduces a short story written by American author G. R. R. Martin A Night at the Tarn House. The practical part consists of the translation of a part of the short story from English to Czech. The last part, which is further divided into individual linguistic levels, presents the analysis of the translated text and comments on the practical solutions in the translated text as well as on some of the issues mentioned in the theoretical part. The aim of this thesis is an attempt to translate a part of an authentic literary text and examine the typological differences between the two languages that possibly pose a problem.
