Giovanni Marignolli and his "travelogue"
Kubínová, Kateřina
Florentine friar Giovanni Marignolli traveled in the years 1338 - 1352 as a papal envoy to the China. He did´t write any special travelogue, but he described his experiences in Chronica Bohemorum, written for Emperor Charles IV. We must read it in the full context as a commentary of some biblical episodes, because Marignolla´s chronicle begins just with the creation.

Travel book of Jiří Tektander from Jablonné
ANDERLOVÁ, Jitka
Current literary history mainly highlights humanistic travel publications written in the Czech language. Voyages in the foreign languages are staying in the background of the literary field or unfortunately are even neglected in spite of the fact that their cognitive function is not weakened. Submitted thesis is trying to break or disturb this way of observing at least and at the same time attempts to intergrate the German-written work by the Czech traveller into the Czech literary tradition. Jiří Tektander from Jablonné, the author of the voyage, wrote down his experiences and remarks of the diplomatic mission, which had been delegated to Persian Shah Abbas the Great by Rudolph II. in 1602. Tektander became the first Czech man who visited and described Persian Empire and Armenia. He was the only one from Rudolph´s Ministers who survived the long course in three arranged expeditions. At that time our analysed work was very popular and was also published twice. In spite of its popularity, the revolutionary year and the events happened after the beginning of the November 1620 was unfortunately fatal for that work and it was almost neglected. The aim of this thesis is a kind of revival of the Tektander´s vovage and also it is an attempt to include this work in the imaginary refined humanistic literature. This thesis is trying to map the trace of the Emperor´s delegation, explore visited locations, also compare remarked facts with the reality and finally insert to the historical context.

The phenomenon of peregrination around castle ruins in the first half of the 19th century. Edition and contentual analyse of three Karel Kramerius's travelling diaries
Kalašová, Marcela ; Hojda, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ebelová, Ivana (advisor)
V letech 1814, 1815 a 1818 podnikl Karel Kramerius (1797-1874), syn známého nakladatele a novináře Václava Matěje Krameria (1753-1808), spolu se svými přáteli Karlem Michelem či Janem Šťasným tři velké prázdninové cesty po Čechách. Cílem těchto cest byly převážně zříceniny hradů, němí svědci minulosti, kterou Karel Kramerius tolik toužil poznat. Tato práce čtenáři přináší především edici tří cestovních deníků, které si Karel Kramerius na těchto cestách psal. Kromě podrobných popisů zřícenin hradů, často provázené vlastnoruční kresbou, deníky obsahují též popisy ostatních historických objektů (zámků, klášterů, přírodních památek), krajin, průběhu cesty a příhod, které cestovatelům putování od vesnice k vesnici zpestřovaly. Při poznávání vlasti se setkávali s obrozenci, příbuznými, přáteli, i prostým lidem. Karel Kramerius vyrůstal ve vlasteneckém ovzduší, vytvořeném již probíhajícím národním obrozením, a v době počínajícího českého romantismu. Oba tyto myšlenkové proudy se promítly v jeho denících. Avšak zatímco vlastenecké cítění se rozvinulo v plné šíři, romantické vnímání zřícenin a přírody zde sledujeme zatím jen v náznacích. Edice Krameriových deníků si klade za cíl rozšířit doposud nevelkou pramennou základnu pro poznání počátků českého romantismu a především počátků romantického zájmu o hrady a jejich...

Letters of Božena Němcová´s Family
Kokešová, Helena
The author concentrated on letters among J. Němec and the children Karel, Jaroslav and Dora and on letters among the brothers and sisters themselves that still remained unnoticed and hidden. The letters contain valuable information not only about their personal life but also about their everyday life, about the cultural and political development of the Czech society during the second half of the 19th century. They have also other dimension given by the fact that J. Němec worked in Russia. It is possible to find interesting facts in his letters that broaden our knowledge about the history of travelling, about the way of life of Russian and Tartar people, about the life of Czechs in Russia and the information about the history of medicine. Because both sons were distinguished pomologists, information about the development of this field is noticed, too. The family letters contain also the important information about so called B. Němcová's second life.
