Narrative Modes in Contemporary Czech Debuts
Eder, Kryštof ; Králíková, Andrea (advisor) ; Bílek, Petr (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to analyse nine contemporary Czech debuts that were published during the 2010s and that were written by authors who were born in the 1980s or in the late 1970s. Based on the thematic analysis and analysis of narrative modes the debuts are compared mutually and placed widely in the context of the contemporary Czech prose. Published reviews of the analysed debuts are considered in this thesis too. Not only because these reviews are almost only available secondary literature related to the theme, the aim of this thesis is also to analyse literary critical context, and how it was shaped by the reviews. Debuts that are analysed in the thesis are (in the order of publish date): Pálenka by Matěj Hořava, Spoušť by Sára Vybíralová, Do tmy by Anna Bolavá, Anežka by Viktorie Hanišová, Augustin Zimmermann by Zuzana Kultánová, Stvoření by Eugen Liška, jr., Malinka by Dita Táborská, Do vnitrozemí by Vladimíra Valová, Lapači prachu by Lucie Faulerová.

Transformation of Poetics in Milan Kundera's Novels
Eder, Kryštof ; Špirit, Michael (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
This thesis compares The Joke and Immortality, the first and the last of Kundera's novel, which were written in Czech. It also follows other Kundera's novels written in Czech and his essays. Firstly, the narrative strategies of the two novels are analyzed, including not only the narrative strategies themselves, but also the reasons of them being used. Afterwards, two Kundera's main themes - poetry and death - are analyzed. The aim is to prove that their form is almost contradictory in the two novels. It is also suggested, during the analysis of these themes, how their form affects narrative strategy and fiction world of the novels. The main purpose of these comparations is to prove that Immortality stands apart among seven Kunde- ra's novels, so it is not correct to regard seven Kundera's novels as one continuous text.
