Novels of Josef Škvorecký in translations by Paul Wilson
Junek, Václav ; Špirit, Michael (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
(in English): The aim of this thesis is the comparison of three novels by Josef Škvorecký -Příběh inženýra lidských duší, Scherzo capriccioso and Tankový prapor - with their English translations by Paul Wilson and the description of the differences in their composition. In the case of the translation of Scherza capricciosa, Paul Wilson noticed that the novel contains two basic reading horizons - one aimed at readers from the Czech cultural context, the other at readers from the Angloamerican cultural context - and when translating he intervened in the narrative discourse of the novel so that the resulting tone adapted to an Angloamerican audience. With this approach of Wilson's in mind, we also examine two other translated novels. The work is intended to be a contribution to the investigation of the work of Josef Škvorecký as an author creating for two cultural contexts.

Novels of Josef Skvorecky from the eighties
Junek, Václav ; Špirit, Michael (advisor) ; Holý, Jiří (referee)
(in English): The aim of this thesis is to describe the composition of Josef Skvorecky's novels from the eighties, Scherzo capriccioso (Dvorak in love) and Nevesta z Texasu (The Bride of Texas). Both texts have a very specific composition construction based on several story lines which are divided in shorter sections and mixed with each other. It is done differently in both novels. In Scherzo capriccioso we primarily examine composition in terms of chapters, narators and genres. Our main interest in Nevesta z Texasu is the connection of partial story sections which is based on their story scheme. Lastly we describe the purpose of different fonts used in both novels.
