Prague in views in literary works of post-february exile authors
Kaprálová, Klára ; Češka, Jakub (advisor) ; Hrdlička, Josef (referee)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT This dissertation is focused on Prague in views in literary works of post-february exile authors, which emigrated after year 1948: Egon Hostovský, Zdeněk Němeček and Jiří Kovtun. The picture of Prague, which we can (re)construct from their works, is different in each case. In the novel Nezvěstný of Egon Hostovský dominate followings motives: gray, weak contours, theatricality, panoptic and a metaphorical description of February Prague. The main features of the works of Zdeněk Nemeček are: close relationship between teller and main character, short dialogs, view from above, sad feelings and feeling of separation. Konvtun's work named Pražská ekloga is specific with irony (it is evidently a product of considerable time span from the other described events), naturalistic features and war atmosphere. The authors associate a considerable relationship to Prague and their contributions to the programme "Slovo a svět" of the Radio Free Europe, in spite of their different life stories and poetics. The main theoretic result of the diploma is city poetology of Daniela Hodrová ("Citlivé město"). Interpretive interest isn't limited only to the mentioned literary works, in the diploma are also considered data from the periodic newspapers and other professional literature. The objective of the...

A Critical Responce to Egon Hostovsky's Post-war Works
Zbořil, Jakub ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Novotný, David Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis A Critical Response to Egon Hostovsky's Post-war Works aims to chart the response of Hostovsky's three postwar works (Cizinec hledá byt, The Lonely Rebels, The Missing). The chapters which aim to analyse the critical acclaim precedes the introduction of Hostovsky's pre- war life and work. The results of this thesis were achieved by the qualitative analysis of media reception as well as due to Hostovsky's autobiography Literární dobrodružství českého spisovatele v cizině and due to works of Czech literary critic Václav Papoušek. This thesis focus on the period from 1947 to the present because the author spent the most of his career in exile and his books were hence banned during the communist era in Czechoslovakia.

Czech Prosaic Works in the Period of 1945-1948
HÜBELBAUEROVÁ, Kristýna
The thesis focuses on the reception of existentialism in the Czech entourage in 1945-1948. The theoretical part of the chapter is dedicated to Václav Černý and his understanding of existensialism. We are going to be focusing on the professional and theoretical texts from Jaroslav Červinka, Jindřich Chalupecký, Václav Navrátil, Jan Patočka and Ladislav Rieger, which are processing the theme. In the practical part we are going to analyze the pieces from Dušan Pala, Miroslav Hanuš and Egon Hostovský, we are going to concentrate on whether the principles of existential imagination are reflected and which way were these imaginations expressed.
