Representation of financial speculation in the novels of Émile Zola La Curée and L´Argent
FEJTKOVÁ, Blanka
In this Bachelor thesis, I pursue a thematic analysis of the financial word and the financial speculations in two novels written by a French writer Émile Zola, a representative of French naturalisme, L'Argent and La Curée. I devote the theoretical part to the historical context, the period in which Émile Zola lived, which is the second half of the 19th century. Further, I develop the literary context with the characteristics of realism, naturalism and the naturalistic novel. At the end of the theoretical part, I study the life of Émila Zola, the cycle of Rougon-Macquart and other pieces of his literary work. The second part of the bachelor thesis is analytical. I focus in detail on two selected novels from the Rougon-Macquart cycle (La Curée and L'Argent), which I thematically analyse in order to show how Émile Zola projects the theme of money and financial speculation into them. The whole bachelor thesis is written in French.

Three cainds of the Czech Naturalism (prose)
KLEWAROVÁ, Adéla
The thesis deals with selected works of prose written by Karel Matěj Čapek-Chod (Kašpar Lén mstitel), Josef Merhaut (Vrah?) and Josef Karel Šlejhar (Dojmy z přírody a společnosti). In the first section of the thesis the authors are briefly introduced, with focus on the circumstances surrounding the publication and reception of their works. The core of the thesis is analytical and interpretative, i.e. the texts are analysed in terms of their themes, motifs, semantics and poetics. They are also compared and contrasted with Émile Zola's essays and novels. The thesis aims to identify how the texts correlate with naturalism - to what extent they might be considered naturalistic and whether they correspond to the core variant of Zola's naturalism. If there is such a connection, the thesis seeks to explain how it was achieved. The thesis is based on a number of resources, both printed (reference books of literary history, lexicography, etc.) and online (caslin, retrobi).

Colours in the literary world of Emile Zola
JAROŠOVÁ, Simona
Diploma work called "Colours in the literary world of Emile Zola" deals with three novels written by Emile Zola.. Its main aim is to analyse the novels and particulary to explain the meaning and the symbolism of colours that appear in these novels. The novels analysed in this diploma work are following: L´Assommoir, Au Bonheur des Dames and La Bete Humaine. The diploma work consists of several parts. At the beginning there´s a chapter about the life and the work of Emile Zola, following the chapters dealing with realism, naturalism and the chapters that summarize the plots of the three novels. While analysing the novels I concentrated on the main characters as well as on the environment of each novel. I was interested if the colours used for the description of characters and environment really have got some symbolism and if this symbolism helps readers to understand the novel better.

Emile Zola and Honoré de Balzac: The (Im)perfection of artwork
Novotná, Helena ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (advisor) ; Pohorský, Aleš (referee)
The bachelor thesis Émile Zola and Honoré de Balzac: The (Im)perfection of artwork is an analytical comparison of the content of these two works, where the authors of these pieces are the main representatives among the French novel writers in the 19th century. The main portion of this thesis contains a comparison of The Unknown Masterpiece (Le Chef- d'oeuvre inconnu, 1837) from Balzac and The Masterpiece (L'Oeuvre, 1886) from Zola. The beginning of this thesis looks at several events in the lives of the authors, which inspired the creation of the two works that are being compared. The following chapter analyzes the keypoints in the short story from Balzac. This section looks predominantly at the character of the painter, the process of his work, as well as the art theories that are contained in the text. The very same format is used for the analysis of The Masterpiece by Zola. After that, a comparison of the analyzed parts follows, and the conclusion pinpoints the different approach that both writers took to the same topic.
