Chrenková, Viktória ; Nykl, Hanuš (advisor) ; Kosáková, Hana (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is dealing with the development and changes in the attitude of Leo Tolstoy towards love, marriage, partnerships and sexuality. The changes are demonstrated on particular examples from his key prosaic works which are Family Happiness, Anna Karenina and Resurrection. The writer's attitude towards love and marriage was not influenced merely by his own self-reflective thinking and a process of finding himself, but also social questions and philosophical influences of the period. As a methodological basis, we have chosen work of Canadian psychologist John Alan Lee Colours of Love: Exploration of the Ways of Loving, which in detail explores six types of love which can also be found in Tolstoy's works. Key words L. N. Tolstoy, love, marriage, sexuality, Russian literature, types of love
