The diploma thesis Otakar Batlička's prosaic writings and its critical feedbacks in the context of Czech adventure literature focus on a development of the Czech adventurous literature and on Batlička's texts which were published at first in the teenage magazine Mladý hlasatel during the World War the Second.

Batlička's stories are specified by their short extent, terse plot, punchline of the story, the absence of female characters and they take place mostly in exotic parts of the South America. The thesis mentions also critical feedbacks published in magazines Zlatý máj, Červený květ, Literární noviny, Ostravský kulturní zpravodaj, Hlas revoluce etc. and refers to illustrators of the Batlička's stories. The thesis thinks about a position of adventure literature in a context of nowaday book production for children and teenagers and for this decade of 21st century are typical mainly novels about post-apocalyptic vision of fictional future world.

Zlatý máj, magazine about art and literature for children and youth and the personality of Z.K.Slabý
Šimůnková, Lucie ; Čeňková, Jana (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
Master thesis Zlatý máj - Magazine about Children's Literature and Art and the Personality of Z. K. Slabý follows foundation and history of Czechoslovak literary journal Zlatý máj. It has been published from September 1956 till December 1997, when 391 issues came out in forty one volumes. The magazine experienced its golden era in 1960s, when it participated not only in domestic, but also in international discussions about children and youth literature. But it also endured through the time of so called normalization (1969 - 1989), when most of literary or cultural magazines perished, and its final end was brought by lack of finance after formation of democratic Czech Republic. The name of writer and literary critic Zdeněk Karel Slabý has been tied to Zlatý máj for the most of its existence. He acted at first as the redactor, in two periods as editor in chief (1968 - 1971, 1990 - 1992) and at last as a member of board of editors. As a part of his job, but also because of his active and creative nature he shaped or co-shaped the image of Zlatý máj. His authorial signature is visible in his texts, his opinions and preferences formed the sections and content of the magazine. Master thesis analyses the work of Z. K. Slabý and defines its place and importance in context of the literary theory and critique.
