Bezstarosti, Jindra ; Hošna, Jiří (advisor) ; Vaněk, Václav (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the translation of the character of John of Nepomuk. First, it is focused on the character of John of Nepomuk like the historical personality. Second, this thesis describes character of John of Nepomuk like the baroque construct in literary works of Bohuslav Balbin. The thesis also deals with the genesis of St. John's anti-legend. The genesis is observed through long disputes about the character of John of Nepomuk. The translation considers the Nepomuk's legend to be at least as viable as the anti-legend. The proof of this theory that regards the both legend viable, the thesis recognizes in current Midsummer (St. John's) festivities.
