KREJČOVÁ, Kateřina
The bachelor thesis deals with the origin and meaning of gargoyles as well as traditional mythology, where it explores the sources of inspiration for their creation. The work presents examples of the European steel cathedral builders' works, by means of which they describe the way of creation and creation of gargoyles in the environment of the stoneworks.

Things and Words in Georgi Gospodinov's Poetry
Zajac, Ondřej ; Grigorov, Dobromir (advisor) ; Černý, Marcel (referee)
This MA thesis is primarily concerned with the poetics of the first two poetry collections by the Bulgarian writer Georgi Gospodinov. The said collections, Lapidarium and The Cherry Tree of One People were published for the first time in the 1990s. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the author's debut, Lapidarium; mainly, we are attempting to capture the collection's characteristic traits and draw attention to the conspicious features connecting this oeuvre with the book Tao Te Ching. In the second part we continue by the analysis of The Cherry Tree of One People. We are focusing on the change of the author's poetics and furthermore, we concetrate on the national/supranatural aspects of the texts. In the concluding part, we anchor Gospodinov's work in the wider context of the 1990s and provide a comparison of contemporary Czech and Bulgarian poetry.
