This thesis deals with the phenomenon of proper names in a specific area of written Czech literature about the Spanish pilgrimage route called Saint James´ Way (Svatojakubská cesta in Czech). The theoretical part first describes definition, different types of classification and correct orthography of proper names in Czech and Spanish. Then it deals with the Galician language as the cooficial language of the Galician autonomous Spanish region where the pilgrimage route ends. The Galician toponymy and basic rules of national Spanish press related to the use of cooficial languages such as Catalan, Galician and Basque in comparison to Spanish are also covered. The last chapter focuses on general problems associated with the translation of proper names into other foreign languages. The main task of the practical part of this thesis is to analyse two specific books written in different genres. Some problems connected to this process are explained in the beginning, and afterwards they are evaluated and contrasted with the results of various classifications that had been made within the proper names in both publications. One chapter is dedicated to Galician proper names and finally comes the discussion of the correctness of orthography employed by the authors. The conclusion sums up the result of the whole analysis.

Its major concern is the pilgrim s spirituality the way it shows in the path to Saint James of Compostela, the ancient medieval pilgrimage path. The sources of our research are the narratives of Brazilian pilgrims who, after having walked the Way of Saint James, published their experiences in works classified as hodoeporic literature, travel narratives. Our hypothesis is that, despite some may consider that the jacobean route has been losing its main characteristic, to wit, the Christian message and the religious attitude expected from this kind of phenomenon, there is a huge number of pilgrims that keep its spiritual tradition alive during their journey. Thus, born within a remarkable religious context, the pilgrimage still implies the practice of religious and spiritual disposition of contemporary pilgrims, reaching far beyond tourism business exempt from spiritual values / O presente estudo tem como objetivo montar um perfil do peregrino brasileiro no Caminho de Santiago com enfoque em sua espiritualidade, como ela aparece na sua jornada pela antiga rota medieval de peregrinação. Nossa fonte de pesquisa foram os relatos de viagem de peregrinas e peregrinos brasileiros que ao voltarem do Caminho de Santiago publicaram suas experiências em obras que classificamos como exemplos de literatura odepórica, os relatos de viagem. Nossa hipótese considera que, apesar da crença de que a rota jacobea corre o risco de perder sua principal característica - a mensagem cristã e a conduta religiosa que se espera desse tipo de fenômeno - há um grande número de peregrinos que mantém viva a tradição espiritual durante a jornada. Desse modo, nascida em um contexto religioso muito marcante, a peregrinação continua a envolver a prática de uma conduta religiosa e espiritual do peregrino contemporâneo, descaracterizando-se, assim, uma função meramente turística e isenta de valores espirituais
