The present diploma thesis "Claude Simon. Introduction and interpretation" is philosophical interpretation of the novels of the French writer Claude Simon, the Nobel prize winner for literature in 1985, whose work has been in the Czech academic field neglected theme. My interpretation is based on the philosophy of G. Deleuze and according to him I understand Simon's work like a rhizome, that is like decentralized heterogenous links, multiplicities and lines which are not subjects to any structural model. In my interpretation I start with novel Le Vent (The Wind) from 1957, because it's a text in which are being manifest fundamental themes of Simon's poetic such as are event nature of the fiction world or the lost of transcendence and its transformation into immanence of life affairs. The analysis of the novel Le Vent makes possible to pass continuosly and frequently to Simon's other novels (Histoire, Les Gèorgiques, Le Palace, L'Herbe, La Route des Flandres). The aim of the diploma thesis is to reach coherent interpretation of the Simon's work.

Life and work of a late baroque painter Joseph Hager The thesis outlines artistic work of Joseph Hager, Czech late baroque painter. The author, especially of the wall painting, studied by Jan Karel Kovář and Antonio d'Agostini. Later worked as an assistant of František Karel Palko in a church St. Nicolas placed in Lesser Town od Prague. The illusive painting of architecture was his specialization. He worked primarily in Czech, but for example he decorated also a church in Vranov near Brno or a church in Dresden. The essential part of thesis is catalog of realizations, which contains a lot of extant works, but also a few realizations, which during the ages were destroyed.

Annotation: The present thesis is dedicated to the former Czech queen and Austrian Empress Maria Anna of Savoy (1803-1884) and the location of her frequent visits, Northern Bohemia's castle of Ploskovice. Anna Marie and her husband Ferdinand V (1793-1875) chose the castle as their summer residence after the Emperor's abdication in 1848. In order to properly represent the dignity of the former ruler of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine, both outside and inside, it was necessary to adjust the palace significantly in quite a short time, which was successfully realised in the spirit of contemporary rococo style by Czech artists and craftsmen. The individual chapters of the thesis deal with the life story of Anne Marie and the changes of castle Ploskovice - its history, reconstructions, facilities and decorations, especially from the perspective of history of art.

I perceive the thesis as the outcome of longer-term considerations over the relationship between architecture and music, as well as the concepts of genius loci, memory of place, or site-specific art. Thanks to the closer encounter with the Broumov landscape and the churches designed by the architects Kryštof and Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer, located in it, these reflections were connected with the term Baroque. The work is an experiment exploring the diversity of contemporary musical approaches responding to unified task based on the principles of Baroque architecture.
