After Skácel was forced to leave the managing post because of the political reasons, the magazine was led by editor Jan Trefulka. Trefulka was trying to continue in the steps of his predecessor and led the magazine in similar style. Therefore I covered also this time period (1969-1970) after which the magazine was completely stopped by the officials.

The aim of this thesis is to define Jan Opolský′s prosaic works with emphasis put on his evident inspiration through fine arts. The work of Jan Opolský does not exceed limits of a short stories. It almost falls short of an action. The predominant feature would be reflexion and visual description. That is especially the case with voluminious parts devoted to the bright light and the color nuances - with their changing expresions and diverse shades reflected on the presented object of art. The whole momentum of his prosaic work tends to be included in exactly these parts of his ouvre. In his writing, Opolský uses his skills he earned as a craftsman and as an expert in various artistic fields. Because of his obsession with the world of art, he can be considered a good example of a decadent artist. A number of his texts, especially given these features it is focusing on, have symbolic legitimacy anyway.

The Concept of Love in the Epistles of John : Comparison with the Concept of Apostle Paul This thesis concerns the concept of love in John's Epistles. It tries to compare this concept with the way Paul uses the notion of love in his Epistles. It is primarily based on the biblical text, and it gives voice to commentaries in the second plan.

The same outline is followed in the description of Paul's understanding of the notion of love. Finally, both concepts are compared and summarised in several points. The goal of the thesis is to cover both authors' basis, opinions and conclusions of understanding the notion of love to show the differences and the...

Synopsis This diploma thesis describes an artistic cooperation of two czech actors Miroslav Horníček and Miloš Kopecký who had been acting together from their beginnings in the Avant-garde Větrník Theatre, the Satira Theatre, the National Theatre and even the ABC Theatre where they started to perform as a comic duo. They brought a humour of the Osvobozené Theatre back to the stage while they set the theatre poetics on, particularly in an improvisational revue called Tvrďák. Their short artistic cooperation finished in Karlín Musical Theatre where were presented both of the author's plays. One of them was standing on the top and the second one on the bottom of spectator's interest. The main focus of my master thesis is based on the analysis of their common productions and on the final appreciation of that artistic duo whose exceptionality mainly consisted of an outstanding acting, a brilliant intelligence and a quick volubility.

This thesis compares two chronicles - Kronika česká by Václav Hájek z Libočan and first part of Poselkyně starých příběhů českých by Jan František Beckovský. The comparison showed that both texts (especially in the second part) are very different in their content and manner of processing. Chroniclers supported their narration by many sources of different nature. J. F. Beckovský corrected Hajek's errors, if he had other sources. He interspersed his chronicle with number of documents and own experience he gained while traveling. The authors differ mainly in the content of chronicles. J. F. Beckovský deleted almost all the messages that relate to events abroad and retains only those that are linked to events in the Czech Kingdom. Further differences can be seen in the concept of historical figures, such as Boleslav I., Jan Hus or Jiří z Poděbrad. At the ideological site V. Hájek accented against-town and catholic tendencies. These tendencies are not confirmed in my research. V. Hájek opposes all those who (according to him) disturb peace in the country - against the Germans, Jews and Lutheran priests. Furtermore, in conjunction with these chronicles commonly talked about their Catholic spirit and hatred and anti-Hussite attitude. However V. Hájek assumed an attitude to Jan Hus and Jeroným quite...
