Cestopis Jiřího Tektandera z Jablonného / Travel book of Jiří Tektander from JablonnéANDERLOVÁ, Jitka January 2011 (has links)
Current literary history mainly highlights humanistic travel publications written in the Czech language. Voyages in the foreign languages are staying in the background of the literary field or unfortunately are even neglected in spite of the fact that their cognitive function is not weakened. Submitted thesis is trying to break or disturb this way of observing at least and at the same time attempts to intergrate the German-written work by the Czech traveller into the Czech literary tradition. Jiří Tektander from Jablonné, the author of the voyage, wrote down his experiences and remarks of the diplomatic mission, which had been delegated to Persian Shah Abbas the Great by Rudolph II. in 1602. Tektander became the first Czech man who visited and described Persian Empire and Armenia. He was the only one from Rudolph´s Ministers who survived the long course in three arranged expeditions. At that time our analysed work was very popular and was also published twice. In spite of its popularity, the revolutionary year and the events happened after the beginning of the November 1620 was unfortunately fatal for that work and it was almost neglected. The aim of this thesis is a kind of revival of the Tektander´s vovage and also it is an attempt to include this work in the imaginary refined humanistic literature. This thesis is trying to map the trace of the Emperor´s delegation, explore visited locations, also compare remarked facts with the reality and finally insert to the historical context.
