KEY WORDS: historical fiction, adventure novel, post-colonialism, translation, historical authenticity, violence, sexuality, figures of speech ABSTRAKT Tato práce se zabývá tetralogií Wilbura Smithe nazývanou Egyptské romány taktéž známou jako Řeka bohů I-IV. Pomocí analýzy se práce zaměřuje na vymezení tematických pilířů, na kterých je série založena, a to z pohledu četnosti výskytu a důležitosti věnované těmto tématům, jak z pohledu samotného auta, tak i literárních kritiků a čtenářů. Úvod práce je zaměřen na vytyčení podstatné literární terminologie vymezující žánr, do kterého Řeka bohu I-IV spadá. Dále je zmíněn sám autor jako představitel post-koloniální literatury včetně díla a vlastní biografie. Poté následuje samotná analýza s hlavními třemi pilíři, a to tématem ztvárnění sexuality, násilí a historické autentičnosti, na kterých svá díla Smith postavil. Poslední část práce je věnována problematice českého překladu se zřetelem na dva různé překladatele.

The topic of this diploma thesis was selected on subjective personal criteria as the entire compilation belongs to my favourite kind of novels which I have read several times. Thus, I managed to interconnect the area of my interest with studying issues. In the preface the theoretical terminology concerning genres such as adventure novel, historical novel and their overlapping and resulting in the genre historical adventure novel for Egyptian series belong into this genre will be discussed Then, the biography of the famous author Wilbur Smith with his labelling as a postcolonial writer will follow. The whole biography will be summarized. Thereafter, the Principal focus of this work will be an analysis of the tetralogy Egyptian novels where the thematic domain regarding historical authenticity will be revealed, sexuality and violence in terms of incidence and significance. Finally, the complexity of translation of Egyptian novels will be dealt with where the main focus will be on Smith´s style of writing concerning lexical as well as syntactic features. From a stylistic point of view, there will be described figures of speech, namely simile, as an individual artistic style of Smith´s writing altogether with thoughtful shift from present-day English into Old-fashioned style. Concerning syntactic structure a slight alteration will be discovered. Nevertheless it will be in compliance with translation norms. All these aspects will be compared with Czech translations and potential problems will be discussed. As a matter of the fact two different translators participated in translating the tetralogy, the complexity of issue with consequent conclusions will be presented too. 10 1 CHARACTERIZATION OF A HISTORICAL ADVENTURE NOVEL To preface relatively complex characterization of the genre historical adventure novel, it is fundamental to underscore that genres can overlap and it is not at all different with this type of literature.

  • The Independent Producer: Michael Klinger and New Film History
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Creativity and commerce: Michael Klinger and new film history Andrew Spicer* School of Creative Arts, University of the West of England, Bristol BS3 2JT, UK The crisis in film studies and history concerning their legitimacy and objectives has provoked a reinvigoration of scholarly energy in historical enquiry. „New film history‟ attempts to address the concerns of historians and film scholars by working self-reflexively with an expanded range of sources and a wider conception of „film‟ as a dynamic set of processes rather than a series of texts. The practice of new film history is here exemplified through a detailed case study of the independent British producer Michael Klinger (active 1961-1987) with a specific focus on his unsuccessful attempt to produce a war film, Green Beach, based on a memoir of the Dieppe raid (August 1942). This case study demonstrates the importance of analysing the producer‟s role in understanding the complexities of film-making, the continual struggle to balance the competing demands of creativity and commerce. In addition, its subject matter – an undercover raid and a Jewish hero – disturbed the dominant myths concerning the Second World War, creating what turned out to be intractable ideological as well as financial problems. The paper concludes that the concerns of film historians need to engage with broader cultural and social histories. Keywords: British film industry; film history; film producers; Second World War; Jewishness; Michael Klinger; Green Beach 1 *Email [email protected] The crisis in film studies, historiography, and new film history As a discipline, film studies is currently experiencing a crisis of legitimation.

  • Tutankhamun and Ramses II
    Tutankhamun and Ramses II Tutankhamun and Ramses II were two of the greatest pharaohs of the New Kingdom; they built magnificent monuments, temples, and tombs. Figure 1: Tutankhamun and Ramses II were two of the greatest pharaohs of the New Kingdom; they built magnificent monuments, temples, and tombs Tutankhamun’s burial chamber contained beautiful works of art, text and hieroglyphics. Popularly referred to as “King Tut,” Tutankhamun was a boy-king of the 18th dynasty who ruled from around 1332 BC – 1323 BC. As part of his religious restoration of the god Amun, Tutankhamun initiated the building of many monuments and temples dedicated to Amun at Thebes and Karnak. Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings was discovered almost completely intact, making it the most complete ancient Egyptian royal tomb ever found. Relics from his tomb are among the most traveled artifacts in the world. Ramses II, a pharaoh of the 19th dynasty, is often regarded as the greatest pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire and is known for his construction of cities, temples and monuments. Using art as a means of self-promotion, Ramses erected colossal statues of himself and illustrated his victories over foreigners on numerous temple reliefs. Among his most famous works are the capital city of Pi-Ramesses which was built at his command; the archaeological complex of Abu Simbel; and his mortuary temple known as the Ramesseum. Note: A relief is a type of artwork in which shapes or figures protrude from a flat background. Propaganda is a concerted set of messages aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of large numbers of people.

  • The Arab World and National Socialism – Some Reflections on an Ambiguous Relationship
    Orient-Institut Studies 1 (2012) – Rethinking Totalitarianism and its Arab Readings Götz Nordbruch The Arab World and National Socialism – Some reflections on an ambiguous relationship <1> In recent years, Nazi German history has attracted growing interest among Arab scholars and generally among a wider Arab public. Although attention is often paid to events related to the Second World War, the focus of interest increasingly includes National Socialist politics and ideology. Such attention to National Socialism among Arab audiences is not a new phenomenon. While discussions of Nazi German history were rare in most of the post-war period, the situation during the 1930s and 1940s was very different. <2> Events in National Socialist Germany were closely followed in Cairo, Beirut or Baghdad. In countless articles and commentaries, Arab observers wrote about the dissolution of the Reichstag, the persecution of Jews, the Nuremberg Laws and the militarist nature of German society under Hitler 's rule. Numerous memoirs, autobiographies and letters by prominent politicians and intellectuals, which have become available over recent decades, expose the attention directed by contemporaries to Germany 's domestic and international politics.1 Assessments of these developments were manifold – and often widely divergent. Many observers were fascinated by Hitler 's rise to power and his presumed modernization of German society, economy and the army; others were repelled by totalitarian rule, the racial theories on which it was built and its revisionist policies towards its neighbours. <3> This article questions two paradigms which continue to characterize historical studies of Arab responses to Nazi Germany. The first reading of Arab-Nazi German encounters suggests that responses to Nazism were mainly characterized by collusion with National Socialist ideology and its representatives in the region.
