Conventions of Radka Denemarková’s Novel Peníze od Hitlera (Money from Hitler) along with its Reception

Radka Denemarková’s Peníze od Hitlera (Money from Hitler), edited in 2006, is a succesful novel. It has been perceived by critics as a significant work and traslated into ten languages. Despite this positive response, it is my belief that the novel is not an outstanding work. The construction of the text is full of stereotypes. It uses well-worn narrative procedures, conventional images and symbols as well as banal metaphors. That is why the credibility of the characters and situations presented in Peníze od Hitlera disappears very often. There is also a preexisting model of this novel, the play Der Besuch der alten Dame (1956, The Visit of the Old Lady), written by Friedrich Dürrenmatt. Unlike Dürrenmat, Denemarková emphasizes the dark scenes and the melodramatic emotionality of her novel. Therefore, her work is close to conventional clichés.Radka Denemarková’s Peníze od Hitlera (Money from Hitler), edited in 2006, is a succesful novel.

Several Narrative Strategies in Yiddish and Czech Stories

This article deals with six short stories written in Yiddish and Czech analyzing their narrative strategies. In The German by Sholem Aleichem the limited first-person perspective of the story makes it impossible to look into the inner world of the German. Similar characters are presented in Aleichem’s Hard Luck and Elijah the Prophet. At the end of Hard Luck a dialogue breaks the limited perspective. The main character of Isaac Leybush Peretz’s The Shtrayml seems to be a type of naive narrator; in fact, in the last part of the story, he expresses the author’s irony and social criticism. The German by Aleichem probably inspired The Miracle with Julčaby Czech author Ivan Olbracht. Here, however, the protagonist’s perspective is sometimes extended by the author’s perspective. In Ladislav Grosman’s The Bride the contrast between the characters’ and the readers’ expectations is presented by the significant change of the narrator’s point of view. The peripheral narrator concentrated on private life becomes the author’s narrator who knows the future

The Message of the book of Haggai

Poselství knihy Ageus Abstrakt: Tato diplomová práce se zabývá poselstvím knihy Ageus, používá dva základní zdroje: hebrejský text (Tanach) a řecký text (Septuagintu). Každý z původních textů je přeložený do češtiny v rámci exegetického výzkumu. Obě exegeze jsou učiněny verš po verši. Tato práce je rozdělena do čtyř kapitol. První kapitola se zaměřuje na poselství knihy Ageus v Tanachu, druhá kapitola v Septuagintě. Třetí kapitola porovnává výsledky obou exegezí. Poslední kapitola této práce sleduje historii interpretací, tj. výsledky vybraných vykladačů: Jan Kalvín a jiní v 19., 20. a 21. století v Evropě a v USA. Komentáře knihy Ageus neodráží vše, autor této práce na to reaguje v poslední kapitole (na základě obou exegezí). To je přínos této práce. Boží poselství ke svému lidu je tím nejdůležitějším poselstvím knihy Ageus. Většina teologů Starého zákona tvrdí, že Božím záměrem byl nový chrám v Jeruzalémě (tj. druhý chrám). Výsledky této práce se shodují s výsledky českého teologa Jiřího Beneše (2006): Boží slovo o chrámu je metaforou, chrámem je Boží lid. Božím záměrem je pokání srdce. Poselství knihy Ageus je ve shodě s poselstvím Nového zákona (J 2,19-22; Sk 15,13-18; 2 K 6,16). Pád prvního chrámu (Šalomounův chrám) v r. 587 př. n. l. a pád druhého chrámu v r. 70 n. l. také potvrzují výsledky této...The Message of book of Haggai Abstract of Diploma thesis This Diploma thesis deals with message of book of Haggai, uses two original Sources: hebrew text (Tanak) and Greek text (Septuagint). Each of the original text is translated into czech in the context of exegesis research. Both exegeses are constructed verse by verse. This thesis is divided into four chapters. Chapter one focuses on the message of book of Haggai in Tanach, chapter two in Septuagint. Chapter three compares results of both exegeses. The last chapter of this thesis tracks the history of interpretations, i. e. results of selected interpreters: Jan Calvin and others from 19th, 20th and 21st century in the Europe and the USA. Commentaries of book of Haggai do not reflect everything, Author of this thesis reacts on it in last chapter (on the basis of both exegeses). This is the benefit of this thesis. God's message to his people is the most important message of book of Haggai. Most theologians of the Old Testament claim, that God's intention was new Temple in Jerusalem (i.e. Second Temple). The results of this Diploma thesis coincide with the results of Czech theologian Jiří Beneš (2006): God's word about the Temple is the metaphor, the Temple is God's people. God's intention is repented of the heart. The message of book of Haggai coincide...HTF - Katedra biblistiky a judaistikyHussite Theological FacultyHusitská teologická fakult
