Tato bakalářská práce se zabývá tématem lidské adaptace na přírodu v románech Charlese Fraziera, jmenovitě v Cold Mountain, Thirteen Moons a Nightwoods. Příroda, která hraje ve Frazierových knihách důležitou roli, má výrazný vliv na chování i na život jednotlivých postav. Mým cílem je nalézt hlavní faktory, jenž jim pomáhají navázat dialog s přírodou a které ovlivňují vztah těchto postav k přírodnímu prostředí, ve kterém žijí. Tato práce se soustředí na osobní zkušenosti a prožitky těchto postav, na jejich sociální původ a rodinné zázemí, a také na historické události jako na klíčové faktory, které jejich adaptaci na přírodu ovlivňují.

The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to explore the theme of human adaptation to nature in Charles Frazier's novels Cold Mountain, Thirteen Moons and Nightwoods. Frazier gives nature an important role in all his three novels and it has a major power over characters' lives and behavior. My objective is to identify the main factors which determine or influence characters' relation to nature and establish a dialogue with nature. The thesis discusses characters' personal experiences, social and family background as well as historical events as the crucial factors of their adaptation.
