Bakalářská práce se zaměřuje na autora Letopisů Narnie Clive Staples Lewise a na jeho cestu od ateismu k víře. Jejím záměrem je zkoumat fiktivní postavy z děl autora, které jsou buď skeptické vůči víře, nebo si prochází fází skepticismu, která se určitým způsobem podobá právě té C.S. Lewise. První část bakalářské práce se zabývá společenským a historickým kontextem doby, v níž C.S. Lewis působil jako voják v první světové válce. Zároveň v tomto období psal převážně ateistickou poezii. Druhá část je zaměřená na popis života autora, konkrétně na jeho postupnou ztrátu křesťanské víry v mládí a taktéž na případné výhrady ke křesťanství, které autorovi znemožňovaly opětovnou náboženskou konverzi. Hlavní částí bakalářské práce je analýza daných fiktivních postav a příčin jejich skepticismu, zabývá se rovněž i hledáním paralel mezi těmito postavami a životem samotného C.S. Lewise. Mezi klíčová témata patří vzpoura, osamělost, irská identina a severská mytologie.

This bachelor thesis focuses on Clive Staples Lewis, the author of Chronicles of Narnia, and his journey from atheism to Christianity. The aim of this thesis is to analyse certain fictional characters from the works of the author, which are either sceptical regarding their faith or are going through a phase of scepticism, which resembles the one of C.S. Lewis himself. The first part of the thesis describes the historical as well as the social background and mainly focuses on World War I and its consequences, since C.S Lewis fought in the war himself and wrote atheistic poetry at the time. The second part of the thesis is concerned with the author's life, the possible causes of his atheism, and his main objections against the Christian belief which prevented his religious conversion. The main part is focused on analysing similarities and parallels between C.S. Lewis's life and the sceptical characters in his works regarding the causes of their scepticism. The most common themes discussed in this thesis are rebellion, loneliness, Irish identity and the Norse mythology.

Zásady pro vypracování
Although C. S. Lewis is most known for his religious fiction and his Christian thinking, there are prominent sceptic characters in his works, whose objections against faith in general very often reflect the objections C. S. Lewis had himself before he became a devoted Christian. Through these characters, I explore what led them to their scepticism, atheism, what arguments they use against faith and how all of this is connected with C. S. Lewis's personal religious journey.

2. Social background and context
