Translation of two chapters from Toni Morrison's Sula with an introduction to the author, the style of the novel and translation challenges

This thesis consists of two parts. The first part presents a translation of two chapters of the novel Sula (1973) written by Toni Morrison, an African American author. The second part includes the author's summarized biography and a list of her works. It also focuses on the critical reception of her novels in the Czech Republic and the key themes and stylistic devices she uses. The thesis then shifts its focus to Sula, providing an analysis of the text as the basis for a commentary. The commentary discusses the main translation problems, including identifying extended metaphors and working with them, word play, and (African) American cultural references.
