Peter Handke

Więcej o książce

This volume analyzes Handke's works from 1966's Hornissen to 2020's Das zweite Schwert, providing individual analyses while highlighting overarching themes in his writing. The autoreflexive elements of his experimental early work evolve into a middle phase marked by a return to traditional epic narratives and philosophically influenced literary models. In his later works, these approaches culminate in a comprehensive narrative poetics that unifies his texts. Key motifs are condensed into significant thematic complexes, addressing the realities of war, the interplay between image and writing, and the impact of modern social and media developments. The connection between Handke's texts and painterly traditions, as well as the visual strategies inherent in his writing, are emphasized.
