В тази книга се опитвам да задам някои от най-съществените въпроси за словесното изкуство. Реалистичен ли е реализмът? Как дефинираме сполучливата метафора? Какво е литературен герой? Как разпознаваме брилянтните детайли в произведението? Какво е гледна точка и какви са механизмите ѝ? Какво е художествено съпричастие? Защо ни вълнува белетристиката? Стари въпроси, възродени напоследък в сферата на академичната критика и литературната теория. Не съм убеден обаче, че академичната критика и литературната теория са им отговорили подобаващо. Надявам се тази книга да задава теоретични въпроси, ала да им отговаря ... |

Всяко време създава своите митове. Нещо повече: всеки мит - древен или съвременен - се "рои", ражда свои подобия и оставя "поколения" в следващите епохи, като продължава живота си в човешкото съзнание.

Авторът осмисля някои от големите литературни митове - за "Доктор Фауст", за "Дон Жуан", за "Вилхелм Тел", за "Тил Ойленшпигел", - и проникновено навлиза в световете на немската, австрийската, швейцарската литература от ... |
