Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Aharon Appelfeld, a writer who lives in Israel, and Philip Roth from Newark (USA) sem from totally different region and ways of life. Nevertheless they have a great topic in common: escaping. - Aharon Appelfeld escaped in his early years from an Ucrainian concentration camp and strayed through forests and forgotten zones, before he could manage to go to Israel. Almost all of the protagonists of his novels have to deal with flight, but hardly anyone of them reaches what he was looking or hoping for. - Philip Roth's protagonsts fight religious education and tradition and try to escape from them. They want to get free, but often get stuck in erotic affairs that turn out rediclos or tragic. - Both novelists arouse the question who man is as he wants or have to flee or hunt for something; and there is also the question of religion and its meaning for man in the background.
