    Gor'kij­Bogdanov : Aperçu sur une correspondance non publiée

    No full text
    Jutta Scherrer, Gor'kii - Bogdanov. An appraisal of unpublished correspondence. The author traces the course of Gor'kii's relationship with Bogdanov as it emerges from his correspondence, to dale unpublished, with the philosopher and political figure during the years 1908-1910, a period marking the first crisis within the Bolshevik fraction - the bitter struggle between its main leaders of the moment, Lenin and Bogdanov. Gor'kii actively adopts a position in favor of the latter: for him Bogdanov's political and cultural vision represents a real and coherent alternative to Lenin's "orthodoxy". This article aims to give no more than a brief account of Bolshevism in the early years of its development : other, more important elements drawn from the collection of documents are analysed in a forthcoming publication.Jutta Scherrer, Gor'kij - Bogdanov. Aperçu sur une correspondance non publiée. On retrace ici une étape des relations de Gor'kij avec Bogdanov à travers une correspondance, jusqu'ici inédite, de l'écrivain avec le philosophe et l'homme politique, au cours des années 1908 à 1910. Cette période est marquée par la première crise à l'intérieur de la fraction bolchevique, voire par la lutte acharnée entre ses principaux dirigeants d'alors, Lenin et Bogdanov. Gor'kij prend vivement position pour ce dernier dont le projet politique et culturel représente à ses yeux une véritable alternative à l'« orthodoxie » de Lenin. Cet article ne donne qu'un aperçu de l'histoire du bolchevisme à ses débuts. Des éléments plus importants se dégageront de la collection de documents qui sera publiée prochainement.Scherrer Jutta. Gor'kij­Bogdanov : Aperçu sur une correspondance non publiée. In: Cahiers du monde russe et soviétique, vol. 29, n°1, Janvier-Mars 1988. Maksim Gor'kij (1868 - 1936) cinquante ans après. pp. 41-51

    Epiphanies at the Supermarket: An Interview with Brigitte Kronauer

    Full text link
    Brigitte Kronauer has been called "the greatest German [female] fiction writer of our time" (Marcel Reich-Ranicki). Her stories, novels, and criticism have established her as a uniquely sophisticated literary voice and won her many literary prizes. Kronauer's trademarks are her laser-sharp vision, her luminous prose, and the intricate structures of her uncannily realistic literary universes. Finding the mystical in the mundane and exposing human foibles with subtle irony, Kronauer creates, in the words of one critic, epiphanies at the supermarket. Beneath its everyday surface her fiction deals with the eternal human questions of life, death, and love. At a still deeper level it circles around philosophical issues such as our futile attempts to find truth in our own constructs of reality. In her interview with Jutta Ittner the author reflects on her individual path to writing. She describes the role of literature in creating a semblance of order in a multifaceted reality, and she discusses the structure of her literary universes, her characters and their aspirations, and the importance of animals for man's quest for a meaningful life. Finally, Kronauer explains how she sees herself in terms of women's literature and indicates where her writing is headed
