The German realism and the short stories of Costantinos Chatzopoulos
Abstract
This article is an analysis and a reevaluation of the main characteristics of the literary movement of the German ('bourgeois' or 'poetic') realism and of the short stories of Costantinos Chatzopoulos. My analysis confirms that the Greek author was greatly influenced by this literary movement, with which he became familiar during the ten years of his migration in Germany. In this study I try to retrace and register the main aesthetic and ideological implications of the German movement, as they are expressed in the narratives of Chatzopoulos in his attempt to define the Self and its main experiences at the dawn of the 20th century.
