Christa Wolf Libros

Era hija de Príamo y Hécuba. Apolo se enamoró de ella y le concedió el don de la profecía pero, al ser rechazado, se vengó disponiendo que nunca fuera creída. Casandra anunció la caída de Troya, pero los troyanos se burlaron de ella. Sobre este mito, la autora construye una apasionante analogía entre los hechos narrados en la Ilíada y el tenso periodo de guerra fría del siglo XX. La profetisa no desea ser simplemente la portavoz de Dios, anhela ante todo el conocimiento y la autoconciencia. Desde la cesta de mimbre en la que está encerrada (metáfora de la situación de la mujer en la sociedad patriarcal), vaticina la ruina, es decir, la destrucción de la cultura.

The Author's Dimension finally makes Christa Wolf's critical writing available in English. Readers of her fiction will recognize her elegant and demanding prose and the passion with which she continually examines the individual's, in particular the writer's, relationship to his or her society. But this collection also reveals the way in which Wolf approaches her art. Spanning the past three decades, the essays focus primarily on the role of the writer and literature today. Wolf interviews herself on the development of The Quest for Christa T. In a witty and probing essay on reading, she imagines her life without books and removes each layer of literary influence, from Snow White to All Quiet on the Western Front. There are perceptive essays about other writers, including Thomas Mann, Karoline von Gunderrode, Max Frisch, and Ingeborg Bachmann. Finally, the sections "On War and Peace and Politics" and "The End of the German Democratic Republic" demonstrate the ways in which Wolf's political thinking has evolved and cast light on the political situation in East Germany prior to German reunification. With its impassioned celebration of literature, this collection will interest not just those already familiar with Wolf's work but anyone engaged in the acts of writing and reading today.
