| Description | The paper analyses two expressionistic views of the WW2 suffering as they are depicted in Richard Weiner's Lítice (1916) and Jan Weiss's Barák smrti (1927). The paper pays attention to the constitutive elements on the level of motifs, in naming the evil (ranging from the metaphysical pole in Weiner's text to its concrete form in Weiss's prose). Common feature of both texts seems to be the irrationality of dream and feverish visions used as means of depicting the monstrosity of the period. |
