- German literature of the last 120 years allows us to observe, through the eyes of numerous authors the affascinating and complex making of todays German-speaking world, through periods of splendour and vitality, moments of crisis and tragical involution. Hofmannsthal, Kafka, Brecht, Dürrenmatt, Peter Handke, Christa Wolf and many others will be studied within the historical and cultural context, in order to point out their specific contribution to the world literature of our age.
