Doktorarbeit / Dissertation aus dem Jahr 2022 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Komparatistik, Vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, Note: magna cum laude, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Gegenüberstellung der Werke "1984" (1949) von George Orwell, "Vor dem Gesetz" (1915) von Franz Kafka und "Memento" (2000) von Christopher Nolan zeigte uns die verblüffende Ähnlichkeit des Plots, was vor allem die affektive Verfassung der Protagonisten und ihren Werdegang betraf. Angst, Verzweiflung, Schmerz, Verlust, Verrat und Tod sind Zustände, die dem Mann vom Lande in der Parabel "Vor dem Gesetz", Winston Smith in dem Roman "1984" und Leonard Shelby in dem Film "Memento" widerfahren.

THE LAST RESORT North Country Academy is where desperate parents send their troubled teenagers when all else has failed. For remote Trout Run, New York, the school means good jobs, always scarce in the Adirondacks. But to Police Chief Frank Bennett, the Academy -- with its roster of delinquent students and its unlikable but curiously compelling headmaster, MacArthur Payne -- means an open invitation to trouble. When a teacher leading a survivalist wilderness expedition is mauled by a bear, evidence points to sabotage. As Frank's investigation leads him behind the gated walls of Payne's institution, he finds a place that is more prison than school. Under political pressure to keep the school open at all costs, Frank risks his career and his life to unravel a knot of old scores and new rivalries...before they turn deadly.
My Three Lives was Stefan Zweig's working title for his memoir The World of Yesterday, also published by Pushkin Press and translated by Anthea Bell. In this definitive biography, Oliver Matuschek uses the title to reference the three major phases in Zweig's life—his years of apprenticeship, his years of success as a professional working writer in Salzburg, and finally his years of exile in Britain, the USA and Brazil. Drawing on a great wealth of newly available sources, Oliver Matuschek recounts the eventful life of a writer spoilt by success—a life lived in the shadow of two world wars, and which ended tragically in a suicide pact. Including the sort of personal detail conspicuously absent from Zweig's memoir, and incorporating newly discovered documents, Matuschek's biography offers us a privileged view into the private world of the master of psychological insight.
Diploma Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 1 (A), University of Graz (American Studies), language: English, abstract: INSPIRATION What does it mean when the name "Orwell" is mentioned in the news? Does it mean that fiction has become fact? Is America heading towards a totalitarian society? These are the questions I asked myself when I began to carve out the framework for the topic of my thesis. It was in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 that I developed a genuine interest about America and its domestic and political agendas. When the planes slammed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, I was on my way to go to a class at the ...
