oder: Warum das aristotelische Konzept auch hier funktioniert
Keywords:
Aristotle, Henning Mankell, Mira Lobe, Siegfried Lenz, added value of narrative theoryAbstract
An exemplary analysis of three books written for young readers shall show the validity of Aristotle’s poetical theory of beginning, middle and end as constituent parts of a perfectly told story across the genres and prove its practical benefit. The telling examples will be two novels (one by Henning Mankell and another one by Mira Lobe) and a picture book by Siegfried Lenz.
