Meinrad Inglins Die Welt in Ingoldau und E.Y. Meyers In Trubschachen: Ein Vergleich
Abstract
Parallels are established between Meinrad Inglin’s Die Welt in Ingoldau (1922) and E.Y. Meyer’s In Trubschachen (1973), for instance, in both cases the setting of the fictional story gave rise to a scandal in a real place. The themes of the novels are examined in the context of their time. Both make a plea for a basis to life in society other than the contemporary one: Ingoldau becomes the setting for a great hope, Trubschachen the setting for a fleetingly glimpsed alternative. Both fictional settings in Switzerland reflect possibilities in their respective periods which point far beyond Switzerland.Se establecen en el artículo una serie de paralelismos entre las obras Die Welt in Ingoldau (1922) de Meinrad Inglin e In Trubschachen (1973) de E. Y. Meyer, entre otros los referentes al hecho de que en ambos casos el escenario de la ficción se desarrolla en lugares reales. Los temas de las novelas se analizan también en el marco del contexto en el que surgen. Ambas defienden una base diferente a la contemporánea para la vida social: Ingoldau se convierte en el escenario de una gran esperanza, Trubschachen en el de una alternativa pasajera. Ambos lugares ficticios situados en Suiza reflejan posibilidades en la época en cuestión que apuntan mucho más allá de la Confederación Helvética.
