Prague as a literary topos of authors of the German minority from the beginning of the 20th century

Abstrakt

Contribution analyzes the city as a literary topos, especially in the context of the two less known authors of the German minority in Prague at the beginning of the 20th century (Paul Leppin and Hermann Ungar), which show the Prague as a place of social marginalization, alienation and anxiety, drawing of the social atmosphere of that time with common feelings of horror and eroticism morphing architecture of the city in the interior of its protagonists. Contribution complements this theme with the views of Deleuze and Guattari on minority literature.
