A little boy named Dula wants to be the fastest runner. He works skinning fish and, each morning, along with the other child laborers, he tries to win and get to his job first.

This sound analysis of some twenty-five novels, carefully illustrated by works little treated in...

El presente estudio se enmarca dentro de una trayectoria que parte en la especialización académica de la Filología Alemana (dentro de ella, de la Teoría de la Literatura) e incorpora la apertura que lleva la asunción de los presupuestos de la Teoría de la Cultura.

Para ello se asume una abstracción conceptual del Imperio austrohúngaro en el contexto cultural llamado...
