Majcen, Maša (author), Smolej, Tone (mentor)

Magistrsko delo se osredotoča na fenomen Adolfa Hitlerja in njegove pojavnosti v literaturi. Obravnavanih je pet literarnih del različnih zvrsti in žanrov, v katerih se kot glavna ali stranska literarna oseba pojavi Adolf Hitler. Predstavljeni so kratka zgodba Geneza in katastrofa (1959) Roalda Dahla, satirični roman Spet je tukaj (2012) Timurja Vermesa, mladinski roman Deček na vrhu gore (2015), ki ga je napisal John Boyne, satira Adolfa Hitlerja tretja svetovna vojna in kratki kurz vladanje za začetnike (1980) Miloša Mikelna in znanstvenofantastični roman Človek v visokem dvorcu (1962) Philipa K. Dicka. Osrednja točka analize posameznega dela je označitev Hitlerja kot literarne osebe, osrednji del magistrskega dela pa predstavlja primerjava vseh petih literarnih Hitlerjev ter predstavitev rezultatov in postavitev le-teh v kontekst.

This thesis examines the phenomenon of Adolf Hitler and his appearance in literature. It analyses five literary works from different genres in which Adolf Hitler appears as a main or as a supporting character; a short story Genesis and Catastrophe: A True Story by Roald Dahl (1959), a satirical novel Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes (2012), a young-adult novel The Boy at the Top of the Mountain by John Boyne (2015), a satire Adolf Hitler's Third World War and a Short Course in Ruling for Beginners by Miloš Mikeln (1980) and a science-fiction novel The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick (1962). The analysis of each work focuses on the character analysis of the fictional Hitler. The main contribution of the thesis is the comparison of the five fictional Hitlers and their contextualization.
