Mi in Slovani, to je star boj! Freytag, nacionalna čustva in Slovani

Smolej, Tone (author)

Prispevek se ukvarja s fenomenom knjige V breme in v dobro (v izvirniku Soll und Haben, 1855) Gustava Freytaga, ki je bil nekoč najbolj bran nemški roman. Obravnavane so podobe tujih narodov. Freytag je ustvaril enega najbolj antisemitsko zasnovanih nemških romanesknih junakov, Poljake pa je kritiziral, da nimajo meščanskega stanu in so zato brez kulture. Na koncu prispevek oriše reakcijo na Freytagovo slavofobijo pri Josipu Jurčiču.

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of Gustav Freytag’s novel Soll und Haben (Debit and Credit, 1855), which at one point was the most widely read German novel. Specifically, it focuses on the images of non-German nations: Freytag created one of the most anti-Semitically conceived novel protagonists while criticizing Poles for their lack of bourgeoisie and, consequently, culture. The article concludes with an account of Josip Jurčič’s reaction to Freytag’s Slavophobia.
