    • Characteristic of naturalist prose, society is presented with reference to sordidness and social periphery, though not in a Zola-esque or egalitarian manner. Stylistically, however, Niese, like Westkirch, signals authorial respectability throughout. Aber schon ihre Skizzen [ Licht und Schatten is here accused of being pale and unrealistic, yet it depicts physical and psychological depravity, domestic violence, attempted rape and murder, as well as several deaths resulting from abuse and neglect, alongside the chaos and tragedy ensuing from the cholera outbreak.

    The overt focalisation of the restoration of ideal values could be seen as a simplistic or retrogressive response to unstoppable, collective changes. What appears as a straightforward recommendation, however, is undermined sub-textually by an idiosyncratic character. Folkert Dierks, who both opens and closes the narrative, emerges from the marshes of Schleswig-Holstein to seek work as a dock worker in Hamburg.

    He is a kind of natural, primitive man who lacks formal education and social grace, but who has an unshakeable inner integrity which makes him a pivotal narratorial axis, without fitting into any of the foregrounded social milieus. He is offered social advance but resists this; unable to achieve authenticity in the city, he finally leaves, alone, for a smallholding on an island.

    The complementary part of this refutation appears in his complex female counterpart. She, like him, is essentially an outsider to the main societal scheme, but, rather than embodying resilience and health, appears as an emblem of psychological dysfunction and of disorientation. The ostensibly minor character of Rose is a strikingly beautiful proletarian character who is ambitious for social advantage. Rose is embroiled in a chaotic chain of narrative events and she eventually suffers a breakdown after being left for dead by the previously referred-to demonic character, who jealously attempts to kill her.

    She is rescued, and taken in to convalesce under the auspices of a homely country woman. In the context of Licht und Schatten , this is a radical step ripe for censure. It is, however, reported with little narratorial interference, characteristic of naturalistic convention:. It is significant that Rose is ultimately observed, in naturalistic fashion, rather than judged. She must leave the confines of German society in order to delimit her life from the censure of her sensuality as well as of her material ambitions.

If anything, it's described here as a lone holdout, like the Armorican village. Comment I'm not sure why everybody seems to think of Russia when a dictator in the northeast of Europe is mentioned. Comment I don't know what exactly the OP is referring to, but even that doesn't really matter here. Today, on the political map of contemporary Europe, the guiding principle of this story can be read with inverse characters.

    Europe belongs entirely to the democrats. Also, ganz Gallien war von "Undemokraten" besetzt, nur ein kleines Dorf nicht. I also found what it seems to be the original quote: Gaul is under the Roman rule…well, not exactly, there is a small Gaulish village that continues to resist against the Roman Legions with the help of a magic potion that gives them superhuman strength. Didn't find the original Asterix and Obelix in English, but maybe one of you has it. Actually, the original quote wasn't the problem, but "umgekehrte Vorzeichen".

    Comment "inverse characters" doesn't work here, IMO, as it would refer more to the font in which it is written than the allegory. It is Lukashenko, the Belorussian dictator. But as dude said: Surely you're not serious. But thanks to everyone for the missing information that it was a modern text and which country the writer had in mind. Sources Bel a rus.

Comment I do like inverse parody even more than my inverse characters , and that will be my choice indeed if I don't come up with something better myself. I know, I know, hope dies last ;-.

    Ignoring the political question for the time being, of the suggested translations I actually prefer the one hm--us made in On the political map of contemporary Europe, the motif of this story can be read today with reversed polarity.

    That's how I remember my math. But that's not particularly relevant for this context.

    That makes no sense to me. For the tables to have turned or the situation to have been reversed , the Romans would now have to live in some tiny village while the Gauls would have to have conquered almost all of Europe - in other words: Obviously, that;s not the case. Replacing the Gauls with democracy and the Romans with some dictator in Belarus is neither "turning the tables" nor "reversing the situation"; that's maybe - depending on your point of view - a comparison, an allegory or a parody. But that's just my take. Comment VWIW I agree with Dude "turn the tables" means whoever is in the weaker position manages to change the relationship so they are in the dominant position, I'd say - doesn't fit here IMO.
