The present study researches the literary materializations of the Heimat visions as they emerge from Herta Müller’s Atemschaukel and Aglaja Veteranyi’s Warum das Kind in der Polenta kocht. The Heimat concepts are narratologically constructed both as Erinnerungsräume and as imaginary geographies. Usage of these notions will be made according to the definitions of Aleida Assmann respectively Doris Bachmann-Medick. Heimat is seen as a space from the past, which is projected with the force of the memories in the present having an imaginary geography, that can be articulated on three aspects associated with this concept: shelter, food and possessions.

According to Arthur Rimbaud’s famous saying “Je est un autre” Max Frisch develops in his early diaries an idea of love which has to orient itself by the ban on images in the Old Testament and which, as a modern concept, has to renounce every image of oneself and the other at all. In Max Frisch’s novel Stiller the roots of this seemingly biblical belief can be found both in an aesthetic attitude towards life (as pointed out in Sören Kierkegaardʼs scriptures, especially in Entweder-Oder) and in an existentialist understanding of life (as set forth in the philosophical work of Jean-Paul Sartre). Max Frisch’s novel Stiller can be read as a literary experiment of achieving the ultimate goal of love and self-acceptance by radical self-negation and negation of the other.

This essay deals with the intertextuality of the 21st century novel Zaira by the Swiss-Romanian writer Cătălin Dorian Florescu and the 21th century tragedy Zaire by Voltaire. It is analysed whether the name of the female protagonist Zaira is used by Florescu by accident or whether he refers to Voltaire. Furthermore, the differences between East and West brought up in the novel and the tragedy are examined. There are some similarities to be found as to the topoi of the selling respectively buying of women or fate deciding about the life of the protagonists. However, in the author’s opinion they don`t justify the assumption that Florescu knows the text by Voltaire or even uses it in his own novel.
