Europe on the border: rational and irrational visions of Europe in the narrative of 20th Century

Abstract

This study sets up a European perspective though the novel, as the most appropriate gender to show us the realities of a continent which has ranged on the one hand, from rationality to violence. For this purpose we have chosen different literary motives which are related to the theme of Europe: the intellectual, the war, daily violence or the dystopian views about the evolution of a continent, articulated here to show a multiple prism of our past (20th Century) and our present. A corpus taken from the French, English, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian literature allows us to trace these lines which result in a plural Europe, but with a past, a present and a future shared both in the reality and in the literary fiction.
