Abstract

In the shadow of the conflict that devastated the Balkans during the nineties, the Czech born Swiss writer Erica Pedretti made an essential review of the events that forged the destiny of the German population in the provinces of Moravia and Bohemia after the Second World War, joining the debate on the problem of materialising memory as image in the written text. Returning to the past and the dialogue between memory and its image in the present are recurring themes in Pedretti’s narrative, although Engste Heimat is an especially significant example, both for the moment in history when the novel was written and for its interesting narrative structure.
