Evidence-based book, Elfriede Jelinek "Excluded" is an excellent study of Austria's late fifties. Her heroes are eighteen Rainer grammar school students, Anna and Sophie and Hans dwudziestokilkulatek. They come from very different backgrounds. Gemini Rainer and Anna Witkowski is downgraded townspeople, children teacher and former member of SS. Sophie comes from upper-middle class, her father is a powerful businessman, whose fortune is still growing. Hans is a worker while in the energy industry and comes from a poor family of the proletarian socialist activists. His father died at the Steps of Death in the concentration camp at Mauthausen, and his mother barely make ends meet. Children do not want to hear about the political uwikĊaniach parents, because it fills a revolt against society. They give an expression in acts of violence nieumotywowanej, what people talk so much in the books of their favorite existentialist.
description of one of these acts and Jelinek's novel begins. The thing that immediately strikes the eye, is a distinctive, sharp like a scalpel, and the equally precise language, with which the writer makes a vivisection of the living tissue of post-war reality of his country. With this treatment the disease is becoming glaringly apparent. Who in fact represent the "innocent victim" under the leadership of an aggressive four Rainer smart? Well, "At that time the world is even more innocent offenders. Full of memories of war, throw the audience-friendly glances above the parapet adorned with flowers, waving his hand or hold high office. Finally, everything you need to forgive and discarded from the memory to be able to start again. " Such people include the father of Anna and Rainer, a former Nazi, who "forgave the story." Mr. Witkowski is a poor living conditions, particularly as the war made him an invalid. Nevertheless, it maintains an optimistic approach to the world and not even think to displace the memories of mass murder. Not being able to make more of them, cruelly mistreats his wife. Beats and humiliates her sexually, and then doing "artistic photographs, commemorating these" victories ".
former war criminal in times of peace, world raving about the great capital, which - apart from hatred of the Communists - it's not connecting. Few people can just as bluntly as Jelinek capture the phenomenon of people identify themselves with the power, giving them the opportunity to cheer only stronger. Here's how he writes about it, "money makes the world, he thinks the disabled, has no money and therefore, in accordance with this principle, not rules, but as you know it, money alone can govern. " So "Mr. Witkowski is a follower of the capital, which does not have," but who "used to protect himself." And "now again fully capital rule and expresses its gratitude to him personally." A manifestation of gratitude - and more specifically, the interest - was the omission of denazification, the disadvantage of the "social peace", ie the expansion of large enterprises. In these circumstances "Good old Nazis again, may come to light, as the flowers in his brown skrzyneczkach."
