https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2013-2-770

Abstract

The article considers the ways of achieving a documentary effect in the novel «Der Tunnel» by German writer B. Kellermann. It' s stated that the novel in many respects anticipates the aesthetics of the «Neue Sachlichkeit» movement. The combination of the documentary discourse and genres of fantasy and utopia led Kellermann to a special place in German literature of the first half of the twentieth century. The article discusses the hypothesis of the "pseudo-documentary" strategy in Kellerman's novel.
