Abstract

Hungarian literary images of East Germans from the 1970s & early 1980s were as nonthreatening, fellow socialists, even though Hungarian fears of German aggressiveness had been justified in the past, or as obtuse & humorless. Ambivalent literary images from this period could actually be due to the German orientation of the writers. Despite the prevalence of English in the 1990s in Hungarian literature, some of the most influential writers, eg, Peter Esterhazy & Peter Nadas, still have a German orientation, which translates into their literary themes & alters perceptions about Germans & Germanness already present in the Hungarian culture. Their more important works & Germanic themes are summarized here. Their German orientation reflects a turn away from the US & former Soviet superpowers & toward a Europe in which Germany is the central influence. M. Pflum
