Reseña del libro

The book focuses on the short prose works by the Jewish writer Ernst Weiss (1882-1940) by typologising this specific section of the novelist´s production, defining its themes and in six interpretive sketches drawing out a type of narration which is classified as parabolic. The study explicates Weiss´ position on the problem of existence and knowledge, defines the concept of the parabolic conception of narration and demonstrates the narrative features of this conception.
