Aspects of Nature in Imaging the City by the Example of Breslau/Wroclaw in Polish and German Prose During World War II and After

Kamila Augustyn

Abstract

This article is an attempt to determine whether nature was an important component of the presented world for the novelists and chroniclers of Wroclaw. It primarily examines how the literary and non-literary image of the city has evolved over 70 years and shows the changes in the awareness and attitudes of its citizens towards the environment in different historical periods: in the days of the Weimar Republic, in the Third Reich, during the siege of Fortress Breslau, during the post-war reconstruction, in the sixties and the eighties, after the socio-political transformation, during the floods in 1997, and in the past few years until 2015.
