\kur{Gaming Instinct} by Juli Zeh: Beyond the Values
DUSILOVÁ, Tereza
The aim of this thesis is to deal with the motive of the decay of moral values in the novel \kur{Spieltrieb}/ \kur{Gaming Instinct} by the German author Juli Zeh. Its focus is to compare this work with the novels of the early 20th century Austrian writer, Robert Musil, namely \kur{Die Verwirrungen des Zöglings Törleß}/ \kur{The Confusions of Young Torless} and \kur{Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften}/ \kur{The Man Without Qualities}. The formal as well as ideological analogy between Zeh?s and Musil?s works is justified by Zeh?s study of literary writing at The German Creative Writing Program Leipzig.
