- English abstract
- Faced with the challenges of exile, Klaus Mann was looking for new narrative strategies to formulate his literary responses to the issues of his time. He geared his works more strongly to direct, sometimes polemical effect. This study examines the forms and functions of satire in Mann's political exile work and its relationship to his concept of humanism. The analysis shows that the dehumanisation of the time for Mann does not take place in National Socialism per se, but in the failure of intellectuals to have sufficiently defended the humanist worldview against their opponents.
