The desert for conclusion -- $tReferences 330 $aLandscape, as it appears and is described throughout the works of Bernardo Carvalho and Robert Walser, provides an excellent-yet virtually unexplored-pathway to the authors' literary projects. The landscape functions here as a synthetic and unifying figure that triggers, at first, through the analysis of its description per se, the main and most evident elements of the authors' works. However, when sustained as a methodological figure beyond the scope of its own description, the landscape soon reveals a darker, far more fascinating and far less explored side of the authors' oeuvres: a vengeful, seemingly defeatist resentment against the status quo, which gives way to the more latent and biting elements of the authors' prose, such as irony, the unheimlich, an anti-heroic agenda, the apocalyptic aesthetics of a disaster-prone fictional world, as well as an understanding of history and literature through the figures of failure and marginality. By drawing from diverse critical traditions from Latin-America and Europe, this comparative text seeks to unravel, in all of its complexity and scope, the fictional stage upon which Walser's and Carvalho's characters narrate, with their dying breath, a world that is slowly undoing itself. 410 0$aLatin American literatures in the world ;$vVolume 2. 606 $a20th-century Realism 606 $aAnti-heroes 606 $aAntihelden 606 $aLandscape 606 $aLandschaft 606 $aRealismus 606 $aRomanticism 606 $aRomantik 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Spanish & Portuguese$2bisacsh 610 $a20th-century Realism. 610 $aAnti-heroes. 610 $aLandscape. 610 $aRomanticism. 615 4$a20th-century Realism. 615 4$aAnti-heroes. 615 4$aAntihelden. 615 4$aLandscape. 615 4$aLandschaft. 615 4$aRealismus. 615 4$aRomanticism. 615 4$aRomantik. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / Spanish & Portuguese. 676 $a869.342 700 $aYurgel$b Caio, $0974288 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910309740003321 996 $aLandscape's Revenge$92218117 997 $aUNINA
