Zur Rezeption von Franz Kafka und Samuel Beckett in Rumänien

Receptarea lui Franz Kafka şi a lui Samuel Beckett în România Abstract Teoria receptării a înregistrat în ultimii ani o dezvoltare impresionantă, astfel încăt s-au putut trasa linii generale de descriere a unei direcţii de receptare în conformitate cu anumite tipologii estetice care marchează receptarea literară la nivel de receptor cult şi instruit.

Die Lösung lautet: Alfred Hitchcock Der Brite Alfred Hitchcock lernte die Region 1939 während der Verfilmung von Daphne du Mauriers "Rebecca" in Monterey County kennen. Offensichtlich war er sehr angetan, denn er kaufte noch im folgenden Jahr ein Anwesen in Scotts Valley, wo er bis 1972 lebte. Neben Rebecca drehte er in der Folgezeit unter anderem "Verdacht", "Im Schatten des Zweifels", "Vertigo", "Die Vögel", "Marnie" und "Familiengrab" ganz oder teilweise in San Francisco und den umliegenden Orten.
