Through an analysis of \u003ci\u003eDie grössere Hoffnung\u003c\/i\u003e and other texts, this monograph sets out to explore their significance within Aichinger's world-view, and the implications of this for her writing. The key to these questions lies in Aichinger's interpretation of Matthew 18:3: 'Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.' For Aichinger, this is 'vielleicht das härteste Gebot der Bibel' (\u003ci\u003eKleist, Moos, Fasane\u003c\/i\u003e), because she equates becoming 'as little children' with 'die Ergebung in das  ...!, woran wir nichts können' (\u003ci\u003eKleist, Moos, Fasane\u003c\/i\u003e). The helpless child is a metaphor for humanity, and the 'Spiel' (game, play) of the child is a celebration of life in the face of death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catharine Purdie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 363133544X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631335444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Catharine Purdie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486960988415,"sku":"9783631335444","price":68.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c5d5f3e5-5d8b-405b-a925-e6705045dc42.jpg?v=1778057418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wenn-ihr-nicht-werdet-wie-catharine-purdie-9783631335444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
