Zu einem Zentralmotiv des böhmisch-jüdischen Schriftstellers (1822-1886)
von Ingrid Steiger-SchumannKompert’s narratives offer rich depictions of Jewish life in the ghettos of Bohemia. A hallmark is their portrayal of the complexities of intercultural love relationships. The novel Zwischen Ruinen (1875) depicts a successful inter-religious marital relationship made possible by the recent introduction of civil marriage. It illustrates Kompert’s dream of becoming acculturated to mainstream Christian society while preserving Jewish identity.
