Summary:
The present dissertation examines two novels addressing the adolescence, George Theotokas’ “Leonis” and I.M. Panagiotopoulos’ “Astrofeggia”. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze to what extent historical circumstances and love can have an impact on the adolescent heroes’ formation of personality and, hence, to what extent they can make up their adult identity.
In the first place, a theoretical approach is attempted as regards Bildungsroman as the new type of novel in Europe, while at the same time, definitions, characteristics, judgments and opinions are relatively provided. Accordingly, an effort of locating elements of Bildungsroman novel typeis made with regard to the New Greek Prose and concomitantly the other two under analysis novels. The Bildungsroman’s core element and the other two novels’ common denominator lie in their strong auto-biographic character. On this ground, an extensive reference to these two distinguished authors’ life and work is made, in combination with the influences with which both of them were imbued.
From a historical perspective, both under analysis novels considered as spawns of the Inter-War Period Prose reflect the concerns and leave the hallmark of those turbulent years at either historical or social level. The adolescent heroes, Leonis and Angelos Giannouzis, experience historical facts intensively and share their generation’s anguish, while at the same time their personal destiny interconnects with that of community’s, an occurrence which, in essence, determines their personality.
As concerns the impact of the element of love, both adolescents fall in love with passion but without receiving any response. This experience leads them to a certain kind of idealization of the womanliness-object of desire, creating an ambient atmosphere which deeply influences the transition process from adolescence to adulthood.
