The book "Deutschstunde(n)" by Heiko Hausendorf examines the readability of literature using examples, including a detailed description of a desk from Georges Perec's work "Still life/style leaf". Hausendorf shows how one can work with a seemingly cumbersome and reader-unfriendly text from a linguistic perspective. He emphasizes the importance of perception and criticizes the preference for narratives over descriptions in literature. The book also includes author names and work titles listed in chapters 3-6, including Georges Perec, Henrik Ibsen, Peter Handke, Thomas Bernhard, and Goethe. The book "Deutschstunde(n). Linguistic analyses of literary texts" by Hausendorf deals with the connection between German lessons, literature, and linguistics. It consists of a preface, a transitional chapter, and a main part. The author describes his experiences in German lessons and emphasizes the importance of a careful linguistic approach to texts. The book aims to encourage students to read more literature and conduct analyses. It includes examples and instructions for analyzing linguistic phenomena in literary texts.
