A Parable of Humanity - Character and Landscape Construction in Jim Crace's Signals of Distress

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Jim Crace is a remarkable contemporary British novelist in the realistic tradition, who deliberately avoids postmodernist experimentation or playfulness. The power of his writing rests in the combination of distinctive main protagonists and the sense ofconstructing unique fictional topographies. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that his novel Signals of Distress (1994) can be read as both a counterpart and a sequel to its more famous predecessor, Arcadia (1992), as it also explores, through the form of the satirical parable, the position of an individual in the process of a community's transition due to larger historical, social and economic circumstances.
