Abstract

In her novel "The Blind Side of the Heart", published in 2007, Julia Franck establishes a link between a painful historical past and the burden of individual trauma. Her protagonists are distraught people with precarious family past who do not act according to their political or ideological beliefs, but nevertheless fall into the predicament of politics and ideology. While big historic events remain in the background, Franck focuses on the question how people live their everyday lives. Franck's concept of history is therefore closely affiliated with Carlo Ginzburg's notion of microhistory.
