Abstract

Kourouma’s Les soleils des indépendances and Büchner/Weidig’s Der Hessische Landbote differ in terms of genre, cultural context, and historical time, but their contents allow for interesting comparisons: The authors of both books side with the people, with the oppressed, against those in power, namely the oppressors in the Ivory Coast and Hessian societies. They do so in a rather direct and harsh language that includes general abuses and personal insults.
