Abstract

[Machine translation] After the Second World War, after a decade of destruction, Europe was a continent to be rebuilt on a physical, urban and intellectual level. Just like today. Mimemis by Erich Auerbach is the most in-depth examination of European civilization, through its literature and culture. The comparative analysis came in 1946 at the hands of those (Auerbach), in previous years, who left the continent and found themselves in exile close to the disaster: in other words, in Istanbul, a window on chaos, the realization of the oscillation between ancient and modern, between East and West. Just as Auerbach, fleeing Europe, then composed Mimesis, today we should find, as then, the desire to 'rebuild'.
