Möglichkeiten und Probleme einer Literaturverfilmung

The academic book "Possibilities and Problems of Literary Adaptation" by Christina Caelers offers an in-depth analysis of the challenges and opportunities associated with adapting literary works into film formats. Using Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1974 film adaptation of Theodor Fontane's "Effi Briest" as a case study, it examines how literary content can be translated into the medium of film. The author highlights both the creative and technical aspects of literary adaptation and discusses the specific problems that may arise during the process. This book is aimed at students and professionals in linguistics and language studies, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of literature and film. It provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between text and image and encourages reflection on the possibilities of artistic interpretation.
