N2  - A closer look at the literary works, essays, letters and diaries of important German exile writers and anti-Nazi dissidents during National Socialism leads to an important observation: that is the increase of references to classical topoi of the Barbarian. Since at least 1933 and the traumatic Nazi book burnings, in German (exile) literature does not only occur a political actualization but also an emphatical radicalization of the reactivated dichotomies of 'civilization/culture' vs. 'the Barbarian' and sometimes more specific of 'the Hellenes' vs. 'the Persians'. Even though numerous literary texts display these dichotomies, in literary criticism a systematic analysis of their semantic implications and their function is still lacking. This study thus aims to present a first overview and interpretation of this noticeable actualization of the above mentioned topoi in German exile literature, particularly in the works of Klaus Mann.
