In his novel How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone, the author Saša Stanišić shows the complex relationship of the narrator (Aleksandar) to his native Bosnia and Herzegovina on the one hand and Germany on the other hand, which becomes (because of the Civil War in Bosnia and Herzegovina) the new random home of Aleksandar’s family. The resulting problems such as loss of home, integration, construction and reconstruction of „auto-image“ and „hetero-image“ are treated from a unique perspective - of a growing child. In this work, using the example of the novel How the Soldier Repairs the Gramophone will be examine, what specific child perspective as a narrator in the construction of „auto-image“ and „hetero-image“ and what is a difference in a perspective between the child and the adult narrator.
