De la Budapest sitiada al Montevideo bajo dictadura: representaciones del miedo en una selección de cuentos de Tibor Déry y Hugo Burel
From Budapest under siege to Montevideo under dictatorship: representations of fear in a selection of short stories by Tibor Déry and Hugo Burel

Summary/Abstract: The present study analyzes the ways in which feelings such as distresses, fear and hopelessness are represented in short novels, where extreme conditions of survival are imposed on the main characters. The paper focuses on the work of two writers: Hugo Burel (Montevideo, 1951), who pertains to a geo-social and cultural context strongly affected by the experience of repression during the dictatorship (1973-1985), and Tibor Déry (Budapest, 1894-1977), who comes from Hungary, one of the Eastern European nations that suffered major human and material devastation during the Second World War.
