Keywords: literature in culture; Dürrenmatt; code switching; film technique;
Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the importance of literature in culture. First of all, literature preserves the culture of a nation, and the task of the writer is to make it transparent as Durrenmatt suggested in Promise. Furthermore, literature is also turned into films and rewritten in scripts, even code-switching is applied. Past events are described grammatically in literature, whereas films show the storyline in present, intertwined with dialogues referring to the past. Results of child psychology are also discussed in the paper regarding emotional expressions. The conclusion raises the question whether Malraux or Hemingway owes anything to the art of film technique.
