Striking toward peace and harmony the human being is ceasely torn apart in personal, social, national life by wars, feuds, inequities and intimate personal conflicts for which there seems to be no respite. Does the human condition in interaction with others imply a constant adversity? Or, is this conflict owing to an interior or external factor of evil governing our attitudes and conduct toward the other person? To what criteria should I refer for appreciation, judgment, direction concerning my attitudes and my actions as they bear on the well-being of others? At the roots of these questions lies human experience which ought to be appropriately clarified before entering into speculative abstractions of the ethical theories and precepts. Literature, which in its very gist, dwells upon disentangling in multiple perspective the peripeteia of our life-experience offers us a unique field of source-material for moral and ethical investigations. Literature brings preeminently to light the Moral Sentiment which pervades our life with others -- our existence tout court. Being modulated through the course of our experiences the Moral Sentiment sustains the very sense of literature and of personal human life (Tymieniecka).

While Plato recommended expelling poets from the ideal society, W. H. Auden famously declared that poetry makes nothing happen. The 19 contributions to the present book avoid such polarized views and, responding in different ways to the “ethical turn” in narrative theory, explore the varied ways in which narratives encourage readers to ponder matters of right and wrong. All work from the premise that the analysis of narrative ethics needs to be linked to a sensitivity to esthetic (narrative) form. The ethical issues are accordingly located on different levels. Some are clearly presented as thematic concerns within the text(s) considered, while others emerge through (or are generated by) the presentation of character and event by means of particular narrative techniques. The objects of analysis include such well-known or canonical texts as Biblical Old Testament stories, Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn , J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings , Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita , Jonathan Littell’s The Kindly Ones , Ann Radcliffe’s The Italian and Matthew Lewis’s The Monk . Others concentrate on less-well-known texts written in languages other than English. There are also contributions that investigate theoretical issues in relation to a range of different examples.

Literarische Texte hinterfragen nicht nur die Souveränität moralischen Handelns, sondern auch die Souverä-nität von Sprachhandlungen. Kultur und Kulturwissenschaften haben in jüngster Zeit ein erneutes Interesse an literarisch-ästhetischen Reflexionen ethischen Denkens und Handelns bekundet. Fast ließe sich von einem „ethical turn“ sprechen. Der Band Narration und Ethik fragt nach dem jeweils historischen und kulturellen Stellenwert solcher Reflexionen, nach der Kasuistik von Handlungen und deren Valorisierung in der europäi-schen, außereuropäischen Literatur und in der Philosophie. Einzelne Fall-studien stellen unter Beweis, dass literarische Erzählungen und Erzähl-strukturen normativen Vorgaben nicht einfach folgen, sondern dass sie viel-mehr das Konfliktpotential möglicher Handlungsweisen zur Diskussion stel-len, Handlungsentwürfe modellieren oder gar suspendieren.

Las contribuciones de este libro resaltan la dimensión ética, en cuanto parte integrante de contextos culturales concretos, en escritos literarios que tematizan acontecimientos centrales del siglo XX. El volumen abre así un debate sobre el tema "Ética y literatura" a través de estudios de textos concretos. La hipótesis principal es que los dilemas morales y los problemas éticos revelan la condición de la literatura en cuanto campo de experimentación imaginario de posibles actuaciones.
