Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 1991. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to point out and elaborate the affinities, culturally as well as
textually, between the two Italian authors, Italo Svevo and Carlo Michelstaedter.
Furthermore, it is the object of this study to demonstrate how, implicitly, the two authors
provide an answer, each in his own way, to the question of "una vita degna di essere vissuta"
- "a life worthy of being lived". The central theme in this regard concerns the distinctive
notions that each author has in respect of 'Ihealth" and "disease", and "life" and "death", as
well as how these notions correspond to the implicit search in their respective writings for
"perfection", "authenticity" and "liberty". / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het ten doel am die kulturele en tekstuele affiniteite tussen die lwee

opvattings betreffende die implisiete soeke ten opsigte van "volmaaktheid", "outentisiteit"
en ''vryheid" in hul onderskeidelike tekste korrespondeer.
