【 摘 要 】

The article considers the question of narrative unity of «canonical» classic autobiography of Austrian literature of the 20th century. T. Bernhard presented tales «An Indication of the Cause» (Die Ursache: Eine Andeutung, 1975), «The Cellar» (Der Keller: Eine Entziehung, 1976), «The Breath» (Der Atem: Eine Entscheidung 1978), «The Cold» (Die K lte: Eine Isolation, 1981) and «A Child» (Ein Kind, 1982). Fictional autobiography is nonuniqueness in narrative terms. The manner of narration in the novel «A Child», dedicated to early childhood of the writer, is significantly different from the manner of the narrative of the first four novels based on the events of his youth. The first four novels of the pentolog share a common plot scheme and the availability of copyright of meta comment where in rhetorical manner the author talks about the truth and falsehood in an autobiographical narrative. The fifth story does not fit the scheme of the plot of the first four, is devoid of metanarrative level. Reflection of the author of the autobiographical narrative moves to plot level (a fictional episode of the bike ride, for which can be traced several references), change the nature of the characters and the narrative style: the story of his own life events conducted in more direct manner, different from the stylized narrative of the first stories.
