Description The paper discusses the difference between two earlier national novels from the inner-Bohemia Czech-German ethnic border (German: Mauthner - Der letzte Deutsche von Blatna, and Czech: Rais - O ztraceném ševci) and two later ones from the 1930s (German: Rothacker - Das Dorf an der Grenze, and Czech: Koudelák - Hraničáři).
