Course objectives
The course offers insights into various forms of literature for young adult readers. It deals with the concept of young adult literature (fiction) on a  theoretical level, but at the same time the dominant part of the semester will be focused on analyses, interpretations and also other (e.g. didactic) use of this type of literature.
