This article deals with the relationship between home and foreign countries using the novel A Mouth Full of Earth by the successful German-Jewish writer Stefanie Zweig. It attempts to grasp the complexity of the construction of home and foreign countries. The analysis focuses on literary descriptive practices, forms, and media, whereby the various concepts of home are encoded in the author's narrative text, which is strongly autobiographically colored. In the following, the concept of home will be examined specifically in the case of the characters father and daughter, since both appear in the novel not only as main characters but also as counter-characters, and thus each has his or her own image of the concept of home. I mainly pursue the following questions: What does home represent for the daughter figure and what does home signify for the father figure? What are the backgrounds for these differences in the perception of home?
