Book Synopsis Reading the Modern European Novel since 1900 by : Daniel R. Schwarz
Download or read book Reading the Modern European Novel since 1900 written by Daniel R. Schwarz and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the modern European novel from a renowned English literature scholar Reading the Modern European Novel since 1900 is an engaging, in-depth examination of the evolution of the modern European novel. Written in Daniel R. Schwarz's precise and highly readable style, this critical study offers compelling discussions on a wide range of major works since 1900 and examines recurring themes within the context of significant historical events, including both World Wars and the Holocaust. The author cites important developments in the evolution of the modern novel and explores how these paradigmatic works of fiction reflect intellectual and cultural history, including developments in painting and cinema. Schwarz focuses on narrative complexity, thematic subtlety, and formal originality as well as how novels render historical events and cultural developments Discussing major works by Proust, Camus, Mann, Kafka, Grass, di Lampedusa, Bassani, Kertesz, Pamuk, Kundera, Saramago, Muller and Ferrante, Schwarz explores how these often experimental masterworks pay homage to the their major predecessors—discussed in Schwarz's ground-breaking Reading the European Novel to 1900—even while proposing radical departures from realism in their approach to time and space, their testing the limits of language, and their innovative ways of rendering the human psyche. Written for teachers and students by a highly-acclaimed scholar and including valuable study questions, Reading the Modern European Novel since 1900 offers a guide for a deeper understanding of how these original modern masters respond to both the past and present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MORE than commonly interesting addition to the rapidly growing company of books around and about the novel is Mr. Follett's study of "The Modern Novel." One fault in these books as a class is a certain over-ingenuity, a restless desire to "score" for the novel or for the critic's special theory. That fault was not absent from Mr. and Mrs. Follett's recent volume of "appreciations and estimates." In "Some Modern Novelists" the coauthors showed themselves sensitive to aspects of story-telling, both human and technical, which neither academic nor popular criticism has made much of. But they also showed themselves rather in bondage to a preconceived theory of the modern novel. Their view of it as interpreter of the modern "sense of continuity -call it 'living in the whole, ' the social conscience, or simply the will to brotherhood" resulted in the assembling of strange bedfellows in their critical caravanserai. The sub-title of the present book, with its "purpose and meaning of fiction," has a slightly menacing air for the gun-shy. But Mr. Follett honestly intends to serve as disinterested guide and commentator upon a journey of importance to modern readers. What if he carries his own torch and compass, and even a weapon of private dogma bulging visibly somewhere about his person? It is plain that he means to use them solely for our benefit and protection. And he gives us fair enough warning that if we are only out for an airing in the region of the novel, we may not join his party. For a fiction without purpose or meaning would be a fiction without interest for this observer. He looks upon the novel as a form of art vitally related to modern life. This relation he defines with caution: "The universality of our interest in fiction does not prove that fiction has any inherent right to the space it occupies in our libraries or our lives; but it does prove that we have given fiction a sort of pragmatic claim on us by giving so much of ourselves to it. . The question is not, What must be our attitude towards the art of fiction'! It is rather, What must fiction have done to us before it becomes deserving of our consideration as an art?..." -The Nation, Vol. 108

Book excerpt: Named one of 2021’s Best Beach Reads by Bustle ∙ Country Living ∙ Cosmopolitan ∙ Augusta Chronicle ∙ E! Online ∙ PureWow ∙ SheReads ∙ and more! Breakups, like book clubs, come in many shapes and sizes and can take us on unexpected journeys as four women discover in this funny and heartwarming exploration of friendship from the USA Today bestselling author of Ten Beach Road and My Ex-Best Friend’s Wedding. On paper, Jazmine, Judith, Erin and Sara have little in common – they’re very different people leading very different lives. And yet at book club meetings in an historic carriage house turned bookstore, they bond over a shared love of reading (and more than a little wine) as well as the growing realization that their lives are not turning out like they expected. Former tennis star Jazmine is a top sports agent balancing a career and single motherhood. Judith is an empty nester questioning her marriage and the supporting role she chose. Erin’s high school sweetheart and fiancé develops a bad case of cold feet, and Sara’s husband takes a job out of town saddling Sara with a difficult mother-in-law who believes her son could have done better – not exactly the roommate most women dream of. With the help of books, laughter, and the joy of ever evolving friendships, Jazmine, Judith, Erin and Sara find the courage to navigate new and surprising chapters of their lives as they seek their own versions of happily-ever-after.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whenever we read, think, hear or say anything about God, we are doing theology. Yet theology isn't just a matter of what we think. It affects who we are. In the tradition of Helmut Thielicke's A Little Exercise for Young Theologians, Kelly Kapic offers a concise introduction to the study of theology for newcomers to the field. He highlights the value and importance of theological study and explains its unique nature as a serious discipline. Not only concerned with content and method, Kapic explores the skills, attitudes and spiritual practices needed by those who take up the discipline. This brief, clear and lively primer draws out the relevance of theology for Christian life, worship, mission, witness and more. "Theology is about life," writes Kapic. "It is not a conversation our souls can afford to avoid."

Book Synopsis Travels of a Genre by : Mary N. Layoun
Download or read book Travels of a Genre written by Mary N. Layoun and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the modern Western novel is linked to the rise of a literate bourgeoisie with particular social values and narrative expectations, to what extent can that history of the novel be anticipated in non-Western contexts? In this bold, insightful work Mary Layoun investigates the development of literary practice in the Greek, Arabic, and Japanese cultures, which initially considered the novel a foreign genre, a cultural accoutrement of "Western" influence. Offering a textual and contextual analysis of six novels representing early twentieth-century and contemporary literary fiction in these cultures, Layoun illuminates the networks of power in which genre migration and its interpretations have been implicated. She also examines the social and cultural practice of constructing and maintaining narratives, not only within books but outside of them as well. In each of the three cultural traditions, the literary debates surrounding the adoption and adaption of the modern novel focus on problematic formulations of the "modern" versus the "traditional," the "Western" and "foreign" versus the "indigenous," and notions of the modern bourgeois subject versus the precapitalist or precolonial subject. Layoun textually situates and analyzes these formulations in the early twentieth-century novels of Alexandros Papadiamandis (Greece), Yahya Haqqi (Egypt), and Natsume Soseki (Japan) and in the contemporary novels of Dimitris Hatzis (Greece), Ghassan Kanafani (Palestine), and Oe Kenzaburo (Japan). Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
