This book is intended to capture the interest of anyone who has been attracted to Russian culture through the greats of Russian literature, either through the texts themselves, or encountering them in the cinema, or opera.
Based on the text of Margaret Drabble's 1995 edition, this sixth edition has been completely reworked and expanded. There are nearly 600 entirely new entries to reflect the new figures and issues of English Literature in the new millennium, and the existing entries have been extensively revised and updated to incorporate the latest scholarship. But this new edition remains faithful to Sir Paul Harvey's original vision of an authoritative work placing English literature from the Classical world, Europe, Latin America, and beyond. In addition to the extensive coverage of writers, works, literary theory, allusions, and characters, there are sixteen featured essay-style entries on key topics.
Maus : A Survivor's Tale : My Father Bleeds History/Here My Troubles Began
Art Spiegelman's "Maus: A Survivor's Tale" is a unique and
unforgettable work of literature. This two-volume set of book-length
comics (or "graphic novels," if you prefer) tells the story of the
narrator, Artie, and his father Vladek, a Holocaust survivor. "Maus" is
thus an important example of both Holocaust literature and of the
graphic novel. The two volumes of "Maus" are subtitled "My Father
Bleeds History" and "And Here My Troubles Began"; they should be read
together to get the biggest impact.
Opportunities is five-level course written specifically for upper-secondary students. Rich content with topics such as science, literature, history and culture give the course a strong educational and international feel
An Outline Of American State Literature by Elsie Dershem
(Rare Book Collection)
This volume is the first book to treat of the literature of the different states. Nearly all of the states have authors who have written books about their state literature and as the wealth of the material and the number of authors in the state increase, so will the interest in local and state literature tend to increase. No author has been given a residence in a state unless he has been placed there by some state authority. The overlappage of states has been a difficult question. A representative work of each author has been named, insofar as it has been possible.
