Book Description
Caterina Albert i Paradis (1869-1966) began her career with a scandal. Her dramatic monologue "The Infanticide," delivered by a young woman, won prizes and garnered the attention of the Catalan literary world, but its harsh theme drew outrage when the anonymous author was revealed to be a woman. In the tradition of George Eliot, George Sand, and other controversial women authors, Albert had assumed a man's name, Víctor Catala. She continued to write unflinching narratives, mostly in Catalan, of the people and life around her, producing a body of work still enlisted today to help the Catalan language resist the dominance of Peninsular Spanish. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer (1850-1919): Her Personal Letters, Short Stories, and Journalism
Author: Ana Isabel Simón Alegre
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1648897568
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer (Alcañiz, 1850-Buenos Aires, 1919) was a Spanish journalist, newspaper editor, and author, who dedicated her life to the world of letters. She was also an intrepid international traveler at a time when it was not easy to cross the Atlantic. As a transatlantic author, she wrote novels, short stories, essays, opinion pieces, social commentary, and theater reviews. This book explores how Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer’s evolution as a writer was closely linked to the development of her political-literary project, in which a feminist activist agenda plays an important role. This critical edition contributes to existing research on Gimeno de Flaquer by examining a collection of texts that have not been studied in-depth. This monograph-length publication is the first one to feature a translation of significant portions of Gimeno de Flaquer’s work. 'Concepción Gimeno de Flaquer (1850-1919): Her Personal Letters, Short Stories, and Journalism' includes ten letters that Concepción Gimeno wrote to the Spanish actor and theatre entrepreneur Manuel Catalina y Rodríguez (1820-1886), seven short stories, and a selection of her seventeen most representative newspaper articles.

Spanish Women Authors of Serial Crime Fiction
Author: Inmaculada Pertusa-Seva
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527559963
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
With its focus on recent detective series featuring female investigators, this collection analyzes the authors’ treatment of current social, political and economic problems in Spain and beyond, in addition to exploring interrelations between gender, globalization, the environment and technology. The contributions here reveal the varied ways in which the use of a series allows for a deeper consideration of such issues, in addition to permitting the more extensive development of the protagonist investigator and her reactions to, and methods of, dealing with personal and professional challenges of the twenty-first century. In these stories, the authors employ strategies that break with long-standing conventions, developing crime fiction in unexpected ways, incorporating elements of science fiction, the supernatural, and the historical novel, as well as varied geographical settings (small towns, provincial cities, and rural communities) beyond the urban environment, all of which contributes to the reinvigoration of the genre.

Hurakan & Other Short Stories
Author: Boitumelo Moroka
Publisher: Partridge Africa
ISBN: 1482804859
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The writing is rich with perceptive metaphors, making startling connections between the human condition and the universe. All the stories, long or short, are well told, well informed and observed. The stories are engaging - the narratives driven by an inventive style of writing, which keeps the reader alert. The characters, many of them lost souls, are also intri-guing with their disillusioned cynicism, yet they never quite snuff out their kernel of humanity. In the ambiguous endings, there is always a smidgeon of hope for spiritual reawakening. Often their human self-expression emerges from lessons through suffering, through art, even surviving somehow in the wake of unremitting de-struction and metamorphosis centuries hence.
