The Colombian Political Novel 1951-1987: A Critical Contribution
ISBN: 9783034319782 / Angielski / Miękka / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the environment and cultural context of Colombian political novels published between 1951 and 1987. Challenging the label of -novelas de la violencia-, the author analyses them as products of their own historical time and takes into account their broader implications, such as their representation of the society they narrate. These novels are shown to be the product of political and ideological issues: the real preoccupations of the writers were the balance of power, social dysfunctionality and the need for reform in a society transitioning from rural to urban. These issues...
