ISBN: 9780816527144 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

But rather than a cohesive, homogeneous group, these conversations unveiled a kaleidoscope of...

Colonial Tropes and Postcolonial Tricks: Rewriting the Tropics in the Novela de la Selva
ISBN: 9781846311956 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book offers a new reading of the genre by arguing that, far from being derivative, the novela de la selva re-imagined the tropics from a Latin American perspective, redefining tropical landscape aesthetics and ethnography through parodic rewritings of European perceptions of Amazonia in fictional and factual travel writing. With particular...
