Gang Member in 1993 generated a huge amount of excitement in literary circles--New York Times book critic Michiko Kakutani deemed it a -shocking and galvanic book---and set off a new publishing trend of gang memoirs in the 1990s.

El Arte Epistolar En El Renacimiento Español
ISBN: 9781855660359 / Hiszpański / Twarda / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The author goes on to look at two important collections of letters, Fray Antonio de Guevara's Epistolas familiares and St Teresa's Epistolario, showing the vital...

Exile and Nomadism in French and Hispanic Women's Writing
ISBN: 9781907975943 / Angielski / Twarda / 179 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Women in exile disrupt assumptions about exile, belonging, home and identity.

Exile may be a propitious circumstance for women to renegotiate identities far from the strictures of home, appropriating a new freedom in mobility. Through a feminist politics of place, displacement and subjectivity, this comparative study analyses the novels of key contemporary Francophone and Latin American writers Nancy Huston,...
