Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - AN ANTHOLOGY OF CONTEMPORARY VIETNAMESE ANIMAL FICTION THAT EXPLORES THE CONTESTED SPACE BETWEEN HUMANS AND ANIMALS This volume consists of a critical introduction and translations of nine short stories on animals by prominent Vietnamese writers from the French colonial period (1885-1945) to the present-day. Specifically, since the inception of ecocritical awareness in Vietnam from the start of the 21st Century, there has been an intellectual movement that has explored and recovered Vietnamese environmental, animal and climate crisis stories since medieval times. These are valued as voices that challenge and counter mainstream socialist ideology that overlooks the survival and lives of marginalized beings, including ethnic minorities and non-human nature. The authors have carefully selected the best animal stories that have been identified as the most influential in Vietnamese literature, which are deserving of global recognition. They have been chosen from various short story collections and literary textbooks-- prescribed in schools and colleges-- in Vietnam.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a comparative study of four novels respectively of Raja Rao and R.K. Narayan. Sourcing original works in Sanskrit and Tamil, this study attempts to tease out the similarities in themes and the common concern with traditional Hindu motifs and patterns that underlie these narratives, to reveal these authors' engagement with various aspects of Hinduism, from the 'ontological quest' at its centre to the more contentious caste system. The novels examined are Raja Rao's Kanthapura, The Serpent and the Rope, The Cat and Shakespeare and The Chessmaster and His Moves and R.K. Narayan's The Man-Eater of Malgudi, Mr Sampath, The Guide and The Painter of Signs. In the study, the terms 'mythology' and 'philosophies' include not just the legends and stories of the ancient texts and the associated philosophies, but a whole corpus of social attitudes these generate.
