Abstract:
This article re-examines the First World War experience of renowned American crime fiction author Raymond Chandler in order to demonstrate that the established biographical account masks an experience more traumatic than previously acknowledged. Like Carlos Baker’s version of Ernest Hemingway’s wartime experience, Frank MacShane’s original biographical account relies heavily on small sections of Chandler’s own correspondence that are taken out of context. Later biographies have reproduced this vague and ambiguous account without much further investigation, which has permitted various theories

Abstract:
The French-Argentine Paul Groussac embodied a wide range of writerly functions and cultural-political positions within the Argentine cultural field between the 1880s and the 1920s: writer, playwright, chronicler, traveler, literary, art, and music critic, historian, educator, editor, and director of the National Library during 44 years. This essay considers his place in the history of Argentine literature looking at two of the many ways in which he inscribed himself in it. The first takes up the production and reproduction of the ontological privilege of French identity as a form of legitimiza

Abstract:
Modern French literature is marked by the flowering of hybrid genres. The article is devoted to the study of novels belonging to exofiction, one of the leading hybrid genres in modern French literature. At the heart of exofiction is the appropriation of someone else’s experience and the entering into someone else’s personal narrative. Instead of the chain of events that organizes the traditional biographical novel, the exofictional narrative focuses on filling in the gaps with the narrator’s personal experience, instead of representation, on the “perceptual autonomy of the narrator” (S.L.

Abstract:
Sorana Gurian's proverbial passion for pets, almost unnoticed in Romanian literary history, deserves a careful analysis, especially because it was directly recognized as and even constituted the foundation of some substantial pages of memoir or fiction prose, written by this cosmopolite, intriguing, and spectacular author, who linked her biographical existence to several Moldavian, Romanian and French spaces. Animals have a completely exceptional importance especially in the novel "The days never come back" (1945) – where the number of animal references is huge (compared to any other Romanian

A medical practitioner, Professor Cottard, features in Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu, which has been described as one of the supreme achievements of world literature. Proust modelled the character of Cottard on the real-life Parisian neurologist and psychiatrist Dr Jules Cotard (1840–1889). Marcel Proust's father, Dr Adrien Proust, was an eminent Parisian surgeon and a contemporary of Cotard.

O livro, que contém apenas um poema subdividido em nove partes, já em seu título faz referência ao curta-metragem do mesmo nome, de 1985, dirigido pela cineasta francesa Valérie Brégaint. Ao longo do poema, Danziger vai elaborar a dor do luto e da perda de Brégaint, que era sua amiga. Assim, mescla-se o enredo do filme C’est loin Bagdad com aspectos biográficos tanto da vida da poeta, quanto da cineasta. O objetivo deste artig

The article aims to study conceptual metaphor of the “underground” in Rene Girard’s mimetic theory. French literary theorist and anthropologist began to mention the dostoevskian topography developed in Notes from Underground (1864) within his first book Deceit, Desire and the Novel (1961), where he started to shape his views on triangular desire. A study of Dostoevsky’s reception in the works of Girard allows emphasizing the significance of literary works in the very process of theoretical thinking of Girard, even though his books quickly went beyond the framework of traditional literary criti

Abstract:
Abstract Marcel Beyer‘s Flughunde has been seen as a new departure in Germanlanguage fiction about the Nazi past: written by an author ‘not one, but two stages removed from biographical involvement in National Socialism’, it moves on from questions of guilt, denial, and intergenerational conflict and attempts to recover the voices of the perpetrators that fell silent after 1945.1 And yet Beyer‘s 1995 novel Flughunde has much in common with a novel published twenty-five years earlier by the French author Michel Tournier: Le Roi des Aulnes.2 Set largely in the Third Reich after 1940, both novels

Abstract:
Abstract Sappho’s poetry made her famous throughout the ancient Greek world, probably within her lifetime. Soon, like the medieval French poet François Villon, she became a subject of legend and figured later as a character in comedy. Surviving biographical facts are few and are transmitted to us mixed up with the lore of fables and with bits of dramatic fiction.* Sappho was born on Lesbos around 630 b.c., probably in the town of Eresos, but spent most of her life in Mytilene, the most important of the island’s five cities. Her mother’s name was Kleïs; her father’s name may have been Skamandro

Western criticism often compared Merezhkovsky’s historical and biographical writing with the archaeology of Georg Ebers, the aesthetic stylization of Flaubert as the author of “Salammbô” and the universals of Hippolyte Taine. At the same time, the question of the nature of the impressive similarity between the biographies of Napoleon created by Léon Bloy and Merezhkovsky remains open, since there is indirect evidence, still not verified, in favour of the influence of the Russian writer’s early texts on the French author. It is important to correlate Merezhkovsky’s late works with the genre rep
