Further context is provided by both Sikh and non-Sikh responses to western novelists’ portrayal of Sikh characters and social issues.

Abstract:

Božena Slančíková Timrava (1867-1951) is an eminent Slovak writer. Her highly regarded realistic novels dealt with the rise of the modern Slovak nation. The intricate historical circumstances of the early 20th century, and the eventual emergence of the Slovak nation within complex European culture, made Timrava’s effort even more important. Due to the multicultural nature of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Timrava’s work is also meaningful in our trans-national and trans-cultural Global village.

The article examines why the important technical achievement at the turn of the 20th century was named after the conqueror of Siberia. Two narratives are analyzed to answer this question.

Abstract Gottfried Benn (1886–1956) was a major 20th-century German physician-poet and essayist. He successfully completed his medical studies and worked across several hospitals and disciplines, including pathology, performing many autopsies. Later in life, Benn ran his own practice to treat skin and venereal diseases in Berlin for many years. Benn is not well-known in English-speaking countries and only a few of his poems have been translated into English so far. One possible reason for this may have been his initial enthusiasm for National Socialism (as documented in essays, see below), whi

The Jogo do Pau (in English, “The Stick Game”) is a martial art developed mainly in rural areas, where the stick was a weapon of easy access and firearms were scarce. Until the middle of the 20th century, in the north of Portugal, a rural society prevailed. It needed to defend itself, be it from wild animals or serious altercations over issues such as water, land, women or any other reason. It was amidst this social context that the Jogo do Pau came into being, with its crude and virile technique. With the opening up of rural society to urbanisation and the subsequent emigration of its people,

Indeed, it has been estimated that as many as one in every three new novels, published in English, is classified within the crime fiction category (Knight xi). These new entrants to the market are forced to jostle for space on bookstore and library shelves with reprints of classic crime novels; such works placed in, often fierce, competition against their contemporaries as well as many of their predecessors.
