rusos y a Dickens de quien tradujo Pickwick papers. Aprovechó las rápidas apreciaciones e indicaciones sobre sus países. Acusó a los escritores contemporáneos de incapaces de describir la vida de su tiempo. Sólo excluyó de sus ataques a Fernán Caballero y a José María Pereda. Urgió a los otros escritores a tomar las grandes conclusiones de los problemas sexuales y espirituales de la clase media urbana de su época como principal fuente de inspiración.

Poe’s other masterpieces of horror include “The Pit and the Pendulum” (1842), a spine-tingling tale of cruelty and torture, and “The Cask of Amontillado” (1846), aneerie tale of revenge.

When looking on this former events, his behaviour is often characterized by adjectives linked to childhood, and which seems here derogatory : “infant tongue” (l.1), “childish conclusion” (l.10).

2.2. 1 L’architecture Le style architectural gothique, venu du nord de l’Europe, est perceptible dans quelques abbayes cisterciennes achevées au début du XIIIe siècle, telles que Fossanova, près de Rome (consacrée en 1208), et San Galgano, près de Sienne (v. 1218). L’introduction de ce nouveau style en Toscane — via l’abbaye de San Galgano — se traduit par la construction de deux célèbres églises gothiques à Florence, Santa Maria Novella (1246) et Santa Croce (1294-1295).

For instance, most interpretations of the Odyssey credit Penelope with fidelity during her husband’s lengthy absence, while Molly Bloom is unfaithful to her husband. As in Portrait, each chapter in Ulysses has a distinct style that reflects both the exterior and interior lives of the characters and their development as individuals. The fina...

Revival of Woman Through Classic Writings
novel. She introduces the main character and the story as a myth. By comparing Fevvers to Helen of Troy, she creates a parallel between these two heroines. At the incipit of the book, Fevvers tells the reader to call her “Helen of the High Wire”(7). We are expected to learn from Fevvers as we learned from Helen of Troy. Indeed, they are both supposed to be born from an egg and not directly from a woman. Helen of Troy was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, the queen of Sparta, whom Zeus took the appe...

L’introduzione Boccaccio descrive la peste che viene a Firenze nel 1348. Per lui, la peste degrada moralmente la città. Boccaccio fa una descrizione atroce con molti dettagli per esempio il fatto che «l’odore dei morti fa capire ai vicini che qualcuno è morto». Boccaccio condanna il fatto che quelli che si occupano dei malati lo fanno solo per i soldi. Boccaccio denuncia l’egoismo delle gente che preferisce lasciare la sua famiglia per no toccata dalla peste. Per l’autore, la peste cambia i...

Un tema recurrente de la novela es la relación conflictiva del padre con el hijo. Y así era la de Kafka con su propio padre, que desaprobaba continuamente las amistades de su hijo, sobre todo si eran judías, y las calificaba incluso de “Ungeziefer” (parásito), que es la palabra que utiliza el autor en la primera frase del libro para referirse al nuevo estado de Gregor Samsa, y que en las versiones en español se traduce por insecto. (Franz Kafka. “Carta al padre”). Ese término de pa...
