Download or read book Romance Of A Great Writer written by Edward B. D'Auvergne and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2002. In this title, Edward B. D'Auvergne chronicles the life of Pierre Loti, written with fervent sympathy. We journey with Loti from Brittany to Constantinople, from China to Morocco, from Egypt to Isfahan, breathing all the way the atmosphere and recognising the sources of the stories. Readers will find the biography of Pierre Loti as fascinating as the tales for which he is deservedly renowned. By writing of his life, D'Auvergne argues that those with an interest in literature may understand Loti better and, in turn, better understand his writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iceland, Greenland, Northern Norway, and the Faroe Islands lie on the edges of Western Europe, in an area long portrayed by travelers as remote and exotic - its nature harsh, its people reclusive. Since the middle of the eighteenth century, however, this marginalized region has gradually become part of modern Europe, a transformation that is narrated in Karen Oslund’s Iceland Imagined. This cultural and environmental history sweeps across the dramatic North Atlantic landscape, exploring its unusual geography, saga narratives, language, culture, and politics, and analyzing its emergence as a distinctive and symbolic part of Europe. The earliest visions of a wild frontier, filled with dangerous and unpredictable inhabitants, eventually gave way to images of beautiful, well-managed lands, inhabited by simple but virtuous people living close to nature. This transformation was accomplished by state-sponsored natural histories of Iceland which explained that the monsters described in medieval and Renaissance travel accounts did not really exist, and by artists who painted the Icelandic landscapes to reflect their fertile and regulated qualities. Literary scholars and linguists who came to Iceland and Greenland in the nineteenth century related the stories and the languages of the “wild North” to those of their home countries.
