Aesthetics and Ideology in Contemporary Literature and Drama
The conviction that the development and promotion of the arts, humanities and culture through the study of literature and the aesthetic are the fundamental constituents of any progress in society is at the heart of this volume. The essays gathered here explore the role of the imagination and aesthetic awareness in an age when the corporatization of knowledge is in the process of transforming literary studies, and political commitment is in danger of disappearing behind a supposedly post-ideological late-capitalist consensus. The main focus of the volume is the mutual implication of aesthetics and ideology and the status and value of different types of art within the political arena. Challeng...
Essays on English and American Literature
This volume brings together a group of essays on 27 English or American writers contributing to the history of English and American literature, and offers a concise survey of the question of literary understanding. It approaches this question in a specific and systematic way, adopting the framework of structuralist literary criticism. The book proposes a preliminary to the understanding of literature in general, a sort of âphilosophy of literatureâ, as the problems involved in critical reading of course reflect the powerful characteristics of literary language.
John Steinbeck in East European Translation
This volume narrows a huge gap in regard to Steinbeck translations in Eastern Europe, here considered in terms of the political division between Western Europe and the Soviet-dominated East.

The 500 letters capture the world of theater as well as the personalities of their authors.

Vies quotidiennes
Une expression spontanée d’une profonde intensité a donné naissance à ce recueil, véritable ode à la vie. Composé de deux grands ensembles, ses mots célèbrent des concepts fondamentaux tels que le voyage, la tradition, la spiritualité, l’amour, la communauté... Initialement, ces deux parties étaient distinctes, bien qu’écrites d’un même élan et de manière continue. Cependant, avec du recul, René Agostini a pris conscience de leur union et les a finalement réunies en ce chant vibrant de l’âme et de l’esprit intitulé "Vie quotidienne – Le feu au vide". À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR René Agostini a déjà publié divers ouvrages, notamment des essais, des recueils de poèmes et des traductions. Pour lui, la poésie et la musique sont des expressions de la même quête : celle de la Vie qui n’est nulle part et jamais ne sera, si ce n'est intérieure...
