Amalia
Amalia is one of the most popular Latin American novels and, until recently, was required reading in Argentina's schools. It was written to protest the dictatorship of Juan Manuel de Rosas and to provide a picture of the political events during his regime, but the book's popularity stemmed from the love story that fuels the plot. Originally published in 1851 in serial form, Marmol's novel recounts the story of Eduardo and Amalia, who fall in love while he is hiding in her home. Amalia and her cousin Daniel protect him from Rosist persecution, but before the couple and the cousin can escape to safety, they are discovered by the death squad and the young men die. Similar in style to the romantic novels of Walter Scott, Amalia provides a detailed picture of life under a dictatorship combined with lively dialogue, drama, and a tragic love story.
Death of a Holy Land
Death of a Holy Land: Reflections in Contemporary Israeli Fiction, by Rose Levinson, uses the work of four contemporary Israeli authors as a lens into present-day Israel. Discussing the novels of Orly Castel-Bloom, Michal Govrin, Zeruya Shalev, and Yoram Kaniuk, the book argues for a new understanding of today’s Israel. Crucial to renewed awareness is a view of the country that jettisons the notion of Israel as an exceptional, sacred state immune from 21st century discontents. Attention is focused on ways in which many of Israel’s most pressing problems are linked to long-standing issues of Jewish identity. Continual reference to the novels gives weight and substance to Death of a Holy Land’s underlying insistence on the need for a critical view of Israel as a country deeply ill-at-ease with itself.
The Castle
"The Castle by Franz Kafka is a thought-provoking novel that follows the frustrating and surreal journey of K., a land surveyor summoned to a remote village under the mysterious authority of the Castle. Set against the backdrop of an inscrutable bureaucratic system, the story navigates K.'s relentless efforts to gain entry to the Castle and establish his purpose, only to be met with absurd obstacles, elusive characters, and an ever-shifting reality. Through its exploration of themes such as alienation, the struggle for recognition, and the futile quest for understanding, Kafka crafts a complex narrative that delves into the human condition, exposing the tension between individual aspirations and the incomprehensible forces that govern existence. 'The Castle' invites readers to grapple with questions of identity, belonging, and the inherent challenges of communication in a world where authority often remains distant and unfathomable."

Black Dionysus
Many playwrights, authors, poets and historians have used images, metaphors and references to and from Greek tragedy, myth and epic to describe the African experience in the New World.

The different ways in which Greek tragedy has been used by playwrights, directors and others to represent and define African American history and identity are explored in this work. Two models are offered for an Afro-Greek connection: Black Orpheus, in which the Greek connection is metaphorical...
