Sobre IBD

In her powerful opening essays - ’Fathers’ ’Forefathers’ and ’Ancestors’ - A. S. Byatt considers the renaissance of the historical novel and discusses particularly the novel of wartime experience; the surprising variety of distant pasts that British writers have invented; and the new ’Darwinian novel’. These afford new readings of writers from Elizabeth Bowen and Henry Green to Anthony Burgess William Golding and Muriel Spark and other contemporary authors including Penelope Fitzgerald Julian Barnes Martin Amis and Pat Barker.She also offers fascinating insight into her own translation of historical fact into fiction in the two novellas which make up Angels and Insects.

  • Las palomas de la guerra y otros relatos
    Fabio Silva Vallejo
    Este libro podría considerársele una experimentación contemporánea de la literatura colindante, es decir, aquella en donde se pierden las fronteras entre los géneros.

En estos movimientos y escamoteos, el profesor Fabio Silva Vallejo nos propone de fondo una...
