Often looked upon from the perspective of his biography in relation with his works, Ion D. Sîrbu published the novel "Dansul ursului" [The Dance of the Bear], apparently a children's book, in 1988. The key protagonists, Buru the Bear and the Gary the donkey are both lively alter egos of the writer. At the surface, the narrative builds on characters...
In recent times, Indian ascetics have become pop icons due to the influence of visual entertainment media. Outside their country of origin, they are often negatively stereotyped to foster derogatory understandings of the Others and their cultures. In this paper, we will focus on representations of Indian ascetics. Starting with their early depictio...
In Stavro, the first opening piece of Kyra Kyralina (published in 1923), the narrative focuses on the actions taken and the reactions shown or concealed by three male characters in alternation, with particular emphasis on gender, age, and experience. In between traditionally built sections and ample back-storytelling, the story addresses the key le...
In the Romanian interwar landscape, Henriette Yvonne Stahl’s first novel has raised interest yet its reception was more or less favourable, since the themes were mainly thought as feminist, apparently aligned to similar concerns of other female writers of the time.
The current paper aims to look at the life of protagonists and their actions present...

How are the politically (in) correct elements articul...

Silhouettes, silence, guilt and conflict permeate the memoir by Elite
Olshtain, a genuine life-testimony of her childhood spent in Czernowitz and Romania before and after World War II. How is one’s identity fragmented when war cuts the existential route of a prosperous and caring family? Where is the victim and who is the heroine? This paper explor...
Alienation makes the heroes in John McGahern’s stories behave or appear like uncontrolled, wild and fearful creatures, anticipating a peril but unable to detect a precise danger and the way to counteract its impact. The demarcation between the safe and unsafe territory is
even more difficult in circumstances related to death and funerals, as charac...
Alienation makes the heroes in John McGahern's stories behave or appear like uncontrolled, wild and fearful creatures, anticipating a peril but unable to detect a precise danger and the way to counteract its impact. The demarcation between the safe and unsafe territory is even more difficult in circumstances related to death and funerals, as charac...
Like Stephen Daedalus, John McGahern’s protagonists live in rural and urban backgrounds marked by dogmatism and inflexibility, as well as reverie and memory. Their existence is distanced or mirrored by close family members, linking complex events to personal discourses that often place characters on the edge of a dreaming state. This essay aims at...
Childhood and youth emerge and re-emerge, time and again, as durable concerns and difficult intervals to reach adulthood, as John McGahern describes his experience in novels and short stories.
