The paper deals with dictatorship in the selected novel by a Hispanic author. At the beginning, the paper focuses primarily on thinking about the meaning of literature and later on moves to the ...artistic depiction of dictatorship in Hispanic literature. In order to illustrate the reflection of dictatorship and dictator in the novel we focus on the work of Chilean writer Isabel Allende and her novel My Invented Country, in which she portrays Chile through characteristics of the people.
Grandes pechos amplias caderas es una de las cumbres novelísticas de Mo Yan (premio Nobel en 2012). El autor nació y creció en el hinterland de Qingdao, la antigua colonia alemana de Tsingtau en el ...NE de China, en un espacio rural que a principios del siglo XX todavía preservaba una esencialidad ancestral y que habría de acusar con especial virulencia el impacto de las influencias extranjeras. A partir de este trasfondo el relato recorre todo un siglo, ofreciendo una visión histórica alternativa de una China tumultuosa. El inmaduro narrador Jintong (el "bebé dorado") nunca lleva sus sentidos más allá de ese microcosmos. Pero si la novela despliega un efecto rupturista en la literatura china es sobre todo por un audaz y ecléctico enfoque femenino. La cuentística china, el realismo mágico sudamericano y un estilo personal se combinan en una obra universal.
One of Nichols's father's most prized possessions is a vest that her mother made him. It uses scraps of ribbon with bits of velvet and satin sewn together in the tradition of a "crazy quilt." Crazy ...quilts, an innovation of women's ingenuity and artistry, use the beautiful, odd remainders of other projects to create something valuable and unique. When she looks back on the last three years, her brain swirls trying to get a handle on what it has meant to try and "do the work" in pandemonious circumstances. In some ways, she felt like a pinball, bouncing from one opportunity to another. But really, she's not sure she likes the metaphor of the pinball. Yes, she felt thrown from one project to another, but not in a way that leaves her disconnected from each. She thinks the quilt--built of small moments, sewn together and decorated, the end product more than the sum of its parts--is a more apt comparison. In the fall of 2019, through a series of connections that she doesn't fully remember, she received a call from the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law (CHRCL).
La casa de los espíritus (1982) es la primera y la obra maestra de la gran escritora chilena Isabel Allende. Debido a la importancia que recibió la novela, se convirtió en un best seller y fue ...traducida a muchos idiomas, incluido el árabe. Se hicieron dos traducciones, la primera, realizada por Sulayman Al Guindi (1998) y, la segunda, a manos de Saleh ’Almani (2010). Nuestro trabajo arroja luz sobre la idea de la diversidad de las traducciones. También, discutimos normas de traducción utilizadas, apoyándonos en el modelo sugerido por Toury (1980). Además, se tiende a mostrar algunos de los problemas culturales de traducción compartidos entre las dos obras. Se concluye que la multiplicidad de traducciones, en algunos casos, no es una adición al texto original. En cuanto a las normas de traducción, observamos varias diferencias relacionadas con la extranjerización o la apropiación del texto, el uso de apoyos explicativos, si la traducción es directa o de segunda mano, etc. Finalmente, los dos textos comparten algunos problemas culturales de tipo/carácter lingüístico, social, material y religioso. Todos estos elementos tienen su incidencia en la recepción final de la obra.

Begun in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the feministic theory has manifested in a variety of disciplines including literature. The House of The Spirits written by the Chilean author ...Isabel Allende in 1982 depicts the struggle faced by women of different classes in different generations. Although the novel spans about fifty years of the life of Esteban Trueba, it is the women around him during distinct phases of his life that bring life to the novel. This study explores the patterns of women subjected to distress and misery because of the male subjects around them. The second wave of feminism which lasted roughly two decades finds itself in the vicinity of the movement. It is no secret that the writer wanted to portray the veracity of the society with revolutionary and conventional women. The work also portrays how women empower the spirits of others of their gender around them. This study challenges the belief that exceptional women who are constrained in their families because of their gender endure more grief till they become the best version of themselves.
Isabel Allende's novel El amante japonés (2015), uses magical realism and Orientalism to present an idealized and exoticized characterization of Japanese Americans. In light of Edward Said’s theory ...of Orientalism, this article analyzes how the novel presents Japanese Americans in a positive light, yet resorts to various stereotypes in its portrayal. Also, this article explains how Allende draws on the mystical beliefs of the Oomoto religion, a modern Shinto sect, to justify the supernatural traits of the protagonist's Japanese lover, Ichimei Fukuda. Additionally, magical realism and Orientalism in the novel attempt to offer a constructive alternative history of the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. The novel characterizes Japanese Americans through an Orientalist lens that emphasizes their positive traits and diminishes their flaws. Allende's novel suggests that these characters are representative of Japanese culture and that Japanese Americans comprise a model minority in the U.S. Finally, in El amante japonés, Allende incorporates Orientalism and magical realism to interpret Japanese culture by emphasizing the perspective of the Western protagonist.
