About The Book
Description
Author
Reports announcing the death of the book are now rife but the continued relevance of the ten master writers discussed in this volume is proof to the contrary. Here we come across the dissident Czech writer Václav Havel who later became the nations president; the South African Nobel Laureate Nadine Gordimer with her pronounced anti-apartheid novels; the Chilean-American Isabel Allende the worlds most widely read Spanish author; and Günter Grass hailed as the literary spokesman of his generation. We also meet Graham Greene and Milan Kundera alongside the Egyptian Naguib Mahfouz who in his quiet way ridiculed Islamic fundamentalism. The book is rounded off with three remarkable Latin American writers: Pablo Neruda Octavio Paz and Gabriel García Márquez. Of Love and Other Sorrows takes the reader on a fascinating journey in the company of some of the biggest names in modern literature. This illuminating study of their lives and works will seduce readers to rediscover these masters for themselves.
