Nada By Carmen Laforet
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes the book by Carmen Laforet. Nada is the first novel written by noted Spanish author Carmen Laforet. First published in 1944, some critics have regarded this work as autobiographical as it recounts the spiritual desolation of a country emerging from civil war. Many have regarded this work as a feminist reworking of the Bildungsroman or "novel of maturation." However, others have offered a contrasting point of view that the main character, Andrea, does not appear to adhere to this model of development due to her extreme passivity. The writer discusses alternate views and the essential symbolism of the novel. No additional sources cited.

Naguib Mahfouz’s Novels “Palace Walk” and “Midaq Alley”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the novels “Palace Walk” and “Midaq Alley” by Naguib Mahfouz. Cairo-born writer Naguib Mahfouz has written almost forty novels and in 1988 became the first Arab writer to receive the Nobel Prize for literature and since the awarding of the prize, several of his works have been republished in new editions to enjoy worldwide exposure. Some of his early works however still remain his most popular including “Midaq Alley” (1947, 1991) and “Palace Walk” (1956, 1990), Book I of the Cairo Trilogy. “Palace Walk” and “Midaq Alley” tell of two different time periods and use different perspectives to approach the issues of cultural, religious, political and marital life. “Palace Walk” focuses on one family after the First World War and how the traditional religious aspects of married life based on patriarchy govern the family and how the younger generations are changing in their attitudes. These are aggravated by the differences in opinion of the current political controversies about the British presence in Egypt. “Midaq Alley” on the other hand, takes place during the Second World War and tells of how individuals handle living within the impoverished alley and through marital, religious, or political means try to either tolerate their life there or try to get out. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
