Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'It has taken me a long time, my dearest Aza, to fathom the cause of that contempt in which women are held in this country .'Zilia, an Inca Virgin of the Sun, is captured by the Spanish conquistadores and brutally separated from her lover, Aza. She is rescued and taken to France by Deterville, a nobleman, who is soon captivated by her. One of the most popular novels of the eighteenth century, the Letters of aPeruvian Woman recounts Zilia's feelings on her separation from both her lover and her culture, and her experience of a new and alien society.Francoise de Graffigny's bold and innovative novel clearlyappealed to the contemporary taste for the exotic and the timeless appetite for love stories. But by fusing sentimental fiction and social commentary, she also created a new kind of heroine, defined by her intellect as much as her feelings. The novel's controversial ending calls into question traditional assumptions about the role of women both in fiction and society, and about what constitutes 'civilization'.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has madeavailable the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Les Lettres d'une Péruvienne de Françoise de Graffigny figurent parmi les romans les plus populaires du dix-huitième siècle, en France comme en Europe. L'histoire de Zilia, capturée par des conquistadores, séparée de son amant inca, libérée et courtisée par un noble français, était certes faite pour satisfaire le goût du siècle pour l'exotique et le sentimental. Mais c'était aussi un texte novateur et hardi qui, au-delà du sentimentalisme, explorait les problèmes de communication vécus par Zilia, dans la culture française qui n'était pas la sienne. Combinant de façon inédite la fiction et la satire contemporaine, Graffigny crée une héroïne définie autant par son intellect que par ses émotions, tout en s'appropriant un discours des Lumières qui jusque-là n'appartenait qu'aux hommes. La fin, si controversée, donne à Zilia une indépendance sans précédent et remet sérieusement en question les présupposés traditionnels sur le rôle des femmes, aussi bien dans la littérature que dans la société.…

Paperback. Condición: New. New. Widely regarded as Moliere's masterpiece, Le Misanthrope has nevertheless unsettled audiences and critics for the time of its publication in 166. Moving away from traditional models of comedy where characters have an unambiguous function it focuses on the figure of the misanthrope whose role is challengingly double - his unsparing social critique suggests both the incisiveness of the satirist and the bad humour of the misfit. In its representation of a society where no character has absolute authority the comedy involves the audience in a serious reconsideration of its own values and assumptions.This new edition explores Le Misanthrope as a text and play. In his introduction, Jonathan Mallinson examines the interlocking levels of comedy apparently both in the play's literary texture and in the original performance. It then discusses the history of its reception and shows how the play has been constantly adapted to the different moral social or aesthetic values of changing times. A detailed critical commentary offers another method of reading the text, analysing the sophistication of Moliere's comic writing and the theatrical possibiltieis it embodies.…
