It is regarded by many as one of the great books of the last 100 years. This work won the 1981 Booker Prize and, in 1993 and 2008, was awarded the Best of the Bookers as the best novel to have received the prize during its first 25 and 40 years. After Midnight's Children, Rushdie wrote Shame (1983), in which he depicts the political turmoil in Pakistan. Shame won France's Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger (Best Foreign Book) and was a close runner-up for the Booker Prize. Both these works of postcolonial literature are characterised by a style of magic realism and the immigrant outlook that Rushdie is very conscious of as a member of the Indian diaspora (väljaränne Palestiinast). Rushdie wrote a non-fiction book about Nicaragua in the 1980s, The Jaguar Smile (1987). The book has a political focus and is based on his first-hand experiences and research at the scene of Sandinista political experiments

later transforms and decides to marry her. The wedding between these two suggests Turgenev's optimism for Russia's future. (Jahn, 1977) -Turgenev concluding that in some way, the old generation will find its place???, Negative attitude towards the younger generation is only represented by Pyotr. As Vyashnikova finds, "One of the novel's major themes is that it is the children's fate to become like their fathers." However, Nikolais ability to feel fulfilment in nature and love, to enjoy music and arts is something that in a way, makes him the hero of the novel. He together with changed arkadii is capable to enjoy and lead a life fulfilment, unlike others. While Nikolai is a man of the forties, Pavel is seemingly more a man of the 30s - similar to Pechorins (Woodward 1996:30) Pavels views ar shown to bwelong to `narrow class boundaries' (Dunaev 1883:199) Pavel is heavily satirised- anglomania, use of french, style.
was forgone conclusion that all serious writing had to done in Latin or French. It is a valuable social document as it gives us an insight into a cross-section of 14th-cent.

wrote "The Unilateral Imagination; or, I too Dislike it", in his Essays of Four Decades. This critique was established from a lecture given by Tate in 1955 based on his works. An example of Dante's ability to tell so much in one single word was expressed by Tate when he cited the word "ombre" which translates "shades," to remind us of the continuity of the Christian Hell and Virgil's pagan Hades. "Shades" are referred to as three-dimensional bodies, able to feel pain as if they were alive in solid ice and immobile, yet to have the intensity of fire. If Dante had tried to touch one of them, his hand would have met no physical resistance since the shades would melt into the air. Tate stands in awe of Dante's abilities to express such a large concept or picture in so few words. He says, "I believe we all wish we had been able not only to write better poems, but poems that say much more than we have been able to say, while at the same time seeming to say
due to sagas (oral history). They had no written language. Beowulf Beowulf is an epic or a long poem describing the adventures of an hero. It belongs to the Anglo-Saxon period, when they were still living on the mainland and then brought to Greta Britain . It was made up in the 3rd or 4th century. I was spread orally until it was written down in the 10th century. The author is unknown and the manuscript is kept in the British Museum (near Trafalgar Square). The story is very important as it allows us to lear about the way of life in the 4th century. The characters can be divided into two groups fictitious and historical. The epic deploys many metaphors - e.g. the sea = the swan's road, body = a house for bones and alliteration. It is structured as two parts. In the first part King Hroghtgar, king of Danes built a palace Hereot near a lake

relates to American Revolution on the one hand and the European Enlightenment on the other. Influenced by the scientific revolution of the 17th century and the humanist period during the Renaissance, the Enlightenment took scientific reasoning and applied it to human nature, society, and religion. American Enlightenment a gradual but powerful awakening that established the ideals of democracy, liberty, and religious tolerance in the people of America. If there were just one development that directly caused the American Revolution and uplifted the intellectual culture of the continent while it was only a British colony, it would be the American Enlightenment. Broadly, the Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that changed the fundamental perspective of the masses, urging them to foster skepticism and apply scientific principles in matters of religion and morality.

The poem is one of the earliest and greatest monuments of the Germanic literatures. The main stories of the poem (the fights of B.) are versions of common folk-tales, but the poet also introduces many incidental stories, some of which belong to the world of ancient Germanic legend. He writes his folk-tales and legends in a web of other events, mainly set in the Baltic Kingdoms. He shows a very rich and leisurely portrayal of this Baltic world, providing many customs like the close relationship between lord and man in the war-band and others. All this encouraged the supposition that the unknown author of the poem was himself a bard of the ancient type portrayed within the poem (a lord's scoop). However, many people propose that the author could be Christian poet, perhaps a monk, versed not only in old native traditions, but also in the culture and literature of the Latin Church, and whose purpose of writing was highly moral. For example, the fate is

He was High Church, inclining to Anglo Catholicism, an admirer of Newman and the Tractarian movement, and did his best to instill such views in his children. Young Charles was to develop an ambiguous relationship with his father's values and with the Anglican church as a whole. Dodgson was born in the little parsonage of Daresbury in Cheshire county (near

country. The main problem or conflict the characters have to solve Families like Meena's are trying to work out how they fit into British society while attempting to maintain their own culture. Meena's house is always full of a constant stream of ethnic visitors and her parents seem to see no need to integrate further, but Meena finds them baffling.

Meena tries to reinvent her life and her past in order to make herself more interesting and in some sense to fit the stereotypes. She is very much the opposite of her mother, who has managed quite well

and art in a tasteful manner acceptable to Victorian sensibility- paintings of Greek and Roman ladies at their bath and in other intimate situations. The technical expectations were very high towards these paintings. A new current was set in motion by Rossetti, who was a poet as well as a painter.

Her mother was a commoner. Sand was born in Paris but raised by her grandmother at her estate, Nohant, in the French region of Berry. She later used the setting in many of her novels. In 1822, at age 19, she married Baron Casimir Dudevant. She and Dudevant had two children: Maurice and Solange. In early 1831 she left her prosaic husband. 4 years later she was legally separated from Dudevant and, taking the children with her, converted to a Jewish faith. Contemporary views Sand's reputation came into question when she began sporting men's clothing in public. In addition to being comfortable, Sand's male dress enabled her to circulate more freely in Paris than most of her female contemporaries could.

to be the verbatim word of God (Allah), and the teachings and normative example of Muhammad, often considered by the adherents of Islam as the last Prophet of God. In addition to referring to the religion itself, the word Islam means 'submission to God, 'peace', and 'way to peace'. An adherent of Islam is called a Muslim.

family became yearly visitors to Simla and Lockwood Kipling was asked to serve in the Christ Church there. He returned to Simla for his annual leave each year from 1885 to 1888, and the town figured prominently in many of the stories Kipling was writing for the Gazette. Kipling describes this time: "My month's leave at Simla, or whatever Hill Station my people went to, was pure joy--every golden hour counted. It began in heat and discomfort, by rail and road. It ended in the cool evening, with a wood fire in one's bedroom, and next morn--thirty more of them ahead!--the early cup of tea, the Mother who brought it in, and the long talks of us all together again. One had leisure to work, too, at whatever play- work was in one's head, and that was usually full."
