The Subangelic Vision Of Saul Bellow: A Study Of His First Six Novels, 1944-1964, Robert Roy Dutton

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

While there is an understandable reticence on the part of critics of contemporary American literature to make definitive judgements, there does seem to be a general consensus that the novels of Saul Bellow represent the contemporary American novel at its best. Moreover, this consensus comes not only from critical journals with an exclusive and limited circulation, it also is to be seen in publications of wider appeal, the weekly news magazines and the book reviews of daily newspapers. What is even more astonishing is that the reading public seems to agree with the critics and book reviewers; at this writing, …

For this purpose historical cornerstones of economic co-operation and commercial endeavor will be discussed.

...

Among them the individuals and groups who pursued trade not only revived the collapsed commerce known to the Roman world, but provided the framework for modern commercial and financial activity and …

Social Types In The Novels Of Ciro Alegría And Jorge Icaza, Sandra Russell Martínez

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

"Throughout the Andes eight out of ten people are Indians. , They are the destiny of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia--but also a national burden..." The problems presented by this group are of primary importance, not only because the Indians represent such a large percentage of the population but also because factors such as modern communications make the indigent aware of his own misery as well as of the vast well-being which other groups enjoy. As novelists of Peru and Ecuador turn to examine national problems, their works provide us with new, amplified insight. Although their interpretations may seem exaggerated, they …

A Study Into The Transmission Of Greek Thought To Early Arab Civilization Through Syriac And Arabic In The Light Of Modern Research, Margaret Rosalie Cuneo

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of the study, based mainly on modern research, is to investigate the elements composing the transmission of Hellenic knowledge to the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates through Syriac and Arabic.

The emphasis of the study is placed upon the period of the mid-800’s when the potently intellectual and cultural achievements of the most famous Abbasid capital, Baghdad, reached an unprecedented level of activity. One scholarly accomplishment built under the patronage of the Caliph al-Ma’mun was the Bayt al-Hikmat (House of Knowledge) where Syriac and Arabic translations from Greek texts were encouraged. The record of greatest output of accurate translations …

Relacion Entre Algunas Obras En Prosa De Valle-Inclan Y Algunas De D'Annunzio, Maria Ernesta Marchesi

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Varios críticos han notado la influencia de Gabriele D’Annunzio en la obra de Don Ramón del Valle-Inclán y uno, Julio Casares, ha señalado un episodio de clara imitación, pero, por lo que pudimos averiguar, no se ha hecho un estudio detenido puntualizando las muchas semejanzas específicas que existen entre los dos autores.

En este trabajo se examinarán varios recursos estilísticos y temas que aparecen en algunas obras en prosa de la fase modernista de Valle-Inclán, relacionándolos con los que fueron empleados anteriormente por Gabriele D’Annunzio en sus obras en prosa. Esto pondrá en evidencia las semejanzas específicas que se hallan …
