The book addresses students and professors interested in comparative literature and the complex problematic of modernity/postmodernity, hermeneutics, literary, and cultural theory within the past few decades of the 20th century. The author explores the works of Dostoyevsky, Thomas Mann, M. Proust, W. Faulkner, and Emil Cioran. It is a welcome opportunity for the scholarly audience to familiarize themselves with contemporary Romanian literature and literary theory.
Industry Reviews
A reference study in comparative literature, Professor Ilie Gyurcsik's book represents an exceptional analysis of certain exemplary ('paradigmatic') texts and comprises, displayed into a postmodern spirit, the tension inherent to a double perspective: the direct perspective, which is 'Renaissance-like' and proper to historical modernity, and the inverted perspective, which is literally-semantic, ludic, and fragmentary, and is proper to radical aesthetic modernity; a tension between the work and the text, between the paralogical delirium and the logic of the paradox, between a "pharaohic" vision and an "archeological" one. -- Ioan Nicolae Anghel, Editor, Amarcord Press, Timisoara, Romania
