La nuit est tombée quand Hagos et Saba, frère et sœur, arrivent dans un camp de réfugiés au Soudan avec leur mère. Ils n’ont plus rien et ont fui leur pays en guerre, mais leur cœur bat toujours : Hagos, muet et fragile, et Saba, au caractère farouche, vont trouver l’amour au milieu des ruines. C’est dans ce monde à part, lieu condensé d’humanité, que frère et sœur vont briser les tabous, renverser les genres et illustrer un conte d’amour sensuel au milieu du chaos. Par ce roman élégiaque à contre-courant des préjugés, Sulaiman Addonia redéfinit la littérature de l’exil et célèbre avec modernité l’amour sous toutes ses formes. Dans la lignée de Floraison sauvage d’Aharon Appelfeld, Le silence est ma langue natale bouscule nos repères et nos codes, et par le pouvoir de sa langue, illumine l’insupportable réalité.

This book examines illustrations created to accompany fictions written by several of the most popular authors published in Britain and America between 1885 and 1920.By studying the lavish illustrations that complemented not only initial serializations, but also subsequent publications of fictions by H. Rider Haggard, Rudyard Kipling, James De Mille, Robert Louis Stevenson, and H. G. Wells, the book demonstrates the significance of images to the fin de siècle romance form. In order to make fantastic plots seem possible, graphic artists worked hand in hand with authors to not only fill gaps in audience understanding, but also expand and deepen the meaning of these marvels.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, illustration studies, British and American history, and British and American literature.

Even though the literary trope of the flâneur has been proclaimed 'dead' on several occasions, it still proves particularly lively in contemporary Anglophone fiction. This study investigates how flânerie takes a belated 'ethical turn' in its more recent manifestations by negotiating models of ethical subjectivity. Drawing on Michel Foucault's writings on the 'aesthetics of existence' as well as Judith Butler's notion of precariousness as conditio humana, it establishes a link between post-sovereign models of subject formation and a paradoxical constellation of flânerie, which surfaces most prominently in the work of Walter Benjamin. By means of detailed readings of Ian McEwan's Saturday, Siri Hustvedt's The Blindfold, Teju Cole's Open City, Dionne Brand's What We All Long For and Robin Robertson's The Long Take, Or a Way to Lose More Slowly, this book traces how the ambivalence of flânerie and its textual representation produces ethical norms while at the same time propagating the value of difference by means of disrupting societal norms of sameness. Precarious Flânerie and the Ethics of the Self in Contemporary Anglophone Fiction thus shows that the flânerie text becomes a medium of ethical critique in post-postmodern times.

This Element examines the eighteenth-century novel's contributions to empirical knowledge. Realism has been the conventional framework for treating this subject within literary studies. This Element identifies the limitations of the realism framework for addressing the question of knowledge in the eighteenth-century novel. Moving beyond the familiar focus in the study of novelistic realism on problems of perception and representation, this Element focuses instead on how the eighteenth-century novel staged problems of inductive reasoning. It argues that we should understand the novel's contributions to empirical knowledge primarily in terms of what the novel offered as training ground for methods of reasoning, rather than what it offered in terms of formal innovations for representing knowledge. We learn from such a shift that the eighteenth-century novel was not a failed experiment in realism, or in representing things as they are, but a valuable system for reasoning and thought experiment.
