Sounds awful, doesn’t it? But Sylvie Germain is much more remarkable than tags such as these might make her sound (she could hardly be less). Her first novel, The Book of Nights, was a tremendous success in France, and won the Scott-Moncrieff Prize for translations when it was published in Britain last year. Now Days of Anger has arrived in English, too, having won the Prix Femina and many critical accolades, all of them deserved.” –Wikipedia article on Napoleon_III http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_III –Wikipedia article on Flanders http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanders –Wikipedia on Alsace-Lorraine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsace-Lorraine –Hypertext Book of Hours http://medievalist.net/hourstxt/home.htm –Chambers’ 1869 The Book of Days http://www.thebookofdays.com/ —Symbolism of the number 7 —The Book of Nights Notes on Characters I & II American Culture Literary Theory –Moore’s Magical Realism Page, Emory University –Quotes from Muriel Schmid, “Topic of Lament: Sylvie Germain’s ‘invitation to a Journey’ and the Memory of Evil”: http://www.jstor.org.librarylink.uncc.edu/stable/40060072?loginSuccess=true&seq=2#page_scan_tab_contents –Definition of magical realism ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_realism ) –Symbolic meaning of the number 7: (http://www.britannica.com/topic/number-symbolism ) –Presentation Outline: BookofNights |
