EGL 218 - (263) European Novel in TranslationCourse Units: 1
(Fall; Heinegg) Offered once every four years. A survey of six great works, three from the 19th and three from the 20th century: Stendhal, The Red and the Black; Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary; Ivan Turgenev, Fathers and Sons; Marcel Proust, Swann’s Way; Franz Kafka, The Trial, and I. J. Singer, The Brothers Ashkenazi. Despite their many differences in setting and style, these novels share a number of themes: the alienated individual, the legacy of the French Revolution, social conflicts, the “values vacuum,” the meaning of art, and so on. We’ll explore all these as we make our way through the gripping, often astonishing world of modern Continental fiction. CC: HUL
