Living Novels: A Journey through Twentieth-Century Fiction is a selection of reviews that the author wrote over the last fifteen years of her life, grouped according to their general themes. These passionate readings of eighteen novels from fifteen countries from around the world-written in the twentieth century and all, except two, about the twentieth century-offer us Sascha Talmor's vision of the best and the worst in human life. And her vision, nourished and sustained by her passionate approach to literature, despite all that conspires to destroy it, is a resounding affirmation of human love as the fulfillment of life."Sascha Talmor's contributions to intellectual life were many, but her literary criticism reveals one thing of overriding merit: that she was committed to people above ideological or religious dogma."-David Lovell, Professor of Political Science at the University of New South Wales, and former Acting Rector of the University of Canberra (from the "Introduction"). | Living Novels by Sascha Talmor, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
