Alejo Carpentier (1904-1980) is one of the most distinguished writers in Latin American literature and numerous studies have delved into his literary works. However, very little is known about his private life and family background apart from the facts that he chose to reveal about himself. Indeed, several of these “facts” have turned out to be false. This thesis sets out to examine whether a hidd

Genom EU-förordningen 650/2012 om internationella arvsfrågor har nationalitetsprincipen bytts mot hemvistprincipen med avseende på vilket lands arvsregler som ska tillämpas inom EU.

ABSTRACT One of the major aims of fantastic literature is to fight against common forms of representation. A clear example of that are the short stories of Mexican Francisco Tario. The present study examines the literary resources of estrangement and personification in relation to four stories included in the author’s first publication, La noche: “La noche del féretro”, “La noche de la gallina”, “

Reading Mario Vargas Llosa's The time of the hero is a challenge for Swedish university students of Spanish as a foreign language, but despite this, course evaluations have shown that they tend to value the experience. This study focuses on exploring the students’ reading process and their reactions to the text through a reading log project. The categories of recognition, knowledge, enchantment an

The following study compares Carlos Fuentes’ “Chac Mool” (1954) with Elena Poniatowska’s “Coatlicue” (2003). Both literary works are short stories that belong to a literary genre known as the Fantastic, which is, in turn, a genre in which a reader will be met with a credible setting, not too different from their own, but in which various supernatural elements manifest themselves and disturb the st

This study has as its theme the role of food in literature and more specifically to investigate it in three works: the novel Like Water for Chocolate (1989) by Laura Esquivel, the short-story “Lección de cocina” (1971) by Rosario Castellanos and the short-story “El corazón de la alcachofa” (2003) by Elena Poniatowska. With the support of previous studies on the subject, starting from Antiquity wit

Although Scandinavia is arguably peripheral in the global literary system, it nevertheless holds a surprisingly prominent position in the field of translation, Swedish and Danish being among the ten most translated languages in the world (Lindqvist, 2015). What literature is selected for translation and introduction into new linguistic contexts is not a coincidence, but has to do with economic fac
