Modern Epic

Building a theory of the modern epic which has provided many of the "sacred texts" of Western literary culture, this work covers epics from "Faust" to "One Hundred Years of Solitude". The West's reception of these texts constitutes a ritual of self-absolution for centuries of colonialism.

Construind o teorie a epopeii moderne care a furnizat multe dintre ,,textele sacre" ale culturii literare occidentale, aceasta lucrare acopera epopei de la ,,Faust" la ,,O suta de ani de singuratate". Receptarea acestor texte de catre Occident constituie un ritual de auto-absolutie pentru secole de colonialism.
