书目名称 | Random Destinations | 副标题 | Escaping the Holocau | 编辑 | Lilian R. Furst | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Random Destinations examines how novels and short stories portray those who managed to escape from Central Europe in the 1930s following the rise of Nazism. They faced many concrete and psychological problems at their random destinations: language acquisition, adjustment to different moves, fitting into the community, coming to terms with having been rejected by their homeland, the conflict between the desire to remember and/or forget their past, and, above all, the need to reshape their identities. Their personal struggles are contextualized within their historical situation, both global and specific to their new locale. The book argues that fiction, by taking ordinary escapees‘ difficulties into account, paradoxically offers a more subtle and true picture than sociological studies, that have tended to foreground the successes of a few outstanding individuals. | 出版日期 | Book 2005 | 关键词 | Europe; fiction; Holocaust; nation; novel | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781403979414 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-53145-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4039-7941-4 | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Nature America Inc. 2005 |
