Eva Eglāja-Kristsone

4.9/5 (13783 ratings)

Description:"This anthology is the first of its kind in English to show a fuller spectrum of Latvian women's writing spanning more than a century.It is a period marked by change, war, occupying regimes, and renewed freedom. Much of the early work written by Latvian women writers such as Anna Rumane-Kenina, Angelika Gailite, Anna Brigadere, Alija Baumane, and Mirdza Bendrupe is realist in nature, depicting an upheaval of mores and relationships forged not through tradition, but the pangs of love and passion. The Soviet era brought strict censorship to all forms of the arts, including literature. Despite this, authors like Regina Ezera were able to push their craft deeper into the psychological analysis of their characters. On the other side of the Iron Curtain, US-based Latvian exile writer Ilze Skipsna forged ahead with her own version of the psychological short story, delving into the mind of an exiled writer."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
