{"product_id":"chaos-and-coincidence-in-contemporary-spanish-fiction","title":"Chaos and Coincidence in Contemporary Spanish Fiction","description":"This book is an investigation of contemporary Spanish fiction, specifically a group of fictional texts (written and film) that appeared in Spain in the first decade of this century (2001- 2010). The author focuses on textual analysis and studies how chaos and coincidence appear in these narratives and shape them. The texts analyzed are \u003ci\u003eSoldados de Salamina\u003c\/i\u003e (2001) by Javier Cercas, \u003ci\u003eTu rostro manaña\u003c\/i\u003e (2002-2007) by Javier Marías, \u003ci\u003eLa catedral del mar\u003c\/i\u003e (2006) by Ildefonso Falcones, \u003ci\u003eVolver\u003c\/i\u003e (2006) directed by Pedro Almodóvar, \u003ci\u003eInstrucciones para salvar el mundo \u003c\/i\u003e(2008) by Rosa Montero and \u003ci\u003eEl asedio\u003c\/i\u003e (2010) by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, with reference to other texts by these authors also included. Though very different storytellers, these authors share an interest in chaos as a theme and as a narrative device. This work shows that the recurrence in their stories of the theme of chaos indicates a move away from postmodern apathy to a growing sense of empowerment, both for characters and for their readers.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226675892568,"sku":"9783034310185","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783034310185.jpg?v=1764815432","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/chaos-and-coincidence-in-contemporary-spanish-fiction","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
