réf. B9780806143309Paperback / softback. New. Mark Twain has been the subject of violent disagreement among critics. Most of them have believed that he was an "unconscious artist" working by impulse. Mark Twain as a Literary Artist shows that Mark Twain was much more the conscious craftsman than is generally believed.Here is revealed Twain's violent mental conflict a logical dilemma which forced much of his work into distorted patterns of thought and structure. Through years of practice he evolved methods to achieve detachment through techniques such as speaking through the lips of Huckleberry Finn or some other childlike person; placing satiric scenes far off in time or space; diminishing the human race to microscopic proportions so that its wrongs could be treated with detachment; and reducing life to a dream in which the greatest wrongs become tolerable because they seem unreal. Mark Twain as a Literary Artist is a mature thorough and revealing reassessment of the mind and methods of one of the most controversial figures in American literature. paperback

réf. A9780367876548Paperback / softback. New. Lebanon and Libya have undergone critical political events in recent years. However demands for reform from civic institutions during these transitions have not led to concrete political decisions. Civil Society and Political Reform in Lebanon and Libya reveals the deeply-entrenched historical patterns and elements of continuity that have led to path dependent outcomes in the political transitions of both countries. Motivated by personal experiences as an activist in Lebanon the author draws together a wide range of data from participant observations nation-wide surveys interviews and focus groups in a careful analysis of these two civil society-led reform campaigns. The study demonstrates how the combination of weak states and power-sharing agreements marginalizes civic organisations and poses institutional constraints on the likelihood of reform. Written by an active participant in the political events discussed this book offers new insight into two countries which present comparable and informative case studies. As such it is a valuable resource for students scholars and policymakers interested in civil society politics and reform in the Middle East and North Africa. paperback
