Two friends are torn apart when one joins a gang, betraying the bond of trust between them.
Much of the classic literature around the world deals with love that should not be; whether it is class distinctions or feuding families keeping them apart, readers continue to enjoy well written tales about two lovers attempting to overcome all obstacles.
But having both of them on the same volume gives the viewer an appreciation for the different takes Japanese literature has on presenting stories of everyday life.

While disregarding the language of institutions and ministries, German-language literature, whether it comes from Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Russia or Germany, is generally seen as an entire corpus with a variety of different cultural facets.
Sturm und Drang (literally: "storm and stress") was a Germany literary movement that developed during the latter half of the 18th century.
The movement was, among other things, a protest against the barbarism of the War and what Dadaists believed was an oppressive intellectual rigidity in both art and everyday society; its works were characterized by a deliberate irrationality and the rejection of the prevailing standards of art.

  The Art of Literature (Rexroth's Encyclopaedia Britannica article)
To use the word writing when describing literature is itself misleading, for one may rightly speak of “oral literature” or “the literature of preliterate peoples.” The art of literature is not reducible to the words on the page; they are there because of the craft of writing.
Literature, like music, is an art of time, or “tempo”: it takes time to read or listen to, and it usually presents events or the development of ideas or the succession of images or all these together in time.
Popular literature today is produced either to be read by a literate audience or to be enacted on television or in the cinema; it is produced by writers who are members, however lowly, of an elite corps of professional literates.

 Court: Institutionalizing English Literature
But even for Fish, until recently, the concept of literature as an "institution," autonomous and dehistoricized, was the primary consideration in examinations of culturally bound evaluative conventions that govern the reading and interpretation of texts.
"Literature," for Vives, included more than just belles lettres: books in law, geography, and history, for instance, were also categorized as "literature." His influence helped to set the stage for the introduction of a wide variety of printed books, including literary selections, into the school curriculum in Britain.
As a result, English literature was invited to take its place as yet another exegetical carrier of sacred mysteries employed in the service of Christian dogma and the propagation of western culture.

 World (Postcolonial) Literature in English
Similarly, faculty lines in non-British and -American literatures in English remain disproportionately thin, and often require faculty hires to represent vast geographic, cultural and historical swathes in a way that would be unacceptable to scholars specializing in other areas of literary studies, such as twentieth-century American or nineteenth-century British literature.
The answer might be to approach literature on a global scale, through multilingual canon formation, based on selecting texts which stand out not only within their own linguistic traditions but also in a comparative context.
The section on West Indian literature is organized into short thematic chapters, dealing with themes like anti-imperialism and nationalism, the treatment of race, the theme of childhood, the treatment of women, the theme of migration, the Rastafarian, post-independence critiques, carnival, and calypso.

 The German Stage, 1767-1890 — www.greenwood.com
In an economical introduction, the compiler explains that she has extracted the performance data from a group of German theater histories; the work is therefore as accurate and as selective as its sources.
A vast amount of information is here, certainly, and since the source works are likely to be available only in large libraries, this is a sound acquisition for college and university collections serving theater history and German literature programs.
Presented in a clear and concise format, the information has been extracted from a variety of sources, many of which are difficult to obtain and inconveniently arranged.

By “altering states” the course means two things 1) literature’s role in altering one’s political state as well as the nation-state generally and 2) its capacity to produce altered psychic states.
Here the course considers literature’s relation to stimulation generally, whether that stimulation is conceived as imagination/inspiration, narcotics, or love.
The course focuses primarily on poetry and on prose devoted to defining, critiquing, and revising poetry.

 Donmeh West - Jacob Frank and the Frankists Hebrew Zoharic Letters
Of the Frankist literature, our text is the only one which purports to reproduce the Master's own words in Hebrew.
The Hebrew Zoharic letter, written apparently in 1800 to the Jews of Hungary by the three leading disciples of Jacob Frank, is made available here for the first time together with a transcription, and an English translation and commentary.
The Polish documents in our possession probably were translated from Hebrew and Yiddish originals or reconstituted de novo by members of the second or third generation for whom Polish had become a native tongue.
