  James Joyce - Biography and Works
Joyce's technical innovations in the art of the novel include an extensive use of interior monologue; he used a complex network of symbolic parallels drawn from the mythology, history, and literature, and created a unique language of invented words, puns, and allusions.
James Joyce was born in Dublin, on February 2, 1882, as the son of John Stanislaus Joyce, an impoverished gentleman, who had failed in a distillery business and tried all kinds of professions, including politics and tax collecting.
Obviously, being literature, I would suppose there are omens that foreshadow the ending and I just didn't read between the lines...I was expecting someone to die, perhaps the aunts or the man who fetches the cab or maybe even the protagonist.

  'correcting nature's mistakes': TRANSFORMING THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOVIET CHILDREN'S LITERATURE, 1928-1941 Environmental ...
Representations of nature in Stalinist children's literature encompassed not only crude propaganda, but also less adversarial, more scientific expressions of human entitlement vis-à-vis the environment as well as a small but significant number of apolitical celebrations of nature.
Writers framed their case in terms of fostering realism, but their creations were equally grounded in a belief that was as deterministic as it was hopeful: that the rationalism that underlay science would inculcate a more egalitarian society in Russia, in addition to improving its material existence.
In this view, children's literature was a didactic tool in the service of modernization, and public taste and the market were unacceptable arbiters of quality.

Whereas most literature in Taiwan prior to 1920 was written in the style of the classical Chinese tradition, a new strand of modern Taiwanese literature emerged in the early 1920s in a process commonly referred to as the Taiwanese New Literature movement »OÆW·s¤å¾Ç¹B°Ê.

She also went over a list of what to avoid when selecting children’s literature on East Asia, including cultural ambiguity or confusion, illustrations that reflect art styles from museums rather than those from the world of children’s literature, and representations of experiences that are not truly Asian.
