Topic: A Fable (novel)

	Novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since its appearance, the novel has become one of the major literary genres, and today it is the object of discussions demanding artistic merit, a specific literary style and a deeper meaning than a true story of the same content could claim to have.
		The new genre also adopted the name novel: this new novel was a work of new epic proportions, with the effect that the English (and Spanish) eventually needed a new word for the original short "novel": The term novella was created to fill the gap in English; "short story" brought a further refinement.
		The story was firmly a "novel" and not a "romance": a story of unparalleled female virtue, with a heroine who had had the chance to risk an illicit amour and not only withstood the temptation but made herself more unhappy by confessing her feelings to her husband.

	novel. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Thus, the modern novel is rooted in two traditions, the mimetic and the fantastic, or the realistic and the romantic.
		The novel became the dominant form of Western literature in the 19th cent., which produced many works that are considered milestones in the development of the form.
		These novels are not only masterpieces of realism but also—in their carefully crafted form, experimental point of view, and superb style—supreme examples of the novel as a literary genre.

		Fable also features a number of novel elements, such as how your hero's appearance gradually changes with age, and how villagers will respond differently to him depending on his reputation, looks, and other factors.

	Sanctuary (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sanctuary is considered one of the more controversial of William Faulkner's novels, given its theme of rape.
		In 1933 it was adapted for the movie The Story of Temple Drake, but with all references to corncobs removed to comply with the Production Code and with Popeye renamed "Trigger" for copyright reasons.
		The novel is set in Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County (Mississippi) and takes place in May/June 1929.

	Fable: The Lost Chapters for Xbox Review - Xbox Fable: The Lost Chapters Review
		This latter case is the subject of Fable: The Lost Chapters, a game in which you get to vicariously experience the life of an archetypal fantasy hero, and, in some respects, decide what eventually becomes of him.
		Fable also features a number of novel elements, such as how your hero's appearance gradually changes with age, and how villagers respond differently to him depending on his reputation, looks, and other factors.
		Fable veterans will need to play through the game again in order to get to the new stuff (your save files from Fable unfortunately don't transfer over) and the additional quests amount to only a few more hours of gameplay, if you play straight through.

		An imaginative and humorous fable with just the basic message that spoiled kids – and their parents – should be punished and good kids should be rewarded.
		Now that this novel has been adapted twice into movies, first in 1971 and now in 2005, and given that comparisons of the new version to the old one (and to the novel) are inevitable, I’ve broken down my comparisons into two different parts: first the characters, and then the two movies themselves.
		And, as a fan of the novel, I think the second best version is the 2005 movie because its main weakness (the Willy Wonka and his father subplot) is a lot smaller than the 1971 version’s main weakness (the entire first half of the movie).

	Fable - xbox Review - Game Revolution
		And you probably already know about his grandiose plans for Fable, about the open-ended, realistic game world and the ability to be as good or evil as you see fit.
		In case you had the notion, Fable is not Morrowind.
		Fable tries to squeeze an evil, square hero into a pleasant, round hole, and the result doesn’t always make much sense.

	Shantaram : A Novel by St. Martin's Press
		But if he is presenting the events of the novel as autobiographical fact with a completely straight face then one can't help suspecting that we are reading the delusional ramblings of a self-aggrandizing windbag.
		And to be fair, it could've been a great novel if it had been compressed to about a third of its length and a maturation or two.
		Shantaram is a beautiful novel written by a foreigner who has seen India from his eyes...especially Bombay, the toughest city for survival.

	A Fable (Vintage): read reviews
		Iï¿½ve read some other novels by Faulkner, and this is the first away from Yoknapatawpha.
		However, there is indeed a light at the end of that tunnel; as with many of Faulkner's works, the individual stories that make up the novel dont come together until the last hundred or so pages.
		This is a long, tedious, and fanatically detailled narrative, but a great novel that pays off with a terrific closing 50 pages for the patient reader.

		In his latest novel, Rand Johnson recreates Virgil's idyll in the fictional town of Arcadia Falls, a semi-rural New Jersey suburb in transition; the next stop on a concrete corridor populated with strip malls, office parks and other way stations of modern American life.

		Later in the novel, Frank's anxious sister and girlfriend circle endlessly around this fl hole of brush and forest without ever penetrating to its mysterious source.

	Daisy Miller: A Fable of American Innocence
		As Daisy is herself portrayed as representative of Americans in general, her problems in relating to Europe become problems that are representative of the general problems in American-European interactions.
		This fable demonstrates the problems that Americans, who are essentially an innocent people, have in interacting with Europeans, who are essentially not innocent.
		The defining characteristic of a fable is that it makes an "edifying or cautionary point." The point on which Daisy Miller edifies the reader is the essentially innocent character of Americans and the problems these people, who are fundamentally innocent, have in interacting with Europeans, who are essentially not innocent.

	Andrei Codrescu, Author
		The fact that the author of this disturbing novel is a National Public Radio correspondent and a writer of considerable experience will create demand.
		Drake relates his tale to a judge in new York, and it takes the form of a confession in which he reveals his involvement in a murder and admits to the dark-soul legacy of his horrible ancestor, from which he can't seem to escape.
		Fortunately, the bulk of the narrative concerns the blood-soaked realm of the countess, conjuring a historically rooted nightmare that is hard to resist.

	Sequential Tart: Bill Knapp - Taken On Faith (vol IV/iss 10/October 2001)
		Faith: A Fable is a graphic novel that creator Bill Knapp has designed to push the boundaries of what comics are capable of achieving.
		ST: Faith: A Fable is an uplifting story about a young woman who shows others how to believe in life and hope by simply being someone with plenty of both.
		BK: Faith: A Fable is, I believe, a prime example of the sort of material of which comics are capable, yet could never be done by the "mainstream" comics publishers (unless maybe written by Alan Moore) because it IS about something, not just a reason to string together fight scenes.

		Keneally said that in The Tyrant's Novel - his 26th book - he was continuing to look at the "fault line" which splits people, having previously looked at Christians and Jews, and Ethiopians and Eritreans.

	Fable - XBox Review
		As you know, Fable was forecasted to be the trump card for the Xbox, making it the Mecca for all RPG players to abandon their PC and head towards the more profitable console market.
		With that said, Fable is one of the few, rare games that breaks apart from the traditional mold to create an experience that future games thereafter will shape themselves after.
		I agree that the change may not be as dramatic as one would have hoped for, but the small ripples Fable will cause will be evident for years to come.

	NewPages Reviews - Magdalena A Fable of Immortality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This cryptic tale is of a girl who seeks immortality through alchemy, the mythical ability to turn a worthless base metal, such as lead, into gold.
		The aura of the fable at this point could be compared to the life of a medieval sorceress with an intriguing setting that seemed to be building toward a sensational climax.
		In short, the effect of this novel was sort of a “reverse alchemy.” It turned the “gold” of intrigue into the “lead” of confusion.

	Cervantes' Arte Nuevo de Hazer Fábulas Cómicas en este Tiempo, by Anthony Cloze
		It depicts the behavior of base, indecorous, foolish, or eccentric characters; their status is low or middling; and the style of the fable is plain.
		The comic fable, like the amatory, may be large, middling, or small in size: examples of the three types are, respectively, Don Quixote, novelas like Rinconete y Cortadillo, and the episodes of light relief in an amatory fable or prose-epic.
		Their novelle tend to be about a single action, such as the impudent confidence-trick with seduction as its end, the ingenious sally which saves a compromising situation, the witticism and the circumstance which occasioned it.

	Paulo Coelho - 'The Alchemist : A Fable About Following Your Dream'
		However, by the end of the novel, he discovers that "treasure lies where your heart belongs", and that the treasure was the journey itself, the discoveries he made, and the wisdom he acquired.
		This is the core of the novel's philosophy and a motif that echoes behind Coelho's writing all through "The Alchemist".
		And isn't it true that the whole of humankind desperately wants to believe the old king when he says that the greatest lie in the world is that at some point we lose the ability to control our lives, and become the pawns of fate.

	Middlesex - PowerBookSearch!
		In his second novel, the author of The Virgin Suicides (1993) once again proves himself to be a wildly imaginative writer, this time penning a coming-of-age tale, ranging from the 1920s in Asia Minor to the present in Berlin, about a hermaphrodite.
		Although at times the novel reads like a medical text, it is also likely to hold readers in thrall with its affecting characterization of a brave and lonely soul and its vivid depiction of exactly what it means to be both male and female.
		Spanning across eight decades--and one unusually awkward adolescence--Jeffrey Eugenides' long-awaited second novel is a grand, utterly original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of desire.

		The answer, while not surprising, is nonetheless as unexpected as a fist out of the darkness on a dimly lit street corner.
		THE 25TH HOUR is in its own way a fable of our time, a portrayal of how scales are balanced and crime is inevitably punished in ways both foreseen and not.
