At the same time, however, they are generally anchored in the real world, whose shortcomings they criticise, implicity or explicity, and for which they purport to offer solutions. The creation of perfect imaginary worlds therefore serves as a means of acting on the imperfect present. This is a particular feature of French utopian writing, whose rich tradition continues to grow, inspiring authors from all parts of the Francophone world. As the essays in this volume demonstrate, the utopian - and dystopian - imaginings which constitute that tradition find expression through all genres and modes of creation. What they have in common, though, is a dissatisfaction with contemporary society and a determination to explore possibilities for a better life."--BOOK JACKET. 2007-12-31T13:30:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2440/56648 Title: Cenizas de Izalco, novela burguesa Author: Paredes, Jorge Alcides 2007-12-31T13:30:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2440/54167 Title: La grandeza de Cenizas de izalco Author: Paredes, Jorge Alcides 2007-12-31T13:30:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2440/53120 Title: Virchow's "Cellular Pathology" 150 years later Author: Bignold, Leon Platt; Coghlan, Brian Laurence Dillon; Jersmann, Hubertus Paul Anton 2007-12-31T13:30:00Z
