LITERATURE IN EXILE OF EAST AND CENTRAL EUROPE ...

Literature in Exile of East and Central Europe is a collection of articles discussing authors
whose homelands range from the former Soviet Union to the former Yugoslavia. For the purposes
of this book  East and Central Europe comprise Russia  Poland  Germany  Czech Republic  Romania
and former Yugoslavia. These writers were exiled as a result of unbearable political climates -
be it nations of the Communist block  including former Yugoslavia torn by its civil wars  or in
the case of Poland  its partitioning by neighboring powers in the nineteenth century. No other
book has collected such a variety of discussions from this geopolitical region  featuring
authors who chose exile over the extinguishment of their individuality. Organized by theme and
geography  this book will be of interest to a wide group of readers: from the topic of exile to
research in Slavic (Czech  Polish  Russian  and post-Yugoslav)  Romanian  German  and
comparative literature. Literature in Exile of Eastand Central Europe is a valuable supplement
to courses in Eastern and Central European history  as well as a primary text for courses in
East and Central European literature.
