The Image of the XIXth century Russia in the texts of Juan Valera and Mohamed ‘Yad El-TanTawy
Abstract
In this paper, we will show two points of view of two authors, namely, Juan Valera, from Spain, and Mohamed ‘yad El-TanTawy, from Egypt, toward the Russia of the 19th century. The purpose is to draw a comparison between the pictures of the two authors, each of whom comes from a culture distant from Russia, writing two books that include their impressions and experiences about Russia, namely: The Masterpiece of the Intelligent in the News of Russia, and Letters from Russia. By coincidence, the two authors lived in Russia at the same time in the Mid 19thC and they have a common characteristic, which is literature.Downloads
