{"product_id":"vicente-blasco-ibzazez-jeffrey-thomas-oxford-9780820433585","title":"Vicente Blasco Ibáñez: Color Symbolism in Selected Novels","description":"One of the stated goals of the Naturalist movement was to present a depiction of life faithful to the empirical method. In practice, however, the works emphasize the more sordid and base elements. This study explains how Vicente Blasco Ibáñez's use of coloration is a consciously manipulated narrative technique instead of a faithful portrayal of reality. In fact, a close examination of the Valencian cycle concludes that the  scientific objectivity  of the Naturalist movement is tenuous, at best, and that Blasco Ibáñez's narratives include more art and artifice than have been recognized heretofore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Thomas Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820433586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820433585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Jeffrey Thomas Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453411668223,"sku":"9780820433585","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae99ae74-d35c-40cf-9542-a18f4ae98ba7.jpg?v=1777300075","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vicente-blasco-ibzazez-jeffrey-thomas-oxford-9780820433585","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
