A few words about literature

Today I would like to share with you one of the books which I've read recently. Elsa Drucaroff wrote a novel entitled: "Promised hell: from shtetl to Buenos Aires" and, in my point of view, it's worth devoting special attention to this book.

 

At the beginning of my entry I bring this author closer to you. Elsa Drucaroff was born in Buenos Aires on 1957 and she teaches literature at the University of Buenos Aires.  Apart from that, she is an author of many essays. This is her third novel in which she brings up subject as prostitution and illegal immigration. The main character, Dina, is a Polish Jew who struugles for independence, freedom and, first of all, with herself. But what's unusual about this character is, in fact, her courage. 

 

The plot of "Promised hell: from shtetl to Buenos Aires" takes places in Argentina in the thirties: there were very hard times because of social, economic and political difficulties. I belive that this novel can help us to understand something that we cannot see directly. 

 

 

 

The skill of the writer shows in really detailed analysis of human psyche. Elsa Drucaroff focuses especially on women's feelings and presents different points of view. What's more, she veaves some facts into the novel, which means that the book becomes very touching.
