Atrocity

A Literary History

Beschreibung

With penetrating insight, Robbins takes up literary representations of atrocity as Bartolomà de las Casas's account of his fellow Spaniards' atrocities, Slaughterhouse-Five, Simplicissimus, Cloud Atlas, and more. Robbins pursues the proposition, that, in the midst of relentlessly repetitive slaughter, humanity's moral history might include a cosmopolitan arc.
