Synopsis The Conscience of Humankind by :
The traumatic experiences of persecution and genocide have changed traditional views of literature. The discussion of historical truth versus aesthetic autonomy takes an unexpected turn when confronted with the experiences of the victims of the Holocaust, the Gulag Archipelago, the Cultural Revolution, Apartheid and other crimes against humanity. The question is whether - and, if so, to what extent - literary imagination may depart from historical truth. In general, the first reactions to traumatic historical experiences are autobiographical statements, written by witnesses of the events. However, the second and third generations, the sons and daughters of the victims as well as of the victimizers, tend to free themselves from this generic restriction and claim their own way of remembering the history of their parents and grandparents. They explore their own limits of representation, and feel free to use a variety of genres; they turn to either realist or postmodernist, ironic or grotesque modes of writing.

Synopsis Unparalled Sovereign by : Dao Tu
He was a talented youth, but he had been schemed to lose all of his strength. In the God of Heaven Continent, where strength reigned supreme, just how could he ever step foot onto the peak again? How could he kill his enemy? Was he just drinking his hatred or rising up to fight? I used my blood to purify the righteous energy of the world; I used my anger and rage to burn away the evil winds of the Buddha! QQ Bookmates: 327629138
