Seeking to Understand the World: Literary Journalism of Vincent Sheean

Resumen del Libro

Libro Seeking to Understand the World: Literary Journalism of Vincent Sheean

Vincent Sheean, a groundbreaking American foreign correspondent and author, is known for reporting from Europe, North Africa, and Asia, writing news reports, articles, and books. A few books and articles have described Vincent Sheean’s life, and briefly discussed his major nonfiction books. However, no book-length study or article has closely examined his nonfiction books. 'Seeking to Understand the World: Literary Journalism of Vincent Sheean', textually analyzes his five nonfiction, journalistic books to examine them for characteristics of literary journalism. Spanning nearly the entirety of his journalistic career, these books include 'Personal History' (1935), 'Not Peace but a Sword' (1939), 'Between the Thunder and the Sun' (1943), 'Lead, Kindly Light' (1949), and 'Nehru: The Years of Power' (1960). Set in different world areas, the books illuminate events as disparate as the Riffian war, the Spanish Civil War, the infamous Munich pact, the Nazi bombing of London, and the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. Sheean’s books provide an in-depth, personal look at these and related events. This book includes analysis of Sheean’s works, finding that they have several prominent characteristics of literary journalism: stories and scenes, cohesive structure, lifelike characters, vivid description, well-crafted sentences, immersive reporting, among others.

...Como era obligado, los ninos pasabamos el tiempo de ocio con juegos en la calle, pues en aquellas viviendas minusculas no se podia jugar con amigos, ni tampoco en los patios, porque molestabamos a los vecinos. En verano, como todas las casas estaban abiertas a algun portal, nos quedabamos sentados en un escalon de marmol fresquito como el que tenia la puerta de la casa numero cuatro... hasta que salia la casera, que nos echaba, y nos ibamos a otro portal..."
