Whether they occur as plot elements, as part of literary or film imagery, as symbols in paintings, as leitmotifs in songs, or as concepts in philosophical theories, both have always been a source of fascination to authors, artists and scholars. In Shipwreck and Island Motifs in Literature and the Arts , Brigitte Le Juez and Olga Springer have gathered essays that explore shipwreck and island figures in texts as historically, culturally and artistically diverse as Walter Scott?s The Lord of the Isles , Cristina Fernández Cubas? ?The Lighthouse?, reality TV series Treasure Island , pop songs of the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs, or The Otolith Group?s essay-film Hydra Decapita . 410 0$aDQR studies in literature ;$vVolume 57. 606 $aShipwrecks$zUnited States 615 0$aShipwrecks 676 $a344.73094 702 $aJuez$b Brigitte Le 702 $aSpringer$b Olga 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815222103321 996 $aShipwreck and island motifs in literature and the arts$93933385 997 $aUNINA
