As the first book to explore the concept of global aesthetics in political prison narratives, it makes a timely contribution to the advocacy and discourse of universal human rights by demonstrating how literary insight enhances the study of this field and encouraging comparative analyses and cross-cultural understanding. 606 $aPolitical prisoners$xCivil rights 606 $aPrisoners' writings$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPolitical prisoners$xCivil rights. 615 0$aPrisoners' writings$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a365/.45 701 $aWu$b Yenna$0645043 701 $aLivescu$b Simona$f1969-$01650593 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824185403321 996 $aHuman rights, suffering, and aesthetics in political prison literature$94000029 997 $aUNINA
