内容説明・目次
内容説明
This is a study of the stranger, both as a deep personal sense of self as distinct from that being known to outsiders, and as the foreigner, an alien in a different country or society not his or her own. The work covers the fields of literature and philosophy - from Greek tragedy and the Bible, through the literature of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance (Dante, Machiavelli, Rabelais, Thomas More and Montaigne), the Enlightenment (Montesquieu, Diderot and Paine) to the 20th century in the form of Camus and Nabakov. The author also discusses the legal status of foreigners throughout history and uses the history of their treatment to offer a perspective on our own civilization.
