Fugitive
A fugitive or runaway is a person who is fleeing from custody, whether it be from jail, a government arrest, government or non-government questioning, vigilante violence, or outraged private individuals. A fugitive from justice, also known as a wanted person, can be a person who is either convicted or accused of a crime and hiding from law enforcement in the state or taking refuge in a different country in order to avoid arrest. A fugitive from justice alternatively has been defined as a person formally charged with a crime or a convicted criminal whose punishment has not yet been determined or fully served who is currently beyond the custody or control of the national or sub-national government or international criminal tribunal with an interest in their arrest. This latter definition adopts the perspective of the pursuing government or tribunal, recognizing that the charged (versus escaped) individual does not necessarily realize that they are officially a wanted person (e ...

The Fugitives (novel)
''The Fugitives'' () is a novella by Finnish writer Johannes Linnankoski, published in 1908, and it is considered to be one of the author's most significant works, alongside ''The Song of the Blood-Red Flower''. Set in Tavastia, a story is about agrarian society and peasants' pride and reconciliation. The work has been translated up to eleven languages. The story was based on actual events; at the time of writing the novella, Johannes Linnankoski lived at Lapinlahti in 1902, when a peasant family from Akaa settled there, and as in novella, an old couple's daughter married an elderly widow but had an illegitimate child with another man. Shame about adultery and fear of gossip was apparently the real reason for the move to Savonia. Linnankoski transferred the events to his story. In the village of Alapitkä, the Hovi House—where Linnankoski lived—was at the center of the book. Television adaptation Based on the story, the television film ''Pakolaiset'', written and directe ...

Pramoedya Ananta Toer
Pramoedya Ananta Toer ( EYD: Pramudya Ananta Tur; 6 February 1925 – 30 April 2006), also nicknamed Pram, was an Indonesian novelist and writer. His works span the colonial period under Dutch rule, Indonesia's struggle for independence, its occupation by Japan during World War II, as well as the post-colonial authoritarian regimes of Sukarno and Suharto, and are infused with personal and national history. Pramoedya's writings sometimes fell out of favour with the colonial and later the authoritarian native governments in power. He faced censorship in Indonesia during the pre- ''Reformasi'' era even though he was well-known outside Indonesia. Dutch authorities imprisoned him from 1947 to 1949 during the War of Independence. During the transition to the Suharto regime, he was caught up in the shifting tides of political change and power struggles. Suharto had him imprisoned from 1969 to 1979 on the Maluku island of Buru and branded him a Communist. He was seen as a holdov ...

The Fugitive (poem)
"The Fugitive" () is a poem by Mikhail Lermontov, written in 1838 (according to Pavel Viskovatov, citing Akim Shan-Girey, the poet's relative) and first published in 1846, by the ''Sevodnya i Vtchera'' (Today and Yesterday) almanac. The final one in Lermontov's Caucasian cycle, it was tagged as the "Highlanders' legend" by the author. Background The poem, telling the story of a young man who left the battlefield, returned home and was rejected by his loved ones, was apparently a take on the piece of a local folklore. The French author Tetbu de Marigny in his book ''The Voyage to Circassia'' (Brussels, 1821) mentions a song about a boy who "happened to be the only one who'd returned home from the fight with Russians where all of his comrades died and got banished by his own people." Several literary historians noted similarities that "The Fugitive" had with the unfinished Alexander Pushkin's poem '' Tazit'', published in ''Sovremennik'' (under the title "Galub") in the end of 1837. ...

La Fugitive
''Albertine disparue'' (''Albertine Gone'') is the title of the sixth volume of Marcel Proust's seven part novel, ''À la recherche du temps perdu''. It is also known as ''La Fugitive'' (in French) and ''The Sweet Cheat Gone'' (in English). Plot In the sixth volume of the series, the Narrator's past actions meet an equivalent resolution. The captive is now the fugitive. As in previous volumes, envy and distrust eventually reveal unsuspected and unwanted revelations, such as Albertine's homosexuality, which lead the Narrator to reconcile himself with his melancholy. Unfortunately, happiness still eludes him, and the marriages of his former friends pit him against his own misery, which he tries to cover with indifference. Publication The final three volumes of the novel were published posthumously and without Proust's final corrections and revisions. The first edition, based on Proust's manuscript, was published as ''Albertine disparue'' to prevent it from being confused with Ra ...

Fugitives (poets)
The Fugitives, also known as the Fugitive Poets, is the name given to a group of poets and literary scholars at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, who published a literary magazine from 1922 to 1925 called ''The Fugitive''. The group, primarily driven by Robert Penn Warren, John Crowe Ransom, Donald Davidson, and Allen Tate, formed a major school of twentieth century poetry in the United States. With it, a major period of modern Southern literature began. Their poetry was formal and featured traditional prosody and concrete imagery often from experiences of the rural south. The group has some overlap with two later movements: Southern Agrarians and New Criticism. History About 1920, a group consisting of some influential teachers of literature at Vanderbilt, a few townies, and some students began meeting on alternate Saturday nights at the home of James Marshall Frank and his brother-in-law Sidney Mttron Hirsch on Whitland Avenue in Nashville. They met as a poe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
