Ifigenia (Teresa De La Parra Novel)
''Ifigenia'' (in English ''Iphigenia: Diary of a Young Girl Who Wrote Because She Was Bored'') is a 1924 Venezuelan novel by Teresa de la Parra. ''Ifigenia'' marked a change in Latin American literature. The novel is a feminist critique of Caracan society in the early twentieth century. Strict moral rules are represented by the grandmother in this novel, and the character of Uncle Pancho represents the ambitious personality which was common at the time due to political corruption. Besides being a harsh criticism of society, ''Ifigenia'' is a fast-paced work with detailed descriptions. The novel caused serious problems for the author because the Venezuelan dictator Juan Vicente Gómez denied her a grant to publish the book. De la Parra decided to move to Paris. A veiled criticism of the regime of Gomez can be seen in ''Ifigenia''.

Novels By Teresa De La Parra
A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, typically written in prose and published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the la, novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of ''novellus'', diminutive of ''novus'', meaning "new". Some novelists, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Ann Radcliffe, John Cowper Powys, preferred the term Romance (literary fiction), "romance" to describe their novels. According to Margaret Doody, the novel has "a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years", with its origins in the Ancient Greek novel, Ancient Greek and Roman novel, in Chivalric romance, and in the tradition of the Italian renaissance novella.Margaret Anne Doody''The True Story of the Novel'' New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1996, rept. 1997, p. 1.
