History
The ceety's maist important colonial biggins include the Catedral Santa María La Menor, cawed La Catedral Primada de América, Americae's First Cathedral, which states its distinction; the Alcázar de Colón, Americae's first castle, ance the residence o Viceroy o the Indies Don Diego Colón, a son o Christopher Columbus; the Monasterio de San Francisco, the ruins o the first monastery in Americae; the Museo de las Casas Reales, the umwhile Palace o the Governor General an the Palace o Ryal Audiences; the Parque Colón (Columbus Pairk), a historic square; the Fortaleza Ozama, the auldest fortress in Americae; the Pantéon Nacional, a umwhile Jesuit edifice nou hostin the remains o various renowned members o the Dominican Order; an the Iglesia del Convento Dominico, the first convent in Americae.
Throughout its first century, Santo Domingo wis the launchin pad for mucjke o the exploration an conquest o the New Warld. The expeditions that led tae Hernando Cortes' conquest o Mexico an Balboa's sichtin o the Pacific Ocean aw stairtit frae Santo Domingo.
In 1586, Francis Drake captured the ceety, which he held for ransom. Drake's invasion an pillagin o Hispaniola sae weakened Spainyie dominion ower the island that for mair nor 50 years aw but the caipital wis abandoned an left tae the mercy o the pirates. An expedeetion sent bi Oliver Cromwell in 1655 attacked the ceety o Santo Domingo, but wis defeatit, an athdrew an teuk Jamaica, instead.
Frae 1795 tae 1822 the ceety chynged haunds several times alang wi the colony it heidit. It wis cedit tae Fraunce in 1795, captured bi rebellious Haitian slaves in 1801, recovered bi Fraunce in 1802, an recovered bi Spain in 1809. In 1821 Santo Domingo became the caipital o an independent naition, Haití Español. This wis twa month later conquered bi Haiti. The ceety an the colony lost muckle o thair Spaingie population as a result o thir events.
Santo Domingo wis again the caipital o a free naition, when Dominicans gained thair unthirldom frae Haitian rule on Februar 27, 1844 led bi thair naitional hero Juan Pablo Duarte. The ceety wis a prize focht ower bi various poleetical factions ower the succeedin decades o instability. In addition, the kintra haed tae fecht multiple battles wi Haiti; the Battle o March 19, Battle o Mairch 30, Battle o Las Carreras, an Battle o Beler, are a few o the maist prominent encounters, mentioned in the naitional anthem an wi ceety streets named efter them. In 1861 Spain returned tae the kintra, haein struck a bargain wi Dominican leader Pedro Santana wherebi the latter wis grantit several honorific titles an privileges, in exchynge for annexin the young naition back tae Spaingie rule. The Dominican Restoration War began in 1863 housomeivver, an in 1865 the kintra wis free again efter Spain athdrew.
Ower the next twa-thirds o a century Santo Domingo an the Dominican Republic went throu mony revolutions, pouer chynges, an occupation bi the Unitit States, 1916–24. The ceety wis struck bi hurricane San Zenón in 1930, which caused major damage. Efter its rebiggin, Santo Domingo wis kent offeecially as Ciudad Trujillo in honour o dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, who governed frae 1930. Follaein his assassination in 1961 the ceety wis renamed back tae Santo Domingo. It wis the scene o street fechtin durin the 1965 Unitit States occupation o the Dominican Republic.
The year 1992 markt the 500t anniversary, El Quinto Centenario, o Christopher Columbus' Discovery o Americae. The Columbus Lichthoose – Faro a Colón – wi an approximate cost o 400 million Dominican pesos, wis erected in Santo Domingo in honour of this occasion.

Nathalie Sarraute
Personal life
In 1925, she marriet Raymond Sarraute, a fellae lawyer, wi whom she wad hae three dochters. In 1932 she wrote her first beuk, Tropismes, a series o brief sketches an memories that set the tone for her entire oeuvre. The novel wis first published in 1939, although the impact o Warld War II stuntit its popularity. In 1941, Sarraute, who wis Jewish, wis released from her wirk as a lawyer as a result o Nazi law. Durin this time, she went intae hidin an made arrangements tae divorce her husband in an effort tae protect him (although they wad eventually stay thegither).
Sarraute dee'd at the age o 99 in Paris, Fraunce. Her dochter, the journalist Claude Sarraute, wis marriet tae French Academician Jean-François Revel.
Career
Sarraute dedicatit hersel tae leeteratur, wi her maist prominent wirk being Portrait of a Man Unknown (1948), a wirk applaudit bi Jean-Paul Sartre, who famously referred tae it as an "anti-novel" an who contributit a forewird an aw. Despite such heich creetical praise, housomeivver, the work anerlie drew notice frae literary insiders, as did her follae-up, Martereau.
Sarraute's essay The Age of Suspicion (L'Ère du soupçon, 1956) servit as a prime manifesto for the nouveau roman leeterary muivement, alangside Alain Robbe-Grillet's For a New Novel. Sarraute became, alang wi Robbe-Grillet, Claude Simon, Marguerite Duras, an Michel Butor, ane o the figurs maist associatit wi the rise o this new trend in writin, which socht tae radically transform traditional narrative models o character an plot. Sarraute wis awairdit the Prix international de littérature for her novel The Golden Fruits in 1963, which led tae greater popularity an exposur for the author. That same year, Sarraute began wirkin as a dramatist an aw, authorin a total o seiven plays, includin Le Silence (1963), Le Mensonge (1965) an Elle est là (1993). As a result o Sarraute's growin popularity an public profile, she wis invitit tae speak at a nummer o literary events baith in her native kintra o Fraunce an abroad.
Sarraute's wirk, includin the novels Atween Life an Daith (1968), The Uise o Speech (1980) an You Daena Love Yoursel (1989), hae been translatit intae mair nor 30 leids. Her wirk haes aften been referred tae as "difficult," as a result o her experimental style an abandonment o traditional literary conventions. Sarraute celebrated the daith o the leeterary "character" an placit her primary emphasis on the creation o a faithful depiction o psychological phenomena, as in her novella The Golden Fruits, consistin entirely o interior monologues, an the novel The Planetarium (1959), which focuses on a young man's obsession wi inheritin his aunt's apairtment. The constantly shiftin perspectives an points of view in Sarraute's wirk serve tae unnermine the author's haund, while at the same time embracin the incoherence o livit experience.
In contrast tae the relative difficulty o Sarraute's novels, her memoir Childhood is considered an easier read. Penned when she wis ower aichty year auld, Sarraute's autobiografie is hardly a straichtforward memoir, as she challenges her awn capacity tae accurately recaw her past throughoot the wirk. In the 1980s, the autobiografie wis adaptit intae a ane-act Broadway play starrin Glenn Close. The issues wi memory which Sarraute heichlichtit in her autobiografie carriet through tae her last novel, Here, published in 1995, in which the author splores a range o existential issues relatin tae the formlessness o baith individual an social reality.
