As Crônicas do Brasil: Brazilian Sketches
Author: Rudyard Kipling
Publisher: Editora Landmark LTDA
ISBN: 8588781735
Category : Fiction
Languages : pt-BR
Pages : 144
Book Description
AS CRÔNICAS DO BRASIL, pouco conhecidas do público brasileiro é uma das primeiras a apresentar também o texto completo desenvolvido por Kipling, em edição bilíngue. Publicadas inicialmente em sete artigos publicados no Morning Post entre 29 de novembro e 20 de dezembro de 1927, posteriormente foram reunidas nas Edições de Sussex, destinadas a colecionadores, cuja maioria das cópias aparentemente foi destruída a Segunda Guerra Mundial. AS CRÔNICAS DO BRASIL contém as vividas, apuradas e intuitivas impressões de Rudyard Kipling sobre o Brasil e o povo brasileiro. Este livro é inevitavelmente um item de colecionador, mas também é muito mais que isso: uma agradável leitura e a chave para entendermos como o Brasil era visto e admirado pelos grandes escritores do século XX. Em seus últimos anos de vida, Kipling sofria de graves problemas no aparelho digestivo e que eventualmente vir-lhe-iam matar alguns anos depois. Entre os anos de 1925 e 1927, seu médico, recomendou-lhe uma longa viagem de navio, e aproveitando a ocasião, Kipling vem realizar nesta viagem um grande sonho que já era conhecido deste a publicação de Apenas Algumas Histórias. A viagem desenrolou-se em cinco semanas de trabalho árduo sob o clima tropical, da qual o presente volume trazido pela primeira vez ao público brasileiro pela EDITORA LANDMARK foi o seu resultado. O livro também oferece uma das especialidades da EDITORA LANDMARK: o texto traduzido ao lado do texto original, o que permite ao leitor uma comparação rápida e atualizada da obra, resgatando todas as minúcias dos textos, apresentando a crítica social de sua época aos costumes e ao padrão de vida ingleses, além de apresentar corretamente a ironia e o sarcasmo de seu estilo, presente mesmo nos textos de temática mais simples.

Book Description
"Clarice Lispector was a born writer....she writes with sensuous verve, bringing her earliest passions into adult life intact, along with a child's undiminished capacity for wonder."—The New York Times Book Review "In 1967, Brazil's leading newspaper asked the avant-garde writer Lispector to write a weekly column on any topic she wished. For almost seven years, Lispector showed Brazilian readers just how vast and passionate her interests were. This beautifully translated collection of selected columns, or crônicas, is just as immediately stimulating today and ably reinforces her reputation as one of Brazil's greatest writers. Indeed, these columns should establish her as being among the era's most brilliant essayists. She is masterful, even reminiscent of Montaigne, in her ability to spin the mundane events of life into moments of clarity that reveal greater truths."—Publishers Weekly

Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil
Author: Hendrik Kraay
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
ISBN: 0826362281
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
Press, Power, and Culture in Imperial Brazil introduces recent Brazilian scholarship to English-language readers, providing fresh perspectives on newspaper and periodical culture in the Brazilian empire from 1822 to 1889. Through a multifaceted exploration of the periodical press, contributors to this volume offer new insights into the workings of Brazilian power, culture, and public life. Collectively arguing that newspapers are contested projects rather than stable recordings of daily life, individual chapters demonstrate how the periodical press played a prominent role in creating and contesting hierarchies of race, gender, class, and culture. Contributors challenge traditional views of newspapers and magazines as mechanisms of state- and nation-building. Rather, the scholars in this volume view them as integral to current debates over the nature of Brazil. Including perspectives from Brazil’s leading scholars of the periodical press, this volume will be the starting point for future scholarship on print culture for years to come.

Francisco de Paula Brito
Author: Rodrigo Camargo de Godoi
Publisher: Vanderbilt University Press
ISBN: 0826501370
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
Francisco de Paula Brito is a biography of a merchant, printer, bookseller, and publisher who lived in Rio de Janeiro from his birth in 1809 until his death in 1861. That period was key to the history of Brazil, because it coincided with the relocation of the Portuguese Court from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro (1808); the dawning of Brazilian Independence (1822) and the formation of the nation-state; the development of the press and of Brazilian literature; the expansion and elimination of the trans-Atlantic slave trade; and the growth of Rio de Janeiro’s population and the coffee economy. Nevertheless, although it covers five generations of Paula Brito’s family—men and women who left slavery in the eighteenth century—this book focuses on its protagonist’s activities between the 1830s and 1850s. During that period, Francisco de Paula Brito became one of the central figures in the cultural and political scene in the Imperial capital, particularly through his work as a publisher. Paula Brito’s success was due in part to his ability to forge solid alliances with the Empire’s ruling elite—among them leading politicians responsible for the unification of the vast Brazilian territory and for the maintenance of slavery and the illegal trafficking of Africans. Consequently, through the books and newspapers he published, Francisco de Paula Brito became part of a much larger project.

Books and Periodicals in Brazil 1768-1930
Author: AnaClaudiaSurianiDa Silva
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351573306
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Before the Portuguese Royal Court moved to its South-American colony in 1808, books and periodicals had a very limited circulation there. It was only when Brazilian ports were opened to foreign trade that the book trade began to flourish, and printed matter became more easily available to readers, whether for pleasure, for instruction or for political reasons. This book brings together a collection of original articles on the transnational relations between Brazil and Europe, especially England and France, in the domain of literature and print culture from its early stages to the end of the 1920s. It covers the time when it was forbidden to print in Brazil, and Portugal strictly controlled which books were sent to the colony, through the quick flourishing of a transnational printing industry and book market after 1822, to the shift of hegemony in the printing business from foreign to Brazilian hands at the beginning of the twentieth century. Sandra Guardini Vasconcelos is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Sao Paulo.

The Country of Football
Author: Roger Kittleson
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 052095825X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, and the Brazilian national team is beloved around the planet for its beautiful playing style, the jogo bonito. With the most successful national soccer team in the history of the World Cup, Brazil is the only country to have played in every competition and the winner of more championships than any other nation. Soccer is perceived, like carnival and samba, to be quintessentially Brazilian and Afro-Brazilian. Yet the practice and history of soccer are also synonymous with conflict and contradiction as Brazil continues its trajectory toward modernity and economic power. The ongoing debate over how Team Brazil should play and positively represent a nation of demanding supporters bears on many crucial facets of a country riven by racial and class tensions. The Country of Football is filled with engaging stories of star players and other key figures, as well as extraordinary research on local, national, and international soccer communities. Soccer fans, scholars, and readers who are interested in the history of sport will emerge with a greater understanding of the complex relationship between Brazilian soccer and the nation’s history.

A Respectable Spell
Author: Carlos Sandroni
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 025205296X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
A landmark in Brazilian music scholarship, A Respectable Spell introduces English-speaking readers to the rich history of samba from its nineteenth century origins to its emergence as a distinctive genre in the 1930s. Merging storytelling with theory, Carlos Sandroni profiles performers, composers, and others while analyzing the complex ideologies their music can communicate in their lyrics and rhythms, and how the meaning of songs and musical genres can vary depending on social and historical context. He also delves into lundu, modinha, maxixe, and many other genres of Brazilian music; presents the little-heard voices and perspectives of marginalized Brazilians like the African-descended sambistas; and presents a study in step with the types of decolonial approaches to ethnomusicology that have since emerged, treating the people being studied not only as makers of music but also of knowledge. Incisive and comprehensive, A Respectable Spell tells the compelling story of an iconic Brazilian musical genre.
