Book Description
Projeto de um Romance, Sanditon, Os Watsons, Os Capítulos Originais de 'Persuasão': Juntas, estas quatro obras - dois fragmentos de romances inacabados, um esboço para um novo romance e os capítulos originais de um dos seus grandes romances - revelam o desenvolvimento de Jane Austen como uma grande artista e escritora. Escrito por volta de 1804, deixado inacabado, terminado por sua sobrinha Catherine Hubback e publicado na metade do século XIX, com o título The Younger Sister, provavelmente abandonado após a morte dos pais da escritora, "OS WATSONS" é uma tentadora e altamente deliciosa história cuja vitalidade e otimismo centram-se sobre as perspectivas conjugais das irmãs Watson em uma pequena cidade provincial. "SANDITON", iniciado sob o título The Brothers, em 1817, deixado incompleto e publicado em 1925, foi o último romance escrito por Jane Austen, situado em uma cidade à beira-mar e seus temas dizem respeito à nova sociedade de consumo especulativo e prenunciam as grandes convulsões sociais provenientes da Revolução Industrial. "PROJETO DE UM ROMANCE" é um trabalho curto, de cunho satírico, escrito provavelmente em maio de 1816. Foi publicado em forma completa pela primeira vez por R. W. Chapman em 1926, tendo aparecido alguns extratos, em 1871. Considera-se que nesta obra, temos o relato mais importante do que Jane Austen entendia como sendo seus objetivos e sua visão pessoal como romancista. Nos Capítulos Originais de "PERSUASÃO" podemos aprender mais sobre o consumado talento artístico de Jane Austen e seus maravilhosos poderes de autocrítica; e que prova - de forma incontestável - o padrão de perfeição no qual ela insistia em todos os aspectos. Pois esse é de fato uma parte do rascunho final, acabado: o romance completo que, quando ela o escreveu, deixara-a satisfeita e tinha sido planejado para publicação. Mesmo assim, continuou a ser objeto de cuidadosa meditação, e as reflexões de uma noite a convenceram de que ainda poderia ser melhorado adiante.

Woes of the True Policeman
Author: Roberto Bolaño
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1529924545
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
When Oscar Amalfitano begins an affair with one of his students, he has no idea where it will lead. More than his turbulent revolutionary past, or the death of his beautiful wife, the scandalous exposure of this relationship will change him for ever. Forced to flee Barcelona with his seventeen-year-old daughter, Amalfitano finds himself in Santa Teresa, a sprawling, mythical town on the Mexico-US border, populated by mysterious characters and haunted by dark tales of murdered women. Returning to the the world and characters of 2666, Bolaño's masterpiece, Woes of the True Policeman explores the the power of art, memory and desire - and marks a kaleidoscopic, lyrical and darkly humorous last act in one of the great oeuvres of world literature. TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER ‘Hallucinatory, manic, fearful, comic... Bolaño must be read by anyone who loves the novel’ Herald ‘We savour all he has written as every offering is a portal into the elaborate terrain of his genius’ Patti Smith

Suite Francaise
Author: Irene Nemirovsky
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307371204
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
By the early 1940s, when Ukrainian-born Irène Némirovsky began working on what would become Suite Française—the first two parts of a planned five-part novel—she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz: a month later she was dead at the age of thirty-nine. Two years earlier, living in a small village in central France—where she, her husband, and their two small daughters had fled in a vain attempt to elude the Nazis—she’d begun her novel, a luminous portrayal of a human drama in which she herself would become a victim. When she was arrested, she had completed two parts of the epic, the handwritten manuscripts of which were hidden in a suitcase that her daughters would take with them into hiding and eventually into freedom. Sixty-four years later, at long last, we can read Némirovsky’s literary masterpiece The first part, “A Storm in June,” opens in the chaos of the massive 1940 exodus from Paris on the eve of the Nazi invasion during which several families and individuals are thrown together under circumstances beyond their control. They share nothing but the harsh demands of survival—some trying to maintain lives of privilege, others struggling simply to preserve their lives—but soon, all together, they will be forced to face the awful exigencies of physical and emotional displacement, and the annihilation of the world they know. In the second part, “Dolce,” we enter the increasingly complex life of a German-occupied provincial village. Coexisting uneasily with the soldiers billeted among them, the villagers—from aristocrats to shopkeepers to peasants—cope as best they can. Some choose resistance, others collaboration, and as their community is transformed by these acts, the lives of these these men and women reveal nothing less than the very essence of humanity. Suite Française is a singularly piercing evocation—at once subtle and severe, deeply compassionate and fiercely ironic—of life and death in occupied France, and a brilliant, profoundly moving work of art.
