Book Description
"A condessa de Santa Bárbara ia passada de espanto quando entrou na grade, onde encontrou padre Dinis. Aquele homem apresentava-se-lhe outro, agora. A grandeza do seu passado, as misteriosas desventuras da sua vida, o heroísmo do sacerdote ungido pelas lágrimas de uma paixão eterna, gravada sempre naquela fisionomia macerada, o mistério, enfim, acobertado no silêncio de dezasseis anos, era o que faltava naquele homem para inculcar-se prestigiosamente a D. Ângela de Lima."

Book Description
"Tentar fazer um romance é um desejo inocente. Baptizá-lo com um título pomposo é um pretexto ridículo. Apanhar uma nomenclatura, estafada e velha, insculpi-la no frontispício de um livro, e ficar orgulhoso de ter um padrinho original, isso, meus caros leitores, é uma patranha de que eu não sou capaz. Este romance não é meu filho, nem meu afilhado. Se eu me visse assaltado pela tentação de escrever a vida oculta de Lisboa, não era capaz de alinhavar dois capítulos com jeito. O que eu conheço de Lisboa são os relevos, que se destacam nos quadros de todas as populações com foro de cidades e de vilas. Isso não vale a honra do romance. Recursos de imaginação, se os eu tivera, não viria consumi-los aqui em unia tarefa inglória. E, sem esses recursos, pareceu-me sempre impossível escrever os mistérios de uma terra, que não tem nenhuns, e, inventados, ninguém os crê."

The Cinema of Ral Ruiz
Author: Michael GoddardPublisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 023116730X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Raúl Ruiz, while considered one of the world's most significant filmmakers by several film critics, is yet to be the subject of any thorough engagement with his work in English. This volume sets out on this task by mapping, as fully as possible, Ruiz's cinematic trajectory across more than five decades of prolific work, up to his death in 2011; ranging from his earliest work in Chile to high-budget 'European' costume dramas culminating in Mysteries of Lisbon (2010). It does so by treating Ruiz's work – with its surrealist, magic realist, popular cultural, and neo-Baroque sources – as a type of 'impossible' cinematic cartography, mapping real, imaginary, and virtual spaces, and crossing between different cultural contexts, aesthetic strategies, and technical media. It argues that across the different phases of Ruiz's work identified, there are key continuities such as the invention of singular cinematic images and the interrogation of their possible and impossible combinations.
A Companion to Portuguese Literature
Author: Thomas Foster EarlePublisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
ISBN: 1855662671
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This companion volume offers an introduction to European Portuguese literature for university-level readers. It consists of a chronological overview of Portuguese literature from the twelfth century to the present day, by some of the most distinguished literary scholars of recent years, leading into substantial essays centred on major authors, genres or periods, and a study of the history of translations. It does not attempt an encyclopaedic coverage of Portuguese literature, but provides essential chronological and bibliographical information on all major authors and genres, with more extensive treatment of key works and literary figures, and a particular focus on the modern period. It is unashamedly canonical rather than thematic in its examination of central authors and periods, without neglecting female writers. In this way it provides basic reference materials for students beginning the study of Portuguese literature, and for a wider audience looking for general or specific information. The editors have made a principled decision to exclude both Brazilian and African literature, which demand separate treatment. STEPHEN PARKINSON, CLAUDIA PAZOS ALONSO and T. F. EARLE are all members of the Sub-Faculty of Portuguese at the University of Oxford. CONTRIBUTORS: Vanda Anast cio, Helena Carvalhao Buescu, Rip Cohen, T. F. Earle, David Frier, Lu s Gomes, Mariana Gray de Castro, Helder Macedo, Patricia Odber de Baubeta, Hilary Owen, Stephen Parkinson, Cl udia Pazos Alonso, Juliet Perkins, Teresa Pinto Coelho, Phillip Rothwell, Mark Sabine, Claire Williams, Clive Willis.
Fernando Pessoa
Author: José Paulo Cavalcanti FilhoPublisher: Mimesis
ISBN: 8869772489
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 1483
Book Description
Writing a biography about Pessoa is a seemingly impossible task. The great Portuguese poet did not have just one life, but his existence virtually exploded in over a hundred different personalities. Only by placing oneself close to Pessoa, only by becoming almost one with him, is it possible to trace the life of this poet who was himself a multitude. José Paulo Cavalcanti has done such a thing, sewing together a path that runs through Pessoa’s multiple voices and personalities, seamlessly moving in and out of the poet’s work, daily habits and interactions. Following the great success of the Brazilian edition, Fernando Pessoa. A quasi Memoir is the first English translation of the book, and it provides new insights on the complex nature of the Portuguese poet.
