Fernando Pessoa
Author: Dr Jerónimo PizarroPublisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1782846964
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
A Critical Introduction proposes a new didactic and dynamic way of reading the great twentieth-century poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935). The aim is to present a holistic vision of this complex poet, promoting his literary geniality in order to better understand his orthonymic-heteronymic poetry. A guiding motif is Pessoa's own Be as plural as the universe. In leading the reader through the poet's published literary work, Jerónimo Pizarro allows an intimate perspective, alongside an academic one, to better understand the workings of Pessoa's mind and life. Discussion centres on the dilemmas an editor faces when editing posthumously. A prime question revolves around the genesis of Pessoa's heteronyms and orthonyms. Understanding is revealed by a critical perspective on the unity that exists in all of Pessoa's literary work. Interpretations of the poems; explanation of the profundity of The Book of Disquiet; and his isms of Paulism, Caeirism, Intersectionism and Cessationism, are discussed and analysed. The issue of Pessoa's astrological predictions his birth year and the effects of this event on Portuguese national history is debated. A chapter is devoted to the effect that translating Omar Khayyám's Rubáiyát had on the poet. The work contains eleven texts written by Pessoa in English (including an autobiographical note from 1935), a substantive dual language bibliography, and is highly illustrated with facsimiles of the poet's own written material. A Critical Introduction is essential reading for all scholars and students of Pessoa's literary output and life circumstances. The work has been written to appeal to cultural studies (arts and aesthetics) enthusiasts in general at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, but given the engagement of new critical material it also provides a structured resource for future research.

Book Description
El ciclo de fa!bulas de animales del "e;Panchatantra"e;, compilado en sa!nscrito hace casi dos mil aaAos, reaAne los relatos hindaAes ma!s difundidos a lo largo de los siglos por todo el mundo, desde China hasta EtiopaA-a. "e;Kalila y Dimna"e; forma parte del ciclo de fa!bulas de animales del "e;Panchatantra"e;, y es sin duda una de las obras ma!s populares de la literatura universal. En Europa circulaA traducida del a!rabe, a partir del siglo XIII, y su influencia va desde Ramon Llull, Chaucer, Boccacio o Cervantes hasta La Fontaine. Esta formidable versiaAn de Ramsay Wood no saAlo moderniza los antiguos relatos Acomo antaaAo hicieron las traducciones medievalesA, sino que combina las principales versiones del sa!nscrito, el persa, el a!rabe e incluso el inglaA(c)s antiguo. Narradas por Wood A--y magnaA-ficamente ilustradas--A, las fa!bulas del sabio Bidpai recobran los brillantes colores de los tapices hindaAes y se nos revelan de nuevo como una obra maestra: el jovial relato de las aventuras de animales nobles a veces, paA-caros a menudo, pero siempre esponta!neos, nos devuelve la imagen de las pasiones humanas en toda su ambivalencia."e;Una obra que se nos presenta limpia de polvo arqueolaAgico, en un sabroso castellano contempora!neo (gran versiaAn de Nicole d'Amonville AlegraA-a), que a su vez trabaja sobre una modaA(c)lica traducciaAn moderna inglesa. AQuaA(c) nos maravilla hoy mismo en tan remoto libro? Su fresca fantasaA-a, la sabiduraA-a moral que esconde, la juguetona astucia con que cuenta los avatares de leopardos cornejas, camellos o chinches, y la condiciaAn oral que procura siempre mantener, y que permite que el argumento ofrezca deliciosos quiebros y sorpresas"e; Carles Barba, La Vanguardia Culturas
