Book Description
A Volta do Parafuso - The Turn of the Screw, de Henry James enquadra-se bem no gênero novela, em que o autor foi particularmente bem-sucedido, constituindo um paradigma desse formato. Em seu aparecimento - em quatro partes, nos primeiros meses de 1898 - foi considerado um dos maiores triunfos literários do autor, mas foi também tido como seu trabalho mais enigmático e controvertido. Fez enorme sucesso e tornou-se um dos trabalhos mais populares do autor. Mas, 'A Volta do Parafuso' provocou polêmica, porque nunca ficou claro se a preceptora, que narra a história de um casal de crianças possuído pelos espíritos de um criado de quarto e uma antecessora de sua função num casarão antigo em Bly, interior da Inglaterra, eram reais ou apenas fruto de uma imaginação obsessiva. Pelo viés da análise freudiana da reprimida sexualidade da era vitoriana, a preceptora, cheia de romantismo exaltado e sem experiência sexual alguma, podia ser vista como narradora altamente 'suspeita'. A nova edição bilíngue, em sua segunda edição, conta com a apurada tradução do jornalista, escritor e crítico de cinema Chico Lopes, que resgatou a história poderosamente sugestiva e que pode ir sendo descascada, camada por camada, sem que um miolo unívoco seja atingido. Entre as intenções de James e as interpretações que a novela suscitou, há um abismo curiosamente 'jamesiano'.

Book Description
Translation Translation contributes to current debate on the question of translation dealt with in an interdisciplinary perspective, with implications not only of a theoretical order but also of the didactic and the practical orders. In the context of globalization the question of translation is fundamental for education and responds to new community needs with reference to Europe and more extensively to the international world. In its most obvious sense translation concerns verbal texts and their relations among different languages. However, to remain within the sphere of verbal signs, languages consist of a plurality of different languages that also relate to each other through translation processes. Moreover, translation occurs between verbal languages and nonverbal languages and among nonverbal languages without necessarily involving verbal languages. Thus far the allusion is to translation processes within the sphere of anthroposemiosis. But translation occurs among signs and the signs implicated are those of the semiosic sphere in its totality, which are not exclusively signs of the linguistic-verbal order. Beyond anthroposemiosis, translation is a fact of life and invests the entire biosphere or biosemiosphere, as clearly evidenced by research in “biosemiotics”, for where there is life there are signs, and where there are signs or semiosic processes there is translation, indeed semiosic processes are translation processes. According to this approach reflection on translation obviously cannot be restricted to the domain of linguistics but must necessarily involve semiotics, the general science or theory of signs. In this theoretical framework essays have been included not only from major translation experts, but also from researchers working in different areas, in addition to semiotics and linguistics, also philosophy, literary criticism, cultural studies, gender studies, biology, and the medical sciences. All scholars work on problems of translation in the light of their own special competencies and interests.

Pages : 192
Book Description
The Turn of the Screw is a departure in a sense for Henry James it is a ghost story rather than a story of Americans and Europeans involved in romantic struggles. The Turn of the Screw begins in an old house on Christmas Eve where an old man tells a ghostly tale involving his sister's governess who saw ghosts many years ago. The governess had been left in the complete charge of two children, Miles and Flora, by their uncle. He wants nothing to do with them and tells her she must deal with any issue that arises.
