Описание: In these memoirs, Braz Cubas, a wealthy nineteenth-century Brazilian, examines (from beyond the grave) his rather undistinguished life in 160 short chapters that are filled with philosophical digressions and exuberant insights. A clear forerunner of Gabriel García Márquez and Jorge Luis Borges, "Epitaph for a Small Winner," first published in 1880, is one of the wittiest self-portraits in literary history as well as “one of the masterpieces of Brazilian literature” (Salman Rushdie).

Описание:
A scholar of Hellenistic and Prussian history, Droysen developed a historical theory that at the time was unprecedented in range and depth, and which remains to the present day a valuable key for understanding history as both an idea and a professional practice. Arthur Alfaix Assis interprets Droysen’s theoretical project as an attempt to redefine the function of historiography within the context of a rising criticism of exemplar theories of history, and focuses on Droysen’s claim that the goal underlying historical writing and reading should be the development of the subjective capacity to think historically. In addition, Assis examines the connections and disconnections between Droysen’s theory of historical thinking, his practice of historical thought, and his political activism. Ultimately, Assis not only shows how Droysen helped reinvent the relationship between historical knowledge and human agency, but also traces some of the contradictions and limitations inherent to that project.

Описание: Prophetic sayings are generally a reaction to immediate realities, and therefore attempts to understand prophetic literature without the benefit of the prophet's historical milieu are limited or inaccurate. Contrary to the prevailing opinion that Joel is post-exilic, the book is located within the exilic period, recognising the lack of any rebuke consistent with a people experiencing deep despair. The Book of Joel places great emphasis on the motif of the divine presence residing in the midst of Israel, and it is asserted that the prophet's main purpose was to bring the people to renew their connection with the Lord after the destruction of the Temple, which, though physically ruined, had not lost its religious significance. A literary and rhetorical analysis demonstrates how the prophet sought to influence his audience. Literary devices and rhetorical tools are investigated, and their relevance and contribution to the book's meanings are explored. One central feature of the book is its focus on a detailed discussion of the position and purpose of the locust plague, employing recent literary approaches.

Описание: Bem-vindo ao universo extraordinario de Machado de Assis, um dos maiores vultos da literatura Luso-Brasileira de sempre. Nesta edi o de Quincas Borba, trazemos at si a melhor edi o esta admir vel pe a liter ria do final do s culo XIX. Quincas Borba um romance escrito por Machado de Assis, desenvolvido em princ pio como folhetim na revista A Esta o, entre os anos de 1886 e 1891, para ser publicado definitivamente em 1892. No processo de adapta o de folhetim para livro o autor realizou algumas mudan as m nimas, mas significativas. Seguindo Mem rias P stumas de Br s Cubas (1881), este livro considerado pela cr tica moderna o segundo da trilogia realista de Machado de Assis, em que o autor esteve preocupado em utilizar o pessimismo e a ironia para criticar os costumes e a filosofia de seu tempo, embora n o subtraia res duos rom nticos da trama. Ao contr rio do romance anterior, no entanto, Quincas Borba foi escrito em terceira pessoa, a fim de contar a hist ria de Rubi o, ing nuo rapaz que torna-se disc pulo e herdeiro do fil sofo Quincas Borba, personagem do romance anterior, e que, sendo enganado por seu amigo capitalista Cristiano e sua esposa Sofia, paix o de Rubi o, vive na pele todo o fundamento te rico do Humanitismo, filosofia fict cia daquele fil sofo. Quincas Borba, de fato, foca-se melhor nos temas secund rios do romance anterior. Estes incluem uma par dia ao cientificismo e ao evolucionismo da poca, bem como ao positivismo de Comte e lei do mais forte, uma adapta o da sele o natural de Charles Darwin a n vel social. O livro tem recebido v rios estudos e interpreta es ao longo do tempo, sobretudo sociol gicos, que o consideram um romance que trata principalmente da transforma o do homem em objeto do homem e a sua "coisifica o." Quincas Borba, um dos que mais interesse tem despertado em novas edi es e tradu es para outras l nguas, est entre os principais livros da obra machadiana. Esperamos que tenha tanto prazer a ler esta obra cl ssica quanto aquele que n s, Cascais Classic Editions, tivemos a trazer-lha at si. Deixe-se levar pelos sonhos... Oliver Garrett

Nesta edi o deDom Casmurro, trazemos at si a melhor edi o esta admir vel pe a liter ria do final do s culo XIX, e in cio do s culo XX. Dom Casmurro um romance escrito por Machado de Assis em 1899. Foi escrito para sair diretamente em livro, o que ocorreu em 1900, embora com data do ano anterior. Completa a "trilogia realista" de Machado de Assis, ao lado de Mem rias P stumas de Br s Cubas e Quincas Borba, tendo sido esses dois escritos primeiramente em folhetins. Seu personagem principal Bento Santiago, o narrador da hist ria que, contada em primeira pessoa, pretende "atar as duas pontas da vida," ou seja, unir relatos desde sua mocidade at os dias em que est escrevendo o livro. Entre esses dois momentos Bento escreve sobre suas reminisc ncias da juventude, sua vida no semin rio, seu caso com Capitu e o ci me que adv m desse relacionamento, que se torna o enredo central da trama. Ambientado no Rio de Janeiro do Segundo Imp rio, se inicia com um epis dio que seria recente em que o narrador recebe a alcunha de "Dom Casmurro," da o t tulo do romance. Machado de Assis o escreveu utilizando ferramentas liter rias como a ironia e uma intertextualidade que alcan a Schopenhauer e sobretudo a pe a Otelo de Shakespeare. Ao longo dos anos, Dom Casmurro, com seus temas como o ci me, a ambiguidade de Capitu, o retrato moral da poca e o car ter do narrador, recebeu in meros estudos, adapta es para outras m dias e sofreu in meras interpreta es, desde psicol gicas e psicanal ticas na cr tica liter ria dos anos 30 e dos anos 40, passando pelo feminismo na d cada de 1970 at sociol gicas da d cada de 1980, e adiante. Creditado como um precursor do Modernismo e de ideias posteriormente escritas por Sigmund Freud, o livro influenciou os escritores John Barth, Graciliano Ramos e Dalton Trevisan e considerado por alguns a obra-prima de Machado de Assis. Al m de ter sido traduzido para outras l nguas, continua a ser um de seus livros mais famosos e considerado um dos mais fundamentais de toda a literatura brasileira.
