![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Along with other early twentieth-century works such as The Masters and the Slaves by Gilberto Freyre and The Colonial Background of Modern Brazil by Caio Prado Júnior, Roots of Brazil set the parameters of Brazilian historiography for a generation and continues to offer keys to understanding the complex history of Brazil. Buarque de Holanda uses Max Weber’s typological criteria to establish pairs of "ideal types" as a means of stressing particular characteristics of Brazilians, while also trying to understand and explain the local historical process. Buarque de Holanda argues that all of these originary influences were transformed into a unique Brazilian culture and society-a "transition zone." The book presents an understanding of why and how European culture flourished in a large, tropical environment that was totally foreign to its traditions, and the manner and consequences of this development. Roots of Brazil focuses on the multiple cultural influences that forged twentieth-century Brazil, especially those of the Portuguese, the Spanish, other European colonists, Native Americans, and Africans. Originally published in 1936, it appears here for the first time in an English language translation with a foreword, "Why Read Roots of Brazil Today?" by Pedro Meira Monteiro, one of the world's leading experts on Buarque de Holanda. ![]() Sérgio Buarque de Holanda's Roots of Brazil is one of the iconic books on Brazilian history, society, and culture. ![]() ![]() ![]() This especially applies to travel photos/questions and language/translation questions.

Ray Bradbury is often a science fiction writer that non science fiction readers think of when they think of a science fiction writer. Bradbury hopes his slight of hand distraction will keep the reader from looking behind the curtain, but I think many hardcore SF readers get hung up on that and shout, “Cheat!” If you take the story apart looking for the science fictional technology that creates lions that dine on parents you won’t find it. “The Veldt” could be filmed today, modernizing the story, and the allegory would work with the Internet, computer games, or even iPods. ![]() Essentially, the tale is an allegory that says the new technology loved by the young will kill off the older generation. ![]() “The Veldt” appears to be Bradbury’s reaction to the deployment of television in 1950. When does science fiction work even when it’s broken? “ The Veldt” is the opening short story in Ray Bradbury’s classic collection The Illustrated Man, and it’s a highly effective story that doesn’t make much sense if you try to take it apart. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Told with the clarity of a fable, Haven transports us into territories unknown, where ‘fog makes an island of every man.’ Donoghue’s men of the cloth confront challenges that rattle not only their faith in God, but their faith in each other and in the natural world. Their foolish destruction of the island’s resources will resonate with contemporary readers, but she refuses to reduce these characters to symbols of modern exigencies…The effect is transporting, sometimes unsettling and eventually shocking.” - Ron Charles, The Washington Post What is Divine Grace? Purity of soul? Virtue? Not what they think.” - creates an eerie, meditative atmosphere that should resonate with anyone willing to think deeply about the blessings and costs of devoting one’s life to a transcendent cause…Donoghue works subtly in the margins, letting these three men evolve into their distinct roles. #EmmaDonoghue (ROOM) combines pressure-cooker intensity + radical isolation, to stunning effect. ![]() In 7th C, #Ireland, three men set sail to a bird-thick island to find God.

Is there a particular book or author that inspired you to be a writer?ĭefinitely. Sally Seton, Clarissa Dalloway's childhood companion, when we were all young. Which fictional character would you most like to have met? As in, "Stop doing the nooba, boo-boo, it's way past your bedtime." I like it because you can only say it with a smile. To "do the nooba" is to muck around when you're supposed to be going to sleep. It's a word peculiar to my family, although I can't remember where it came from or which of my kids coined it.

Selection number 102 (J288) is a stunning example of the literary brilliance of what has previously been designated (and devalued) as a letter (“Sweet Sue, / There is / no first, or last, / in Forever - ). By weaving the poems, the letters, and the letter poems together into one work, the book vividly demonstrates that the entire corpus of Dickinson’s writing needs to be taken seriously. The book is testimony to the literary importance of Dickinson’s letters and to the poet’s fluid treatment of genre. The volume, arranged chronologically, also includes brief introductions by the editors to each of the four chapters and concludes with extensive textual notes. Spanning thirty-six years (1850–1886), the correspondence contains some twenty poems and one letter newly associated with Susan. The text offers nearly 250 of the poet’s letters, poems and hybrid texts - what Susan termed “letter poems” - and a small handful of extant notes from Susan to Emily. ![]() Open Me Carefully presents selections from Emily Dickinson’s correspondence to her sister-in-law and beloved friend, Susan Huntington Dickinson. ![]() ![]() But while many a man has since wooed the dazzling Olivia Eversea, none has ever won herwhich is why jaws drop when she suddenly accepts a viscount's proposal. until the heir to the staggering Redmond fortune disappears, reviving rumors of an ancient curse: a Redmond and an Eversea are destined to fall disastrously in love once per generation.An Enduring LegendRumor has it she broke Lyon Redmond's heart. ![]() Bound by centuries of bad blood, England's two most powerful families maintain a veneer of civility. ![]() As the day of her wedding races toward them, Lyon and Olivia will decide whether their love is a curse destined to tear their families apart.
