The Betrothed - A. Manzoni
Alessandro Manzoni (Milan, March 7, 1785 — Milan, May 22, 1873) was an Italian writer and poet, one of the most important figures in the literature of his country. Manzoni composed his masterpiece, "I Promessi Sposi" (" The Betrothed"), between 1821 and 1840. The work "The Betrothed" tells the story of two young peasants who intend to marry but are "hindered" by a local lord, Don Rodrigo, who has a network of agents at his disposal. "The Betrothed" is a historical novel that cannot be met with indifference.
The Translator as Mediator of Cultures
If it is bilingualism that transfers information and ideas from culture to culture, it is the translator who systematizes and generalizes this process. The translator serves as a mediator of cultures. In this collection of essays, based on a conference held at the University of Hartford, a group of individuals professional translators, linguists, and literary scholars exchange their views on translation and its power to influence literary traditions and to shape cultural and economic identities. The authors explore the implications of their views on the theory and craft of translation, both written and oral, in an era of unsettling globalizing forces.
Finnegans Wakes
James Joyce's astonishing final text, Finnegans Wake (1939), is universally acknowledged to be entirely untranslatable. And yet, no fewer than fifteen complete renderings of the 628-page text exist to date, in twelve different languages altogether – and at least ten further complete renderings have been announced as underway for publication in the early 2020s, in nine different languages. Finnegans Wakes delineates, for the first time in any language, the international history of these renderings and discusses the multiple issues faced by translators. The book also comments on partial and fragmentary renderings from some thirty languages altogether, including such perhaps unexpected languages as Galician, Guarani, Chinese, Korean, Turkish, and Irish, not to mention Latin and Ancient Egyptian. Excerpts from individual renderings are analysed in detail, together with brief biographical notes on numerous individual translators. Chronicling renderings spanning multiple decades, Finnegans Wakes illustrates the capacity of Joyce's final text to generate an inexhaustible multiplicity of possible meanings among the ever-increasing number of its impossible translations.

Brasil e Italia
Em 2001, o “Seminário sobre as Vanguardas na Itália e no Brasil” discutiu as relações culturais entre os dois países, com foco na literatura, nas belas-artes e na arquitetura. Fruto desse evento, esta coletânea contribui para entender os movimentos de vanguarda de lá e cá. Merecem destaque os seguintes aspectos: as propostas de ruptura com a tradição, a luta contra a “alta cultura” e a negação, ao mesmo tempo, da arte burguesa e da cultura de massa.
Céu, inferno
Além de interpretações das obras de Graciliano Ramos, Guimarães Rosa, Drummond e outros, este livro reúne ensaios sobre autores italianos como Verga, Svevo, Pirandello, Moravia, Montale e Ungaretti, que recebem aqui o foco de uma atenção crítica privilegiada. A presente edição traz quatro novos ensaios - sobre Cecília Meireles, Ferreira Gullar, Mário de Andrade e Benedetto Croce -, além de fotografias e desenhos.
