Collection of Brazilian literatura de cordel
Literatura de cordel is a genre of folk literature popular in the northeastern region of Brazil. From The Cambridge history of Latin American literature: " ... there is a large and vibrant printed literature known as literatura de cordel (the name refers to the cord on which the little booklets were customarily suspended for display.)" Popular topics include "a wide array of journalistic accounts, religious fables, comic escapades, and love and adventure stories which might feature regional figures such as the northeastern bandits known as cangaceiros." (Candace Slater, The Cambridge history of Latin American literature, 1996, pp. 315-316.).
Portraits of Medea in Portugal during the 20th and 21st Centuries
The central episode in the Portuguese rewritings of Medea is the break between the Asiatic princess and Jason, on the one hand, and Medea’s killing of their children in retaliation, on the other. The enthusiasm for the great classical plots and the challenge to remodel the Classics are the main motivation behind the Portuguese rewritings.
Raul Brandão, um intelectual no entre-séculos (Estudos para Luci Ruas)
Após anos de espera silenciosa, o mercado editorial brasileiro conta agora com este Raul Brandão, um intelectual no entre-séculos (Estudos para Luci Ruas), que vem suprir uma severa lacuna nos estudos sobre a obra de Raul Brandão, escritor português dos finais do século XIX e primeiras décadas do século XX. Experimentador do processo de heteronímia (antes, portanto, de Fernando Pessoa criar os seus famosos heterônimos), e arauto do fim-de-século – com a sua estética e filosofia decadentistas –, Raul Brandão está devidamente estudado neste volume, que reúne 18 ensaios (entre os quais a republicação de um texto da professora Luci Ruas) sobre os mais variados aspectos da arte brandoniana, escritor que pode, indubitavelmente, ser considerado o ponto de viragem para a modernidade, não apenas em Portugal, mas no conjunto das literaturas em língua portuguesa. Passando por quase todas as obras de Raul Brandão, incluindo uma seção específica sobre o seu Teatro – nos quais se fazem constar 4 ensaios –, o livro agora em mãos do leitor figura, desde já, como bibliografia essencial para o estudioso iniciante ou experimentado na literatura brandoniana.

Nation Iroquoise
Nation Iroquoise presents an intriguing mystery.
