Lost Paradise
From “one of the greatest modern novelists” comes a haunting tale of angels, art, and modern love (A. S. Byatt). In Lost Paradise, Cees Nooteboom sets out to connect two seemingly unrelated strangers whom he has glimpsed on his travels, and to explore the major impact that small interactions can have on the course of our journeys. A beautiful woman aboard a Berlin-bound flight becomes Alma, a young lady who leaves her parents’ São Paulo home on a hot summer night in a fit of depression. Her car engine dies in one of the city’s most dangerous favelas, a mob surrounds her, and she is pulled from the automobile. To escape her memory of the assault, she flees across the world, to Austra...

Milton, Rights and Liberties
On July 14th, 1790, a key figure in the French Revolution honoured Milton as a founding father of the French republic. In the light of this connection, it was appropriate that the 8th International Milton Symposium (7-11 June 2005) was held in Grenoble, cradle of the French Revolution. But the connection of Milton and Rights takes us well beyond the specific link with France, and the fascinating selection of essays assembled in this volume, many by leading Milton scholars, addresses the question in the poetry as well as the prose. Milton's fervent but changing attitude to liberties is debated from various points of view, so that the volume contains essays on topics ranging from the musical adaptations of Samson Agonistes to its angrily argued parallel with contemporary terrorism, from air pollution in Paradise Lost to Milton's supposed Puritanism and putative parallels with a French pornographer.

Prefácio ao Paraíso Perdido
Em Prefácio ao Paraíso perdido, C. S. Lewis demonstra sua experiência como professor de literatura ao analisar o poema épico "Paraíso Perdido", um clássico da literatura inglesa escrito por John Milton que reconta a história da Queda da humanidade, da tentação de Satanás e da expulsão de Adão e Eva do Jardim do Éden. Nesse percurso, Lewis trabalha tanto os elementos temáticos como formais da obra de Milton, discutindo a forma épica e os clássicos do gênero – entre eles, a Ilíada, a Eneida e o poema medieval Beowolf. Com clareza e precisão, o autor fornece respostas perspicazes que aprofundam nossa compreensão dessa forma literária e conferem significado ao poema de Milton, inspirando seus leitores a revisitá-lo. Por fim, Lewis nos lembra porque elementos como o ritual e o solene ocupavam – e merecem voltar a ocupar – um lugar sagrado na vida humana.
