Autora: Eliane Cristina Perry A proposta desta dissertação é a leitura em cotejo de dois textos representativos das literaturas de Portugal e da Itália no século XX, respectivamente, Memorial do convento (1982), de José Saramago (1922-2010), e Il Gattopardo (1958), de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa (1896-1957). Após a análise dos textos, verificamos de que forma as histórias foram reconfiguradas na ficção e de que modo foram representadas a identidade portuguesa e a dos sículo-italianos para estabelecer um contraponto entre os textos, no que concerne à história e à identidade.

A lyrical celebration of storytelling, of childhood, and of the transformative power of music. Tracing a circular course that echoes Bach’s Goldberg Variations , Luis Sagasti’s second book to appear in English takes the guise of a musical scheherazade, recounting story after story, vibrating to celestial harmonies. From the music born of the sun to the music sent into space on the Voyager mission, from Rothko to rock music, from the composers of the concentration camps to a weeping room for Argentinian conscripts in the Falklands, A Musical Offering traverses the shifting sands of fiction and history.
In 1930s Bucharest, some of the country’s most brilliant young intellectuals converged to form the Criterion Association. Bound by friendship and the dream of a new, modern Romania, their members included historian Mircea Eliade, critic Petru Comarnescu, Jewish playwright Mihail Sebastian and a host of other philosophers and artists. Together, they built a vibrant cultural scene that flourished for a few short years, before fascism and scandal splintered their ranks. Cristina A. Bejan asks how the far-right Iron Guard came to eclipse the appeal of liberalism for so many of Romania’s intellectual elite, drawing on diaries, memoirs and other writings to examine the collision of culture and extremism in the interwar years. The first English-language study of Criterion and the most thorough to date in any language, this book grapples with the complexities of Romanian intellectual life in the moments before collapse.
