This book argues that the poetry of César Vallejo announces the event, as a moment of irruption of a truth that destabilises the usual state of reality. It studies the emergence of a subject who affirms a truth that exceeds the law, interrupts hegemonic repetition, asserts universal solidarity, and defends "lost causes" despite political failure. The author reconfigures the traditional reading of Vallejo only as a poet of pain and human suffering, and offers new ways of understanding the relationship between poetry and politics.

The End centers on five friends in Rio de Janeiro who, nearing the end of their lives, are left with memories—of parties, marriages, divorces, fixations, inhibitions, bad decisions—and the physical indignities of aging. Alvaro lives alone and spends his time going from doctor to doctor and bemoaning the evils of his ex-wife. Silvio is a junkie who can’t give up the excesses of sex and drugs even in his old age. Ribeiro is an athletic beach bum enjoying a prolonged sex life thanks to Viagra. Neto is the square member of the group, a faithful husband until his last days. And Ciro is the Don Juan envied by all—but the first to die, struck down by cancer. For all of them, successful careers, personal revelations, and Zen serenity are out of the question, blocked by a seemingly insurmountable wall of frustrations. Orbiting around them are a priest questioning his vocation and a cast of complicated women, neglected and embattled by these self-involved men. Edgy and wise, this tragicomic debut delves into taboo subjects—death, infidelity, impotence, the difficulties of marriage—with unsentimental honesty, and brings Rio and these characters to life in full color.
Existe una mitología muy extendida que entiende a la creación literaria como el resultado de la súbita inspiración del escritor. Esta concepción romántica del hecho creativo aleja a la obra de su productor, pues su origen queda oculto en la ´llamada de las musas´. Entender a la escritura como un proceso, por el contrario, permite situarla en el lugar del trabajo. Como señala Joyce, cada obra literaria es un “work in progress”, en donde deben ponerse en juego diversas facetas que acompañan el proceso de escritura: la planificación, la corrección, la investigación. Identificar los mecanismos de construcción de los textos, reconocerlos y dominarlos es lo que le permite al escr...
Goethe e seu tempo, décima obra da coleção Biblioteca Lukács, traz um conjunto de cinco ensaios do filósofo húngaro escritos durante a década de 1930 e dedicados à obra de Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Considerado um dos pontos culminantes da literatura humanista burguesa, Goethe tem sua trajetória esmiuçada e contraposta à de outros contemporâneos seus, em uma análise engajada do grande romance moderno e de seu conteúdo progressista. Os dois primeiros textos tratam de obras específicas de Goethe e sua construção, ao passo que os três seguintes discutem o contexto social e literário no qual o escritor estava imerso, propondo percepções originais a respeito das motivações, contradições e desafios enfrentados por sua obra.
