J. Borges by J. Borges
Com o prefácio do cineasta Vladimir Carvalho e a organização de Clodo Ferreira, a obra, ricamente ilustrada com as reproduções das gravuras de J. Borges, é estruturada em quatro partes; a primeira é a transcrição da fala do artista com o vigor de sua expressividade, sendo uma forma agradável de conhecer seu pensamento. A segunda parte apresenta um ensaio de Jeová Franklin sobre gravura, cordel e sua significação para a cultura brasileira. Na terceira, é apresentada a reprodução integral de seu cordel, Nazaré e Damião, o triunfo do amor, entre a vingança e a morte. E, por fim, a última parte traz a biografia de J. Borges acompanhada do catálogo de suas principais obras em cordel e gravura. Por se tratar de uma edição bilíngüe (português/inglês) a obra oferece a um público mais amplo também a oportunidade de conhecer o ritmo, a métrica e a musicalidade da literatura de cordel, tipicamente nordestina.

Borges and Me
LONGLISTED FOR THE HIGHLAND BOOK PRIZE In frantic flight from the Vietnam War, Jay Parini leaves the United States for Scotland. There, through unlikely circumstances, he meets famed Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges. The pair embark on a trip to the Scottish Highlands, and on the way the charmingly garrulous Borges takes Parini on a grand tour of western literature and ideas while promising to teach him about love and poetry. Borges and Me is a classic road novel, based on true events. It’s also a magical tour of an era – like our own – in which uncertainties abound, and when – as ever – it’s the young and the old who hear voices and dream dreams.
