A tirania dos especialistas

O novo livro do autor de A poeira da glória. Depois de bagunçar a cânone cultural brasileiro em A poeira da glória (2015), Martim Vasques da Cunha dedica-se agora a um exercício que podíamos intitular, à Kubrick, "como deixei de me preocupar e passei a amar Bolsonaro". Esse hipotético título só não seria justo porque aqui não se trata exclusivamente do caso Bolsonaro, porque não há sequer amores sarcásticos e porque as preocupações continuam justificadíssimas. No entanto, é indiscutível que o sucesso de Trump, Farage e Bolsonaro hegemonizou o catastrofismo no debate público, e que esse fenômeno incomoda Marfim, que o atribui a uma impotência da imaginação liberal.

A poeira da glória

O livro que até mesmo o politicamente incorreto considerou imprudente. Na contramão da análise convencional da literatura brasileira, Martim Vasques da Cunha ousa ao escrever o que estremeceu até mesmo o politicamente incorreto: em A poeira da glória, ele desmonta as teses sustentadas pela repetição da crítica, rechaça o estilo que falseia a sensibilidade moral e recoloca as ideias no lugar ao apontar como e quando a ideologia política envenenou a imaginação artística. Aos que pensavam que a crítica cultural no Brasil – mais que a simplesmente literária – havia encontrado "o fim da história" em Antonio Candido e seus discípulos, uma imensa surpresa: Martim recoloca todas as peças no tabuleiro, inclusive a de Candido. Dono de um texto que convence o leitor por nocaute de argumentos, o ensaísta mostra em detalhes como o país foi brutalizado pela paranoia e mistificação a respeito de si mesmo, de tal maneira que se transformou em um grande "Carandiru intelectual", o paraíso distópico onde a realidade brasileira gira em falso.

The Chronicles of Fernão Lopes

This 5 volume set represents the first complete English translation of one of the major chronicles of medieval Europe, by 'the father of Portuguese historiography' Covering the reigns of Pedro I, Fernando I and João I up to the signing of the 1411 treaty with Castile which confirmed the survival of the Portuguese kingdom, the chronicles provide a wealth of detail on late fourteenth-century politics, diplomacy, warfare and economic matters, courtly society, queenship and noble women, as well as more mundane concerns such as food, health and the purchasing power of a fluctuating currency. Lopes had a keen eye for detail and a perspective especially attuned to the common people, and his chronicles provide an invaluable source for the history of Western Europe in the later Middle Ages. The first four volumes are accompanied by introductions and bibliographies setting the translations in context, and the fifth volume contains a general bibliography and a comprehensive general index encompassing all of the chronicles.

The Chronicles of Fernão Lopes

Volume V of the first complete English translation of the chronicles of Fernão Lopes, containing the general bibliography and a comprehensive index containing all people and place names mentioned in the chronicles Until now, the chronicles of Fernão Lopes (c.1380-c.1460) have only been available in critical editions or in partial translations. Comparable to the works of Froissart in France or López de Ayala in Spain, the chronicles provide a wealth of detail on late fourteenth-century politics, diplomacy, warfare and economic matters, courtly society, queenship and noble women, as well as more mundane concerns such as food, health and the purchasing power of a fluctuating currency. Lopes had a keen eye for detail and a perspective especially attuned to the common people, and his chronicles provide an invaluable source for the history of Western Europe in the later Middle Ages.
