One Hundred Years After Tomorrow
"Appearing for the first time in English, these stories express the anguish and courage of women from their different classes and regions as they recognize their common restlessness and forge a new consciousness." —Booklist " . . . provocative . . . Although not all the pieces are outwardly political, there is a political edge to the book; the tone of the stories is bleak as they tell of Brazilian women's struggles with government, society, men and their own private demons. Sadlier's able translations retain a distinctive voice and style for each writer." —Publishers Weekly "Sadlier . . . has done a service to students of Comparative Literature and Women's Studies as well as to general r...
Melhores Contos Nelida Piñon
Em sua coleção Melhores Contos, a Global Editora traz um volume dedicado a Nélida Piñon. Autora de mais de 20 livros e com uma trajetória consagrada e admirada, Nélida nasceu para vencer distâncias e cruzar fronteiras. Colecionadora de prêmios de grande relevância, como Príncipe de Astúrias – Letras, Nélida abriu novas possibilidades para as escritoras brasileiras e para a literatura nacional como um todo, desbravando espaços internacionais que até então não haviam sido ocupados por nossos autores. Neste volume, o 38o da coleção dirigida pela escritora e dramaturga Edla van Steen, a apresentação e a seleção da coletânea ficaram a cargo do escritor e crítico Miguel Sanches Neto. Com uma linguagem elegante, um forte olhar feminino sobre o que existe e personagens que, mesmo em situações dolorosas, celebram a vida, Nélida Piñon pode ser considerada como a mais universal das escritoras brasileiras. Esta reunião de contos apresenta a essência de sua arte literária, onde a preocupação com o humano tem um lugar de destaque.

Nélida Piñon en la Republica de los Sueños
La obra literaria de Nélida Piñon se asienta sobre tres pilares fundamentales: su país, sus orígenes españoles y la escritura en sí. Brasil y España conforman los dos polos geográficos entre los que se desarrolla la visión nelidiana del mundo en general («Desde la más tierna infancia he sentido los efectos de la doble cultura. Destinada a reivindicar el mundo desde un punto de vista doble», dirá) y de la literatura en particular, mientras escribir es para la autora el modo de relacionarse con el mundo y un instrumento que le permite explicarse a sí misma. Como reflejo de esta necesidad de ser interpretada en esa multiplicidad de facetas, en este libro se recogen todas las dimen...

Acts of Narrative Resistance
This exploration of women's autobiographical writings in the Americas focuses on three specific genres: testimonio, metafiction, and the family saga as the story of a nation. What makes Laura J. Beard’s work distinctive is her pairing of readings of life narratives by women from different countries and traditions. Her section on metafiction focuses on works by Helena Parente Cunha, of Brazil, and Luisa Futoranksy, of Argentina; the family sagas explored are by Ana María Shua and Nélida Piñon, of Argentina and Brazil, respectively; and the section on testimonio highlights narratives by Lee Maracle and Shirley Sterling, from different Indigenous nations in British Columbia. In these texts...

Women's Fiction from Latin America
Evelyn Picon Garfield has chosen selections from the prose works of twelve female authors representing seven Latin American countries to create a collection which speaks to a variety of issues and exhibits a pastiche of richly varied artistic styles. Containing short stories, a one-act play, and excerpts from novels, the volume touches on such topics as political commitment and persecution, regional ethnicity of African and Indian cultures, social issues between classes and races, misogyny, the complexities of the human psyche, and female solidarity. Garfield includes works from the six authors she interviewed for her Women's Voices from Latin America, and has added selections from six other writers including Isabel Allende and Clarice Lispector.
Trágico na Reescritura de Nélida Piñon em A Força do Destino
Este livro consiste no estudo do modo trágico na reescritura de A força do destino, de Nélida Piñon, da ópera à tragicomédia. Nélida Piñon, escritora brasileira, realiza em sua construção literária a intertextualização com os clássicos da literatura universal. A obra corpus, publicada em 1977, mantém intrínseco encadeamento com a ópera de Giuseppe Verdi, encenada em 1862, com base no drama espanhol intitulado Don Álvaro o La forza del destino. Desse modo, o trágico e o cômico se entrelaçam na obra, compondo a nova via intertextualidade.
