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.
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...
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...

Nélida Piñon en la república 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...

Oxford Anthology of the Brazilian Short Story
The Oxford Anthology of the Brazilian Short Story contains a selection of short stories by the best-known authors in Brazilian literature from the late nineteenth century to the present. With few exceptions, these stories have appeared in English translation, although widely separated in time and often published in obscure journals. Here they are united in a coherent edition representing Brazil's modern, vibrant literature and culture. J.M. Machado de Assis, who first perfected the genre, wrote at least sixty stories considered to be masterpieces of world literature. Ten of his stories are included here, and are accompanied by strong and diverse representations of the contemporary story in B...
