This cluster of comparative essays opens up new critical and cultural vistas, as much for the English-speaking reader as the Portuguese scholar. The author's foreword sets out with absolute clarity the objectives and scope of his study, in which he will examine the way that poetic imagination is treated by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, arguably Portugal's greatest living poet, as well as by other major writers of the Western and Eastern traditions. In chapter one, basing himself on the theories of Freud and Jung, and taking his examples from a wide-ranging if not eclectic selection of writers (Ted Hughes, Robert Graves and Seamus Heaney among others), Dr Ceia breaks new ground in his quest to explore the ways in which his subjects h

This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This original research explores the poetry of major writers (Sophia de M. Breyner Andresen, Teixeira de Pascoaes, R. M. Rilke, John Donne, John of the Cross, Edward Young, Lao Tzu, William Wordsworth, Walt Whitman) from the viewpoint of comparative literature, presenting a new insight into poetic ingenium through symbolic representations (angels, labyrinths, night visions and the eternal return). The Portuguese contemporary poet Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen is a major reference throughout in the comparative readings of poems portraying symbolic images of creative genius, especially those images captured in numinous awareness of the world.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study locates texts in their relevant temporal and cultural periods to disclose levels of meaning which have been lost to present readers. For the 18th century, it examines not only little known genres such as the Gothic Fragment and the Utopian Satire, but also demonstrates that contemporary writers satirized the first and gothicized the second.

Download or read book This Is Pleasure written by Mary Gaitskill and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with Bad Behavior in the 1980s, Mary Gaitskill has been writing about gender relations with searing, even prophetic honesty. In This Is Pleasure, she considers our present moment through the lens of a particular #MeToo incident. The effervescent, well-dressed Quin, a successful book editor and fixture on the New York arts scene, has been accused of repeated unforgivable transgressions toward women in his orbit. But are they unforgivable? And who has the right to forgive him? To Quin’s friend Margot, the wrongdoing is less clear. Alternating Quin’s and Margot’s voices and perspectives, Gaitskill creates a nuanced tragicomedy, one that reveals her characters as whole persons—hurtful and hurting, infuriating and touching, and always deeply recognizable. Gaitskill has said that fiction is the only way that she could approach this subject because it is too emotionally faceted to treat in the more rational essay form. Her compliment to her characters—and to her readers—is that they are unvarnished and real. Her belief in our ability to understand them, even when we don’t always admire them, is a gesture of humanity from one of our greatest contemporary writers.

Download or read book A Concise History of Portugal written by David Birmingham and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-13 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise, illustrated history of Portugal offers an introduction to the people and culture of the country, its empire, and to its search for economic modernisation, political stability and international partnership. The book studies the effects of the vast wealth mined from Portuguese Brazil, the growth of the wine trade, and the evolution of international ties. The Portuguese Revolution of 1820 to 1851 created a liberal monarchy, but in 1910 the king was overthrown and, by 1926, had been replaced by a dictatorship. In 1975 Portugal withdrew from its African colonies and turned north to become a democratic member of the European Community in 1986. Researched during the years which followed the fall of Portugal's dictators in 1974, this book has become the standard single-volume work. The second edition brings the story up to date and discusses the state of historical writing on Portugal at the turn of the millennium.
Download or read book Che s Afterlife written by Michael J. Casey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1960, Cuban photographer Alberto Korda captured fabled revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara in what has become history's most reproduced photo. Here Michael Casey tells the remarkable story of this image, detailing its evolution from a casual snapshot to an omnipresent graphic—plastered on everything from T-shirts to vodka to condoms—and into a copyrighted brand. As Casey follows it across the Americas and through cyberspace, he finds governments exploiting it and their dissenters attacking it, merchants selling it and tourists buying it. We see how this image is, ultimately, a mercurial icon that still ignites passion—and a reflection of how we view ourselves.
