Book Death and Funeral Practices in Portugal

Download or read book Death and Funeral Practices in Portugal written by Rafaela Ferraz Ferreira and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic studies on death and cemeteries are relatively recent in Portugal; those that do exist tend to adopt an essentially historical and artistic point of view. Studies on the practicalities of managing the dead and their spaces are even more recent, and they do not yet form a cohesive body of work. Combining both approaches, Death and Funeral Practices in Portugal is the first book to offer a broad look at the evolution and current status of Portuguese funerary practice. By exploring the country’s historical development, examining the contemporary legal framework, and systematizing the way Portugal manages its cemeteries, crematoria, and other death spaces, this book aims to provide an essential reference to researchers with an interest in Portuguese funeral practice. Among other themes, this book interprets the predominance of Catholic funerals, examines the relatively recent history of cremation, and contextualizes the practices of exhumation and grave re-use, which are integral to the normal functioning of a Portuguese cemetery. This is the first book on Portuguese death and dying written specifically for a non-Portuguese audience. It will be of interest to researchers and scholars but also accessible to students and non-specialist readers first coming into the subject.

Book O Grande Gatsby  The Great Gatsby

Download or read book O Grande Gatsby The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and published by Editora Landmark LTDA. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considerado pela "Modern Library" como o segundo melhor romance de língua inglesa do século XX, e por seu autor como 'algo novo - algo extraordinário, belo e simples', a Editora Landmark lança em uma exclusiva edição bilíngue, "O Grande Gatsby", obra-prima do escritor norte-americano F. Scott Fitzgerald. Com sua esposa, Zelda Sayre, Fitzgerald mudou-se para a França, onde concluiu, em 1925, seu terceiro e mais célebre de romance, "O Grande Gatsby", considerado pela crítica especializada como a obra-prima do escritor e uma das 100 melhores obras literárias de todos os tempos. Esta obra, uma das mais representativas do romance norte-americano, descreve a vida da alta sociedade, ambientada em Nova York e no litoral de Long Island, durante o verão de 1922, através de uma aguda reflexão crítica. Além de destacar brilhantemente uma sociedade obcecada por riqueza e status, o romance também apresenta os problemas da economia durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, a proibição de bebidas alcoólicas pelo The Noble Experiment", o aumento do crime organizado com o contrabando de bebidas, surgimento de novos milionários e a história de amor entre Jay Gatsby e Daisy. Jay Gatsby e Daisy se conhecem cinco anos antes do começo da história e se apaixonam. Ela é uma bela jovem da Louisiana e Gatsby, um jovem oficial da marinha sem qualquer riqueza, porém enquanto Gatsby cumpre seu dever como oficial na Primeira Guerra, Daisy se casa com o bruto, intolerante e milionário Tom Buchanan. Após o término da Guerra Gatsby se dedica inteiramente a reconquistar o amor de Daisy. Ele se empenha em fazer fortuna, por qualquer meio que seja, e se torna um milionário independente. Em seguida, compra uma mansão vizinha à mansão dos Buchanans e promove muitas festas com a esperança de que Daisy compareça a uma delas. Quando finalmente eles se encontram, acontecimentos trágicos são postos em movimento.
