Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through this translation of As Três Marias the literary achievements of Rachel de Queiroz may at last be judged and appreciated by the English-reading public. Since none of her four novels has previously been translated into English, The Three Marias will be, for many non-Brazilians, an introduction to this nationally known South American author whose books have been widely praised for their artistic merits. Her literary works are colored by her projected personality, by an intense feeling for her own people, by an omnipresent social consciousness, and by personal experiences in the arid backlands of her native state of Ceará. Basing this story on certain of her own recollections from the nineteen-twenties, Rachel de Queiroz tells of a girl growing up in the seaport town of Fortaleza, in northeastern Brazil. Fred P. Ellison, whose special field is Brazilian and Spanish-American literature, has captured in his translation the author's graceful style and simplicity of language, and has successfully retained the perspective of an idealistic and gradually maturing girl.

Book excerpt: ?For those familiar with her earlier work, The Three Marias confirms the style that Breves declared "lively" and the beginnings it labeled "captivating" are not confined to the author's short stories. Set in Cincinnati, this is the compelling story of three sisters, growing up in the back-drop of the family's Italian restaurant. Collectively, they cope with a collage of emotions, unconventional experiences, and more than a few husbands. Maria Angelia, the oldest Maria, is so tormented by the facade of capability and dependability that she seeks solace in a forbidden liaison. Maria Nicholiva, the middle Maria, strives to stifle her vivaciousness and creativity in a medley of maverick decisions that conclude in an accusation of murder. Maria Josephine, the youngest Maria, is so haunted by the family secret that isolation is her friend. Will the sisters' relationships and the restaurant survive their struggle with their choices and reality? A collection of the author's short stories was published in France as Eclat de Femmes and in the United States as Shouts of Women. The author was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and now lives in Austin, Texas, where she works as an attorney and teaches law.

Download or read book Discourses of Desire written by Linda Kauffman and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Discourses of Desire, Linda S. Kauffman looks at a neglected genre—the love letters written by literary heroines. Tracing the development of the genre from Ovid to the twentieth-century novel, Kauffman explores through provocative and incisive readings the important implications of these amatory discourses for an understanding of fictive representation in general. Among the texts Kauffman treats are Ovid's Heroides, Heloise's letters to Abelard, The Letters of a Portuguese Nun, Clarissa, Jane Eyre, The Turn of the Screw, Absalom, Absalom!, and The Three Marias: New Portuguese Letters. Drawing on the work of such theorists as Todorov, Genette, Barthes, Bakhtin, Lacan, and Derrida, Kauffman demonstrates how the codes of love shape intertextual dialogues among these works, in which each innovation in the genre is simultaneously a response to and a departure from the one preceding it. Throughout, she pays particular attention to the unsettling questions that the genre's shared thematic preoccupations and formal characteristics pose for concepts of gender, authorship, genre, and mimesis. Drawing on poststructuralism and psychoanalytic criticism to extend the boundaries of feminist theory, Kauffman makes a significant contribution to contemporary critical discussions of writing and gender, mimesis and narrative discourse, and poetics and politics. Her book, broad in its scope and far-reaching in its implications, will be valuable reading for anyone interested in feminist criticism, literary theory, and literary history.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Notable Book, NPR Great Reads, and Onion A.V. Club Best Book of 2013 Each day before work María Dolz stops at the same café. There she finds herself drawn to a couple who is also there every morning. Observing their seemingly perfect life helps her escape the listlessness of her own. But when the man is brutally murdered and María approaches the widow to offer her condolences, what began as mere observation turns into an increasingly complicated entanglement. Invited into the widow's home, she meets--and falls in love with--a man who sheds disturbing new light on the crime. As María recounts this story, we are given a murder mystery brilliantly encased in a metaphysical enquiry, a novel that grapples with questions of love and death, chance and coincidence, and above all, with the slippery essence of the truth and how it is told. This ebook edition includes a reading group guide.

Book excerpt: My Portuguese grandmother is the best chef in the world. No, really. I spent a great deal of my childhood in my grandparents' kitchen, and eating my grandmother's food. Maybe it's the nostalgia; the longing for those days, years ago, when I would help her make linguiça, knead the dough to make one of her wonderful breads, or just gladly wait for dinner to be served and devour it enthusiastically. That might be it, but I think it's more than that. My grandmother and her four sisters have mastered the ability to create beautiful, delicious dishes while also evoking that nostalgia-or how the Portuguese would call it, "Saudade,"-by way of the foods they have been making their entire lives. This is a tribute to them and to their love for all of us.
