Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years in Brazil In preparing this little book on Brazil, I have been actuated chiefly by the desire to help to make known a country which is still, so to speak, terra incognita to Europeans generally, and one which I venture to say will repay them to make a closer study of. It is not possible, in a work of so cursory and slight a character, to do more than lightly touch upon the many points of varied interest which a country such as Brazil offers to the minds of thoughtful persons. I have, therefore, merely endeavoured to say a few words about the country in which so many of the best years of my life have been spent, because I find that the few ideas people do possess about it on this side of the Atlantic are, generally speaking, very fragmentary and often entirely erroneous. I have confined myself principally to speaking of those States of which I have personal knowledge, although there are many more, both in the north and in the interior of Brazil, which offer an equally interesting field for study.

Download or read book Adventures with the Bible in Brazil (Classic Reprint) written by Frederick C. Glass and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures With the Bible in Brazil Brazil is the second largest country and the fourth largest empire of the World, and has a white population greater than those of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and British Africa together. It was discovered in 1500 by the Portuguese, whose descendants hold it intact to-day, the Dutch and French invasions proving but temporary episodes in the otherwise peaceful history of this splendid Country. The great, and indeed it may be said the only, historian of Brazil is the English poet, Robert Southey, whose masterpiece, The History of Brazil, should be read by all who are interested in The Land of the Southern Cross. Brazil occupies about half the area and has about half the population of the whole continent, so that Spanish South America is a misnomer. It was governed from Lisbon until 1822, when Brazil declared her independence, and chose as her ruler a Portuguese prince, whose son, Dom Pedro II, succeeded him, and governed the country wisely and well for about fifty years. In 1889 a military revolution, overawing the population on the one hand, and making extravagant and illusory promises on the other, succeeded in driving the aged Dom Pedro from his throne and country; and a Republic was set up, which is the established form of government until this day. Though the early years of the Republic were lean ones and full of disillusionments, the country of late has greatly advanced in general progress and wealth, and enjoys a fairly stable form of government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brazil Today and Tomorrow Everything that has been done to bring Brazil into the race of nations is the work of the last hundred years; the most intense period of rapid building since the establishment of the republic has lasted less than thirty years, for in that time has taken place the great acquisition of private fortunes in the industrial regions of Brazil. Much of the civic building, creation of pub lic utilities, establishment of transportation lines, has been due to foreign capital and technical skill, but Brazil herself has contributed no small share of enter prise during the last fifty years; descendants of Portu guese fidalgo: have taken up engineering, agriculture, commerce and city-making with energy and intelligence which is not always given a due share of recognition by those onlookers who think that all development of Latin America must come from without. In Brazil much progress, much creation, has come from within, and will come to an even larger degree in the future with improvement in technical education; but the country is enormous, the centres of population have always lain on or near the sea border, and interior Brazil, the virgin heart of South America, remains practically untouched. The two great interior states of Matto Grosso and Goyaz cover an area of more than two million square kilometres; they make up one-fourth of the whole Brazilian territory, and Brazil covers half of South America: but this huge heart-shaped wedge in the cen tre of the continent has no more than half a million population. This is not because the country is tropical or worthless, but because it is unopened and unknown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on significant and cutting-edge preoccupations within children’s literature scholarship, The Routledge Companion to Children’s Literature and Culture presents a comprehensive overview of print, digital, and electronic texts for children aged zero to thirteen as forms of world literature participating in a panoply of identity formations. Offering five distinct sections, this volume: Familiarizes students and beginning scholars with key concepts and methodological resources guiding contemporary inquiry into children’s literature Describes the major media formats and genres for texts expressly addressing children Considers the production, distribution, and valuing of children’s books from an assortment of historical and contemporary perspectives, highlighting context as a driver of content Maps how children’s texts have historically presumed and prescribed certain identities on the part of their readers, sometimes addressing readers who share some part of the author’s identity, sometimes seeking to educate the reader about a presumed “other,” and in recent decades increasingly foregrounding identities once lacking visibility and voice Explores the historical evolutions and trans-regional contacts and (inter)connections in the long process of the formation of global children’s literature, highlighting issues such as retranslation, transnationalism, transculturality, and new digital formats for considering cultural crossings and renegotiations in the production of children’s literature Methodically presented and contextualized, this volume is an engaging introduction to this expanding and multifaceted field.

Book Synopsis The Film Industry in Brazil by : Randal Johnson
Download or read book The Film Industry in Brazil written by Randal Johnson and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 1987-04-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking back through the prism of the severe economic crisis for filmmaking in the 1980s, The Film Industry in Brazil explores the unusual relationship between the state-supported industry, which often produced politically radical films, and the authoritarian regime that had held sway for twenty years. To ground his analysis, Johnson covers the early years of the film industry, 1898-1930; attempts at industrialization during the 1930s and 1940s; film industry congresses and government film boards, 1950-1966; the National Film Institute, 1966-1975; and the expansion of the state's role from 1969 through 1980. Well-conceived, carefully researched and documented, Johnson's study fills a major gap in film studies by tracing the development of this industry in Brazil, focusing specifically on its relationship to the state.
