Book excerpt: The time is the 1970s. Brazil is ruled by a military dictatorship; terrorists, intellectuals and students have been arrested, there have been fearful accounts of torture. And Gregorio, whose fate has been to be a central participant in this history of Brazil, finds his twentieth-century incarnation the most hazardous of all. The urban guerillas cannot be sure if he is not an informer while the Government suspects him of subtle duplicity. Thus, Gregorio finds himself as the outsider whose destiny is to prevent, or at least delay the barbarians, both of the revolution and of the counter-revolution, from taking over. Gregorio is now involved in an extraordinary drama that sees him as a powerful symbol of modern man struggling against the political chaos of his time. Some historical events - the military revolution in 1694, the kidnapping of the U.S. Ambassador, terrorist bank robberies - form the background to this novel. But Gregorio's story is also a story of personal passion for his mysteriously inscrutable mistress Amalia and a passion, too, for the idea of Brazil which is more than the territory of a nation. The two passions sometimes coincide and sometimes draw apart: Gregorio can never be sure whether in possessing Amalia he has not possessed Brazil and losing her whether he has not seen the dream of a perfect world - that 'Brazil' of his mind - disappear. The witty, rich prose of this novel in which the world is brought alive in a language of sensuous vitality makes this a very compelling book to read. To bring the complicated plot together and at the same time to release a world of ideas in the reader's mind, the author has created a prose of equal complexity which in itself will give a profound pleasure to many readers. Praise for The Incredible Brazilian Trilogy: 'A picaresque prose epic of Brazilian history written by a Pakistani-born British poet who lives in Texas could not fail to be remarkable. The Incredible Brazilian is also genuinely comic, truly wise, and altogether fascinating' Thomas Berger '... a considerable feat of the imagination and novelistic ventriloquism' Paul Theroux

Download or read book A Bulletproof Ground Sloth: On the Hunt in Brazil written by Pat Spain and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-27 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This is the scene everyone will remember,” is how the director described the bullet-ant ceremony moments before Pat Spain took his place in the line of initiates. If online views, memes, family parties, and talk-show mentions are the measure, he wasn't wrong. The Tucandeira ceremony of the Sateré-Mawé is known as the most extreme ritual in the world, and Pat agrees with that assessment wholeheartedly. After hosting hundreds of hours of wildlife-adventure TV programs, Pat is no stranger to the pain animals can inflict, but the bullet ants took this to an entirely new level. On the Hunt in Brazil is an unblinking look into Pat's journey through Amazonia with a National Geographic film crew, attempting to uncover the truth behind the mythical mapinguari - a giant one eyed monster who can kill you with a scream. Over the course of two weeks, Pat participates in the Tucandeira, smuggles weapons on an aircraft, accidentally exposes himself to old people, learns that Brazil's sexy reputation is well deserved, and hears an ancient legend, never before shared with a Westerner, that points him towards a conclusion about the mapinguari and a surprising explanation for the seemingly tall-tales.

Book excerpt: The Beautiful Empire is Brazil and in the second half of the nineteenth century the money is growing on trees - the rubber trees whose precious sap is wanted all over the world. Drawn by rumours of fabulous wealth to be won there, Europeans pour into Amazonia - hardheaded businessmen and romantic adventurers come to make their fortune in the New World and other are fleeing disgraces in the Old. In the thick of it is Gregório Peixoto da Silva Xavier, the Incredible Brazilian. While laughing at the extravagance of Europeans and incensed by their insularity he grows rich as they do, except that only a small fraction of his fortunes comes from rubber. As proprietor of a fleet of luxurious floating brothels, Gregório becomes one of the richest men in Manaos, and also the most powerful, for there is no magnate whose secrets are hidden from him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian Americans have made many significant contributions to industry, science, politics, and the arts. At the same time, they have made great sacrifices and endured enormous hardships. This reference examines autobiographies and memoirs written by Asian Americans in the twentieth century. Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 60 major autobiographers of Asian descent. Some of these, such as Meena Alexander and Maxine Hong Kingston, are known primarily for their writings; others, such as Daniel K. Inouye, are known largely for other achievements, which they have chronicled in their autobiographies. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and provides a reliable account of the autobiographer's life; reviews major autobiographical works and themes, including fictionalized autobiographies and autobiographical novels; presents a meticulously researched account of the critical reception of these works; and closes with a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. An introductory essay considers the history and development of autobiography in American literature and culture and discusses issues and themes vital to Asian American autobiographies and memoirs, such as family, diaspora, nationhood, identity, cultural assimilation, racial dynamics, and the formation of the Asian American literary canon. The volume closes with a selected bibliography.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adventures of a "Gringo" Researcher in Brazil in the 1960s or In Search of Cordel is an entertaining and informative account of Professor Curran's first foray in Brazil. In this book he tells two stories: the research to collect cordel and, perhaps more importantly, the travel and the adventures of the year in Brazil. The two are inseparable and complement each other. Chapters include Recife and the Northeast, Travels to the interior of the Northeast, research in Brazil's colonial capital of Salvador da Bahia, research and tourism in Rio de Janeiro, trips to the interior of Rio, including Ouro Preto, Congonhas do Campo, and a memorable trip on a wood-burning stern wheeler on the Sao Francisco River in Minas Gerais and Bahia, and finally, research in the Amazon Basin, including both Belem do Para and Manaus. The account is not in academic language but in a colloquial, conversational style. Curran writes as one sitting down with the reader and telling tales of his travels, and perhaps with the author and reader enjoying a caipirinha, or a Brazilian draft beer choppe as they talk.

Download or read book The B. S. Johnson - Zulfikar Ghose Correspondence written by Vanessa Guignery and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1959 to 1973, the writers B. S. Johnson and Zulfikar Ghose regularly wrote letters to each other in which they discussed their own work and literary preoccupations. They exchanged early drafts of poems, short stories, plays and novels, and their correspondence contains detailed comments and extended analyses of these texts, as well as illuminating reflections on literature, criticism, poetics and aesthetics. Though much of the correspondence is an extended literary discussion, it also contains moments of personal revelation, jokes and anecdotes so that the letters, with their surprising asides, are enjoyable to read, even as they inform with their biographical and intellectual content. The two authors also frequently refer to the university poetry journals and literary magazines they contributed to or edited, and they write about the poetry meetings they attended and the writers they met or read. Their involvement in literary groups and their dealings with publishers, editors and agents are indicative of the publishing mechanisms of the time. This correspondence thus not only provides insight into the work of both B. S. Johnson and Zulfikar Ghose, but also conjures up a comprehensive picture of the London literary world of the 1960s.
