Book excerpt: Camilo Castelo Branco (1825-1890) foi um escritor portugués, considerado o criador da novela passional portuguesa. Escreveu irreverentes crônicas para jornais. Nasceu na freguesia dos Mártires, em Lisboa, Portugal, ficou órfão de mãe com um ano e de pai com 10 anos. Foi morar com uma tia e depois com sua irmã mais velha. Em 1841, com apenas 16 anos, casou-se com uma jovem de 15 anos, Joaquina Pereira, mas logo a abandonou. Em 1843 ingressou na Escola Médico-Cirúrgica na cidade do Porto, mas entregue à boemia, não conseguiu concluir o curso. Em 1845 publicou seus primeiros trabalhos literários. Em 1846 fugiu com a jovem Patrícia Emília, mas a abandona, poucos anos depois. No ano seguinte morreu sua esposa legítima, de quem estava separado, e a filha do casal morreu no ano seguinte. Camilo Castelo Branco passou por uma crise espiritual em 1850, e ingressou no seminário do Porto, pretendendo seguir a vida religiosa. Nesse ano conheceu Ana Plácido, que casada com um comerciante brasileiro, abandonou o marido em 1859 e foi viver com Camilo. Em 1860 é processado e preso por crime de adultério, mas é absolvido no ano seguinte, passando a viver com Ana. O casal foi morar em Lisboa e depois em São Miguel de Seide, sempre com muitos problemas financeiros. Em 1863 publica "Amor de Perdição", sua novela mais famosa. Sua vida atribulada lhe deu inspiração para os temas de suas novelas. Também reconstituiu em suas obras o panorama dos costumes de Portugal de seu tempo, quase sempre com uma profunda sintonia com as maneiras de ser e sentir do povo português. Em 1889, quando se torna uma celebridade nacional como escritor, recebe uma homenagem da Academia de Lisboa. Recebeu o título de Visconde concedido pelo rei de Portugal, D. Luís I. Uma doença nos olhos que pouco a pouco lhe tirava a visão, fez Camilo mergulhar em profunda depressão. Depois de saber que ficaria definitivamente cego Camilo suicida-se em São Miguel de Seide, Vila Nova de Famalicão, no dia 01 de junho de 1890.

Download or read book Colonial Tropes and Postcolonial Tricks written by Lesley Wylie and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a new reading of the Spanish-American novela de la selva genre, often interpreted as a belated imitation of European travel literature. Arguing against the commonly held opinion of the genre’s derivative nature, Colonial Tropes and Postcolonial Tricks examines how novela de la selva fiction reimagined the tropics from a Latin American perspective and redefined tropical landscape aesthetics and ethnography through parodic rewritings of European perspectives. Analyzing four emblematic novels of the genre, this book considers the crucial place of the jungle as a locus for the contestation of national and literary identity by post-independence Latin American writers.

Download or read book We'll to the Woods No More written by Edouard Dujardin and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1990 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A delightful period piece of Paris in the late 1880's, We'll to the Woods No More (Les lauriers sont coupés) retains its importance as the first use of the monologue intérieur and the inspiration for the stream-of-consciousness technique perfected by James Joyce. Dujardin's charming tale, told with insight and irony, recounts what goes on in the mind of a young man-about-town in love with a Parisian actress. Mallarmé described the poetry of the telling as "the instant seized by the throat." Originally published in France in 1887, the first English translation (by Joyce scholar Stuart Gilbert) was published by New Directions in 1938. In 1957 Leon Edel's perceptive historical essay reintroduced the book as "the rare and beautiful case of a minor work which launched a major movement."

Download or read book The Scramble for the Amazon and the "Lost Paradise" of Euclides da Cunha written by Susanna B. Hecht and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fortunes of the late nineteenth century’s imperial and industrial powers depended on a single raw material—rubber—with only one source: the Amazon basin. And so began the scramble for the Amazon—a decades-long conflict that found Britain, France, Belgium, and the United States fighting with and against the new nations of Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil for the forest’s riches. In the midst of this struggle, Euclides da Cunha, engineer, journalist, geographer, political theorist, and one of Brazil’s most celebrated writers, led a survey expedition to the farthest reaches of the river, among the world’s most valuable, dangerous, and little-known landscapes. The Scramble for the Amazon tells the story of da Cunha’s terrifying journey, the unfinished novel born from it, and the global strife that formed the backdrop for both. Haunted by his broken marriage, da Cunha trekked through a beautiful region thrown into chaos by guerrilla warfare, starving migrants, and native slavery. All the while, he worked on his masterpiece, a nationalist synthesis of geography, philosophy, biology, and journalism he named the Lost Paradise. Da Cunha intended his epic to unveil the Amazon’s explorers, spies, natives, and brutal geopolitics, but, as Susanna B. Hecht recounts, he never completed it—his wife’s lover shot him dead upon his return. At once the biography of an extraordinary writer, a masterly chronicle of the social, political, and environmental history of the Amazon, and a superb translation of the remaining pieces of da Cunha’s project, The Scramble for the Amazon is a work of thrilling intellectual ambition.

Download or read book The Amazon Rubber Boom, 1850-1920 written by and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1983-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first complete account of the rise and fall of the rubber economy in Brazil provides a dramatic example of one of the boom and bust cycles traditionally associated with Brazilian economic history. The Amazon rubber trade was one of the most important export booms in the history of Latin America, dominating the economic life of the Amazon for 70 years until the successful cultivation of rubber trees by the British in Southeast Asia. Yet this long period of vigorous economic activity left the basic structure of Amazonian society relatively unchanged. One of the author's main concerns is to explore why rubber exports did not generate substantial growth in either the industrial or the agricultural sector, and she finds the answers primarily in the relations of production and exchange that characterized the Amazon's extractive economy. The study also considers the impact of political decentralization and regionalism on the Amazonian economy, draws comparisons with the coffee boom in Sao Paulo that induced sustained industrial growth in that area, and traces the consequences of the rubber economy's collapse on the social, political, and economic life in the Amazon.

Download or read book Entangled Edens written by Candace Slater and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The skill with which [Slater] combines various levels and modalities of narrative, utilizing her personal experience as a colorful unifying thread, is truly remarkable."—Antonio Candido, author of Antonio Candido: On Literature and Society (Howard S. Becker, editor) "A very important book, that quite gracefully, elegantly, and persuasively moves beyond the usual 'myth and history' format to put at its center stories about the Amazon and the people who tell them. Entangled Edens persuasively argues that the Amazon can only be grasped, understood, and come to terms with through its myths and stories. It addresses a very real failing of modern environmentalism, which for all its virtues, tends to dehumanize and metaphorically depopulate, when it does not villainize, populations that do share its concerns or share them in very different ways. Instead of forcing us to choose between land and people, Slater uses the stories and the people who tell them to rethink human relations with nature and each other."—Richard White, author of The Organic Machine: The Remaking of the Columbia River "Elegant, erudite, profoundly serious, Entangled Edens is a source of inspiration and knowledge for the reader interested in the Amazon. Without the cultural tradition and the life experience of Amazonia’s people, any analysis of the Amazon risks becoming inconsequential or opportunistic. This is one of the powerful messages of this important reflection on the Amazon, whose greatest riches are ultimately its people. Candace Slater has written a book that will last."—Milton Hatoum, author of The Tree of the Seventh Heaven(1994) and The Brothers (2002)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In his long career of exploration and scholarship, Hemming has become a powerful advocate for the Amazon.”—The New York Times, John Hemming Amazonia is one of the most magnificent habitats on earth. Containing the world’s largest river, with more water and a broader basin than any other, it hosts a great expanse of tropical rain forest, home to the planet’s most luxuriant biological diversity. The human beings who settled in the region 10,000 years ago learned to live well with its bounty of fish, game, and vegetation. It was not until 1500 that Europeans first saw the Amazon, and, unsurprisingly, the rain forest’s unique environment has attracted larger-than-life personalities through the centuries. John Hemming recalls the adventures and misadventures of intrepid explorers, fervent Jesuit ecclesiastics, and greedy rubber barons who enslaved thousands of Indians in the relentless quest for profit. He also tells of nineteenth-century botanists, fearless advocates for Indian rights, and the archaeologists and anthropologists who have uncovered the secrets of the Amazon’s earliest settlers. Hemming discusses the current threat to Amazonia as forests are destroyed to feed the world’s appetite for timber, beef, and soybeans, and he vividly describes the passionate struggles taking place in order to utilize, protect, and understand the Amazon.
