Book Synopsis Brazilian Folk Narrative Scholarship Pbdirect by : Mary MacGregor-Villarreal
Download or read book Brazilian Folk Narrative Scholarship Pbdirect written by Mary MacGregor-Villarreal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Brazilian scholars have collected and studied folklore since the second half of the nineteenth century, their work has gone largely unnoticed by folklorists working in other parts of the world. With the exception of anthropologists who occasionally study the folk literature of indigenous peoples in Brazil, few foreigners are familiar with, or even aware of, the kinds of folklore studies that have been undertaken in that country. This work, first published in 1994, aims to characterize the nature of Brazilian narrative studies and trends; to discuss and assess the roots of the apparent preoccupations, approaches and objectives of traditional narrative scholarship in Brazil; to examine Brazilian folklore scholarship in light of Euro-American research; and to point out the results and accomplishments of Brazilian research while simultaneously indicating possibilities for new directions in research.

Download or read book Futebol written by Alex Bellos and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new and updated edition of bestselling author Alex Bellos's classic book on soccer, unforgettably capturing the game at the heart of the Brazilian national identity. Since the 1950s, when Pelé first started playing, soccer has been how the world sees Brazil, but it is also how Brazilians see themselves. The essence of their game is one in which prodigious individual skills outshine team tactics, where dribbles and delicate flicks are preferred over physical challenges or long-distance passes, where technique has all the elements of dance and, indeed, is often described as such. At their best, Brazilian soccer players are both athletes and artists. As Alex Bellos brilliantly reveals in his classic book, their game can symbolize racial harmony, flamboyance, youth, innovation, and skill-in short, it's a microcosm of the country itself. Bellos, a veteran journalist and author whose star has continued to rise since Futebol was first published in 2002, revisits his search for what the great Brazilian striker Ronaldo has called the “true truth” of the Brazilian way of life. With an unerring eye for an illustrative story and a pitch-perfect ear for the voices of the people he meets, Bellos uncovers the nuanced role soccer has played in the history of Brazil and the lives of its people. Updated and with a new chapter covering recent events in Brazil.
Download or read book Kaiser! written by Rob Smyth and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The improbable story of a soccer player who scammed his way into a lengthy career…without ever playing in a game. Born in Rio Pardo, Brazil, Carlos Henrique Raposo had dreams of becoming a professional soccer (futbol) player. After a youth career at Botafogo and Flamengo, he had his sights set on the future. Whether given the nickname “Kaiser” due to his resemblance of superstar Franz Beckenbauer or a bottle of Kaiser beer, he used his new-found name to begin a career where he “wanted to be a footballer, but did not want to play football.” Thus began a decade-plus career that spanned across Brazil (Botafogo, Flamengo, Bangu, Fluminense, Vasco da Gama, and America), Mexico (Puebla), France (Gazelec Ajaccio), and the United States (El Paso Sixshooters). Relying on his charm and friends in high places—from fellow footballers Carlos Alberto Torres, Ricardo Rocha, and Renato Gaucho, to reporters willing to write “stories” of his “career”— Carlos Kaiser used his skills of deception to have a storied career without ever stepping foot on the pitch. Whether faking injuries, having friends lie for him, making up tall tales, or getting thrown out of a match just before taking the field, Kaiser! The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football is an incredible story of the lengths one man went to have a professional soccer career without every playing a game. Originally published in the UK, and with a world-renowned documentary released on his life, Kaiser! shares the lengths taken by one man who wanted all the glitz and glory of being a professional athlete . . . without ever having to be an actual athlete. So whether you’re a fan of soccer, futbol, professional sports, or stories of cunning and deception, Kaiser! is the story you don’t want to miss!

I was a long time without contact with Renato, the guardian or even the Hindu and the priestess, walking companions. Until on a beautiful sunny day when I enjoyed a moment of leisure with my family, I heard a thin voice calling me from afar. As I directed my vision to voice, my eyes filled with tears as I recognized my benefactor who had helped me overcome my challenges and entered the world's most dangerous cave on my first trip to the mountain.As I got closer, I got up to greet her, gave her a kiss and a big hug. I took the opportunity to introduce you to my mother and my brothers. The contact was brief, but intense. Discreetly, she asked me for a private conversation. I accepted the invitation, and together we went to my room to have more privacy. On the way, our eyes crossed and hers gave me confidence and a dose of mystery.
