Fístula

by Diniz Conefrey

~~8,99€~~ 8,09€ 10% OFF

 Um homem corta-se com um vidro e é levado para um hospital por um misterioso tradutor. Aí, figuras pululam pelos corredores e salas assépticas, forçando o homem a esperar que o suturem. Uma mulher escreve uma carta, que provavelmente nunca chegará ao seu destinatário, a um antigo amante. Vários pássaros sobrevoam o ar, ameaçando o ambiente do livro. São estes os personagens de Fístula, na estreia de Diniz Conefrey na Assírio & Alvim, um poema-romance que recorre ao verso e à prosa para contar a visão alucinante de um ser ferido num mundo prenhe de dor.

Auld Lang Syne - A Song And Its Culture

by M. J. Grant

6,99€

 InAuld Lang Syne: A Song and its Culture, M. J. Grant explores the history of this iconic song, demonstrating how its association with ideas of fellowship, friendship and sociality has enabled it to become so significant for such a wide range of individuals and communities around the world. This engaging study traces different stages in the journey ofAuld Lang Syne, from the precursors to the song made famous by Robert Burns to the traditions and rituals that emerged around the song in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including its use as a song of parting, and as a song of New Year. Grant’s painstaking study investigates the origins of these varied traditions, and their impact on the transmission of the song right up to the present day. Grant usesAuld Lang Syne to explore the importance of songs and singing for group identity, arguing that it is the active practice of singing the song in group contexts that has made it so significant for so many. The book offers fascinating insights into the ways thatAuld Lang Syne has been received, reused and remixed around the world, concluding with a chapter on more recent versions of the song back in Scotland. This highly original and accessible work will be of great interest to non-expert readers as well as scholars and students of musicology, cultural and social history, social anthropology and Scottish studies. The book contains a wealth of illustrations and includes links to many more, including manuscript sources. Audio examples are included for many of the musical examples. Grant’s extensive bibliography will moreover ease future referencing of the many sources consulted.

Sylvia Plath - A Very Short Introduction

by Heather Clark

~~8,82€~~ 7,94€ 10% OFF

 Sylvia Plath is one of the most influential and iconic American writers of the twentieth century, popular with academic and general audiences alike. Plath, who died at age 30, left behind a body of work that changed the direction of modern poetry, and buttressed second-wave feminism. Her poetry and fiction have been especially important to generations of women readers who have found a powerful reflection of their own emotions and experiences in Plath''s art. In this incisive introduction, leading Plath scholar Heather Clark explores the intersections between Plath''s life and work while discussing key themes in Plath''s poetry collections The Colossus and Ariel, her novel The Bell Jar, and short stories "Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams," "The Wishing Box," and "Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom." Clark summarizes the ways in which Plath has been pathologized, and reframes her work within the broader context of poetic confessionalism, biography, feminism, politics, and mental illness.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Dante'S Divine Comedy; The Inferno - A Literal Prose Translation, With The Text Of The Original Collated From The Best Editions, And Explanatory Notes

by John A. Carlyle

13,05€ + 10% CARD

 Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The object of the following Prose Translation is to give the real meaning of Dante as literally and briefly as possible. No single particle has been wittingly left unrepresented in it, for which any equivalent could be discovered; and the few words that have been added are marked in Italics. English readers, it is hoped, will here find a closer, and therefore, with all its defects, a warmer version than any that has hitherto been published for them.
