Beware of a multitude of false leads! The nameless obsessed narrator, a serial compulsive womaniser, a thief of sorts with a hyperinflated ego aiming at becoming a filmmaker, or a clever detective, who surreptitiously purloins bits and pieces from I. Babel’ s historically unreliable diary Konarmia (1926) taking the reader on an unlikely whirlwind tour of Rio, Berlin, Paris and somewhere in Minas Gerais. The narrative is stitched with the names of films and filmmakers, a tell-tale sign that the narrator is an aspiring and/or frustrated film director, will certainly delight all film buffs! And what does Francisco de Goya have to do with this plot? Who is the actual owner of package of super valuable gems and what does it have to do with the search for the disappeared I. Babel’s manuscript in the times of the German Democratic Republic in the split city of Berlin of the Soviet era, which was fast approaching its demise? A rather odd choice of narrator’s idol for a Brazilian writer! Could it be possible that the writer had an empathy with Isaac Babel (1894-1940) based on some personal experience of creating political propaganda? I. Babel worked for the Cheka as R. Fonseca worked for IPÊS. As you begin, you will soon find out that in the realm of dreams, anything can happen as the narrator signals: the title, Vast Emotions and Imperfect Thoughts, lifted from the 1899 piece ‘The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of’ by Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) and the 19th century psychological quests, and the 1852 Nouvelles Observations Sur Les Analogies Des Phénomènes Du Rêve Et De l’Aliénation Mentale by Alfred Maury (1817 -1892).

The first part is the longest. The bestseller is a noir and reminds us of the narrative style by Dalton Trevisan (1925-). Our book club discussed his O Vampiro de Curitiba (1964/5) in March 2017. In fact, Rubem Fonseca was acquainted with Dalton Trevisan. Rubem Fonseca always propagated a myth that he was recluse and did not give interviews. Unlike Dalton Trevisan, Rubem Fonseca participated in various literary events abroad (including London) and was very open and enjoyed speaking to many attendees abroad, but refused to give interviews in Brazil. https://sistemas.mre.gov.br/kitweb/datafiles/Londres/en-us/file/cul-bookclub- 15-vampiro.pdf. The title Vast Emotions and Imperfect Thoughts, is taken from the writings of Henry Havelock Ellis, known as Havelock Ellis (1859-1939), who was an English physician, eugenicist, writer and populariser of some areas of progressive thinking. Similarly, to numerous 19th century researchers of psychological matters, human consciousness and dreams, H. Ellis wrote and spoke extensively on the matter. He was a populariser and published The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of in the Popular Science Monthly (Volume 54, April 1899), I highlight the original part of the text below, which is mentioned in chapter four of the first part The Lymph of the Labyrinth : The interest of such a task is twofold. It not only reveals to us an archaic world of vast emotions and imperfect thoughts, but by helping us to attain a clear knowledge of the ordinary dream processes, it enables us in advance to deal with many of the extraordinary phenomena of dreaming, sometimes 3 presented to us by wonder-loving people as awesomely mysterious, if not indeed supernatural. The careful analysis of mere ordinary dreams frequently gives us the key to these abnormal dreams.

One of the main thread lines of the three parts of this thriller is represented by the precious gems, with twists and turns, which in the end lead the reader to some site close to the mining company Tijucana, located by the River Jequitinhonha somewhere between the towns of Diamantina and Bocaiúva, in the state of Minas Gerais where the writer was born. However, there are further twists of odd gurus and bezoars. Rubem Fonseca’s narrator makes references to numerous films and filmmakers, to other visual art forms such as the etching series, The Disasters of War and Los Caprichos by Francisco de Goya (1746-1828), musical compositions and literary works. The narrative includes a brief commentary about the narrator’s film adaptation of the Brazilian masterpiece Os Sertões: campanha de Canudos by Euclides da Cunha (1868-1909). Our book club members have read and discussed it. (see https://sistemas.mre.gov.br/kitweb/datafiles/Londres/en-us/file/cul-bookclub-15- ossertoes.pdf ) Detailed description of pieces or parts of art have featured in world literature since time immemorial. This practice often takes on an imitative or mimetic style, an appropriation and may even originate a new work of art. Or it can parody an original to various effects. It is a type of intertextuality between art forms. Recently, yet another fashionable wave has emerged to describe evocations of other art works with the term from Greek ekphrasis (ἐκφράσις), as a rhetorical device, or rather establishing an intertextual or inter- visual/auditory link with other objects of the art canon – specific aspects regarded as crucial. All authors use this to a greater or lesser degree. Literary masters merge such references imperceptibly and readers will find the layers of those allusions as they read or re-read the text. The reader is delighted to find such allusions. Therefore, the choice the writer makes to create a narrator-protagonist obsessed with an unknown Soviet writer of Jewish descent Isaac Babel mystified most Brazilian readers. Isaac Emmanuilovich Babel (1894-1940) was born in Odessa, at the time Old Russian Empire and particularly the area of The Pale of Settlement (1791-1917) of the Imperial Russia which determined where Jewish people would be allowed to settle. His family, with the original spelling of the surname as Bobel, was one of those who came to settle there. He became famous for writing about Jewish underworld in Odessa, and, also wrote plays and was interested in filmmaking. He did some work for the Odessa Studio and for Oleksander Dovzhenko (1894-1956) for the Ukrainian National Art Film Studio created in the1920s, now The Dovzhenko Film Studios. 4 Page ©VIRTUAL BRAZILIAN BILINGUAL BOOK CLUB –EMBASSY OF BRAZIL IN LONDON All rights reserved - Creator & Convenor -©Nadia Kerecuk http://londres.itamaraty.gov.br/en-us/book_club.xml 14-16 Cockspur Street London SW11Y 5BL @BrazilEmbassyUK 2020 – A Feast of Brazilian Literary Delights Celebrating the birth centenary of CLARICE LISPECTOR (1920-1977), JOÃO CABRAL DE MELO NETO (1920-1999) and JOSÉ MAURO DE VASCONCELOS (1920-1984) #aFeastofBrazilianLiteraryDelights I. Babel wrote and published in Russian, Yiddish and French. Maksym Gorki (1868- 1936) was I. Babel’s friend and instigated him to join the Red Army. I. Babel was ‘embedded’ as a war correspondent and propagandist as a member of Checka during the Polish-Soviet War of 1920 (14 February 1919 – 18 October 1920) between the Second Polish Republic and the Soviet Russia.

  • Sobre a Divulgação E Recepção Da Literatura Brasileira Na Hungria
    Sobre a divulgação e recepção da literatura brasileira na Hungria Ferenc Pál Professor Emeritus da Eötvös Loránd University. As primeiras informações da literatura brasileira chegam ao público húngaro por via dos verbetes das enciclopédias editadas na viragem dos séculos XIX e XX. N’A Grande Enciclopédia da Pallas1 alguns poetas destacados (como Gonçalves de Magalhães, Gonçalves Dias e Tomás António de Gonzaga) já tem verbetes autónomos. No volume 3, de 1911, da Grande Enciclopédia da Révai2 já se encontra um verbete em separado sobre a “literatura brasiliana”, rezando que “a literatura brasiliana durante muito tempo foi apenas um ramo da literatura portuguesa e só nos últimos tempos começou a se desenvolver em rumo diferente”. Nesta enciclopédia já aumenta o número dos autores com verbete autónomo (assim encontramos incluídos nela os mais importantes ou famosos autores do romantismo, como Macedo, Álvares de Azevedo, Bernardo Guimarães, etc.). Nas enciclopédias posteriores, em especial nas enciclopédias de literatura universal3, encontramos informações cada vez mais sofisticadas da literatura brasileira, até que na volumosa Enciclopédia da Literatura Universal, cujos volumes saíam desde 1970 até meados dos 19904, encontramos, além dos verbetes sobre a literatura brasileira e fenómenos literários ligados com o Brasil (como por ex.: o Modernismo), verbetes de 228 escritores brasileiros. Mas tudo isto é apenas uma mera informação das letras brasileiras que ainda não é acompanhada de obras traduzidas para conhecimento do público húngaro. A primazia, segundo hoje podemos afirmar, corresponde a um conto de Machado de Assis, que foi 1 A Pallasz Nagy Lexikona. 2 Révai Nagy Lexikona. 3 Queremos mencionar, apenas como contribuição bibliográfia, as enciclopédias da literatura seguintes, mencionadas na bibliografia: Irodalmi Lexikon, Világirodalmi Lexikon, Világirodalmi Kisenciklopédia 4 Világirodalmi Lexikon.

A transversal look on the circulation of Brazilian works in these different spaces showed the existence of some regularities with respect to the authors and the most translated works, as well as publishers and literary agencies, revealing how certain principles of economic, political and cultural nature act on the flow of translations in the international literary space. The focus of attention was on the role of publishers as intermediaries who act in a decisive way in the process of selection, presentation and introduction of the translated work in the reception context.

  • Brazil 2001 : a Revisionary History of Brazilian Literature and Culture
    The Case of Rubem Fonseca—The Search for Reality Karl Erik Schollhammer Translated by David Shepherd and Tania Shepherd Don’t say armpit. Say axilla. Fonseca, 1973, 17. If reality could establish direct contact with our conscious mind, if we could communicate immediately with things and with ourselves, art would probably be useless, or rather, we would all be artists. Fonseca, 1973, 99. There are more than enough reasons to highlight the importance of Rubem Fonseca (1923) within contemporary Brazilian literature. Fonseca is central to the trajectory of contemporary prose, with 18 titles ranging from novels to collections of short stories. Fiowever, it is not the purpose of this essay to praise the excellence of the writer’s oeuvre, because national critics have already taken care of this task. It is more important, rather, to understand his innovative contribution to the mainstream trends of Brazilian literature. Among critics, there is a consensus that Fonseca has consolidated in prose the urban tendencies of the last three decades and thus represents the literary emergence of the literature of a modern, metropolitan Brazil. It is also usually agreed that the portrait of a new urban reality, as painted by Fonseca, privileges a marginal dimension of both violence and crime that allegorically represents a form of political resistance against the authoritarian regime that 5,1 came to power after the “Revolution of 1964. In the 1970s, there were three tendencies that aligned literary approaches with the sociopolitical situation of the time.
