It was published in June/July 1875 by the L. G. Garnier bookshop and publishing house. It was the third of a trilogy signed under one of the author’s pennames ‘G.M.’. The author created the character- author, G.M., allegedly a lady of a certain age whose single task was to compile the stories of the three women. The last in the series, Senhora, carried an additional element in its title ‘Profile of a Woman’. It was published after nearly eleven years after the second novel of the series. Lucíola was published in 1862, Diva in 1864. The latter two carry the name of the main character but the last one is entitled ‘Senhora’ meaning ‘Mrs., Lady, Ma’am’ and the reader soon finds out that the name of the lady of the third novel is Aurélia Camargo. Readers ought to consider why the author closed the series with a more enigmatic title. Was he under the influence of other novelists who wrote novel series entitled with women’s names? The first name of the main character in Senhora is Aurélia, which evokes references to classical literature. From the Latin family name Aurelius, derived from the Latin aureus (from aurum, gold) which means ‘golden’. A number of minor early saints had this name, e.g. Aurelia of Strasburg (4th century), Aurelia of Regensburg (died 1027, Catholic saint). Their names referred to the meaning ‘golden’ and not to the ancient Latin family. Speaking of names, the mother of Julius Caesar (100 BC-44 BC) was Aurelia Cotta (120 BC-54 BC). There had been publications of novels featuring women’s names in Brazil in the nineteenth century. In the same year, 1875, the novel A Escrava Isaura (The Slave Isaura) was published by Bernardo Guimarães (1825-1884), a major classic which has never been translated in English. In 1875, various types of novels were published in Brazil, Victorian Britain, Portugal, in Europe and Americas. World authors were read and translated in Brazil. Various authors read in Brazil published their novels in the same year, for example, George Sand (1804-1876), Émile Zola(1840-1902), and Jules Verne (1828-1905). One of the 1875 Jules Verne’s novels was utopian visionary An Ideal City (Une ville idéale) featured musical recitals are broadcast by wires from a piano. 3 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 VIRTUAL BRAZILIAN BILINGUAL BOOK CLUB – EMBASSY OF BRAZIL IN LONDON 2021-Pleasures of Reading Brazilian Literature #BrazilianLitReadingPleasures Overt or covert references to other earlier works such as Aurélia ou le rêve et la vie (1855) by Gérard de Nerval (Gérard Labrunie, 1808 –1855), Octave Feuillet (1821-1890) among other such intertextual references, are a nod to the widely read world literature in Brazil. Novels were booming as much in Brazil as in other countries in the world. Brazilian authors experimented with numerous forms of novel writing in Brazil. They also aimed at creating a Brazilian identity adopting a variety of forms of romance and novel. Although, there has been a ubiquitous trend to categorise and label novels according to ‘schools’ or the like, numerous novels do not fit those artificial criteria and constructs. In any case, those criteria so loved by literary critics and academics have aged and have been regurgitated far too often. Reading the originals without preconceived ideas is of essence. As I have argued, the proof of the quality of a novel is in reading it. Readers in this century will certainly unveil additional layers of content in older classics. This is the case of Jane Austen often revisited in Britain at the beginning of the third decade of twenty-first century. The same applies to Senhora. José de Alencar was quite prolific and wrote various types of novels including outstanding historical masterpieces. In his intellectual autobiography, entitled Como e Por Que Sou Romancista (Why and How I Am A Novelist), written in 1863 and published posthumously in 1893, the author offered an account on how he began to write novels. His memories of places of his childhood and youth in the province of Ceará re-enlivened by his later visits along with his memories of his readings awoke a desire to write and fuelled his imagination. He also mentioned the role that his family’s books/library played in his career. He had taken a break from his law degree in São Paulo and attended the third year of his degree at the Law School of Olinda, Pernambuco. He referenced the Library of the São Bento Convent with its significant collections where the law degrees were offered. The area of the Saint Benedict Convent/Monastery was appointed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. The Saint Benedict monks arrived in Brazil in the sixteenth century, in Olinda in 1592 and set up significant libraries and schools. The Library of the São Bento Convent in São Paulo is one of the oldest spiritual and temporal collections with rare books. José de Alencar subtly highlighted the Olinda library in his autobiographical account, thus, recorded another significant intellectual legacy of the Olinda Order in the nineteenth century Brazil. The novel contains fascinating social history accounts of the life of the Empire of Brazil including a source for the history of how women were treated in Brazil at the time and how resourceful they were. Additionally, the fictional narrator G.M. showed that there was more complexity in the way women were brought up and educated defying various cliches which have circulated to date. In this excerpt, José de Alencar told us how he came to write novels: Foi somente em 1848 que ressurgiu em mim a veia do romance. Acabava de passar dois meses em minha terra natal. Tinha-me repassado das primeiras e tão fagueiras recordações da infância, ali nos mesmos sítios queridos onde nascera. Em Olinda, onde estudava o meu terceiro ano, e na velha biblioteca do Convento de S. Bento a ler os cronistas da era colonial, desenhavam-se a cada instante, na tela das reminiscências, as paisagens do meu pátrio Ceará. 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 VIRTUAL BRAZILIAN BILINGUAL BOOK CLUB – EMBASSY OF BRAZIL IN LONDON 2021-Pleasures of Reading Brazilian Literature #BrazilianLitReadingPleasures Only in1848 did the vein of novel writing resurface in me.

Indefinível era a unção desse olhar em que o mancebo embebia a virgem, como para reanimá-la com os eflúvios de sua alma, que toda se estava infundindo e repassando da imagem querida. Ninguém que o visse momentos antes, lutando braço a braço com o incêndio, gigante contra gigante, acreditara que esse coração impetuoso encerrasse o manancial de ternura, que fluía-lhe agora do semblante e de toda sua pessoa.” (ALENCAR, 2002. p.22) O fragmento há pouco destacado remete ao momento em que Arnaldo, protagonista da obra O Sertanejo, romance regionalista de José de Alencar, após salvar a jovem D. Flor de um incêndio e levá-la inconsciente para a fazenda de seu pai, o capitão-mor Gonçalo Pires Campelo, entrega-se a um instante de adoração à sua amada, figura constantemente próxima e, ao mesmo tempo, distante de sua realização amorosa. Os termos “adoração” e “veneração” nos parecem ser os que melhor definem o comportamento de Arnaldo em relação à D.

  • Jorge Amado and the Internationalization of Brazilian Literature
    http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2013v1n31p119 JORGE AMADO AND THE INTERNATIONALIZATION OF BRAZILIAN LITERATURE Elizabeth Lowe University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [email protected] Abstract: Jorge Amado (1912-2001) is the most translated Brazi- lian writer and the literary figure that has shaped the reception of Brazilian literature in the world. He is credited with opening the international literary market to the post-dictatorship generation of Brazilian writers. Yet Amado is also a controversial figure. The debate around him is sparked by what some believe is sexual and ethnic stereotyping in his post-1958 works and the reinforcement of “paternalistic “racial views. His reception therefore is mixed. For his English-language readers, he is a fascinating source of exotic and titillating narratives about the vast, unknown country of Brazil, and for Brazilians he is either a “great ambassador of Brazilian culture around the world” or a faux populist who dis- guises sexist and racist attitudes behind charming prose. This talk will address Amado’s literary career, his unique contributions to Brazilian letters, the challenges of translating his work, and his influence on the production of a new Brazilian literature for export Keywords: reception, controversy, translation. Jorge Amado is among the writers who have contributed most to the emergence of a post-modern Inter-American literature. He is at the same time a transitional and a controversial figure. Still the most widely translated Brazilian novelist—his works have appea- red in over forty languages and in fifty-five countries—he was the 120 Elizabeth Lowe, Jorge Amado and the internationalization of..

  • A Preface to a Theory of Art-Fear in Brazilian Literature
    http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8026.2012n62p341 A PREFACE TO A THEORY OF ART-FEAR IN BRAZILIAN LITERATURE Julio França Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro Luciano Cabral da Silva Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro Abstract There is no tradition in the study of horror in Brazilian literature; with Álvares de Azevedo”s tales of Noite na Taverna generally considered as the only example of Gothic, terror or horror narrative quoted in literary history. This article aims to demonstrate that there are several works in Brazilian literature which could be classified as “fear literature”—a fictional narrative that produces “artistic fear”. In fact, some of the most important Brazilian authors, including Machado de Assis, Bernardo Guimarães, Aluísio Azevedo, Inglês de Souza, João do Rio, Humberto de Campos and Coelho Neto, penned works in the macabre during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, critics were either unable to identify them as works of horror or paid no attention to an area of fiction in which social problems were not realistically represented. Therefore, research in this field must first identify the basic characteristics Ilha do Desterro Florianópolis nº 62 p. 341- 356 jan/jun 2012 342 Julio França e Luciano Cabral da Silva, A preface to a Theory of Art... of fictional horror in our country.

Despite the importance of this call to a more planetary approach to literature, the turn to a world scope often recapitulates problems associated with the nineteenth century emergence of the term “world literature”: local concerns and traditions dissolve into the search for general patterns or persistent dependencies. If these new comparative models tend to separate the local from the construction of literature’s “world,” significant strains of Latin Americanist criticism have also sought to distance the local from literature and the literary, often identifying the latter alternatively with either the collapse of previous emancipatory dreams or a complicity with power and domination.

Artists: Brazilian 161 The artistic identity of Brazil includes the influences of its indigenous peoples and each of the successive cultures that laid claim to the land, and thus its maritime art reveals a rich blend of native and European styles. Colonial Period Much of Brazil's early maritime art came from the artists and draftsmen who traveled to Brazil, seeking to docu­ ment the newly discovered territories. Images of the exotic Brazilian coast were sketched into personal journals and ship's logs. Maps and drawings allowed mariners to navigate the extensive Brazilian coast. There are few works by known artists, however, from the colonial period. Seventeenth-century engravings of Todos os Santos Bay, published in London, were some of Europe's first views of the Brazilian harbor. Dutch painter Frans Post (1612-1680) painted Brazilian coastal scenes in 1637.
