Aquela vida antiga aparece-me despida de muitos encantos que lhe achei; mas é também exato que perdeu muitos espinhos que a fez molesta, e, de memória, conservo alguma recordação doce e feiticeira.

"The Words that Remain" by Stênio Gardel. Being queer in rural Brasil 🌈🇧🇷

Hello readers! If you have been reading this blog for a little while, you might now that during the pandemic I picked up Portuguese as a new language. I started reading more and more novels and poetry written in its beautiful, melodic prose and I even created a list of queer books that were translated to English from the Portuguese. Brazil is, after all, a huge and diverse country where queer…

Just got two used books from a donationat my city's park.

Vidas secas (literally Dry lives in English), a classic of Brazilian literature, being very important culturally due to its depiction of hunger and poorness on Brazil's Northeast.

And Vampire Diaries, a YA vampire novel which inspired a show I've never watched nor know anything about, but I like vampires and have very few physical contemporary books, so I grabbed it.

42

first, thank you :3 <3

42. favourite book(s)

Amavisse e Outros Poemas // Amavisse and another poems - Hilda Hilst.

Hilda Hilst is one of my favorite poets along with her personality. She was a woman of her time, she was not perfect, but she without knowing she was ahead of her time. She was brilliant. And her love poems are one of the most gorgeous things I ever read.

I love Gregorio Duvivier books:

Joining the dots poems of love and big bang by Gregorio Duvivier

I love this book because, I was fascinated how funny and beautiful Gregorio mind is. And I took SO LONG to get this book. Like really. And I met him personally and he signed my other two books.

Put Some Farofa by Gregorio Duvivier

This book is more like a chronic book with some scripts on it. He is a brilliant writer and he has a big company of humor in brazil called Backdoor. (Porta dos Fundos) and I love them very much. Its unbelievable how they can change your day and your mood when they write so well and make us laugh so fucking hard.

LOSETIME - Everything that I do when i don't know what to do - Gregorio Duvivier

This book is mostly with drawings (its all drawing really) but cute drawings with much humor and its just great. :))

----------------------------------------------------------------------

An Apprenticeship or The Book of Pleasures - Clarice Lispector

This book was so nice to read and its such a beautiful story. I also sorta relate a bit with the character but the most important thing about this book is how the writer delivers her story. I'm gonna say the same thing about (Laughable Love????????) Risiveis Amores by Milan Kundera who changed the way I see literature.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas or Epitaph of a Small Winner - Machado de Assis

To be honest, when I read this, I was like.... "Ok...thats it?" but again, after a while you start to understand what this story is about. And there are rumours that this book is a critic to the spoiled/rich society of Brazillian of that time (which was 1880s). So, in that time what was the hype of the book shelf? Romanticism. And romanticism by that time was always praising the rich, the bourgeoisie way of life. And this book he does exactly the OPPOSITE. Thats why people say he kinda inaugurate the REALISM ERA. So this book talks about the memoirs of a character who already DIED and he talks about his life until his death. Again the way he delivers the phrases are fantastic and the LAST phrase of the book is my favorite but I'm not gonna quote here to don't spoil.

But the first ones are my favorite as well:

Brás Cubas (the man/ the character) he writes

To the worm who first gnawed on the cold flesh of my corpse, I dedicate with fond remembrance these Posthumous Memoirs"
