Perto do coração selvagem by Clarice Lispector PT
Description:
O surgimento de Perto do coração selvagem, em 1943, causou grande impacto no cenário literário brasileiro, proporcionando à autora aclamação imediata da crítica e de seus colegas escritores. Houve quem encontrasse no livro a influência de Virginia Woolf, ao passo que outros apostavam em Joyce, seguindo a falsa pista da epígrafe da qual Clarice pinçou seu título: "Ele estava só. Estava abandonado, feliz, perto do coração selvagem da vida." Ambos os grupos estavam errados, apesar do uso do fluxo de consciência pela escritora estreante a justificar tais correlações. Ocorre, no entanto, que esse h... continue

Reden An Den Kleinen Mann by Wilhelm Reich DE
Description:
Listen, Little Man! (Reden An Den Kleinen Mann) is a great physician's quiet talk to each one of us, the average human being, the Little Man. Written in 1946 in answer to the gossip and defamation that plagued his remarkable career, it tells how Reich watched, at first naively, then with amazement, and finally with horror, at what the Little Man does to himself; how he suffers and rebels; how he esteems his enemies and murders his friends; how, wherever he gains power as a "representative of the people," he misuses this power and makes it crueler than the power it has supplanted... continue
