Beautiful thing: to consider a writer as your family. I am always intrigued by this question that why do we feel so close to some writers to the point that they become inseparable. As one writer wrote, "liking a person of past deeply is an indication that we were probably very close to them."....
Dear lost cousin, what a nice approach to this tag! Thank you so much for creating this response video to the tag, and sorry for not commenting earlier: The last week has been very busy with my daughter moving out, - and quite a bit of renovation work in her new flat where I had to support. Slowly returning to a more normal mode of life. Btw: I think there's a second link between our families, that is via Machado de Assis. I hope one day I'll find the time to learn Portuguese so I'll be able to read him in lingua. Best regards, - David
Hey David, so glad you tagged me, this was a delight to make. I kept calling you Dave, I'm sorry about that. I love that you're related to uncle Machado too! If you haven't yet, you should read The Alienist by him, it's a real masterpiece. Warm regards, CL Pessoa
@@TheLinguistsLibrary No worries about calling me Dave, I'm used to it 😀. Thanks for recommending The Alienist, - it's on my tbr list now! Best regards, David
Hell yeah Mary Shelly was insteumental to me as a reader. Frankenstein was the book that simultanuously thought me that classics can be very enjoyable, and that there is something beyond enjoyement that you can get out of books. It was probably the first book that made me think about it for months after reading it.
I love the idea of this tag! What a cornucopia of literary brilliance your family is! It’s so nice to see Agatha Christie alongside Dante and Tolstoy! Her work may not be “highbrow” but she was a master of her form.
I read a lot of commercial genre, as long as the story is entertaining I don't have a problem. Thanks for watching buddy, I suspect little Bren must be keeping you and your s.o. busy!
Poetober is becoming real now! So grateful that you're joining in as I suspect you'll have much more to say on the poetry side of Poe than me (as I haven't read as much poetry in general up to this point as I'd like to) Also, I'll have to read some of Cora Coralina's work as well as read more from Pessoa. I found myself consumed by his Book of Disquiet, so I need to read more of his writing
This is a very cool concept. There are so many intriguing authors mentioned here - I want to read all of them! You described Le Guin perfectly, with her variety of genres, but her consistent writerly voice throughout it all. I’ve read some of her fantasy and her poetry, and want to read her science fiction next. Poetober sounds exciting! Great video, Emily!
I loved this video! You inspire me when it comes to classics, which I’m so ill-read in, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear Le Guin and Cornwell make your list! I read The Dispossessed earlier this year and need to read more Le Guin. I adored Cornwell’s Warlord trilogy. Happy Poetober reading!
This is a delightful introduction to some interesting authors, and it seems to have just popped up on RUclips for me out of nowhere. I'm pretty familiar with some of those authors, but the Brazilians were new to me. Thank you!
Wonderful video! Also thank you so much for tagging me. And now I need to open my notebook and make a note of all your recommendations of authors, books and other booktubers. Warm regards, E.
In case you want to revisit your first boyfriend at some point, I’d recommend some of the lyrical essays in the books ‘Les Noces’ and ‘L’été’: his Sisyphean happiness there takes the form, at times, of a lush and moving celebration of nature, life, love, the body, and the Algerian sun. “If I had to write a book on morality, it would have 100 pages and 99 would be blank. On the last one, I’d write: ‘I know one duty only and that is to love.’” (from ‘Carnets I’)
Ciao, Emily! I was already having a great day. It got even better when a notification told me I was mentioned in your video 🥳. This is such a unique tag. I look forward to participating. I already have a couple good answers. If my Italian Goddess Monica Bellucci has written anything in her life, I'll say she's my wife 😂🇮🇹😍. I must admit I've really fallen behind on learning Italian. I've picked up a few words in Spanish however. There's a large Hispanic population where I live and work, so knowing a few lines helps. HAPPY READING 📚 ✌️😃
@@TheLinguistsLibrary sorry about the absence of my comments. I just returned to NY from Europe and I’ve been gone for quite some time. Happy to have the leisure to watch your videos!
You’ve got a big family! Active love life too. You’ve read a ton for how young you look. Great for you!!!! Try Mysteries by Knut Hamsun. He’s a lesser known master, he writes from the soul.
Do you know the Margaret Rutherford Miss Marples? They are an absolute hoot, & divine! A 'recovering nihilist' - love it. I probably read more Sartre & De Beauvoir than Camus, but I do enjoy measured doses of Camus. And I am quite addicted to Kierkegaard. Thanks for another very enjoyable & engaging video.
No, this is the first I hear of her, she played Miss Marple in four movies, I am so intrigued. I'll try to watch "Murder, she wrote" this weekend. Thanks for the rec and thank you for watching!
I am fascinated by this approach to literature. I had my Camus moment too. He is worth returning to now and again. I have not quite forsaken him. A writer who was the lover of Simone de Beauvoir, namely Nelson Algren intrigued me - he might be a kind of bad brother type - the existentialists always called him in when they needed defending. A father figure, might be Lin Yutang, a brilliant and witty man, whose works have been in my library for a couple of decades in one form or other. A sister might be Katherine Mansfield. A man I knew Max Sebald (W.G. Sebald) certainly figures as a friend of sorts. I always liked H.G. Wells (born on my day 21st September), a kind of grandfather. George Eliot would be my literary grandmother. What an astute intellectual. Henry James would another uncle. Perhaps my favourite writer alongside John Donne. Actually I think my literary family would be so large that they would star in a Netflix series :-) . They might change by the day.
I still have love for Camus, I just don't hang out with nihilists as much anymore. Love George Eliot as a nan! I must read more of your sister Katherine Mansfield, thanks for the reminder!
The abyss I look at the drops of rain Like tears on my window pane Hypnotic stream On the edge of a dream Mirror in mirror Within - the quiet sound A brooding song Comforting sadness - friendship Suspended on a shallow breath I stand on the edge I dream, I fear, I hope I live, I die- I clutch On a moonless day On the edge of time On the edge Looking in
Nicely done Emily! Papa Hemingway will be cross to have missed out. He had so many wives though he might be estranged from your side of the family! Mind you he was a cat man and they might fall out with your dog! Best wishes and happy reading.
Great books, great authors, good pronunciation, amazing speech! The best thing is being Brazilian and see an comfrade making literary content in english (and make a silly commentary about thiskkkkkkkkk)
Bueeenas, me encantó el video. Me gustaria saber si podrias hacer, o si ya tenés, una lista de libros en portugués sencillos, para aprender el idioma. Saludos!
Yes absolutely, I love to about her, but do you mean a 'Where to start', an 'All about' video or just a review of a specific book/collection she wrote?
Pessoa is really a good choice. One of the most original poets of the 20th century. If i had to choose a triple or better quadruple name from the authors who made me, it would be something like.....Yasunari Lautreamont Swinburne-Proust......and that sounds ridiculous......if not retarded!....and i also excluded the philosophers who are just as important to me as the writers......especially one from South America who i just discovered recently. Not from Brazil but Colombia.......Nicolas Gomez Davila.......absolutely brilliant thinker! Every single aphorism hits like a hammer or a wake-up call. Anyways...it's wonderful to see a lovely and enchanting creature like you celebrating literature on her channel................and not movies or make-up, like countless others.

Hi Mark, thank you for watching. Phillip is a gem!

Some of Pessoa's short-stories, the ones based in Lisbon, resemble Poe's, same eerie vibes.
Long live Poetober!

Pessoa was such an interesting person. He and Tolstoy in my DNA. Woolf, the Brontës, Proust, Henry James.
I'll look forward to your Pessoa video.
Sounds like we're related! I'm currently reading Richard Zenith's bio on him, thanks for the encouragement.
Wonderful video! Also thank you so much for tagging me. And now I need to open my notebook and make a note of all your recommendations of authors, books and other booktubers. Warm regards, E.

@@TheLinguistsLibrary You're welcome
The abyss
I look at the drops of rain
Like tears on my window pane
Hypnotic stream
On the edge of a dream
Mirror in mirror
Within - the quiet sound
A brooding song
Comforting sadness - friendship
Suspended on a shallow breath
I stand on the edge
I dream, I fear, I hope
I live, I die-
I clutch
On a moonless day
On the edge of time
On the edge
Looking in
I feel honored, thank you so much for sharing your art here!

To be honest, he should've been here! If you feel like doing the tag, I would love to hear about the rest of your family.
nice family tree ~ jealous that you had Emily Dickinson as a teacher, she's the best!
What a coincidence, I was just at your channel watching you talk about Mary Shelley and your trip to Bath! Dickinson is my favorite poet

Can u do a video on maya angelou
Yes absolutely, I love to about her, but do you mean a 'Where to start', an 'All about' video or just a review of a specific book/collection she wrote?
To me Camus is more absurdist than he is cynical
He was an important writer in my life and I need to return to him to be honest.
