Emily, thank you so much for this video. Jorge Amado is definitely the most famous Brazilian writer known here in Italy.. but there are so many authors I need to discover... the only magical realism I am familiar with is through other South America authors like García Márquez and Isabel Allende... time to broaden my horizons!
I tried to hold off buying a Clarice Lispector book until Jan 2025... I have amazing self-restraint. Also, I just ordered Complete Stories. Your enthusiasm overwhelmed my self-restraint😏
From a Brazilian perspective, it was truly inspiring to hear your recommendations and comments. These are the books I grew up familiar with, but always through the lens of our inherent Brazilian self-criticism and self-prejudice. Listening to you, in English, addressing a foreign audience about these stories rekindled in me the desire to revisit them all. Additionally, your clear didactics and articulate English greatly enhance the delivery of your message and help to engage new readers. Congratulations!
I don't know if it is translated into English, but one of the great sermons by Padre António Vieira is Sermão de Santo António aos Peixes, "Sermon of Saint Anthony to the Fish." I read it for the first time as required reading in high school back in Portugal. It is probably a masterpiece of oratory. It is an important writing about the issues with the Brazilian indigenous peoples and slavery. Highly recommended.
Thank you for composing this. You have given me several authors to add to my list to read. I think Lygia Fagundes Telles may the next one for me to try. You have got me interested in Rachel de Queiroz too. With My Dog Eyes by Hilst was an interesting experience but I am not rushing to read another by her.
When I was in university, I read just about everything by Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges that I could find. But until I first heard of Clarice Lispector earlier this year, the only other Brazilian author I’d ever read was Euclides da Cunha and his “Rebellion in the Backlands”, first published in English in 1944, which I read when I was barely out of my teens. At the time, I possessed only the most basic knowledge of Brazil, and knew absolutely nothing about the rebellion led by this charismatic figure known as Antonio the Counselor, which took place in the area of the town of Canudos in the late 1890s. By the time I’d finished the 500-plus page book, I had a acquired a detailed knowledge of the geography of this little corner of Brazil, as well as the army officers and rebel leaders involved in this small-scale but bloody and barbaric civil war. The book was fascinating, mainly because I had no idea how it would turn out.
I loved hearing all your recommendations! Dom Casmurro sounds so psychologically intriguing. Sounds like Machado de Assis brings up interesting questions. Also glad to hear about Brazilian magical realism. Thank you for such a great variety of classics!
I'm so glad you liked it! Machado is one of our best ever, Murilo Rubião is probably the best when it comes to magical realism I think. But the video was getting too big and I couldn't mention everyone I wanted. Thank you for watching xoxo

@@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk Hey! Just for fun, did you know that becoming a diplomat in Brazil is one of the most prestigious and competitive career paths you can take?

The salary is great, and folks spend years preparing for it-though most eventually give up and end up looking for other easier public service jobs.

Hello Polysemic i loved your comments about brazilian literature. You know more about our literature than a lot of people i knew em Recefe/Brasil. Thank you for your joyfull and emphatic attention.
It’s a very incredible thing to come across such a special video about Brazilian literature. Are you Brazilian? I asked this because I am. Machado de Assis, as well as other Brazilian writers, is so fascinating that the whole world deserves to know him too! I adore Dom Casmurro. For me, this is the best novel in our literature.
I really recommend the trilogy 'O Tempo e o Vento' (Time and the Wind), written by Erico Verissimo. That is my favorite books. In special the excerpt "Um certo capitão Rodrigo"
Hi Emily! I'm from Argentina, I've been learning Portuguese (passively...) for a few years. I've read "Ensaio sobre a cegueira" in portuguese, no problem, but I'm afraid I'll get lost reading Clarice or Assis...idk, what do you say? Any tips? Also I'm going to Brazil soon. Any books you think i should buy as my first Brazilian books or "intro to Brazilian lit"? I can't pick 😭 Thank you, love your videos
Hi Lara, I think Borges and the eternal orangutans by Luis Fernando Verissímo is the best place for you to start. The writing is simple and the vocabulary is modern, in addition to having a clear plot, which should be easy to follow. Good luck and thank you!
@@TheLinguistsLibrary Thank you for your channel! May I ask you a couple of questions? Have you read anything by João Guimarães Rosa and/or António Lobo Antunes? In case you have, I'd love to hear your opinion about their works, as I've got a copy of Grande Sertão (Veredas) waiting to be read, and I heard great things about Antunes. Last question: since you mentioned Vieira, did you watch Palavra & Utopia?
@@viviandarkbloom8847 Rosa's a Brazilian polymath, 'Veredas' was one of Lispector's favorite books so it has been on my bucketlist for a while. Haven't read anything by Antunes but some of my Portuguese followers have recommended him to me before--so he must up my alley.
Wow, have I some reading ahead of me, I adore magical realm, stream-of-consciousness & mythology/folklore (& I don't mind a little poetry either??!!??), so there's much joy here. Everything's new to me, apart from Lispector (whom I'm really enjoying thanks to you). This is a terrific survey & introduction - awesome!
I was thinking of you when I found the anthology, I think it's a good start. So glad you're enjoying Lispector! Thank you for commenting, this video took forever 😅
as a brazilian, i have to say you only recommended bangers. in the poetry category, i would also recommend joão cabral de melo neto, i don't know how well his poetry can be translated but they are an incredible display of technical beauty.
I studied Sermão de Santo António aos Peixes when I was in high school. At first I completely disregarded it because it was a sermon, but as you said it’s such a linguistic and historical relevant text. I think it’s a great recommendation! I also remember loving the Gabriela remake, Juliana Paes is unmatched! I should read the book as well, although I tried other Jorge Amado books and wasn’t a huge fan. I have O Alienista and As Meninas sitting on my shelves, so thank you for reigniting my interest in them! Unfortunately I’m not super well versed in Brazilian literature, but I hope with your recommendations, I will be :) From Portugal, I would recommend Dulce Maria Cardoso and Valter Hugo Mãe, if you haven’t read them yet.

Muito obrigada por essa lista maravilhosa! Vou adorar ler mais Machado, não conhecia muitos des contos. Com certeza vou falar mais sobre a literatura brasileira no futuro.
Lygia Fagundes Telles é uma contista maravilhosa também. Tem um conto dela que lembra um pouco Edgar Allan Poe. A igreja do diabo é um conto muito bom de Machado de Assis também. ❤
@@TheLinguistsLibrary É "Venha ver o pôr do sol". Tem outro conto muito bom dela repleto de simbolismos. Se chama "As cerejas", se você tiver interesse também.
Hello, Emily! Thank you for all these selections. I want to broaden my international reading. That last play sounds like the one for me. Funny coincidence, I am reading the Taming of the Shrew right now 😊. I have a random question for you 😮. Have you ever seen the movie City of God? That story of the gangs in Rio was one of the most brutal movies I've seen. The main character Rocket, Knockout Ned, etc. Based on a true story too. The main character would go on to be a news photographer. Are there any works about him or those gangs?
City of God is based on the novel by Paulo Lins, who grew up in the same favela the movie portrays. Lins' experiences and writing brought the story to life, while Alexandre Rodrigues brought the role of Buscapé to the screen. The actor never pursued a career as a writer or journalist in real life, as far as I know.
Brilliant, as per usual, but I have a question and a statement. The question first: what do you think that the repeating sequences (of phrases or words) in Clarice Lispector's book(s?) "Near to the Wild Heart" signify? Is it an echo or merely a vehicle of reassurance? Also, sometime just before 24:38 I folded my hands into one another (phenotype L) while lying in the tub and listening and then you did the same thing. Pop psychology seems to think that it means stress or anxiety but I was rather relaxed.
I think every time she uses repetition she's emphasizing something, but the purpose of that emphasis varies. I was as relax as one can be in front of a camera. You're really observant. Thanks for watching
@@TheLinguistsLibrary by the by, since I've been looking for newspaper articles on Clarice I came across a bunch in Spanish in Google Newspaper archives if you are interested. They are free to access.
May I suggest a few more works of brazilian literature? Here it goes: First, "Malagueta, Perus e Bacanaço" by João Antônio. Great book with urban characters. Second, "O Púcaro Búlgaro", by Campos de Carvalho. This one is strongly influenced by surrealism. And finally, "Morte e vida Severina", the most known work of the poet João Cabral de Melo Neto.
As a Brazilian, I recommend a writer of the same level as Machado de Assis and his name is Lima Barreto.I don't know if you're American but I just discovered an incredible book of American literature by John Steinbeck called Of Mice and Men, I'm going to buy it.
Amazing. Greetings from Brazil, you're right, both books are excellent. Saudações do Brasil, amei seu canal, você é brasileira? Sou aqui de Goiás rsrs O meu preferido de Jorge Amado é "Capitães da Areia".
The graphic novel (edited by Fátima Mesquita) are those trying to read it in Portuguese, the English translation isn't graphic but it does have all the helpful footnotes you'll need.
@@TheLinguistsLibrary Thank you so much! By the way, if you are interested in Brazilian comics, a collection of experimental comics was published in July by Fantagraphics - it's called Braba: A Brazilian Comics Anthology, ed. Rafael Grampa & Janaina de Luna.
It's been too long since I read it for me to remember but I'll reread it soon now that you reminded me of it. I enjoyed his humor, I think. But it's definitely a seminal text.

Second, "O Púcaro Búlgaro", by Campos de Carvalho. This one is strongly influenced by surrealism. And finally, "Morte e vida Severina", the most known work of the poet João Cabral de Melo Neto.
Thank you so much for your suggestions. Campos de Carvalho is supposed to be humorous so I'm excited for that!
As a Brazilian, I recommend a writer of the same level as Machado de Assis and his name is Lima Barreto.I don't know if you're American but I just discovered an incredible book of American literature by John Steinbeck called Of Mice and Men, I'm going to buy it.
Steinbeck is amazing, I love The Grapes of Wrath! Thanks for the recommendation.
Leiam os livros de Carla Madeira. Maravilhosa ❤
Obrigada
Amazing. Greetings from Brazil, you're right, both books are excellent. Saudações do Brasil, amei seu canal, você é brasileira? Sou aqui de Goiás rsrs O meu preferido de Jorge Amado é "Capitães da Areia".

Amazing video. Do you have any interest in brazilian Sci-fi or sci-fi in general?
I don't read enough sic-fi to be honest. I would love to read more, do you have any recomendation?
@@TheLinguistsLibrary I recently tried the ''Padrões de Contato'' trilogy by Jorge Luiz Calife and liked it quite a bit
@@luisxo5167 It has dolphins, I'm in! Thank you!
for me Hilda Hilst is the greatest brazilian writers!!!

Could you say something more about the Iracema graphic novel? I can't find any reference to it online. Who made it & what language is used?
The graphic novel (edited by Fátima Mesquita) are those trying to read it in Portuguese, the English translation isn't graphic but it does have all the helpful footnotes you'll need.
@@TheLinguistsLibrary Thank you so much! By the way, if you are interested in Brazilian comics, a collection of experimental comics was published in July by Fantagraphics - it's called Braba: A Brazilian Comics Anthology, ed. Rafael Grampa & Janaina de Luna.
@@colonelweird I am interested, thank you so much!
I own a copy of Macunaíma by Mário de Andrade. Would be interested in your comments if you have already read
It's been too long since I read it for me to remember but I'll reread it soon now that you reminded me of it. I enjoyed his humor, I think. But it's definitely a seminal text.
WEll , you are just beautiful. That's what matter's.
You're very kind, thank you.

Now that X is banned there they must be getting more time to read fiction (instead of reading screenshots of excerpts)! 😅
