INTRODUÇÃO À LITERATURA DO SÉCULO XX ensaio de epistemologia literária

Vintila Horia

REF.21796

Year 1978

Lisbon; Arcádia; In-8.º of 409(3) pages; Paperback.

First Portuguese edition of «Introducción a la literatura del siglo XX», originally published in Madrid in 1976. Vintila Horia proposes a broad interpretation of contemporary literature, regarding it as a form of knowledge comparable, though expressed in its own language, to philosophy, science, psychology and the arts. He examines the major literary movements of the 20th century and their relationship with the profound cultural and intellectual transformations of modernity.

The study covers the European avant-gardes, Futurism, Expressionism, Cubism and Surrealism, as well as authors such as Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Musil, Broch, Rilke, Thomas Mann, Hemingway and other major figures of modern literature. Translated by João Maia. A work of particular interest for the study of literary theory and the intellectual and aesthetic currents of the 20th century.

AS IMAGINAÇÕES DA IMAGEM

Lima de Freitas

REF.36813

Year 1977

Lisbon; Arcádia; In-8.º of 232 pages; Illustrated; Paperback.

First edition of this important collection of essays by Lima de Freitas, Portuguese painter, illustrator and thinker. The author develops a reflection on image and imagination, exploring the relationships between artistic creation, perception, symbol and knowledge. The image is approached beyond its purely visual dimension, as a vehicle of meaning and an instrument for understanding reality, from a perspective combining art, philosophy and symbolic thought.

A representative work of Lima de Freitas's theoretical writings and the interdisciplinary nature of his thought. Profusely illustrated, including plates outside the text, it was published as no. 2 of the «Artes e Letras» series, directed by the author himself. The significance of the work was reaffirmed by its republication forty years later by IADE, an institution of which Lima de Freitas was the first director.

Year 1977

Lisbon; Arcádia; In-8.º of 219(1) pages; Illustrated; Paperback.

Second Portuguese edition, revised and enlarged in accordance with the tenth Italian edition, of «Saper vedere l’architettura», one of Bruno Zevi's fundamental works and a classic of 20th-century architectural theory and criticism. Zevi proposes an understanding of architecture centred on space, which he regards as its true protagonist, analysing the different ways in which architectural works can be represented and interpreted through key examples from the history of architecture.

Organised into six main sections, the work examines the lack of understanding of architecture, architectural space, its representation, different conceptions of space throughout history, interpretations of architecture, and principles for a modern history of the discipline. Translated by Maria Isabel Gaspar and Gaëtan Martins de Oliveira. Illustrated throughout and with additional plates containing numerous photographs and drawings; published as no. 1 of the «Artes e Letras» series.

First Portuguese edition of «Memoirs of an Oxford Scholar», an erotic narrative attributed to John Cleland, author of «Fanny Hill». The work follows the amorous and sexual experiences of a young student, belonging to the tradition of the 18th-century English libertine novel, characterised by its frank depiction of amorous relationships and its satirical observation of social customs and behaviour.

REF.16481

Year 1975

Lisbon; Arcádia; In-8.º of 234(6) pages; Paperback.

Anthology devoted to the short fiction of the Marquis de Sade, bringing together a selection of stories in which the author explores some of the characteristic themes of his work: the transgression of moral and social conventions, desire, cruelty, irony, and the interplay of chance and fate. Beyond their erotic dimension, these texts reveal Sade's satirical side and his criticism of the behaviour and values of contemporary society.

Introduction, selection and translation by João Costa. Published by Arcádia, this edition contributed to the dissemination of Sade's fiction in Portugal, presenting an aspect of the author distinct from his longer and better-known libertine novels.

Denis Diderot

REF.36800

Year 1975

Lisbon; Arcádia; In-8.º of 219(5) pages; Paperback.

Third edition of this Portuguese translation of «La Religieuse», a novel written by Diderot around 1760 and published posthumously in book form in 1796. The work originated in a literary hoax devised by Diderot and several friends involving the Marquis de Croismare, subsequently developing into one of the author's best-known narratives. Through the memoirs of Suzanne Simonin, a young woman forced by her family to take religious vows against her will, Diderot denounces enforced enclosure, abuses within convent life and the consequences of the repression of individual freedom.

Translated by João Gaspar Simões. A particularly representative work of Diderot's Enlightenment thought, combining criticism of religious institutions, a defence of individual freedom and a penetrating psychological portrayal of its protagonist.

First Portuguese edition of «Les Onze Mille Verges ou les Amours d’un Hospodar», an erotic novel by Guillaume Apollinaire, clandestinely published in Paris in 1907 under the initials «G. A.».

Translated by Belissário Praxedes, with a preface by João Costa. Published in October 1971 in the «Biblioteca Arcádia — Clássicos» series, this first Portuguese translation bears on its cover the description «the accursed book of the accursed poet», evoking both the clandestine character of the original work and the provocative nature of Apollinaire's writing.

Lisbon; Arcádia; In-8.º of 119(7) pages; Paperback.

First Portuguese edition of this novel by Pierre Jean Jouve, originally published in France in 1925 and considered one of the major works of his fiction. Set in 19th-century Italy, the narrative follows Paulina Pandolfini and her passion for Michele, developing an intense conflict between desire, guilt, religion and death.

Translated by Ângela Sarmento. A significant novel in the literary renewal undertaken by Jouve from 1925 onwards, at the beginning of what the author himself regarded as a new phase of his work.

Lisbon; Ordem dos Arquitectos; In-4.º of 2 volumes with XXV(1)-352 and 440 pages; Illustrated; Hardcover.

Al Berto

REF.7371

Year 1982

Lisbon; Contexto Editora; In-8.º of 78 pages; Paperback.

Expanded edition of one of the fundamental works from the first phase of Al Berto's poetry. The original edition, issued in a very limited circulation, had been published by the author in Sines earlier that same year; this Contexto edition substantially enlarged the collection and marked the poet's entry into a wider publishing circuit.

A work centred on the gaze, memory and the relationship between writing and image, permeated by a strong corporeal and homoerotic dimension. Photography, desire, solitude, landscape and urban experience emerge through fragmentary and intensely sensory writing, already revealing several elements that would become characteristic of Al Berto's poetry. A particularly significant title in the development of his work, later incorporated into «O Medo».

One of the characteristic titles of Fernando Assis Pacheco's poetic production of the 1980s, displaying his particular ability to transform everyday episodes and personal memories into poetry that is at once affectionate, humorous and disenchanted. Cover by Augusto T. Dias.

Casimiro de Brito

REF.36766

Year 2000

1stEdition

Leiria; Editorial Diferença; In-8.º of 230(2) pages; Paperback.

First edition of this poetic collection by Casimiro de Brito, bringing together «Intensidades», «Onde o Corpo Acaba», «Opus Affettuoso», «Última Núpcia» and «Ofício de Oleiro», combining previously published texts with others then unpublished. The volume displays a notable poetic unity, characterised by purified language, brevity and expressive concentration.

The author himself conceived «Arte Pobre» as a search for increasingly refined poems reduced to their essentials. Love, the body, desire, death and an awareness of transience run through poetry of great formal restraint, whose verbal economy at times approaches the Eastern poetic tradition. «Opus Affettuoso», included here, had received the Portuguese P.E.N. Club Poetry Prize.

REF.7846

Year 1979

Lisbon; Edições &etc; In-8º of 12 (4); pages; Paperback

Work number 1 of the "Contramargem" collection

Facsimile reproduction of the extremely rare first edition of this famous pamphlet by Camilo Castelo Branco, originally printed in Porto, at the Typographia do Ecco, in 1848, without indication of the author's name. Inspired by a matricide that occurred in Lisbon that same year—a daughter accused of killing and dismembering her mother—the narrative was written in the style of chapbook literature, exploring the event through a discourse that is simultaneously dramatic, moralizing, and sensationalist.

One of Camilo's first narrative works and one of his first major publishing successes. The original edition had rapid circulation and successive printings, and today it is extremely rare. This reproduction, part of the "Contramargem" collection, preserves the typographical composition and graphic presentation of the 1848 pamphlet.

First edition of this critical study devoted to the poetry of Herberto Helder, published as no. 8 in the «Margens do Texto» series. Maria Estela Guedes examines the poet's work with particular attention to its symbolic language and processes of transformation, exploring themes such as the body, matter, alchemy, eroticism, death and poetic creation.

1stEdition

Lisbon; Assírio & Alvim; In-8.º of 111(9) pages; Paperback.

First and only standalone edition of this collection of Amerindian poems rendered into Portuguese by Herberto Helder. Published in the same year as «Ouolof» and «Doze Nós numa Corda», it forms part of the group of works which the poet preferred to describe as «poems changed into Portuguese», an expression reflecting his conception of translation as a process of poetic recreation.

It brings together texts from different indigenous traditions of the Americas, connected with mythical, ritual and cosmogonic worlds. These versions occupy a particular place in Herberto Helder's work, in which translation is closely related to his own poetic practice. A work of interest in the context of the reception of non-European poetics in contemporary Portuguese literature.

Herberto Helder brings together here, in a form extensively revised and reorganised by the author himself, a significant part of his previous poetic work.
