{"title":"Ivan Junqueira","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"cinzas-do-espolio","title":"Ashes of the estate","description":"Poet, literary critic, and translator, Ivan Junqueira, a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters since 2000, when he took over from João Cabral de Melo Neto, is one of the few Brazilian poets who have so harmoniously divided themselves between these three strands of literature—alongside Gonçalves Dias, and passing through such diverse names as Machado de Assis, Mário de Andrade, Manuel Bandeira, and Augusto Meyer, until reaching a rich flowering after Modernism. The tenth book of an opulent oeuvre by both critic and essayist, *Ashes of the Estate* appears as the cornerstone of this strand, built alongside one of the most important poetic works of our time and a translation militancy that gave us the now-classic versions of Baudelaire, T.S. Eliot, and Dylan Thomas. Unlike previously published volumes of essays, organized based on a criterion of minimal structural order, here the author gives voice to remnants and reflections on poetry, prose fiction, essays, and literary translation. The book brings together, as the title suggests, the ashes of an estate—prefaces, introductions, some unpublished essays, and lectures he gave in recent years in Brazil and abroad. \"It can be understood as a fragmentary and discontinuous fabric whose parts are not necessarily articulated according to any principle of cohesion or reciprocity,\" he explains. In this volume, literature lovers will find a little bit of everything: from authors three centuries apart in the rich prose of the Spanish language, such as Cervantes and Ernesto Sabato, to a vast array of Brazilian poets, great romantics like Fagundes Varela, and key figures in 20th-century poetry such as Jorge de Lima, Cecília Meireles, and Carlos Drummond de Andrade; names that established themselves after Modernism, from Joaquim Cardozo to Lêdo Ivo; names from various generations of our contemporaries, from Dora Ferreira da Silva to Weydson Barros Leal, not to mention critics of the most diverse persuasions, from José Veríssimo to the great Otto Maria Carpeaux, until we arrive at well-founded reflections on the art of translation or music. *Ashes of the Estate* continues a series of collected essays that includes fundamental titles such as *In the Shadow of Orpheus*, *The Snake Charmer*, *The Sign and the Sibyl*, and *The Thread of Daedalus*.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176294596860,"sku":"9788501085221","price":74.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/bd15133752e254e7ae74bfab9368ab64_c8db6262-89b9-4fa7-8a82-afdbd3081b41.jpg?v=1778317024"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/ivan-junqueira.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
