The place is charming, with a beautiful colonial mansion and expansive, shaded gardens. Everything seems to be the perfect setting. But something very strange is happening in the house… especially in the bedroom where the couple settles in, with its somber yellow wallpaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSince its publication in 1892, the drama narrated by Charlotte Perkins Gilman has been categorized as a narrative of mental aberration, a horror story in the style of Edgar Allan Poe—not only for its subject matter but also for its textual quality. Contemporary critics note, however, that \u003cem\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/em\u003e presents elements that go beyond fantasy or delirium, making this book, as Elaine R. Hedges states in the afterword to this edition, \"one of the rare literary texts by a nineteenth-century author that directly confronts the sexual politics of male-female, husband-wife relationships.\" Perhaps this is why the original text was rejected by some publishers until its publication in \u003cem\u003eNew England Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe fact is that the author, a great feminist intellectual and teacher, who reaches her literary peak in this short story, was responsible for an extremely relevant production of nonfiction texts about the condition of women in her time. Having lived with depression for a period and having received dubious psychological treatment, it is possible to perceive autobiographical elements in the story we have in hand. When we approach the female character of \u003cem\u003eThe Yellow Wallpaper\u003c\/em\u003e , a depressed woman subjected to imposing and infantilizing treatment, we realize that the uncomfortable strangeness she feels has its roots in something beyond the house and the aberrant visions awakened by the yellow wallpaper. And the strange, as Freud observed, is that which is most familiar to us.\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159275880700,"sku":"9788503012720","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/a8b264839e2f4e5b111e6a7b60619016_a2d8080f-48b6-46a3-ab01-cfd2279d3025.jpg?v=1779765789","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-papel-de-parede-amarelo","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
