{"product_id":"penguin-book-of-brazilian-short-stories-the","title":"Penguin Book of Brazilian Short Stories, The","description":"What does Brazilian literature mean to you? Football and favelas, carnival and caipirinhas? Or perhaps, past these cliches, a multifarious literary landscape comes into view?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpanning 150 years of Brazilian history, these stories are a thrilling cross-section of a diverse short story culture. Ranging from luscious avant-garde writing by Clarice Lispector to realist wit by Machado de Assis, The Penguin Book of Brazilian Short Stories takes in wild humour, heart-breaking drama, the legacy of slavery, the influence of waves of immigration, and a surprising preponderance of ants. Ethnicity, family and loyalty collide in Chico Buarque’s ‘The Cousins from Campos’; and a man who absolutely does not know Javanese builds a career as a translator in Lima Barreto’s ‘The Man Who Knew Javanese’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStories also comes with a note from the translator, illuminating the creative process of translation, and the anthology is supported by exploratory apparatus from editors Daniel Hahn and Padma Viswanathan. Rich, thought-provoking and playful, The Penguin Book of Brazilian Short Stories is a landmark text.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58469021155663,"sku":"9780241678350","price":43.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9780241678350_1-penguin-book-of-brazilian-short-stories-the.jpg?v=1786635875","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/penguin-book-of-brazilian-short-stories-the","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
