What Should You Buy For A Dog For A Birth Day

National Reading Challenge

This "challenge" is another meme that I met through minimum 'Real Magic .



1 - How many national books are in his bookcase?
23

2 - When and where was the last national book you bought?
December/2010 - Politically Incorrect Guide the History of Brazil - Leandro Narloch

3 - What did you think of it?
I liked, and I'm willing to buy the extended edition. But it is a book to be read with caution, given the critical stance extremely controversial interpretation of some historical facts covered and naked as much as possible from ideological prejudices.

4 - Among the books you've read, what you most disliked and what surprised you the most?
Among the national books, which angered me most was Dead Cities, the Monteiro Lobato (or complete the reading). I've also read some bad things in the field of children's literature and the juvenile, although, in contrast, this is one of the most fertile parts not only in quantitative but also qualitative, in Brazilian literature. Among those most surprised me, I emphasize I am ! and The Nerve Night of Joao Gilberto Noll, better than expected, rather to consider it one of our best contemporary writers.

5 - What do you think that lack national authors to the barrier of prejudice is losing readers? Best
pedagogical approach of the Brazilian literary schools (that's all wrong, beginning of compulsory readings), most notably by some publishers in our literature and the change of consciousness that only depends on the readers themselves. Indeed, we live in a country where reading in general and in spite of that country / region is from a literary work, is far from national preference, and is discouraged (or relatively unknown) starting with the school itself, through terrorism and other pedagogical aspects above alike. But at least we are reading more lately, although the quality of the readings is not directly proportional to the amount. The widespread disinterest in reading, in my view, is a bigger problem than any bias on the nationality of literary works.

6 - Name three national books you expect to read soon:
Angel Wave - Joao Gilberto Noll

What is Brazil? - Roberto DaMatta

Near Wild at Heart - Clarice Lispector

My favorite literary character

Proposal blogging collective Books and Related

My list of favorite characters is vast and full of personality the most varied and disparate, the Hamlet of Shakespeare's play Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series (including, I have repeatedly said that I consider myself one of Hermione's pants, or better, shorts, lol), great villains like Iago in Othello the "deceased author" BrĂ¡s Cubas, the seminal anti-hero of Brazilian literature.

However, rare literary characters impress me and marked me as much as some Dostoevskian: the underground man ( Notes from Underground), Sonia and Raskolnikov (Crime and Punishment ), Prince Myshkin (The Idiot ), the Brothers Karamazov, etc.. Be the person affected by violently conflicting ideas and feelings, often paradoxical, that sometimes consume intellectual, moral and psychological, is masterly ability by Dostoevsky has to synthesize these aesthetic creations both their private anguish as the pressing of his time: the characters of Dostoevsky ; vski individuals are often extremely complex and tormented because they live in conflict with himself and the world, some split between spirituality and the denial of it, stifled by ideological and social pressures is a ; poca where the existence of God is put philosophically and scientifically in check, and [consequently] the good and evil are relativized. The possibility of different "truths" and the consequent proliferation of ideological strands only compete to become the man of today to be a more anguished than in the past and is fertile ground to nihilism, the faces modernity combined so well to the universality and timelessness in Dostoevsky's work through the psychological process of exploring the subjects that commonly his characters, characterized by a density unmatched in all literature and causes them to be so disturbingly human.

this literary terrain is so exceptional Raskolnikov the laurels of the conqueror as my favorite, by several aspects, among which the paper highlights the four main types: first is the Dostoevskian great character with which I came across - so I opened the door to a striking literary experience and psychological, his peculiar behavior bipolar and / or Psycho (capable of committing an impulsive action for cruelty or shortly thereafter, do an act of extreme generosity, and not in order, at least consciously, offset by one another) to guarantee him a place in world literature and is one of the shows as Dostoevsky was a "writer psychologist, sometimes breaking the fine line between art and psychology (as defined classical and full study of the human soul), the overwhelming psychological stalemate, moral, philosophical and to police in which he is entangled, uniquely engaging for the reader and, of course, because I identify deeply with the character in certain aspects where clarification is not entitled to this post. protagonist of Crime and Punishment , our anti-hero is a student in miserable conditions, taken by fixing monomaniac in a theory supposedly revolutionary designs (NOT all of the original), and commits a crime to basically put to the test in relation to same (although other reasons are also less at stake) will be the catalyst for a whole mess (foreshadowed) in Raskolnikov's life, which unfolds in a dizzying maze Hopelessly in descending toward decadence - or tortuously ascending to the possibility of redemption.

Some Dostoevsky's characters are consumed by conflicts and moral dilemmas, philosophical and / or ideological seemingly unsolvable reveal that, as the narrative unfolds, more poignant than the Shakespearean, an inability to conciliatory or integrative synthesis that bypasses the chaos of the Mannerist works of English playwright mature, complex but that the ambivalence of "being or to be No." because plurivalente. Impasses are resolved only spiritually, through which we may call, in a simplistic definition, pain or punishment trap, not discarding the examination of alternative routes that society, philosophy and / or revolutionary ideology offer to "save" man, yet paradoxically, negative social and ideological Russian author rarely gives way to his optimism concerning the spiritual, so most of his great works of the dilemmas suffered by the characters do not go away, or just reap the first fruits of the possibility of "salvation", this being the case of Raskolnikov, perhaps the most emblematic example of such species within the universe Dostoevskian.
