Dia Internacional da Mulher / International Women's Day

Após um interregno de quase três (!) anos, decidi retomar este blog. Na verdade, durante este intervalo de tempo, não deixei de ler. Pelo contrário, de acordo com o Goodreads , tenho até lido mais ultimamente. / After a nearly three (!) year gap, I decided to take up my blog again. In fact, I haven't stopped reading during this period. According to Goodreads , I've actually been reading more lately. E porque hoje é o Dia Internacional da Mulher, fica uma sugestão de leitura de uma escritora espanhola que aprecio muito, Rosa Montero . Trata-se de Histórias de Mulheres , uma coletânea de pequenas biografias de mulheres que viveram em épocas distintas e com percursos de vida tão diferentes como Agatha Christie, Simone de Beauvoir, Frida Kahlo, ou as irmãs Bronte. Infelizmente, o livro encontra-se esgotado, mas certamente será possível encontrá-lo usado ou numa qualquer biblioteca da nossa rede pública . / And because today we celebrate International Women's Day, here...

For nearly two hours, we listened to the two authors talking about books, politics and life. My favourite book from Valter is so far (I still have many to read) A Máquina de Fazer Espanhóis (of which I know only a Spanish translation: La Máquina de Hacer Españoles ). From Luís Sepúlveda the choice is harder because I have read so many that really spoke to me. The Old Man who Read Love Stories is certainly one of them (which I learned last week that was based on his own experience of living 7 months with an Amazonian tribe), but so is Mundo del Fin del Mundo , Patagonia Express , or As Rosas de Atacama (again, I can't find an English t...

Leituras de Janeiro / January Reads

I read three books in January, one children's book by British David Walliams (Gangsta Granny – I read the Portuguese version called Avozinha Gangster) and two literary fiction books, one by Japanese Kenzaburo Oe (An Echo of Heaven, I read the Portuguese version) and another one by North-American John Williams ( Stoner - again, I read the Portuguese version). My favourite was by far Stoner , if you want you can read my review here . Este mês de Janeiro li três livros, um infantil/juvenil do inglês David Walliams (li a tradução portuguesa, Avozinha Gangster) e dois livros de ficção, um do japonês Kenzaburo Oe (Um Eco do Céu) e outro do Norte-Americano John Williams ( Stoner - li também a versão portuguesa). Stoner foi, de longe, o meu favorito. Se quiserem ler o meu comentário, basta clicar aqui .
