9786555872989RECORD. new. Novo romance da autora do fen�meno Tudo Ǹ rio VǸspera retoma a escrita brilhante e contagiante de Carla Madeira que desperta todo tipo de emo��o no leitor. Carla Madeira cria personagens que parecem estar vivos diante de n��s. As emo����es que sentem s�o palpǭveis e suas rea����es aut�nticas. Temos a sensa��o de conhec�-los de perto inclusive as contradi����es e os pontos cegos. Tal virtude Ǹ evidente em seu livro de estreia e grande sucesso Tudo Ǹ rio 2014 mas tambǸm no livro seguinte A natureza da mordida 2018.Os personagens de VǸspera este seu novo romance possuem a mesma incr�vel for��a vital. Mas se em Tudo Ǹ rio Carla os criou com poucas pinceladas e tra��os incisivos aqui para delinear suas personalidades ela opta por uma superposi��o de camadas psicol��gicas. Se antes eles primavam por temperamentos drǭsticos � capazes de extremos de paix�o ci�me ��dio e perd�o � aqui a estratǸgia gradativa de composi��o confere-lhes uma dose maior de mistǸrio sugerindo ao leitor antecipa����es que s�� aos poucos se confirmam ou n�o. A for��a emocional continua existindo porǸm estǭ menos vis�vel o que deixa a atmosfera ainda mais carregada de suspense e tens�o.A narrativa come��a com a pergunta: como se chega ao extremo Vedina uma mulher destro��ada por um casamento marcado pelo desamor em um momento de descontrole abandona seu filho e imediatamente arrependida volta para o lugar onde o deixou e n�o encontra quaisquer vest�gios de sua presen��a. Este Ǹ o acontecimento nuclear da trama que exp��e as entranhas de uma fam�lia � pai alc��olatra m�e controladora irm�os g�meos tensionados pelas diferen��as � que como tantas outras fam�lias torna-se um lugar onde as singularidades de cada um n�o s�o acolhidas criando rachaduras por onde a viol�ncia se infiltra.Contada em dois tempos o dia do abandono e os dias que vieram antes dele o romance avan��a como duas ondas atǸ que elas se chocam e se iluminam. O leitor se v� diante de um espantoso presente que exp��e o quanto as palavras s�o capazes de inventar a verdade. ""O tempo flutua invis�vel e em espesso presente. Nada apodrece sem ele. Nada floresce. Nada se torna amǭvel. Nenhum ��dio viceja. Nenhuma umidade seca. Nenhuma sede cede. As tempestades n�o inquietam nele ventos as avalanches n�o podem soterrǭ-lo a perplexidade n�o o paralisa o mal n�o o amea��a e o bem n�o faz com que se demore. Mas eis que um acontecimento um �nico acontecimento captura o tempo e o aprisiona."" RECORD unknown

1794List2989New York City 1794. Two letters: one three-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 9 inches folded with tear at seal else fine; one three-page letter measuring 7 ¾ x 9 ¾ inches folded with very small tears at some folds else fine. Overall fine. Brown Benson & Ives was a Rhode Island-based firm founded by Nicholas Brown Jr. 1769–1841 George Benson 1752–1836 and Thomas Poynton Ives 1769–1835.1 Benson and Ives were merchants; Brown was a merchant and the namesake of Brown University in Providence Rhode Island. The letters are from “Jos†Joseph Green and Nicholas Cooke & Co. The signature on the latter does not appear to belong to the slaver and Rhode Island governor though the letter could have been written on his behalf by an employee of his company as it is signed “Nicholas Cooke & Co.â€<br /> <br /> This company writing in May discusses the “dull†taste of recent tea imports and a captain quarantining due to fever and relays some information about Brown Benson & Ives’ ships as well as those of some other companies. In particular they write that “F. Robinson & Co. informed us this day that their ship would sail for Canton in a week at most they expect Congress will give them liberty the House of Representatives have already done itâ€. This ship likely required Congressional approval because of the embargo passed in March of that year on ships going from the US to any foreign port.2 This embargo was passed in response to British ships capturing American ones in the West Indies to interrupt trade with France as the two were then engaged in the French Revolutionary Wars. Cooke & Co. inform the firm that “there can be nothing certain learnt respecting the continuation of the embargo. Mr. Jay sails for London on Sunday next.†They are probably referring to John Jay who in 1794 negotiated a treaty between the US and Britain that relieved some of the post-war tension between the countries.<br /> <br /> The later letter comes from Joseph Green who notes having dispatched a ship “immediately after the Embargoâ€. Besides providing the prices his company would pay for various articles Brown and company had inquired about Green’s main concern is madeira a type of wine produced on the eponymous Portuguese island colony. Green describes that year’s vintage as “flattering and likely to be very abundant†and anticipates that prices “will be considerably lower than they were the last year†although “the market continues goodâ€. Madeira was extremely popular in Colonial America; it was famously involved in the 1768 Liberty affair in which John Hancock was accused of smuggling the wine on his ship Liberty to avoid import taxes and which led fairly directly to the Boston Massacre. Following the Revolutionary War Congress had ironically passed a series of higher and higher import taxes on items including madeira wine.<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of mercantile history early in the US’s statehood and of the rich and powerful families of Rhode Island.<br /> <br /> 1 James B.

9786555871784RECORD. new. Tudo Ǹ rio Ǹ o livro de estreia de Carla Madeira. Com uma narrativa madura precisa e ao mesmo tempo delicada e poǸtica o romance narra a hist��ria do casal Dalva e Ven�ncio que tem a vida transformada ap��s uma perda trǭgica resultado do ci�me doentio do marido e de Lucy a prostituta mais depravada e cobi��ada da cidade que entra no caminho deles formando um tri�ngulo amoroso.Na orelha do livro Martha Medeiros escreve: ""Tudo Ǹ rio Ǹ uma obra-prima e n�o hǭ exagero no que afirmo. � daqueles livros que ao ser terminado dǭ vontade de come��ar de novo no mesmo instante desta vez para se demorar em cada linha saborear cada frase deixar-se abra��ar pela poesia da prosa. Na primeira leitura essa entrega mais lenta Ǹ quase imposs�vel pois a correnteza dos acontecimentos nos leva atǸ a �ltima pǭgina sem nos dar chance para respirar. � preciso manter-se �� tona ou a gente se afoga.""A metǭfora do rio se revela por meio da narrativa que flui � ora intensa ora mais branda � de forma ininterrupta mas tambǸm por meio do suor da saliva do sangue das lǭgrimas do s�men e Carla faz isso sem ser apelativa sem sentimentalismo barato com a habilidade que s�� os melhores escritores possuem.
