Football and favelas, carnival and caipirinhas? Or perhaps, past these cliches, a multifarious literary landscape comes into view?Spanning 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'.   Stories 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. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56999005978997,"sku":"9780241678350","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780241678350.jpg?v=1774536855","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780241678350","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
