This collection confirms the international significance of Schwarz's critical achievement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStudies of Kafka and Brecht respectively open and close the volume, which includes incisive studies of contemporary poetry and fiction in Brazil. The centerpiece is the hitherto untranslated \u003ci\u003eTwo Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, which brings together two strongly contrasting narratives of girls' lives--one a classic novel, the other an adolescent's diary--to substantiate the crucial concept of objective form. With key reflections on theory and method and an illuminating account of the general historical importance of his exemplary Brazilian novelist, Machado de Assis, \u003ci\u003eTwo Girls\u003c\/i\u003e compellingly demonstrates the logic and significance of Schwarz's work for an English-language readership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roberto Schwarz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.9lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844679652","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43398044287113,"sku":"9781844679652","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_abeee593-c0c5-487f-8316-edb1dc3e49a9.jpg?v=1740474090","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/two-girls-and-other-essays-9781844679652","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
