The Practical Mysticism of Clarice Lispector's Uma Aprendizagem ou o Livro dos Prazeres
I n her fiction Clarice Lispector echoes the concerns of Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus and other existentialist writers. Briefly stated, existentialism refers to the notion that life has meaning only as a person participates fully in it by taking complete responsibility for his own existence and creating himself. Man becomes aware of the true meaning of existence only after he experiences nausea and comes to grips with the discovery of his funda…
Parallels between the Theater of Jorge Andrade and the Modern "Cycle" Novel of Brazil
JORGE ANDRADE has been the sensitive historian and understanding judge of a fast-disappearing society. He has lived and felt the subjects of his plays either directly, or by hearsay, study, and meditation; but in general he has written about them most objectively. The first completely successful modern Brazilian playwright, Jorge Andrade has done for Sao Paulo what the novelists and dramatists of the Northeast, and Erico Verissimo in Rio Grande d…

Two Modern Autos by Ariano Suassuna
Neste artigo discutem-se duas peças de Suassuna, revelando este como um dos chefes duma corrente cultural e literária que é ao mesmo tempo que continuação do Modernismo paralela do romance nordestino. Apesar de se ter escrito muito sobre o Auto da Compadecida, a crítica ainda não examinou detalhadamente a técnica, o estilo, nem a humanidade das personagens, criadas principalmente pela estilização cômica que é também base importante da universalid…

Updated Progress Report on the Latin American Translation Project
Since my Progress Report on Latin American Translations (Hispania, XLV [1962], 463-67) at least two more complete reports have appeared, one by Dr. Robert J. Clements, associate editor of New York University Press's Gotham Library (Saturday Review, May 22, 1965, pp. 60-61), who based himself in large part on that of the Director of the University of California Press, Mr. August Frug6 (Scholarly Books in America, April 1964). I shall limit myself …

Dramatic Variations on Themes of el Sombrero de Tres Picos
Recent textbook editions of Garcia Lorca's La zapatera prodigiosa and Nal' Roxlo's Una viuda dificil have caused me to notice certain similarities between these plays.' In both, there is a resemblance in title and genre: La zapatera prodigiosa, farsa violenta en dos actos; Una viuda dificil, farsa en tres actos. It is hoped that the resemblance will become more apparent during this discussion. The probable relationship of La zapatera to Alarc6n's…
Some Fresh Perspectivas on Galdos' Dona Perfecta
The belief held this writer that Dofia Perfecta has too long been relegated many critics to its author's lesser works-largely because of the social thesis it sometimes too obviously embodies to the detriment of characterization-was recently strengthened the reactions of some students. Their spontaneous criticism in favor of the razdn vital, among other features, of Doiia Perfecta has shown that the stale conventionality of certain Galdosian criti…
