Immaterial transcendences

by Constance G. Janiga-Perkins (2001)

About this book

"Brazil's Letter of discovery, Carta a El Rei D. Manuel (1500) by Pero Vaz de Caminha, continues to merit critical analysis. This book considers the Carta as a journey beyond the boundaries of conventional consciousness into a jungle or outback. Immaterial Transcendences details how the writing in the Carta carries on the process of colonial subjectivity by examining the function of stutters in the discourse. Lifting the masks of whiteness and Amerindianness (Otherness) in the text, it traces the agony of presence and active resistance of the Other as process (Othering), giving critical consideration of the Carta a completely new focus."--BOOK JACKET.

Erich Segal

Oliver Barrett IV, a wealthy jock from a stuffy WASP family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career in law . . . Jenny Cavilleri, a sharp-tongued, working-class beauty studying music at Radcliffe . . . Opposites in nearly every way, Oliver and Jenny are kindred spirits from vastly different worlds. Falling deeply and powerfully, their attraction to one another defies everything they have ever believed—as they share a passion far greater than anything they dreamed possible . . . and explore the wonder of a love that must end too soon. One of the most adored novels of our time, this is the book that defined a generation—a story of uncompromising devotion, of life as it really is . . . and love that changes everything.
