  Vita Nova

  Winner of the Nobel Prize in LiteratureIn Vita Nova, Pulitzer-Prize winning poet Louise Glck manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that shape and thwart itSince Araratin 1990, Louise Gluck has been exploring a form that is, according to the poet, Robert Hass, her invention.Vita Nova--like its immediate predecessors, a booklength sequence--combines the ecstatic utterance ofThe Wild Iriswith the worldly dramas elaborated inMeadowlands. Vita Novais a book that exists in the long moment of spring: a book of deaths and beginnings, resignation and hope; brutal, luminous, and far-seeing.Like late Yeats,Vita Novadares large statement. By turns stern interlocutor and ardent novitiate, Gluck compasses the essential human paradox.InVita Nova,Louise Gluck manages the apparently impossible: a terrifying act of perspective that brings into resolution the smallest human hope and the vast forces that thwart and shape it.

  A Black Forest Walden (eBook, ePUB)

  A Black Forest Walden is a work of philosophical reflection, nature description, and sly humor. In brief chapters, or aphorisms, the American philosopher David Farrell Krell recounts his experiences in a cabin located in the mountains of southern Germany's Black Forest, where he has lived for several decades. Insofar as Krell compares his experiences with those of Henry David Thoreau, who serves as both inspiration and irritation, the book could be described as a critical commentary on Thoreau's Walden. Yet it equally reads as a rigorous yet playful and profoundly literary manifestation of where and how the mind wanders. Hence, the "Marlonbrando" of the subtitle is not the late actor but a feral cat who frequents the cabin and comes to be an important interlocutor, as if playing the role of analyst to the author. The subjects Krell treats are wide-ranging: the changing seasons, environmental issues, romantic love, parent-child relations, European versus American "values," higher education, artistic creativity, solitude, and the contrast between lifestyles in a quiet Black Forest village and in a noisy contemporary United States. Forty-one black-and-white photographs taken by the author accompany and enliven the text.

  Andrew's Brain: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 232min

  This brilliant new novel by an American master, the author of Ragtime, The Book of Daniel, Billy Bathgate, and The March, takes us on a radical trip into the mind of a man who, more than once in his life, has been the inadvertent agent of disaster. Speaking from an unknown place and to an unknown interlocutor, Andrew is thinking, Andrew is talking, Andrew is telling the story of his life, his loves, and the tragedies that have led him to this place and point in time. And as he confesses, peeling back the layers of his strange story, we are led to question what we know about truth and memory, brain and mind, personality and fate, about one another and ourselves. Written with psychological depth and great lyrical precision, this suspenseful and groundbreaking novel delivers a voice for our times - funny, probing, skeptical, mischievous, profound. Andrew’s Brain is a surprising turn and a singular achievement in the canon of a writer whose prose has the power to create its own landscape, and whose great topic, in the words of Don DeLillo, is "the reach of American possibility, in which plain lives take on the cadences of history." ungekürzt.

  Just a Couple of Days (eBook, ePUB)

  Winner of the Independent Publisher Book Award for Best Visionary Fiction: "A lyrical, thoughtful, viral meme of a book" (Christopher Moore, author of Noir). It all starts when a mischievous artist kicks off a game of graffiti tag by painting the phrase, "Uh-oh" on an overpass. Next, an anonymous interlocutor writes back: "When?" Then someone slyly answers: "Just a couple of days." But exactly what will happen in just a couple of days? Readers don't have long to wait before Professor Blip Korterly is arrested and his molecular biologist friend Dr. Flake Fountain is drafted into a shadow-government research project to develop the ultimate weapon: a biological agent that will render its targets unable to understand symbols, thus disrupting humanity's ability to communicate. Soon, an accidental outbreak turns into a merry-hearted, babble-inducing apocalypse that will either destroy humankind or take it to the next step in evolution. Praised by Tom Robbins who said it "may be the most unusual, the most original novel I have ever read," Tony Vigorito's debut novel is an underground hit that ponders what might happen at the end of time. "Vigorito's . . . irreverent, whimsical style . . . has attracted a cult following... The final apocalyptic vision is a twist not seen since Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. Recommended." -Library Journal

  Storytelling (eBook, ePUB)

  As propagandas têm se adaptado para atingir os consumidores, recorrendo a diferentes estratégias para criar e fortalecer uma imagem positiva. Nesse sentido, a formação de um ethos institucional favorável é um dos caminhos encontrados pelas empresas para atrair seus clientes, apoiando-se em narrativas que criam uma identificação dos clientes com a marca apresentada. Neste trabalho, o objetivo é o de analisar propagandas que utilizam o recurso do Storytelling para a possível criação de um vínculo emocional, construindo uma identidade institucional valorizada e mais persuasiva. Em virtude disso, estabelecemos como corpus propagandas institucionais da Caixa Econômica Federal, que se utilizam do recurso de Storytelling, veiculadas no ano de 2011, em prol da comemoração dos 150 anos de existência do banco. Para atingir tal objetivo, propomos descrever as cenografias das histórias, destacando seus elementos multimodais constituintes para levantar os procedimentos enunciativos utilizados na construção do ethos institucional e considerar como constroem os possíveis sentidos desejados pela instituição anunciante. As histórias conseguem desenvolver um sentimento de afinidade e de pertencimento a um determinado grupo, nesse caso, o grupo de consumidores de uma marca, promovendo o engajamento entre empresa e consumidor, gerando a fidelização de seus clientes, sem que o interlocutor, muitas vezes, perceba que se trata de propaganda institucional inserida no contexto de uma história.
