W. B, Yeats : poemas    
Call #: PORT 822.91 YEA Yeats, W. B. (William Butler), 1865-1939.
Published 2001

Bibliografia. Sobre William Butler Yeats, Oscar Wilde escreveu em 1889: "às vezes deparamos com um volume que está tão acima da média que é impossível resistir à tentação de predizer um belo futuro para seu autor". O faro crítico de Wilde estava, como sempre, apuradíssimo, e, até sua morte, em 1939, a poesia de Yeats só fez crescer. Em 1923 recebeu o prêmio Nobel de literatura e é comumente considerado o gigante da poesia de língua inglesa deste século. Caracterizado por uma dicção que foi se tornando cada vez mais enxuta, reduzida ao essencial, livre de enfeites, ele se apresenta em toda a sua força nesta antologia, organizada, prefaciada, traduzida e anotada por Paulo Vizioli.

Call #: 401 CHO Chomsky, Noam.

"Noam Chomsky is one of the most influential thinkers of our time, yet his views are often misunderstood. In this previously unpublished series of interviews, Chomsky discusses his iconoclastic and important ideas concerning language, human nature and politics. In dialogue with James McGilvray, Professor of Philosophy at McGill University, Chomsky takes up a wide variety of topics - the nature of language, the philosophies of language and mind, morality and universality, science and common sense, and the evolution of language. McGilvray's extensive commentary helps make this incisive set of interviews accessible to a variety of readers. The volume is essential reading for those involved in the study of language and mind, as well as anyone with an interest in Chomsky's ideas"--.
