Hello,
A prestigious Brazilian newspaper, Folha de S.Paulo, is announcing a new collection of books that can be bought every week after the reader acquires their Sunday issue and pays an additional R$11.50 ( it is less than five dollars ).
The first item of this collection is going to be Nabokov´s Lolita and this item shall be distributed free on June 8 to whoever buys the newspaper.
I don´t know if this is going to interest you, but after Nabokov one finds Umberto Eco´s the Name of the Rose; Marguerite Duras, " L´Amant"; José Saramago " The Story of the Siege of Lisbon", E.Scott Fitzgerald´s The Great Gatsby, Joseph Conrad´s "Line of Shadow" ( I´m translating the titles freely and I don´t know how some of them are in the original...) R. Fonseca The Morel Case, Henry Miller: Tropic of Cancer, V.Woolf, Gabriel G. Marquez,Hemmingway, Italo Svevo, Graciliano Ramos, George Orwell, M;Vargas Llosa, Herman Hesse, Franz Kafka, etc. ( perhaps you may be able to read the names in the advertisement that I shall be including after having it scanned. I´ll email it presently )
Best wishes, Jansy
