    The sadness of others one should leave alone. It is a small garden, a fragile delicate Arcadia, one should not disturb it. –  I Am the Brother of XX

    Hi, folks! Karen @kaggsy59 and Simon @simondavidthomas are hosting the #1936Club this week, and, as always, I am jumping in! The event is one of their regular six-monthly reading Clubs, where they encourage everyone to read and discuss books from a particular year. This time, we are reading books from 1936. I am currently reading The Beauties and Furies, by Australian author Christina Stead, and I will be writing more about it later this week. I’d also like to recommend three books I’ve read & loved from 1936 (I wrote about them on my blog a long time ago): 1) Deborah, by Esther Kreitman (1946, tr. Maurice Carr. Original: Der Shaidim Tantz, 1936); 2) Nightwood by Djuna Barnes (1936); and 3) Novel on Yellow Paper, by Stevie Smith (1936). Are you taking part in the #1936Club? What are you reading this week? 🌱 Oi, gente! Essa semana acontece o Clube 1936, evento criado por Karen e Simon para incentivar a leitura de livros publicados em um ano determinado. O evento acontece semestralmente, e a cada vez é escolhido um ano diferente. Dessa vez é 1936. Minha leitura para o evento é esse romance da autora australiana Christina Stead, e recomendo três outros romances sobre os quais já falei no blog há muito tempo (passe a foto para ver as capas). Vocês curtem esse tipo de evento?
    Whenever I find a book by a new-to-me forgotten woman writer at my local little free library, I pick it up. I hadn't heard of Marianne Langewiesche, a German author born in Bavaria in 1908, until I found this 1952 copy of Der Ölzweig ("The Olive Branch"), a retelling of Noah's story that takes place in the late 1940's. This brief summary may not sound very appealing nowadays, but there is an interesting existential undercurrent & even some environmental topics going through the book. So far so good. 🌿 Sempre que encontro na little free library um livro de autora esquecida, decido pegar para conhecer. Nunca havia ouvido falar de Marianne Langewiesche, autora alemã nascida na Baviera em 1908, até me deparar com esse exemplar de 1952 de O Ramo de Oliveira. O romance é uma releitura da história de Noé, transposta para o final dos anos 40. Esse resumo pode não parecer interessante para os leitores contemporâneos, mas o livro tem uma atmosfera existencialista e até toca em temas ambientalistas. Continuarei a ler.
    This is just a quick note to say that Natalie @curiousreaderr and Emma from the #Booktube channel A Cup of Books have just posted their announcement videos for the 2021 #Springathon, which will happen from May 1 to 14. Some of you may remember that I took part in this reading project last year here on IG. The idea is to read at least one nature writing book, and this year we will be joined by the wonderful @booknaturalists! We will also be announcing the Instagram challenge soon. For now, check Natalie and Emma's channels for more information! 🌿 Oi, gente! Em maio, ocorrerá a Maratona de Primavera, cujo objetivo é ler ao menos um livro de não ficção cujo tema tenha a ver com a natureza (como dizer "nature writing" em português?). Se quiserem saber mais sobre o projeto, assistam aos vídeos introdutórios da Natalie (A Curious Reader) e da Emma (A Cup of Books) no YouTube, e sigam o grupo The Book Naturalists aqui no Instagram. Talvez alguns de vocês se recordem que participei do evento no ano passado. Também faremos um desafio aqui no Instagram. Espero que curtam!
