Book Description hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. Athens. 1986. University Of Georgia Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0820308366. Translated from the Portuguese by Carmen Chaves McClendon & Betty Jean Craige. 106 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration: Arnold Bocklin, 'The Island of the Dead', oil on canvas, 1880. Gottfried- Keller-Stiftung, Kunstmuseum, Basel. . keywords: Literature Translated Brazil Latin America Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The body of the dead boy lies in a coffin at the center of the living room. The air in the room is heavy with the reek of death, candles, flowers, and suffering bodies. The mother, a former concert pianist, absently caresses an imaginary keyboards shrinks from the embraces of the mourners. The father paces the room angrily. Upstairs the dead boy's twin sister lies naked, grieving, folded upon herself like a penknife or an oyster. And in the closed room at the end of the upstairs hallway lies Ella, once a beautiful girl but for many years a shapeless mound of tormented flesh, half alive and half dead. The first work by the Brazilian novelist, poet, and critic Lya Luft to be translated into English, THE ISLAND OF THE DEAD is the story of a household cloistered from the outside world, of a family racked by longing for love and fear of their own perverse passions, by a desire for death, for the afterlife, and terror at the thought of bodily decay. As they contemplate the beautiful corpse in the living room and the repulsive accretion of flesh in the closed room upstairs, the members of the family consider their own pasts and dreams, and their ultimate fates. inventory #7996.
