Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In her bestselling book Losses and Gains, Lya Luft draws on her own experiences of loss and gain in marriage and family to address the universal themes of childhood, love and maturity. She portrays love as the common thread through all phases of life. As children, the unconditional love we receiv…e from our parents determines our expectations for all the other forms of love we experience later. And as adults, she argues, the complex task of loving another depends, initially, on self-love and self-esteem. Luft's ardent reflections on existence and the human spirit are a powerful reminder to us all: we have lost everything only when we believe we deserve less than everything still to be gained. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First 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 Boc…klin, 'The Island of the Dead', oil on canvas, 1880. Gottfried- Keller-Stiftung, Kunstmuseum, Basel. keywords: Latin America Brazil Literature Translated Women. DESCRIPTION - 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.
