Trata-se, neste livro, do conjunto da obra de Adolfo Caminha - um polígrafo na literatura brasileira do século XIX - durante o período de 1885 a 1897. O estudo abrange não somente os seus textos ficcionais, mas também os seus escritos críticos e jornalísticos. Considera-se, portanto, a atuação do escritor como político, editor, leitor e crítico literário. Salienta-se que a escrita de Caminha se caracteriza por dois movimentos: um horizontal, que estende a sua obra, e outro vertical, que produz uma estética do aproveitamento, constituída a partir dos diálogos existentes entre um e outro dos seus fazeres. A obra apresenta uma contribuição original aos estudos sobre a literatura brasileira.

Written at the height of Stalin's first "five-year plan" for the industrialization of Soviet Russia and the parallel campaign to collectivize Soviet agriculture, Andrei Platonov's The Foundation Pit registers a dissonant mixture of utopian longings and despair. Furthermore, it provides essential background to Platonov's parody of the mainstream Soviet "production" novel, which is widely recognized as one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century Russian prose. In addition to an overview of the work's key themes, it discusses their place within Platonov's oeuvre as a whole, his troubled relations with literary officialdom, the work's ideological and political background, and key critical responses since the work's first publication in the West in 1973.

Early Modern Russian Letters: Texts and Contexts brings together twenty essays by Marcus C. Levitt, a leading scholar of eighteenth-century Russian literature. The essays address a spectrum of works and issues that shaped the development of modern Russian literature, from authorship and philosophy to gender and religion in Russian Enlightenment culture. The first part of the collection explores the career and works of Alexander Sumarokov, who played a formative role in literary life of his day. In the essays of the second part Levitt argues that the Enlightenment’s privileging of vision played an especially important role in eighteenth-century Russian self-image, and that its “occularcentrism” was profoundly shaped by Orthodox religious views. Early Modern Russian Letters offers a series of original and provocative explorations of a vital but little studied period.
