A new republic was shedding old moralities. Agrarianism was urbanizing. Social mobility was cutting across classes. A nation in search of a new culture was reaching out to the sophistication of Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this setting, M疵io de Andrade tells the story of a Brazilian teen and a young German woman. He was born into a wealthy family; she was trying to make a living away from her country, carrying the emotional baggage of the Great War in the Old World. He was a student, she a teacher. But her lessons would soon go beyond language, literature, and music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe'd also learn a little something herself. Brazilian culture, in those heady boisterous years, was complicated. Love was taking on new meaning. Could love be a transitive verb, uniting subject and object? Or would it best be left intransitive, a subject all alone with an emotion?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eM疵io de Andrade's unique use of language and his insights into life contributed to an upheaval in not only in Brazilian culture but in Brazilian literature, inspiring the nation's Modernist movement. This bilingual edition presents the original Portuguese alongside Ana Lessa-Schmidt's careful and creative English interpretation of Andrade's Modernist style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M疵io de Andrade, Viviane Carvalho Da Annuncia鈬o\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194707427X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947074279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New London Librarium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.06d","brand":"M疵io de Andrade","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983965192447,"sku":"9781947074279","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a9026d8-fb82-47bc-b2df-7064f3ad2ecc.jpg?v=1683269744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-love-intransitive-verb-m-rio-de-andrade-9781947074279","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
