“O gênio que escrevia com números” em lançamento

by Literatura

“O gênio que escrevia com números” é o primeiro livro de ficção de Luiz Ernesto Wanke e o quinto a ser lançado por este professor e escritor  que estará no  dia 31 de março, a partir das 18h30, na Livraria da Vila, em Curitiba, para noite de autógrafos.  Autor de quatro livros sobre história, Brasil Chinês, O Grito do Ipiranga-Segundo Pedro Américo, Piás de Hitler, Malvinas: O dia que vimos a guerra começar, Luiz Ernesto segue a tradição da família – irmão de Eno Theodoro Wanke (1929-2001), poeta e escritor paranaense.

Um pouco da sensação do autor sobre o porquê de se  embrenhar pelos caminhos da ficção pode ser vivenciada no artigo Gênese de uma História, publicado no PanHoramarte. Diferente da pesquisa histórica do livro Brasil Chinês, que defende a origem oriental de nossos índios e de fatos analisados em “O Grito do Ipiranga – segundo Pedro Américo”, que  é  um livro  rápido de ler, curioso  e dirigido aos  interessados em saber mais sobre o que pensava o pintor  brasileiro no momento em que pintou a mais conhecida  cena  sobre a independência do Brasil, na ficção, Luiz Ernesto discorre sua prosa em lembranças reinventadas pelas histórias da infância vivida em liberdade no bairro Olarias, de Ponta-Grossa, interior do Paraná.

Luiz Ernesto Wanke recebeu o sinal de  sua bisavó, e assim como outros descendentes levaram adiante o Legado de Marie. Pelas palavras, o autor faz com que o gosto pela leitura tão expresso na história ancestral permaneça no tempo de geração a geração. Já disse um dia Lygia Fagundes Telles: “A palavra é a ponte que o escritor lança para o seu próximo. Eu estendo a ponte e digo: venha”,  Tributo a Marie. O autor atravessou a ponte e construiu sua própria e agora diz: venham!

The simple reminder that many illustrious characters such as Tsar Peter, the Great, Frederick I, from Prussia, Louis Pasteur, JW Goethe, Beethoven, Wagner, Strauss, were in Karlovy Vary and proved the healing power of its thermal waters, already justifies the ride to this place situated about 100 kilometers west of Prague. The fame of “Hot Waters of Charles” is the meaning of Karlovy Vary, which alludes to the temperature of the Tepla river and the king of Bohemia Charles IV, who founded the city in 1358, circulates in the world especially in Europe.

A little city

The city has a little over 55 000 inhabitants, is quiet and cozy ingrown in a mountain, with a peculiar architecture. The spas and 12 sources scattered throughout the small center are the major attraction of the place. The waters reach an average temperature of 40°C and maximum of 72°C. Are indicated for the digestive system or metabolic disorders, although each source have a different characteristic and is indicated for a specific treatment.

The water has a pronounced flavor that is similar to rust and is a bit salty. In the largest and most famous geyser in the city, called Vridlo, water gushes from a depth of over three thousand meters and reaches a height of almost 15 meters, with a temperature of more than 70°C. Next to the sources there is always a variety of little stores to shopping souvenirs, which includes a cup to drink hot spring water, a kind of mug with a ceramic straw.

There is also a drink made based on herbs known as the “13th healing source.

” The liquor produced in the region since 1807 is called Becherovka and was created by the chemist Josef Becher. Its exact composition is not revealed, but the whole production can be seen in the Jan Becher Museum, which explains the origins of the drink. Between a ride and another by the Main Street may be seen the house where lived and developed researches the French scientist Louis Pasteur, responsible for many discoveries in the field of chemistry and medicine.

A summer in the capital of the Czech Republic

by with No Comment Travelling

The sober and closed style of people who lives in Prague, capital of Czech Republic, compensates at the time the tourist starts feeling the soul of the city in the summer. Prague blooms like a flower and celebrates the sun with music everywhere. It is a metropolis, not for industrial potential, but for the diversity of culture and peoples who settled in or are passing through.

The schedule of concerts of classical music and opera is complete for more than two months in imposing churches, baroque in the biggest part, and in theaters – some with architecture and decoration of “Belle Epoque“.

Virtuosity is a constant in the presentations. Are musicians from Symphony Orchestras and singers with the best artistic quality. Talents apart are also found by the streets performing popularly for rushed walkers. Prague is a small Paris, even better, with the warmth of a small town.

Charles Bridge VI

Pass through Charles Bridge VI, with its 30 baroque sculptures (sacred) is an interesting experience, specially for the simple reason the viewer questions the reason for the works being blackened by the time and some with cobwebs. Carelessness or lack of money for restoration, was not possible to discover. he answer surely is embedded in its historical trajectory.

Prague is located in eastern European and was part of the countries of “iron curtain” (1948-1989) and according to reports of the inhabitants, many buildings and works that resembled the bourgeoisie and the pageantry were abandoned and almost to ruin.

However, this blackened aspect of its architecture and some works that asks for cleaning gives a kaftanian tone to Prague, maybe by purpose. Perhaps, showing the dark landscape of the bridge that gives access to the squares, in one side Mala Strana and in another the Josefov, Jewish square, the tourist will be able to imagine the existential torture of Franz Kafka, Czech writer, when circulated by streets of his hometown in a harsh winter.

Kafka

Kafka lived tormented by fears and existential crises that were provoked by the neurotic relationship between domineering father and sensitive son and by a life limited within a bureaucratic service, situations that resulted in one of his best known works, “Metamorphosis”, which describes the feeling of turning into a cockroach.

Feel Prague with this look is to transport yourself to Kafta’s world. For those who admires the writer, worths the visit to the Museum which maintains his documents and history.

But the current Prague also offers the visitor the possibility to focus a more cheerful and worldly look. For this is enough to enjoy the diversity of musical events and all the touristic attractions that makes the history of the city.Astronomical Tower (Orloj) a building with a huge clock that was built in 1410. Is the third astronomical clock in the world and the only that still works. More tips about the various can be found on the internet in websites. More photos from Prague in mariweigert.blogspot.com

Abu Dhabi Louvre

Abu Dhabi Louvre is a museum that is currently under construction in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates capital. Initially the opening was scheduled for 2012-2013, but delays have led to predict a new date, 2015. It will be one of the components of a gigantic cultural district which is being built on the island of Saadiyat, along with three other museums and a center of entertainment.

On March 7, 2007, the Louvre Museum in Paris, announced that would associate its name to this new museum as part of a 30-year agreement between the city of Abu Dhabi and the French government. The museum, designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel, will have a total area of 24,000 square meters and the construction costs are estimated between 832 and 108 million euros.

Artwork from around the world will be showcased at the museum, with particular focus placed upon bridging the gap between Eastern and Western art. However, the construction of the museum has caused much controversy in the art world, as many objections have been raised as to the motives of the Louvre in this deal. (Text from Wikipedia).
