Comunidade de Leitores – Um Retorno aos Clássicos?

What is a “classic”? How do you choose it, classify it, analyse it? What makes a literary work part of a “canon”? According to Ítalo Calvino, a work earns this category if what it has to say never ends, if it is not just read, but “re-read”. A classic is normally defined as a book that withstands the test of time (never less than 10 years), discusses universal (and not culture-specific) themes and has a lasting influence on other writers. The books chosen for this cycle all fall into these categories, consisting of works by Agustina, Machado de Assis, Shakespeare, Goethe, Woolf and Plato.

Symposium. Vaso grego c. 420 a.C. (pormenor).
