A friend has recommended that I read a book entitled “A Moreninha” by Joaquim Manuel de Macedo. I would like to buy a copy of the book rather than borrow hers since I tend to underline difficult words (and they usually are plentiful).
The problem – Where can I buy books by Brazilian authors on the Internet? I have checked all of the usual suspects and came up empty handed.
Maybe I’m just not Googling right, but I get lots of stuff about such books and plenty of pages offering dictionaries and language courses, but not much else.
That’s the one I have been looking for all along.
I just ordered three books:
Dom Casmurro, and Memórias Postumas de Bras Cubas by Machado de Assis, and the aforementioned A Moreninha.
I don’t have to patiently await a Rio trip to buy my books anymore
Thanks, folks!
And Olentzero – a while back, Musicat asked me the following in the middle of a heavy discussion about movie projection:
My mind was so far away from the origin of my username that I had absolutely no clue what he was talking about. Of course, he had found the single unique half-diminished chord that has no sharps or flats to give it away.
