Os paratextos das antologias brasileiras de contos de Edgar Allan Poe no século XXI
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014.Esta tese analisa elementos paratextuais em antologias brasileiras de contos de Edgar Allan Poe lançados ou reeditados nos doze primeiros anos do século XXI, verificando de que forma o autor e sua obra são apresentados ao leitor através desses paratextos. Para tanto, analiso quartas capas, orelhas, prefácios, posfácios e notas. O nível de participação do tradutor na utilização desses elementos é também examinado, para que se possa averiguar até que ponto esse intermediador de culturas teve visibilidade nas publicações. A referida análise é norteada, principalmente, pelos fundamentos teóricos de Gérard Genette, sobretudo em seu livro intitulado Paratextos Editoriais (2009), do original Seuils (1987).Abstract : This thesis analyzes paratextual elements in Edgar Allan Poe's Brazilian anthologies of short stories published or reprinted in the first twelve years of the 21st century, observing how the author and his fictional writings are presented to the reader through those paratexts. Thus, I analyze back pages, flaps, forewords, afterwords, and notes. The use the translator made of those elements is examined in order to assess the translator's visibility in the published editions. The referred analysis is grounded mainly on Gérard Genette's theory, especially in his book entitled Editorial Paratexts (2009) from the original Seuils (1987)

Letter to Mr. Monnig from Edgar L. Bryson, August 8, 1933
No full textLetter to Mr. Monnig from about a fragment found.Deport, Tex [Texas] Aug. 8, 1933. Mr. Oscar E. Monnig, 312 W. Leuda, Ft. Worth, Texas. Dear Mr. Monnig: Am in receipt of your letter concerning the fragment of meteorite I sent you. Sure, I'll tender you my permission to retain it another week, that you might make up your mind about purchasing it. ( y the way, you speak of the mind In a very familiar manner. I am at once reminded of beds. Can the mind be thus easily disposed of? Yours must be annextremely [an extremely] definite philosophy.) Yes, there was a kind of formation between the tines (forks) of the fragment, which I removed. It was grayish in color and had a peculiar odor. I couldn't rightly say where the burnt looking stuff inside the neck came from.---probably caused by atmospheric resistance. Hoping that you will discover the fragment to be something more than a "genuine object", l am very truly yours, Edgar L. Bryson Edgar L. Bryson. P.S. I like “Star Breeze.” Is it an original composition? It incorporates a beautiful thought. Do you like epigrams? Here then: Wise men are fools, who by strange fate are torn to occupy the stools of ridicule an scorn. E. L. B

No full textLetter from Edgar L. Bryson to Mr. Monnig selling a meteorite pending approval of the sample.“Only one man understands me, and even he does not.” - Hegel. Deport, Texas, July 25, 1933. Mr. Oscar E. Monnig, 312 W. Leuda, Ft. Worth, Texas. Dear sir: I received your letter this morning concerning the fragment of meteorite which I possess am sending it along. (Yes, I heard of your purchasing one from Mr. Williamson) I find your price ($3) propitious and hope the interior structure is to your liking. I would, however, take less if it isn’t what I represented it to be - I said approximately eight ounces! Should the analysis prove it to be worthless I see no reason for returning it to me. I should, however, desire a few moments privacy with the editor of “The Deport Times,” Who pronounced it meteorite. Yes! Here’s hoping, et cetera. So long, Edgar L. Bryson R.F.D. 2, Deport, Texas Glad you liked the quotation - you might look me up in “Kaleidograph,” or other poetry mags - The March number of “Kaleidograph.

No full textLetter from Edgar L. Bryson to Mr. Monnig inquiring about a response.Deport, Tex. Aug. 27, 1933. Mr. Oscar E. Monnig. My dear sir, Sometime ago I received a letter and questionaire [questionnaire] from you concerning a fragment of meteorite I had previously sent you. The letter was answered and the questionaire [questionnaire] accurately filled out according to instructions. Both were returned to you in the enclosed envelope.

Do not get the idea that I doubt your integrity. I do not. How do I know that you have not written? It would not be the first time mall has been lost. If, however, you have not written me I would appreciate your doing go at your earliest convenience. Assuring you of my continued friendliness, I am Very truly yours, Edgar L. Bryson, Route 2, Deport, Texas. P.S. In the event you have written me while this letter is enroute, please wait for an answer. E.L.

Dear Mr. Monnig: I am sorry to learn that the so-called fragment of meteorite was too stubborn to yeild even a nickel element to your chemical test. Just why it persists In showing stubbornness in preference to the much desired nickel is completely beyond my powers of comprehension. Of the two, I would accept your judgement to that of the editor, but I am glad you went It to an expert. Yes, sir, pure glad! We will move to dad's old home place next year, and I have hopes of finding many interesting specimens of rock, etc. However, I shall certainly examine them for symptoms of stubbornness before submitting them to you. The idea of a meteorite (?) manifesting this most undesirable and peculiarly human idiosyncrasy is intolerable. Yes, Quite! Assuring you that curiousness in regards to this specimen is mutual, I am Sincerely, [Route 2] Edgar L. Bryson P.S. I do not know what team of that grayscale matters which was originally between the prongs
