Connections

I am looking for a book to read. It is a very special book. I imagine it
as a face with no lines. I don't know its title nor its author. Who knows,
sometimes I think I am looking for a book that I would write myself. I don't know.
But I fantasise so much about this unknown book, already so intensely loved.
Here is one of the fantasys: I would be reading it and suddenly, after finishing a phrase,
with tears in my eyes I would say in ecstasy of pain and long awaited liberation:
"But I didn't know that we can do everything, my God !"
Clarice Lispector (1920-1977) in A Descoberta do Mundo.

One can find links to useful websites, such as preprint servers, news networks and job hunting agencies with just a little routine googling ! I keep gathering the links below, however, purely for pleasure and self-indulgence, which probably means they are not the first thing that would appear in your search engine. You might still be positively surprised by them...

Fine pens, finer letters

Fernando Pessoa, the best website in english dedicated to this unique Portuguese poet.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, impressively resourceful site about the master of Russian suffering.
Clarice Lispector, the deepest (and most mysterious) Brazialian writer ever, in a beautiful website too.
Jorge Luis Borges, delightful site about the Argentinian giant.
Carlos Drummond de Andrade, that stone in the middle of the way is still there, you know.
Robert Frost, because we all have miles to go before sleep...
