➧ TEXT 1:
The hour of the star
Clarice Lispector
Clarice Lispector’s last novel is a short, strange, tour de force
– a masterpiece of a book. In The hour of the star, Lispector
follows the narrator Rodrigo S. M., a pretentious,
cosmopolitan writer describing the act of writing. He is writing
about his creation, Macabéa, one of “life’s unfortunates”, a
woman living in the slums of Rio. She is poor, sickly, and
unloved, and yet she lives simply and happily. “Lispector
employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty
narrator, and working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts
away the reader’s preconceived notions about poverty,
identity, love, and the art of fiction.”

Published in 22/5/2019 - 16:37
By Gilberto Costa – Brasília
Brazilian singer, songwriter, playwright, and writer Chico Buarque, 74, is the recipient of the 31st
Camões Award. The accolade was granted yesterday (May 21st) and took into account the artist’s
whole literary work. Along with it comes a prize of 100 thousand euros.
Regarded as the main decoration in Lusophone literature, the Camões Award was created in 1989
by Brazil and Portugal. Every year, an author is named “whose work contributes to the projection
and recognition of the language,” according to the Ministry of Culture of Portugal.
Buarque debuted as a fiction writer in 1974 with the novel Fazenda modelo. He is the 13th
Brazilian to receive the award, which has been bagged by writers Raduan Nassar (2016), Ferreira
Goulart (2010), Lygia Fagundes Telles (2005), and Jorge Amado (1994), among others.

➧ TEXT 3:
90% of people quit after 3 months of hitting the gym; here’s how to be the exception
One of the main reasons people give up a sport is because it was not a good match for them. If you
hate running, you’re not likely to stick to it for long. Take a look below for three novelty workout
ideas and be part of the 10%.
Pound
Pound is a full-body cardio-based class that
mimics playing the drums. Armed with two sticks,
you “pound” your way through the hour,
slamming your arms to the beat alongside other
choreography. No music actually plays from the
speakers. Instead, the class makes the music.
You’ll jump, you’ll dance, and you’ll play – getting
stronger all the while! As with any exercise,
Pound classes offer exercisers a new option for
relieving stress and keeping a bright outlook. If
you enjoy high-energy, group fitness classes
with rockin’ music, add Pound to your weekly
workout.
Aerial Yoga
This practice looks like a cross between a
Cirque du Soleil show and gymnastics. But it
turns out you don’t need acrobatic moves to
reap the benefits of this type of yoga, also
called antigravity yoga. In an aerial yoga class,
you perform the same poses you do on a yoga
mat, except you use a silk hammock that’s
suspended from the ceiling as a prop to support
you through the various flows. The purpose of
the hammock is to help improve flexibility and
build strength, while allowing you to do more
challenging poses without added pressure on
shoulders, spine, or head.
Plogging
A new Scandinavian trend encourages people to pick up litter while out running. So, it’s not just
good for your health, it’s also good for the environment. It’s called “plogging” – a portmanteau of
jogging and the Swedish plocka upp, meaning ‘pick up’. Plogging combines going for a run with
intermittent squatting (to collect rubbish), which actually sounds like a pretty satisfying workout.
According to Lifesum, a typical user will burn 288 calories in 30 minutes of plogging, which is more
or less the same as what’s burned off while jogging. Ploggers take plastic bags along with them so
they can store the collected litter they find along their route.
