Encontro no Rio – Cobertura Jornal O Globo

Pessoal,
está tudo certo para o encontro hoje no Rio! Celebrando 235 de nascimento de Austen em grande estilo!
A Ana Maria (co-fundadora da JASBRA) que atualmente está morando no Rio, é a responsável pela organização. O Encontro começará às 17:30 na Confeitaria Colombo do Centro: Rua Gonçalves Dias, 32.
Além disso, o jornalista André Miranda do Segundo Caderno do Jornal O Globo fará a cobertura do evento, pois fui convidada para uma entrevista sobre a JASBRA e para falar sobre a influência de Jane Austen na atualidade. Sem dúvida, será um encontro inesquecível, já que a Confeitaria Colombo do Centro é um lugar maravilhoso, onde ecoam ainda toda a vivacidade dos nossos escritores queridos, como Machado de Assis, que iam a confeitaria para discutir literatura (séc. XIX).
Quero agradecer ao André Miranda pela oportunidade!  Bom encontro para todos! É uma pena que desta vez não poderei ir ao Rio…

Encontro JASBRA no Recife – fotos

Pessoal, o Encontro JASBRA em Comemoração aos 235 anos de nascimento de Jane Austen em Recife foi um sucesso! As meninas já me enviaram as fotos e apresento abaixo algumas. Parabéns Janeites!

Jane Austen was born in december, 16th, at night in Steventon house, Hampshire. There’s no necessity of a doctor, since it was really rare at that time to call a doctor e besides the local doctor is far 7 miles. Jane’s parents were really happy because a second girl was born, and she will be a present and company for Cassandra. Baby Jane was soon baptized by her father, as he did with all the children in the family. When the weather gets better she will be baptized in the church (it’s winter). Jane’s mother didn’t leave the bedroom for about two weeks. When Jane’s brothers and sister were allowed to enter in her mother’s bedroom, Jane was wealthy little girl, rounded face with fat chicks and black eyes! Everybody agreed she looked like her brother Henry.

The Parish Register for Steventon records Jane’s baptism on the day following her birth. The Register is in the Hampshire Record Office in Winchester, ref 71M82/PR2. Take a look here.

***

Jane Austen nasceu no dia 16 de dezembro, no comecinho da noite, na casa da paróquia de Steventon, Hampshire. Não houve necessidade de um médico, já que era raro chamar um naquela época e também porque o médico mais próximo estava a 7 milhas de distância. Os pais de Jane ficaram muito felizes por terem uma segunda filha, o que seria um presente para Cassandra (a única irmã de Austen) e seria sua companhia. A bebê Jane foi logo batizada por seu pai, como todas as crianças da família. Fariam a cerimônia na igreja mais tarde, quando tempo estivesse melhor. A mãe de Austen não deveria colocar os pés fora da cama por cerca de duas semanas. Quando as crianças finalmente foram autorizadas a entrarem no quarto onde Jane se encontrava, viram que o bebê tinha um rostinho redondo, bochechinhas gordas e negros olhos! Todos concordaram que ela se parecia com Henry, um dos irmãos.
