A CUP OF RAGE (UM COPO DE COLERA)
Book ID/图书代码： 11701216B87220
English Summary/英文概要： A CUP OF RAGE (UM COPO DE COLERA) was published in 1978 and revised by the author in 1984. At first glance it looks like a love story. The narrator is a man, presenting himself as the master, and the other main character is his mistress. One morning, a verbal fight breaks out, in which one tries to hurt the other as much as possible. It is a game of power and helplessness, a merciless reckoning with the characters’ wishes and dreams, aspirations and illusions.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《一杯愤怒》于1978年出版，1984年由作者进行修改。小说乍看之下是一个爱情故事。叙述者是一个男人，自称为主人，另外一个主角是他的情妇。一天早晨，两人开始吵架，其中一人竭尽全力伤害另一个人。这是一场权力和无助的对决，对人物的愿望和梦想，渴望和幻想的无情清算。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：“Raduan Nassar的《一杯愤怒》评论——从欲望到愤怒到咆哮的绝望——如果这个国家成熟到设立一个文学方面的‘GOOD SEX’奖，这部由巴西现代主义者创作的极具爆发性的情色小说绝对是该奖项的有力竞争者”

About the Author/作者介绍： Raduan Nassar，1935年出生于巴西圣保罗的Pindorama，父母是黎巴嫩人。他主要在农村小镇长大，后前往圣保罗大学学习法律。作者的生活与农业和写作密不可分。《古代耕作》和《一杯愤怒》是他最重要的两部文学作品。1985年开始致力于农业和畜牧业生产。2011年退休后住在小农场里，并将所有的商业地产都捐献出来用于建造新的大学校园。Raduan Nassar, the son of Lebanese parents, was born in 1935, in Pindorama, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. He was raised mainly in small rural towns, then went on to study Law at the University of São Paulo. Like his Lebanese immigrant family, the author’s life has been bound in agriculture and writing. Ancient Tillage (1975) and A Cup of Rage (1978), a novella, are his two major literary works. He also worked as a journalist and editor for the newspaper Jornal do Bairro, jointly founded with his brothers. Although an acclaimed literary author, since 1985 Raduan Nassar has led a private existence dedicated to farming and livestock production. He retired to a smaller farm in 2011, having donated his entire commercial property to the agricultural departments of the Federal University of São Carlos for the creation of a new campus.
