We often think that the best information from the Roman world comes from Egypt, where the dryness preserves papyri. However, in Britain the reverse conditions occur. At Vindolanda – a Roman fort located two miles behind Hadrian’s Wall – the humidity preserved wooden writing tablets that were thrown into a bonfire when the fort was evacuated in CE 105.

These wooden tablets were one of the most important discoveries made in Roman Britain in the 20th century.

They were used not for grand writings but for memoranda and accounts, so they provide the best insight into life in the Roman army found anywhere in the world. One of the tablets says:

Octavius to Candidus: “I need money. I have bought 5,000 bushels of grain, and unless you send me some money, I shall lose my deposit and be embarrassed”.

Os documentos descobertos em Vindolanda

Harry Potter is the best selling book series of all time. But it’s had its reproaches. Various Christian groups claimed the books promoted paganism and witchcraft to children. Washington Post book critic Ron Charles called the fact that adults were also hooked on Potter a "bad case of cultural infantilism.” Charles and others also cited a certain artistic banality in massively commercial story-telling, while others criticized Hogwarts, the wizardry academy attended by Potter, for only rewarding innate talents.

The Anglo-American writer Christopher Hitchens, on the other hand, praised J. K. Rowling for freeing English children’s literature from dreams of riches and class and snobbery and giving us a world of youthful democracy and diversity. A growing body of evidence suggests that reading Rowling’s work, at least as a youth, might be a good thing.

A leitura do excerto permite concluir adequadamente que:

“O Sinhô foi açoitar

sozinho a negra Fulô.

A negra tirou a saia

e tirou o cabeção,

de dentro dêle pulou

nuinha a negra Fulô.

Essa negra Fulô!

Essa negra Fulô!

Ó Fulô! Ó Fulô!

Cadê, cadê teu Sinhô

que Nosso Senhor me mandou?

Ah! Foi você que roubou,

foi você, negra Fulô?

Essa negra Fulô!”

(Jorge de Lima, Poesias Completas, v.1. Rio de Janeiro/Brasília: J.Aguilar e INL,

1974, p. 121.)

“A Sinhá mandou arrebentar-lhe os dentes:

Fute, Cafute, Pé-de-pato, Não-sei-que-diga,

avança na branca e me vinga.

Exu escangalha ela, amofina ela,

amuxila ela que eu não tenho defesa de homem,

sou só uma mulher perdida neste mundão.

Neste mundão.

Louvado seja Oxalá.

Para sempre seja louvado.”

(Idem, p.164.)
