Dear Regina Celly,
Do you know Latin? Certainly you must be aware of the meaning of your name--a most unusual
one. The English translation would be "Queen of Heaven"--Regina Caeli, an honorific of the
mother of Christ. She is a powerful protectrix!
I would add one book to your list: it was published after my father's death by the University of
Toronto Press. It is called Laws of Media: The New Science. I believe it is also translated into
Portuguese. This book is a sort of summary of my father's earlier work as well as a departure
into entirely new territory.
Another very important book of his, which he wrote with the painter, Harley Parker, is called
Through the Vanishing Point: Space in Poetry and Painting. If you can get a look at that one, it
would repay your interest.
There was not time to respond to your letter before your presentation, but I hope that these
few notes will be of some interest to you.
With all best wishes,
Eric McLuhan
TRANSLATION
Querida Regina,
Você sabe latim? Certamente você deve estar ciente do significado de seu nome -
uma das mais incomuns. A tradução Inglês seria;Rainha do Céu; - Regina Caeli, um
título honorífico da mãe de Cristo. Ela é uma protectora poderosa.
Gostaria de acrescentar um livro à sua lista: ela foi publicada após a morte de meu
pai pela University of Toronto Press. É chamado de Leis de Mídia: A Nova Ciência.
Creio que também é traduzida para o Português. Este livro é uma espécie de síntese
dos trabalhos anteriores do meu pai, assim como uma partida em território
totalmente novo.
Outro livro muito importante dele, que ele escreveu com o pintor, Harley Parker, é
chamado através do Ponto de Fuga: Espaço na Poesia e Pintura. Se você puder dar
uma olhada no que uma, seria pagar o seu interesse. Não houve tempo para
responder a sua carta antes de sua apresentação, mas espero que estas poucas
notas será de algum interesse para você.
Com todos os melhores desejos,
Eric McLuhan
