You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.195.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 09:46, 11 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Moacyr Jaime Scliar''' (March 23, 1937((spaced ndash))February 27, 2011) was a Brazilian writer and physician. Most of his writing centers on issues of [[Jewish identity]] in the [[Jewish Diaspora|Diaspora]] and particularly on being Jewish in Brazil.

Scliar is best known outside Brazil for his 1981 novel ''[[Max and the Cats]]'' (''Max e os Felinos''), the story of a young German<ref name="Jewish Renaissance">((cite journal | title=Moacyr Scliar | author=Levin, Janet | journal=[[Jewish Renaissance]] |date=October 2012 | volume=12 | issue=1 | pages=19))</ref> man who flees [[Berlin]] after he comes to the attention of the [[Nazis]] for having had an [[affair]] with a married woman. En route to Brazil, his ship sinks, and he finds himself alone in a [[dinghy]] with a [[jaguar]] who had been travelling in the [[Hold (ship)|hold]].<ref name=Mitgang>Mitgang, Herbert. [https://www.nytimes.com/1990/07/11/books/books-of-the-times-fleeing-the-nazis-with-a-jaguar-that-may-be-real.html?pagewanted=1 "Books of The Times; Fleeing the Nazis With a Jaguar That May Be Real"], ''The New York Times'', July 11, 1990.</ref>

==Background==
Scliar was born in [[Porto Alegre]], [[Rio Grande do Sul]], into a Jewish family that immigrated to Brazil from [[Bessarabia]] in 1919. He graduated in medicine in 1962, majoring in [[public health]]. He first worked at the Jewish Hospital for the Elderly in Porto Alegre, and later worked in the public health field in [[tuberculosis]] prevention and treatment.<ref name="Jewish Renaissance"/>

==Writing==
A prolific writer, Scliar published over 100 books in [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], covering various literary genres: short stories; novels; young adult fiction; children's books; and essays.

In 1962, his first book ''Stories of a Doctor in Training'' was published, although later on  he regretted having published it so young. His second book ''The Carnival of the Animals'' was published in 1968.

In a recent autobiographical piece, Scliar discusses his membership of the Jewish, medical, [[Gaucho]], and Brazilian tribes. His novel ''The Centaur in the Garden'' was included among the 100 Greatest Works of Modern Jewish Literature by The National Yiddish Book Center. In an interview with Judith Bolton-Fasman published in ''The Jewish Reader'', August 2003, Scliar commented on his use of the [[centaur]] as a metaphor: "The centaur is a symbol of the double identity, characteristic of Jews in a country like Brazil. At home, you speak Yiddish, eat gefilte fish, and celebrate Shabbat. But in the streets, you have soccer, samba, and Portuguese. After a while you feel like a centaur."

==Translations==
Scliar's fiction has been translated into English, Dutch, French, Swedish, German, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, Czech, Serbian, Georgian, Slovene and Danish. His translated fiction is listed in the [[UNESCO]] international bibliography of translations.
