Elves, Orcs and Assault Rifles
An epic of fantasy and adventure that takes place on the streets of São Paulo, Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, New York and Washington, in the confines of the Amazon rainforest, and under the scorching heat of Cuba. On a day that will never be forgotten, the Dark Lord and the remnants of his evil armies disembark in the heart of the USA, while his enemies, the Peoples of Light, break out in the middle of a storm of destruction in another distant corner of the world: on the main avenue of the largest Brazilian city. The meeting of fantastic beings from a destroyed mystical land with ordinary people of the present day results in a deadly conflict between the moral relativism of the modern world versus the absolute values of Good and Evil, originating from a strange, mysterious and dangerous land.

Postcolonial Disorders
The essays in this volume reflect on the nature of subjectivity in the diverse places where anthropologists work at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Contributors explore everyday modes of social and psychological experience, the constitution of the subject, and forms of subjection that shape the lives of Basque youth, Indonesian artists, members of nongovernmental HIV/AIDS programs in China and the Republic of Congo, psychiatrists and the mentally ill in Morocco and Ireland, and persons who have suffered trauma or been displaced by violence in the Middle East and in South and Southeast Asia.

Toda a saudade do mundo
Jorge Amado era 'um homem epistolar', segundo o organizador desta obra, filho do escritor baiano. As cartas de Jorge a Zélia foram preservadas por ela em cinco pastas, misturadas a cartas que escreveu ao marido e a outras que receberam do pai de Jorge, da mãe e da irmã de Zélia, além de bilhetes dos filhos. O tom das cartas de Jorge é de um homem apaixonado, atencioso e preocupado com a mulher e a família, mas também prático, envolvido com a política e zeloso da própria obra. O livro fornece dados biográficos e permite conhecer um pouco do processo criativo, do dia a dia e da vida íntima do escritor. Ele escreveu para a mulher também durante o exílio, e as cartas registram as dificuldades e provações experimentadas na Europa do pós-guerra, a vida cultural na capital francesa, a participação do escritor no Conselho Mundial da Paz e viagens por cidades como Berlim, Viena, Praga, Estocolmo, Helsinque e Varsóvia. Alguns episódios históricos, no contexto da Guerra Fria, ganham destaque - a eleição na Itália em 1948, a morte de Gandhi, a Guerra da Coreia, a crise dos mísseis e o bloqueio a Cuba, assim como o prêmio Nobel de Pablo Neruda.
