Pequeno Grande Herói
Com sua inteligência sensível, própria dos poetas, mesmo quando escrevem em prosa, Angela Leite de Souza nos reconta a história de um jovem herói chinês. Acompanhando um relato bem próximo da realidade que o inspirou, assistimos à assustadora consequência de um dos inevitáveis desastres naturais - o terremoto -, dos quais nenhum lugar do mundo pode se dizer livre. O garoto Xiao Li, de nome tão curto, é levado a agir de forma grandiosa ao decidir ajudar os que estão na mesma situação que ele. Ao abordar um tema que andava ausente dos textos para jovens, "Pequeno Grande Herói" renova uma literatura que trata de valores essenciais à humanidade: a cooperação, a esperança e a amizade. Lino de Albergaria
The Libertine's Friend
Delving into three hundred years of Chinese literature, from the mid-sixteenth century to the mid-nineteenth, The Libertine’s Friend uncovers the complex and fascinating history of male homosexual and homosocial relations in the late imperial era. Drawing particularly on overlooked works of pornographic fiction, Giovanni Vitiello offers a frank exploration of the importance of same-sex love and eroticism to the evolution of masculinity in China. Vitiello’s story unfolds chronologically, beginning with the earliest sources on homoeroticism in pre-imperial China and concluding with a look at developments in the twentieth century. Along the way, he identifies a number of recurring characters—for example, the libertine scholar, the chivalric hero, and the lustful monk—and sheds light on a set of key issues, including the social and legal boundaries that regulated sex between men, the rise of male prostitution, and the aesthetics of male beauty. Drawing on this trove of material, Vitiello presents a historical outline of changing notions of male homosexuality in China, revealing the integral part that same-sex desire has played in its culture.

China's Elite Politics: Political Transition And Power Balancing
China's Elite Politics provides a new theoretical perspective on elite politics in China and uses this theoretical perspective to explain power transfer from Jiang Zemin to Hu Jintao and political dynamics between different factional groups since the Sixteenth Party Congress of November 2002. It explains the transition in structural terms, presents characteristics of China's political elites, and analyzes the balance of power among formal institutions as well as among factional groups. It also examines political interactions between Jiang Zemin and his cronies on the one side and Hu Jintao and his allies on the other over a number of issues: the epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS); ideological institutionalization; the politics over economic overheating; Jiang Zemin's complete retirement; and Hu Jintao's power consolidation in both ideological and personnel terms. /a
