“Nest of Dracogriffons” gathers the two first stories of Vannora, know as Lady of the Victorious Sword, a legendary weapon that never knew defeat. In “Among Giants”, a short tale, the warrior faces two giants of a race bred from men and demons, the Nephilim.

Em 1871 Charles Darwin propôs que os humanos evoluíram de primatas africanos ancestrais. Tempos depois, a ciência não apenas confirmou essa proposição como estabeleceu o quanto de DNA compartilhamos com outros grandes símios contemporâneos: orangotangos: 97%; gorilas: 98%; chimpanzés e bonobos: 99.6% . Quando, em 1961, Pierre Boulle começou a escrever Planeta dos Macacos, ele não tinha qualquer pretensão de englobar questões históricas e biológicas em sua obra, mesmo assim o fez. Ele também não previu que seu romance levantaria questões humanas atemporais que transcendem as esferas das ciência, ética, genética, religião, filosofia, psicologia, hierarquia, cultura e soci...
This book offers a pioneering critical history of Brazilian science fiction (SF) cinema, from its first appearances in the mid-twentieth century to the present. Though frequently overlooked by scholars, SF cinema from the Global South has reinvigorated the genre in recent decades. In this comprehensive study—the first of its kind in either English or Portuguese—Alfredo Suppia draws out the unique features and universal resonance of SF film in Brazil, a country that has fittingly been called "the land of the future." In Suppia's analysis, Brazilian SF stems from and responds to a long history of inequality in which everyday reality has often resembled a movie-like dystopia. Analyzing both short and feature films in the context of social, political, and economic transformations, Suppia rethinks SF film in general from a southern perspective.
The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms delivers a new, inclusive examination of science fiction, from close analyses of single texts to large-scale movements, providing readers with decolonized models of the future, including print, media, race, gender, and social justice. This comprehensive overview of the field explores representations of possible futures arising from non-Western cultures and ethnic histories that disrupt the “imperial gaze”. In four parts, The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms considers the look of futures from the margins, foregrounding the issues of Indigenous groups, racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities, and any people whose stakes in the global order of envisioning futures are generally constrained due to the mechanics of our contemporary world. The book extends current discussions in the area, looking at cutting-edge developments in the discipline of science fiction and diverse futurisms as a whole. Offering a dynamic mix of approaches and expansive perspectives, this volume will appeal to academics and researchers seeking to orient their own interventions into broader contexts.
