José Saramago e os Desafios do Nosso Tempo
José Saramago deixou-nos um legado intelectual e literário que convoca domínios tão diferentes, mas complementares e dialogantes, como a política, a filosofia, a economia, a ciência, a religião e a literatura. A universalidade das ideias, das ações e das palavras de Saramago serão tão mais universais quanto mais as fizermos ecoar e atuar no nosso mundo. Não basta dizer que a arte e, em particular, a literatura podem contribuir para a defesa da liberdade, da igualdade, dos direitos humanos e do meio ambiente. Os grandes problemas do nosso tempo são também as grandes questões da (grande) literatura e da (grande) arte contemporâneas, que, de diferentes modos, se propõem (re)des...

Historia trágico-marítima
Los viajes de los portugueses en ultramar merecieron numerosos textos en diversos géneros literarios, cuya expresión más eminente la constituye Os Lusíadas de Luís de Camões. En la prosa, y desde un ángulo testimonial sin fines poéticos, destacan las relaciones de viajes de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, en las que se cuentan, sobre todo, naufragios y trayectos llenos de peligros, asombro y denuncia. En el siglo XVIII, Bernardo Gomes de Brito compiló 12 relaciones en dos volúmenes; a esta colección la intituló História trágico-marítima. De esta seleccionamos cuatro grandes narraciones que transportarán a los lectores a las sabanas de Mozambique, a los asentamientos españole...
Dark Matter
A terrifying 1930s ghost story set in the haunting wilderness of the far north. January 1937. Clouds of war are gathering over a fogbound London. Twenty-eight year old Jack is poor, lonely and desperate to change his life. So when he's offered the chance to join an Arctic expedition, he jumps at it. Spirits are high as the ship leaves Norway: five men and eight huskies, crossing the Barents Sea by the light of the midnight sun. At last they reach the remote, uninhabited bay where they will camp for the next year. Gruhuken. But the Arctic summer is brief. As night returns to claim the land, Jack feels a creeping unease. One by one, his companions are forced to leave. He faces a stark choice. Stay or go. Soon he will see the last of the sun, as the polar night engulfs the camp in months of darkness. Soon he will reach the point of no return - when the sea will freeze, making escape impossible. And Gruhuken is not uninhabited. Jack is not alone. Something walks there in the dark...
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
The Girls of Slender Means (New Directions Classic)
"Long ago in 1945 all the nice people in England were poor, allowing for exceptions," begins The Girls of Slender Means, Dame Muriel Spark's tragic and rapier-witted portrait of a London ladies' hostel just emerging from the shadow of World War II. Like the May of Teck Club itself—"three times window shattered since 1940 but never directly hit"—its lady inhabitants do their best to act as if the world were back to normal: practicing elocution, and jostling over suitors and a single Schiaparelli gown. The novel's harrowing ending reveals that the girls' giddy literary and amorous peregrinations are hiding some tragically painful war wounds. Chosen by Anthony Burgess as one of the Best Modern Novels in the Sunday Times of London, The Girls of Slender Means is a taut and eerily perfect novel by an author The New York Times has called "one of this century's finest creators of comic-metaphysical entertainment."
