A obra que ora apresentamos ao leitor se inclui no âmbito de um processo mais amplo de reflexão e ressignificação do estudo do Direito e do Direito Privado na contemporaneidade. A complexidade do mundo da vida, inerente a uma sociedade secularizada, recusa o abstracionismo oitocentista e suas classificações e categorias herméticas por evidente insuficiência em explicar a dinâmica do fenômeno jurídico. Através do olhar aguçado de alguns dos mais modernos e estudiosos juscivilistas, vindos dos quatro cantos do Brasil, as instituições do Direito Privado se revelam entrelaçadas, conectadas e coimplicadas em textos que evidenciam que a função do Direito na vida das pessoas somen...
Fruto da dissertação com a qual a autora obteve título de Mestre em Direito pela Universidade Estadual de Londrina, esta obra trata de tema atual e muito instigante: o contrato de namoro. Com as mudanças ocasionadas nos relacionamentos interpessoais, o namoro se aproximou do que se entende como união estável, uma vez que os requisitos caracterizadores da união estável se tornaram perceptíveis no namoro. Essa situação ocasiona inquietudes quanto à insegurança jurídica latente de um eventual reconhecimento da união estável em um relacionamento de namoro. É nesse contexto que se insere o objeto da pesquisa, o contrato de namoro, o qual consiste em um negócio jurídico, sendo a exteriorização de um negócio jurídico contemporâneo. O contrato de namoro é um instrumento pelo qual as partes pactuam sobre o relacionamento que mantêm, bem como traçam aspectos patrimoniais e extrapatrimoniais que entendem como relevantes, principalmente exteriorizam que não pretendem e não se consideram uma família. Trata-se de uma alternativa ao reconhecimento de uma união estável.

In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
The first novel from Madagascar ever to be translated into English, Naivo’s magisterial Beyond the Rice Fields delves into the upheavals of the nation’s precolonial past through the twin narratives of a slave and his master’s daughter. Fara and her father’s slave, Tsito, have shared a tender intimacy since her father bought the young boy who’d been ripped away from his family after their forest village was destroyed. Now in Sahasoa, amongst the cattle and rice fields, everything is new for Tsito, and Fara at last has a companion to play with. But as Tsito looks forward toward the bright promise of freedom and Fara, backward to a twisted, long-denied family history, a rift opens tha...
