Portuguese Piano Music
As the first book of its kind, Nancy Lee Harper’s Portuguese Piano Music: An Introduction and Annotated Bibliography fills the gap in the historical record of Portuguese piano music from its start in the 18th century to the present. While although Spanish piano music is well documented owing to the reputation of such composers as Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, and Manuel de Falla, our knowledge of compositions in the tradition of Portuguese piano music has not fared as well, barring the work of Carlos Seixas (1704–1742). This obscurity, however, reflects poorly on the history of early piano music in light of the many compositions written for fortepiano on behalf of the Portuguese cour...
An African Family Archive
This is a rare and detailed account of what it meant to individual Africans to be turned almost overnight into colonial subjects in the nineteenth-century. The Lawson family of Aneho, a small town on the coast of Togo, possesses a letterbook of 718 documents in English, and this is the first attempt to publish such a source in its entirety. The correspondence dates mainly from the periods 1841-77 (relating to the transition from the Atlantic slave trade to 'legitimate trade', mainly in palm oil) and 1883-85 (a period dominated by the efforts of King G. A. Lawson III to prevent Aneho and its surroundings from becoming part of a French or German colony). The volume also contains documents from the early twentieth-century, including some illuminating pieces of local historiography. The documents are framed by a comprehensive editorial apparatus.

Os Devoradores de Livros
Quatro histórias, de entre treze, que marcam o regresso de um grande autor. Inspiradas no quotidiano, escritas com refinada ironia, apurado olhar social e, como não podia deixar de ser, com um humor único. Cena 1: Para o filósofo era apenas mais um serão de Inverno à volta da lareira. Conheceu um poeta e ficaram amigos. Cresceu uma admiração mútua, os livros e as palavras uniam-nos, e quando todos julgavam que finalmente o rapaz louco que vivia momentos cor-de-rosa havia mudado, algo de muito estranho começa a acontecer na biblioteca da família... Cena 2: Quando três homens entram e saem de várias salas, sobem e descem escadas, quem sabe do que estarão à procura. Ou, melhor ai...
