O conjunto de escritores (com ou sem experiência) foi reunido por um interesse comum, o de consolidar neste livro parte da experiência ímpar que foi vivida pelos autores nos círculos militares.

Cada conto é inaugurado por uma belíssima aquarela, preparad...
Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation.

immy Page is still recognized as one of the most influential guitarists of all time and one of the most important rock composers worldwide. And Page's relationship with Brazil is old: in addition to having starred in many meetings with national music stars, the Led Zeppelin guitarist spent seasons in Bahia and inaugurated Casa Jimmy to house homeless youth in the capital of Rio de Janeiro – which earns him the title of Honorary Citizen of Rio de Janeiro. This intense story is the theme of Jimmy Page in Brazil, a bilingual book (Portuguese / English) by journalist and musician Leandro Souto Maior. The book has a preface by Ed Motta, one of the greatest collectors and connoisseurs of Led Zeppelin's work in Brazil, and postscript by young guitarist Sebastião Reis, the son of musician Nando Reis, what confirms that the band has crossed generations. The layout and cover bear the signature of Tomás Paoni, the artistic director of the project. The cover photo is by Marcos Hermes, a great photographer in the Brazilian music market. The edition is signed by Chris Fuscaldo, director of Garota FM Books.

Architecture of Brazil: 1900-1990 examines the processes that underpin modern Brazilian architecture under various influences and characterizes different understandings of modernity, evident in the chapter topics of this book. Accordingly, the author does not give overall preference to particular architects nor works, with the exception of a few specific works and architects, including Warchavchik, Niemeyer, Lucio Costa, and Vilanova Artigas.
O inglês Jimmy Page ainda é reconhecido como um dos guitarristas mais influentes de todos os tempos e um dos mais importantes compositores do rock no mundo todo. E a relação de Page com o Brasil é antiga: além de ter protagonizado muitos encontros com estrelas da música nacional, o guitarrista do Led Zeppelin passou temporadas na Bahia e inaugurou a Casa Jimmy para abrigar jovens sem lar na capital fluminense – o que lhe rendeu o título de Cidadão Honorário do Rio de Janeiro. Essa história para lá de intensa é o tema de Jimmy Page no Brasil, livro bilíngue (Português / Inglês) do jornalista e músico Leandro Souto Maior. O livro tem prefácio de Ed Motta, um dos maiores colecionadores e conhecedores da obra do Led Zeppelin, e posfácio do jovem guitarrista Sebastião Reis, o filho de Nando Reis, confirmando que a banda atravessou gerações. A diagramação e a capa levam a assinatura de Tomás Paoni, diretor artístico do projeto. A foto da capa é de Marcos Hermes, grande fotógrafo do mercado da música. A edição é assinada por Chris Fuscaldo, diretora da Garota FM Books.
