K
K is the story of a father who searches for his daughter, disappeared during the millitary dictatorship in Brazil. The first Brazillian edition sold out in a few weeks, and was shortlisted for many literary awards.
The Past Is an Imperfect Tense
B. Kucinski tells the story of a father-son relationship that begins intense and loving and ends up in pieces. Three factors come together in the story of the boy's life: adoption, drug addiction and racism. The father asks "Would it have been possible at any point to alter the course of this story? Or was it all destined to be?"
Bernardo Kucinski
K. è la storia di un padre alla ricerca della figlia, desaparecida nel 1974 durante la dittatura militare in Brasile; la storia di una ricerca in cui ogni indizio si dissolve prima di prendere forma concreta e durante la quale i ricordi dell’Europa riaffiorano foschi: il vecchio rivoluzionario polacco fuggito in tempo dalla Shoah non può fare infatti a meno di paragonare il vuoto lasciato dallo sterminio nazista al vuoto lasciato dalla scomparsa della figlia. La cronaca della ricerca di K. assume il ritmo di un thriller e, mentre il senso di colpa di essersi dedicato più al culto della letteratura yiddish che a sua figlia lo tormenta, K. affronta indomito e senza timore qualsiasi strada pur di avvicinarsi alla verità. Nel suo percorso K. arriverà inevitabilmente alle domande fondamentali che si pongono di fronte a ogni ingiustizia, ma inesorabilmente rimarrà all’oscuro del destino della figlia.
K.
Aclamado pela crítica e finalista dos prêmios Portugal Telecom e São Paulo de Literatura de 2012, K. é relançado pela Cosac Naify, por ocasião da efeméride de cinquenta anos do Golpe Militar de 1964, com posfácio de Renato Lessa. O romance de estreia do jornalista Bernardo Kucinski narra a história de um pai em busca da filha que desapareceu, como tantos outros, durante a ditadura no Brasil. A narrativa a um tempo enxuta e sensível de Kucinski é feita de capítulos quase independentes, apresentando vários ângulos de uma mesma história – a história da ausência e da impunidade.

Brazil, State and Struggle
Brazil: State and Struggle unmasks the apparent relaxation of political control by the military. The book's central theme is the history and development of the Brazilian labour movement and the attempts of the State to control and repress it. The struggle of the book's title refers principally to the struggle of the trade unions against the State since the labour legislation of the Vargas government in 1937 established State control of the unions up to the abertura of General Figueiredo who promised to bring democracy back to Brazil, even if he had to do it 'by force'.
Disseminating Jewish Literatures
The multilingualism and polyphony of Jewish literary writing across the globe demands a collaborative, comparative, and interdisciplinary investigation into questions regarding methods of researching and teaching literatures. Disseminating Jewish Literatures compiles case studies that represent a broad range of epistemological and textual approaches to the curricula and research programs of literature departments in Europe, Israel, and the United States. In doing so, it promotes the integration of Jewish literatures into national philologies and the implementation of comparative, transnational approaches to the reading, teaching, and researching of literatures. Instead of a dichotomizing app...
Politics Transformed
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (Lula) became Latin America's first democratically elected socialist leaders since Salvador Allende on October 27, 2002. He achieved nearly 62 per cent of the vote, to become the first left-wing politician to win his country's presidency. But behind this victory for Lula and his Workers' party (Partido dos Trabalhadores, or PT) is a long and difficult struggle for ascendancy which began in the early 1980s. Written by a Brazilian academic and a British journalist who have long associations with the PT, this book tells the story of the PT's origins and electoral history, outlining the key politicians behind it, as well as their four subsequent tries for power.
Las tres muertes de K.
"Todo en este libro es invención, aunque casi todo ha ocurrido". La desaparición de su hija lleva a K. a una incesante búsqueda para descubrir su paradero durante la dictadura militar brasileña de Ernesto Geisel. Su investigación le llevará también a afrontar sus sentimientos de culpa y a descubrir la identidad militante de su hija. Esta es la historia de una de las miles de desapariciones ocurridas en gran parte de Sudamérica durante las décadas de los sesenta y setenta, una de las más brutales consecuencias de la política estadounidense durante la Guerra Fría, en su "lucha" contra el comunismo. En este libro, realidad y ficción no funcionan como elementos contrapuestos sino como aspectos complementarios en la historia. El origen de esta novela reside en la desaparición en 1974 de Wilson Silva y su pareja Ana Rosa Kucinski, hermana del autor. Esta obra ha recibido una mención de honor en el premio Portugal Telecom de Literatura 2012.
Brazil, Carnival of the Oppressed

K. oder Die verschwundene Tochter

K., Besitzer eines Geschäfts für Herrenmode, erhält einen Anruf aus dem Labor, in dem seine Tochter als Chemikerin arbeitet: sie sei seit vierzehn Tagen dort nicht mehr erschienen.

Für K. ist das aus mehreren Gründen schockierend: Er glaubte seine Tochter, sein Lieblingskind, genau zu kennen und hielt sie für völlig unpolitisch. Und er begreift nicht, w...
