In the Meadow of Fantasies
Written by the winner of IBBY's Best Book Award, Mohammad Hadi Mohammadi, In the Meadow of Fantasies is one girl's luminous escapade into a land of seven mysterious horses. A young girl with a physical disability gazes up at a mobile of spinning horses from her little pink bed in her room filled with leafy plants. As she watches them prance about, the tufted snout of a real live horse peeks through her bedroom door. Soon enough, our bright protagonist is off and cantering on an adventure with seven majestic horses. The first six are easily understood: their colors, dreams, families, and origins are described and accompanied with exquisite drawings. The seventh horse, however, is an enigmatic creature with no clear hue or history, a lack that is soon filled in by the loving offerings of the other ponies. A story about dreaming and about caring for others, In the Meadow of Fantasies will remind young readers of their own reveries and conjure new fantasies of friendly creatures in far off lands.
Triângulo das Águas
"Triângulo das águas", publicado originalmente em 1983 e há anos fora de catálogo, é um dos melhores livros de Caio Fernando Abreu (1948-1996). Reconhecido com o Prêmio Jabuti – a naior honraria literária brasileira –, Triângulo é também um título exemplar do ponto de vista do estilo do autor: nas linhas das novelas que o compõem – "Dodecaedro", "O marinheiro" e "Pela noite" – encontram-se cristalizadas algumas constantes na obra de Caio. A alma perdida em busca de alguma coisa (às vezes afeto), a verborragia e as referências que, longe de afetadas, exalam sinceridadee aproximam os leitores, a vida sob o signo da madrugada, as boas-vindas aos mistérios da existência, concretizados, neste livro, pela presença da astrologia (inclusive no título), e o tom confessional-desesperado.
Whatever Happened to Dulce Veiga?
A forty-year-old Brazilian journalist reduced to living in a dilapidated building inhabited by a bizarre human fauna—fortune-tellers, transvestites, tango-loving Argentinean hustlers—is called upon to track down and write the story of Dulce Veiga, a famous singer who disappeared twenty years earlier on the eve of her first big show. Thus begins a mad race through an underground, nocturnal São Paulo among rock bands with eccentric names, feline reincarnations of Vita Sackville-West, ex-revolutionaries turned junkies, gay Pietas, echoes of Afro-Brazilian religions, and intimations of AIDS . . . Constructed like a mystery, the novel unravels over a week, evoking a decadent and contaminated atmosphere in which the journalist's own search for meaning finds its expression in the elusive Dulce Veiga, who constantly appears to him as if in a dream, her arm pointing heavenward. Whatever Happened to Dulce Veiga? is a descent into the underworld of contemporary megalopolises where, like the inside of a huge TV, life intermingles with bits of music, film clips, and soap opera characters in a crazy and macabre dance, moving toward a possible catharsis.
