Tempo e os Direitos Fundamentais
Esta obra foi produzida em homenagem ao querido Professor Ricardo Castilho, organizada e escrita por autores que em sua grande maioria são doutorandos ou em algum momento de sua jornada acadêmica foram alunos do querido Professor. Composta por artigos que tratam da temática do tempo e dos direitos fundamentais, a coletânea é formada por dez textos que transitam entre questões teóricas e práticas que se utilizam dos direitos fundamentais, apontando suas ramificações com outras áreas do Direito, seja no campo da propedêutica, seja no campo da dogmática jurídica. A contribuição acadêmica da presente obra possibilitará aos estudiosos do Direito e da Filosofia, textos reflexivos e críticos a respeito de um tema tão importante e pouco explorado.
Transnacionalidade e globalização
A concepção tradicional de soberania, caracterizada como uma, absoluta e perpétua, encontra-se atualmente em xeque diante dos impactos da globalização, da reconfiguração econômica e dos avanços das tecnologias da informação e comunicação. A globalização das necessidades ambientais e a complexa gestão dos recursos naturais desafiam diretamente os princípios arraigados das concepções clássicas de soberania, conferindo-lhes uma fragilidade contemporânea e sujeitando-os a processos de mitigação. Na esfera ambiental, a interação entre o avanço tecnológico, o estabelecimento de leis de alcance internacional e a escassez crescente dos recursos naturais tornou complexa a r...

Mud Sweeter than Honey
"[An] incredibly moving collection of oral histories . . . important enough to be added to the history curriculum" Telegraph "A moving evocation of the 'everyday terror' systematically perpetrated over 41 years of Albanian communism . . . An illuminating if harrowing insight into life in a totalitarian state." Clarissa de Waal, author of ALBANIA: PORTRAIT OF A COUNTRY IN TRANSITION "Albania, enigmatic, mysterious Albania, was always the untold story of the Cold War, the 1989 revolutions and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Mud Sweeter Than Honey goes a very long way indeed towards putting that right" New European After breaking ties with Yugoslavia, the USSR and then China, Enver Hoxha believed ...

The Bride of Amman
The Bride of Amman, a huge and controversial bestseller when first published in Arabic, takes a sharp-eyed look at the intersecting lives of four women and one gay man in Jordan's historic capital, Amman-a city deeply imbued with its nation's traditions and taboos. When Rana finds herself not only falling for a man of the wrong faith, but also getting into trouble with him, where can they go to escape? Can Hayat's secret liaisons really suppress the memories of her abusive father? When Ali is pressured by society's homophobia into a fake heterosexual marriage, how long can he maintain the illusion? And when spinsterhood and divorce spell social catastrophe, is living a lie truly the best option for Leila? What must she do to avoid reaching her 'expiry date' at the age thirty like her sister Salma, Jordan's secret blogger and a self-confessed spinster with a plot up her sleeve to defy her city's prejudices? These five young lives come together and come apart in ways that are distinctly modern yet as unique and timeless as Amman itself.

Labyrinth
Notable International Crime Novel of the Year – Crime Reads / Lit Hub From a prize-winning Turkish novelist, a heady, political tale of one man’s search for identity and meaning in Istanbul after the loss of his memory. A blues singer, Boratin, attempts suicide by jumping off the Bosphorus Bridge, but opens his eyes in the hospital. He has lost his memory, and can't recall why he wished to end his life. He remembers only things that are unrelated to himself, but confuses their timing. He knows that the Ottoman Empire fell, and that the last sultan died, but has no idea when. His mind falters when remembering civilizations, while life, like a labyrinth, leads him down different paths. From the confusion of his social and individual memory, he is faced with two questions. Does physical recognition provide a sense of identity? Which is more liberating for a man, or a society: knowing the past, or forgetting it? Embroidered with Borgesian micro-stories, Labyrinth flows smoothly on the surface while traversing sharp bends beneath the current.
The Infatuations
The Infatuations is a metaphysical murder mystery and a stunningly original literary achievement by Javier Marías, the internationally acclaimed author of A Heart So White and Your Face Tomorrow. Every day, María Dolz stops for breakfast at the same café. And every day she enjoys watching a handsome couple who follow the same routine. Then one day they aren't there, and she feels obscurely bereft. It is only later, when she comes across a newspaper photograph of the man, lying stabbed in the street, his shirt half off, that she discovers who the couple are. Some time afterwards, when the woman returns to the café with her children, who are then collected by a different man, and Maria app...
