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...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

The Italian
An emblematic story of the shipwreck of the Arab Spring At his father's funeral, to the great consternation of all present, Abdel Nasser beats the imam who is celebrating the funeral rite. The narrator, a childhood friend of the protagonist, retraces the story of "the Italian" from his days as a free and rebellious adolescent spirit to the leader of a student movement and then affirmed journalist. Those were crucial years in Tunisia, years of great tension, change, and repression. Against this background full of revolutionary ferments stands the tormented love story between Abdel Nasser and Zeina, a brilliant and beautiful philosophy student. Their dreams will unfortunately end up being wrecked under the ruthless gears of a corrupt and chauvinist society. Abdel Nasser's transformation from a young idealist with high hopes to a successful, but disillusioned and tired journalist is masterfully narrated in a stream of stories, digressions and flashbacks in which the narrative tension is always high. Winner of the 2015 International Prize for Arabic Fiction
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics in Clinical and Herbal Medicines

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.
