Como tudo começou: a história e 35 histórias dos 35 anos da Oficina de Criação Literária da PUCRS
Este livro conta a história de vários inícios. Primeiro, o início da Oficina de Criação Literária da PUCRS, que completa anos em – a mais longeva em funcionamento no país. O surgimento da Oficina está retratado num saboroso artigo de Luís Roberto Amabile e num instigante perfil escrito por Fred Linardi sobre Luiz Antonio de Assis Brasil. Ministrada desde a primeira edição por Assis Brasil, a Oficina exerce papel importante em nosso sistema literário, revelando, a cada ano, novos escritores. Pensando nisso, este livro também reúne contos publicados, quase todos, em antologias da Oficina. E assim, como ressalta Gabriela Richinitti na introdução a esta "antologia das antologias", aqui se encontram os inícios de carreira de vários nomes fundamentais da literatura brasileira contemporânea.
Dedos de nanquim. Coletânea dos finalistas da 9a edição do Concurso Rasuras
Em um gesto de arte, Dedos de nanquim ultrapassa o subtítulo de coletânea para empreender uma jornada única. Os textos finalistas da 9a edição do Concurso Rasuras revelam talentos literários surgidos no contexto acadêmico em uma tentativa de sublimação das questões humanas em contos e poemas. Somando esforços, a Pró-reitoria de Pesquisa e pós-graduação, o Instituto de Cultura, a Editora da PUCRS (ediPUCRS) e a Escola de Humanidades tornaram possível essa reunião de escritoras e escritores em edição impressa. As frases e os versos deste livro carregam a história de suas palavras, desde o rascunho até o ponto final.

The Spirit of Utopia
I am. We are. That is enough. Now we have to start. These are the opening words of Ernst Bloch's first major work, The Spirit of Utopia, written mostly in 1915-16, published in its first version just after the First World War, republished five years later, 1923, in the version here presented for the first time in English translation. The Spirit of Utopia is one of the great historic books from the beginning of the century, but it is not an obsolete one. In its style of thinking, a peculiar amalgam of biblical, Marxist, and Expressionist turns, in its analytical skills deeply informed by Simmel, taking its information from both Hegel and Schopenhauer for the groundwork of its metaphysics of m...
Diary of the Fall
A powerful and heartbreaking novel about love, guilt and memory -- and the stories we choose to tell about ourselves and each other. 'I often dreamed about the moment of the fall, a silence that lasted a second, possibly two, a room full of sixty people and no one making a sound, as if everyone were waiting for my classmate to cry out... but he lay on the ground with his eyes closed.' A schoolboy prank goes horribly wrong, and a thirteen-year-old boy is left injured. Years later, one of the classmates relives the episode as he tries to come to terms with his demons. Diary of the Fall is the story of three generations: a man examining the mistakes of his past, and his struggle for forgiveness; a father with Alzheimer's, for whom recording every memory has become an obsession; and a grandfather who survived Auschwitz, filling notebook after notebook with the false memories of someone desperate to forget. Beautiful and brave, Michel Laub's novel asks the most basic -- and yet most complex -- questions about history and identity, exploring what stories we choose to tell about ourselves and how we become the people we are."
Blood-Drenched Beard
Blood-Drenched Beard is the gripping, visceral English-language debut from Daniel Galera. His father shoots himself, and all he's left with is the old cattle dog and a vague desire for explanation. He loves swimming so he drifts south to Garopaba, a quiet little town on the Brazilian coast, where his grandfather disappeared in mysterious, possibly brutal, circumstances decades before. There, in the midst of romantic flings and occasional trips, he comes to discover more than he could ever have imagined - not just about his grandfather, but also about himself. Praise for Daniel Galera: 'Outstandingly powerful'- Estado de Sao Paulo 'The writer who has evolved more than any other of his generation'- NoMinimo Daniel Galera was born in Sao Paulo in 1979. He co-founded the influential publishing house Livros do Mal, and has translated David Foster Wallace, Zadie Smith and Irvine Welsh into Brazilian Portuguese. He has published a collection of short stories and three novels, as well as an acclaimed graphic novel (with Rafael Coutinho).
