A independência do Brasil aconteceu em 1822 e teve como grande marco simbólico o grito da independência , que foi realizado por Pedro de Alcântara (D. Pedro I), às margens do Rio Ipiranga, no dia 7 de setembro. Contudo, mesmo após 199 anos, o País carece do que há de mais essencial para que essa independência se consolide: educação de qualidade, inclusiva e comprometida com o desenvolvimento pleno do povo. Sem educação não há democracia, a cidadania não se efetiva e a igualdade delineada na constituição Federal de 1988 não encontra condições essenciais para sua concretização. Os quatro capítulos que integram o presente livro provocam uma reflexão que apresenta alguma...

Apesar de ter ganhado espaço nos noticiários nacionais somente em 2021, a síndrome de Haff, também conhecida como doença da urina preta, registrou seu primeiro surto no Brasil em 2008, no estado do Amazonas, quando foi associado à ingestão de peixes da espécie pacu.

'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.

Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

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.
