Caros leitores, é com imenso prazer que apresentamos o livro História de Estância Velha: dos povos originários à emancipação. Essa obra transcende a mera documentação histórica; ela serve como uma ponte entre o passado e o presente. Cada capítulo revela uma parte essencial da identidade e do desenvolvimento da cidade, desde a ocupação indígena e a colonização portuguesa e alemã até os primeiros passos do município a partir da emancipação na década de 1960. A partir deste livro, será possível testemunhar o pioneirismo e a influência dos povos que moldaram culturalmente Estância Velha. Além disso, a obra permite conhecer aspectos importantes da indústria, da política, da sociabilidade, do trabalho e do ecumenismo da cidade. Enriquecido com registros fotográficos e informações históricas, a jornada do município é documentada de forma impactante, preservando a memória e a identidade local.

'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.
