Rainbow Milk
Nominated for a 34th annual Lambda Literary Award • An essential and revelatory coming-of-age novel from a thrilling new voice, Rainbow Milk follows nineteen-year-old Jesse McCarthy as he grapples with his racial and sexual identities against the backdrop of his Jehovah's Witness upbringing. In the 1950s, ex-boxer Norman Alonso has immigrated to Britain from Jamaica with his wife and children in order to secure a brighter future. Blighted with unexpected illness and racism, Norman and his family are resilient but are all too aware that their family will need more than just hope to survive in their new country. At the turn of the millennium, Jesse seeks a fresh start in London, escaping a broken immediate family, a repressive religious community, and his depressed hometown in the industrial Black Country. But once he arrives he finds himself at a loss for a new center of gravity and turns to sex work, music, and art to create his own notions of love, masculinity, and spirituality. A wholly original novel as tender as it is visceral, Rainbow Milk is a bold reckoning with race, class, sexuality, freedom, and religion across generations, time, and cultures.
Boring Postcards
Martin Parr is a key figure in the world of photography and contemporary art. Some accuse him of cruelty, but many more appreciate the wit and irony with which he tackles such subjects as bad taste, food, the tourist, shopping and the foibles of the British. Parr has been collecting postcards for 20 years, and here is the cream of his collection - his boring postcards. With no introduction or commentary of any kind, Parr's boring postcards are reproduced straight. They are exactly what they say they are, namely boring picture postcards showing boring photographs of boring places, presumably for boring people to buy to send to their boring friends. All of them are shot in Britain, taking us o...

Juventude e sagrado
Juventude e Sagrado: Evangelizar num contexto plural é um incentivo a mais para ajudar na evangelização das juventudes num cenário de profundas e rápidas mudanças sociais, religiosas, políticas, cujo centro de ação maior é a cultura. Com este texto, o autor nos proporciona um mergulho no mistério, na religiosidade e nas expressões do sagrado, para melhor compreender a altura, a profundidade e a largueza do amor de Deus que se revela no cotidiano de nossas vidas, sobretudo dos jovens. Há nas juventudes um desejo profundo de Deus. O texto renova a crença no potencial religioso dos jovens e fortalece as iniciativas de tantos homens e mulheres que acreditam que outro mundo é possível. Jesus Cristo não passa, mesmo que os tempos mudem. Como bem disse papa Francisco aos jovens na JMJ do Rio de Janeiro: "A cruz não passa por nós sem nos tocar; também nós não passamos por ela sem ficarmos marcados por sua força transformadora".
Não deixeis que vos roubem a esperança
Não enterreis os talentos! Apostai em grandes ideais, aqueles ideais que dilatam o coração, aqueles ideais de serviço que fecundam vossos talentos. A vida não nos é dada para que a conservemos zelosamente para nós mesmos, mas nos é dada para que a doemos. Caros jovens, tende ânimo grande! Não tenhais medo de sonhar coisas grandes!

Concílio Vaticano II
O Concílio Vaticano II abriu nova era para a Igreja católica. Foi um momento de elaboração, consenso e definição que acolheu décadas de reflexão e de práticas que haviam insistido no diálogo com o mundo moderno, e sofrido restrições e condenações da própria Igreja. Significou, portanto, um ponto de chegada que desafogou gritos presos na garganta de muitos cristãos, fez justiça a teólogos antes execrados, e realizou expectativas de cristãos leigos sobre sua atuação no mundo da política e da cultura. Enquanto ponto de chegada, o Vaticano II significou grande avanço na autocompreensão da Igreja, bem como na compreensão do mundo moderno e de sua prática pastoral.
Portuguese Literature and the Environment
Portuguese Literature and the Environment explores the relationship between Portuguese literature and the environment from Medieval times to the present. From the centrality of nature in Medieval poetry, through the bucolic verse of the Renaissance, all the way to the Romantic and post-Romantic nostalgia for a pristine natural or rural landscape under threat in the wake of industrialization, Portuguese literature has frequently reflected on the connection between humans and the natural world. More recently, the postcolonial turn in contemporary literature has highlighted the contrast between the environment of the former colonies and that of Portugal. Contributors to the collection examine h...
Deus e sua criação
No centro desta obra, encontra-se uma doutrina de Deus que documenta, em estreita relação com a Bíblia e, principalmente, com Jesus de Nazaré, o interesse de Deus pelos seres humanos. Ao mesmo tempo, revela-se aqui um Deus criador, cuja atuação dinâmica pode ser percebida também contra o pano de fundo de intelecções científico-naturais da cosmologia, física quântica e teoria do caos. Dessa maneira, o autor aponta uma saída sólida do estreitamento no pensamento judeu-cristão sobre a criação, um estreitamento novamente atual.
