Cenários contemporâneos no âmbito da governança global
Este livro celebra o encontro de reflexões sobre o papel do Estado e das Instituições diante dos desafios contemporâneos, visando apresentar perspectivas acerca do futuro do Multilateralismo. Nesta direção, de que maneira a atuação do Estado e das Instituições, bem como as diretrizes da Governança Global, poderiam contribuir para a articulação de políticas públicas em meio à crise contemporânea? Como conduzir, nesse cenário, mecanismos factíveis que sejam condizentes com a plataforma da gestão ambiental e da promoção da sustentabilidade? Estes são alguns dos pontos que especialistas sobre o tema procuram explorar na presente obra.

Política Externa Brasileira e Combate à Fome: lições do passado, perspectivas para o futuro
Durante os dois primeiros governos Lula (2003-2010) ocorreu uma “perfeita sintonia” entre o Presidente da República e o seu ministro das relações exteriores. De um lado a experiência acumulada do chanceler e de outro a vontade política do presidente de “fazer as coisas acontecerem” como ele mesmo costuma dizer. O nome que se deu a isso reflete com precisão a nova orientação implementada na política externa, onde o combate a fome - que já era prioridade interna desde a campanha eleitoral - era apenas a cereja do bolo. Ou seja, um ornamento importante, mas um ator coadjuvante do processo. O objetivo principal era a busca da soberania, do respeito no cenário internacional; a experiência brasileira na exitosa política de combate à fome foi apenas um dos vários instrumentos utilizados!
The Animal Days
A woman's story of movement as a both a lifestyle and a rite of passage, The Animal Days follows Julia's journey of love and rock-climbing across three continents. In this fast-paced novel, joy is linked to self-destruction, love is inseparable from death, freedom is twinned with unbearable solitude, and life is worth only as much as a given moment. The taste for risk and vertigo never stop: they feed each other as the abyss approaches. Julia, determined to never look back, lives perpetually on the brink, even if it means shedding her own skin in the process.
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 Mosquito Bite Author
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.
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 ...
