São poemas que refletem o ser holístico que somos no nosso cotidiano e nas nossas contradições...
A ideia deste livro surgiu a partir de um trecho do Sermão do Monte ("Bem-aventurados os que têm fome e sede de justiça porque serão saciados") e da música "Comida", do grupo de rock Titãs ("A gente não quer só comida. A gente quer comida, diversão, balé..."). Não temos somente fome de comida. Temos fome de tanta coisa, seja material, psicológica, espiritual... Como somos famintos! No intuito de saber do que temos fome e como saciá-la tendo como prato principal os ensinamentos de Jesus à luz da doutrina espírita, convidei pensadores espíritas e organizei este livro. Os colegas que escreveram esta obra comigo falam sobre as próprias fomes, que são também as fomes de todos nós. E falam principalmente do valioso nutriente para que todos nós, sem exceção, sejamos saciados em plenitude. Boa leitura e bom apetite! Marcelo Teixeira, organizador
'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.

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.
Grounded in painstaking research, To Defend the Revolution Is to Defend Culture revisits the circumstances which led to the arts being embraced at the heart of the Cuban Revolution. Introducing the main protagonists to the debate, this previously untold story follows the polemical twists and turns that ensued in the volatile atmosphere of the 1960s and ’70s. The picture that emerges is of a struggle for dominance between Soviet-derived approaches and a uniquely Cuban response to the arts under socialism. The latter tendency, which eventually won out, was based on the principles of Marxist humanism. As such, this book foregrounds emancipatory understandings of culture. To Defend the Revolut...
