Arquétipos do Sul Global: a Divina Comédia entre o Ceará, o Nordeste e o Sul do Mundo
A Divina Comédia influenciou as culturas do Sul global? O presente livro propõe uma leitura da Divina Comédia e da sua circulação através de uma ótica que, ao mesmo tempo, é local, nacional e global. O que interessa no presente livro não são as influências, mas as recriações, as ressignificações, das quais a obra-prima de Dante foi objeto, tanto no Ceará como no Nordeste e no Sul do Mundo. Todos os textos são derivados de apresentações propostas no I Colóquio Arquétipos do Sul Global: a “Divina Comédia” entre o Ceará, o Brasil e o Sul do Mundo, realizado em Fortaleza nos dias 26 e 27 de março de 2024 na Universidade Federal de Ceará e no dia 28 de março de 2024, no Espaço O Povo.
Leituras e contraponto
O livro nasceu de uma colaboração entre a Universidade Federal do Ceará, a Scuola Superiore Meridionale di Napoli e a Università degli Studi di Genova. É o resultado de uma conferência intitulada Letterature in contrappunto. Esperienze di critica letteraria tra Mediterraneo e Atlantico, que ocorreu no dia 8 de dezembro de 2020, na Universidade Federal do Ceará. O livro reverbera o tema que o intitula. Tenta colocar em diálogo pesquisas brasileiras e italianas que se contrastam, se entrelaçam ou simplesmente se complementam.
Under the Frangipani
Captivating magical realism from a leading African writer.
FEM
This modern classic of global feminist literature, the only novel by one of Romania's most heralded poets, styled as a long letter addressed to the man who is about to leave her, a woman meanders through a cosmic retelling of her life from childhood to adulthood with visionary language and visceral, detail. Like a contemporary Scheherazade, she spins tales to hold him captivated, from the small incidents of their lives together to the intimate narrative of her relationship to womanhood. Through a dreamlike thread of strange images and passing characters, her stories invite the reader into a fantastical vision of love, loss, and femininity.
Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.

Eco-Friendly Biobased Products Used in Microbial Diseases
There are alarming reports of new and emerging microbial diseases. The recent emergence of COVID-19 is a burning example that has attracted global attention. Not only this, the development of multidrug resistance in microbes is frightening and thus the available antibiotics have been ineffective.

This book would be an essential reading for students, researchers and people from pharma industries. Key features: • Describes the biobased natural products to combat microbial diseases. • Examines the antimicrobial potential of mushrooms, endophytes and secondary metabolites. • Discusses the role of defensins and terpenes in microbial diseases. • Incorporates natural products from the Amazon for treating microbial diseases.
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 ...
