Rain Forest Literatures
Native texts of the Amazonian rain forest have been viewed as myth or ethnographic matter-the raw material of literature-rather than as significant works in their own right. But in this unprecedented study, Lzcia Sa approaches indigenous texts as creative works rather than source material. Disclosing the existence and nature of longstanding, rich, and complex Native American literary and intellectual traditions that have typically been neglected or demeaned by literary criticism, Rain Forest Literatures analyzes four indigenous cultural traditions: the Carib, Tupi-Guarani, Upper Rio Negro, and Western Arawak. In each case, Sa considers principal native texts and, where relevant, their public...
Lucia Lucia
« Captivant ! » - Entertainment Weekly New York, 1950 À vingt-cinq ans, Lucia Sartori est certainement la plus jolie fille du quartier. L'après-guerre a ouvert de nombreuses possibilités aux jeunes femmes ambitieuses, et Lucia vient de commencer comme apprentie couturière au très chic grand magasin B. Altman sur la 5e Avenue. Son père, qui a brillamment réussi dans les affaires et tient l'épicerie fine italienne la plus réputée, l'a toujours encouragée dans ses ambitions, mais les traditions sont tenaces... Fiancée à son amour d'enfant, l'inébranlable Dante DeMartino, Lucia est déchirée lorsqu'elle rencontre un bel inconnu qui lui promet une vie de luxe dans les beaux quartiers, une vie comme elle n'en lit que dans les magazines. Forcée de choisir entre sa famille et ses rêves, Lucia se retrouve au centre d'un scandale qui révélera des secrets enfouis. L'honneur des Sartori est en jeu... « Cette histoire réconfortante vous offre une merveilleuse leçon sur la façon de prendre des risques dans la vie comme dans l'amour. » - Cosmopolitan U.S.
Lucia
Zlo sa nezastaví pred ničím. Preto ho musí zastaviť ona. Skupina študentov kriminológie zo španielskej Salamanky odhalí existenciu vraha, ktorý svoje obete aranžuje podľa renesančných obrazov. Je možné, že vraždil znova? Keď polícia nájde brutálne ukrižovaného madridského vyšetrovateľa, zdá sa, že sa nemýlili. Jeho partnerka Lucia Guerrero sa s pomocou študentov púšťa do zložitého vyšetrovania. Spoločne budú čeliť svojim najhorším obavám, vlastnej minulosti – a pravde, ktorá je odpornejšia než všetky zverstvá z legiend a mýtov.
Life in the Megalopolis
The modern metropolis has been called 'the symbol of our times', and life in it epitomizes, for many, modernity itself. But what to make of inherited ideas of modernity when faced with life in Mexico City and São Paulo, two of the largest metropolises in the world? Is their fractured reality, their brutal social contrasts, and the ever-escalating violence faced by their citizens just an intensification of what Engels described in the first in-depth analysis of an industrial metropolis, nineteenth century Manchester? Or have post-industrial and neo-globalized economies given rise to new forms of urban existence in the so-called developing world? Life in the Megalopolis: Mexico City and São ...

The Amazon
In the eight pieces that make up Land Without History, first published in Portuguese in 1909, Euclides da Cunha offers a rare look into twentieth century Amazonia, and the consolidation of South American nation states. Mixing scientific jargon and poetic language, the essays in Land Without History provide breathtaking descriptions of the Amazonian rivers and the ever-changing nature that surrounds them. Brilliantly translated by Ronald Sousa, Land Without History offers a view of the ever changing ecology of the Amazon, and a compelling testimony to the Brazilian colonial enterprise, and its imperialist tendencies with regard to neighboring nation-states.
