Bioética e Cuidados Paliativos
Bioética não é confortável. Confortável são os costumes e os hábitos. A bioética aponta incoerências e questiona costumes, alguns nos quais antes sequer havíamos percebido que havia um por quê de fazer daquele jeito. Desde os primeiros relatos de Ética de que temos notícias, desde a época de Sócrates (o filósofo, não o jogador, que por sinal, também questionava), estas perguntas têm feito seu papel de trazer novas reflexões, novos debates, novos diálogos, novos consensos e entre trancos e barrancos, a despeito das injustiças e das tragédias, ao longo dos séculos seguimos com uma melhoria discreta e contínua na nossa história como sociedades. Nem sempre com momentos ...

The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas
"Be aware that frankness is the prime virtue of a dead man," writes the narrator of The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas. But while he may be dead, he is surely one of the liveliest characters in fiction, a product of one of the most remarkable imaginations in all of literature, Brazil's greatest novelist of the nineteenth century, Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis. By turns flippant and profound, The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas is the story of an unheroic man with half-hearted political ambitions, a harebrained idea for curing the world of melancholy, and a thousand quixotic theories unleashed from beyond the grave. It is a novel that has influenced generations of Latin American writers but remains refreshingly and unforgettably unlike anything written before or after it. Newly translated by Gregory Rabassa and superbly edited by Enylton de Sá Rego and Gilberto Pinheiro Passos, this Library of Latin America edition brings to English-speaking readers a literary delight of the highest order.
The Collected Stories of Machado de Assis
New York Times Critics’ Best of the Year A landmark event, the complete stories of Machado de Assis finally appear in English for the first time in this extraordinary new translation. Widely acclaimed as the progenitor of twentieth-century Latin American fiction, Machado de Assis (1839–1908)—the son of a mulatto father and a washerwoman, and the grandson of freed slaves—was hailed in his lifetime as Brazil’s greatest writer. His prodigious output of novels, plays, and stories rivaled contemporaries like Chekhov, Flaubert, and Maupassant, but, shockingly, he was barely translated into English until 1963 and still lacks proper recognition today. Drawn to the master’s psychologicall...
Honor, Status, and Law in Modern Latin America
This collection brings together recent scholarship that examines how understandings of honor changed in Latin America between political independence in the early nineteenth century and the rise of nationalist challenges to liberalism in the 1930s. These rich historical case studies reveal the uneven processes through which ideas of honor and status came to depend more on achievements such as education and employment and less on the birthright privileges that were the mainstays of honor during the colonial period. Whether considering court battles over lost virginity or police conflicts with prostitutes, vagrants, and the poor over public decorum, the contributors illuminate shifting ideas ab...
