A inviolabilidade do domicílio é um direito fundamental garantido pelo artigo 5º, inciso XI da Constituição Federal, que protege a intimidade e o espaço pessoal necessário para o desenvolvimento da personalidade humana. Esta liberdade individual é um reflexo do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana e só pode ser restrita em circunstâncias excepcionais previstas na própria Constituição, como em casos de flagrante delito, onde é permitido o ingresso sem autorização judicial. No entanto, a interpretação desta norma constitucional gera controvérsias, pois há uma tensão constante entre a proteção do direito fundamental e os interesses da segurança pública. Historicamen...
Conforme disposto na nota dos coordenadores aos leitores do presente livro, "a obra reúne professores, advogados, juízes, delegado de polícia federal e membros do Ministério Público reconhecidos pela excelência intelectual e pela seriedade profissional, cujas carreiras e contribuições foram e são essenciais para o desenvolvimento dos debates sobre o enfrentamento ao crime organizado no Brasil.

'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.
Direito Penal e Processual Penal do Inimigo são temas tratados no Brasil como análogos ao direito penal do autor. Logo, não seria possível nem mesmo cogitar a aplicação dos referidos institutos no país. Podemos afirmar que esta posição é, até o momento, praticamente unânime no Brasil. A presente obra nasceu de pesquisa destinada a confirmar ou derrubar a orientação indicada. A conclusão é divergente do consenso, afastando qualquer aproximação com o direito penal do autor. A pesquisa aprofundada (especialmente da teoria dos sistemas e da raiz do pensamento de Günther Jakobs) demonstrou que, com as necessárias adaptações, os institutos podem ser aplicados no ordenamento p...
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.
About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
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.

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 ...
