Slave Rebellion in Brazil
On the night of January 24, 1835, hundreds of African Muslim slaves poured into the streets of Salvador, capital of the Brazilian province of Bahia, to confront soldiers and armed civilians. Nearly 70 slaves were killed. More than 500 were sentenced to death, prison, whipping or deportation. Although the rebel slaves failed to win their freedom, the repercussions of their actions were felt throughout the nation, making this the most important urban slave rebellion in the Americas, and the only one in which Islam played a major role. In this history of the 1835 uprising, Joao Jose Reis draws on hundreds of police and trial records in which Africans, despite obvious intimidation, spoke out about their cultural, social, economic, religious and domestic lives in Salvador. Now available in this revised and expanded English edition, "Slave Rebellion in Brazil" is a portrait of the conditions of urban slavery and an absorbing account of conspiracy, uprising and punishment. --

The Cuban Revolution
For more than fifty years, the revolutionary experience in Cuba was the stage for such re markable personalities as Che Guevara and for dramatic events like the missile crisis. All these 20th century historic icons are interwoven with the deep internal restructuring of the Cuban economy and society, and the related challenge to the United States' prior unopposed hegemony over Latin America. The complexities of these elements should not be dismissed, for, in them selves, they are an explanation for the passions and interpretative battles that are evoked still today by this Caribbean revolution.
Narizinho Arrebitado
Narizinho Arrebitado de Monteiro Lobato foi a primeira obra infantil escrita por um autor brasileiro. Sua primeira versão, ainda em forma de fascículo, aconteceu no ano de 1920, a qual foi reescrita e revisada pelo próprio autor ao longo dos anos, que a publicou em novas versões. Tal como o autor, estamos publicando mais uma versão atualizada com a consultoria de Cleo Monteiro Lobato, bisneta do escritor e as ilustrações de Rafael Sam. Nestas páginas, o leitor vai vivenciar a primeira aventura de Narizinho no Sítio do Picapau Amarelo, o nascimento da boneca Emília e conhecer outros personagens. Trata-se de uma obra fundamental para a literatura brasileira, agora em versão atual aos valores contemporâneos.
