Un ruído provocado(r)
Esta obra reúne 12 voces arredor da vida, mais, sobre todo, da obra de Luísa Villalta. Todas buscan provocar un ruído: facer pensar arredor da poeta, da narradora, da ensaísta, da dramaturga, da profesora, en definitiva, da muller que Villalta foi. Estas páxinas abalan entre a lembranza, o estudo rigoroso, a contextualización da súa produción, a reivindicación dos seus compromisos, o agarimo das amigas, a posta en valor do seu culturalismo e a visibilización do pouso que deixou en diferentes ámbitos. Nelas, a lectora e o lector atento poderán descubrir por si mesmos as arestas dunha autora que non renunciou a ningún xénero literario nin a comprometerse coa sociedade que lle tocou vivir. Marta Dacosta, Francisco Fernández Naval, Alexandrina Fernández Otero, Carmen Fernández Pérez-Sanjulián, Rosalía Fernández Rial, Maribel Longueira, Antía Otero, Roberto Pascual, Montse Pena Presas, Ana Pillado, Susana Sanches Arins e Cesáreo Sánchez Iglesias achégannos a unha das poucas creadoras galegas que, á vez que se introduciu no ámbito da ficción, reflexionou sobre ela. Escoitemos, porque todos os ruídos resultan ser provocadores.
The First Wife
After twenty years of marriage, Rami discovers that her husband has been living a double--or rather, a quintuple--life. Tony, a senior police officer in Maputo, has apparently been supporting four other families for many years. Rami remains calm in the face of her husband's duplicity and plots to make an honest man out of him. After Tony is forced to marry the four other women--as well as an additional lover--according to polygamist custom, the rival lovers join together to declare their voices and demand their rights. In this brilliantly funny and feverishly scathing critique, a major work from Mozambique's first published female novelist, Paulina Chiziane explores her country's traditional culture, its values and hypocrisy, and the subjection of women the world over.

THE BLACK TULIP (Historical Adventure Novel)
This carefully crafted ebook: "THE BLACK TULIP (Historical Adventure Novel)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The story begins with the 1672 lynching of the Dutch Grand Pensionary Johan de Witt and his brother Cornelis by a wild mob of their own countrymen, considered by many as one of the most painful episodes in Dutch history, described by Dumas with a dramatic intensity. The city of Haarlem, Netherlands, has set a prize of ƒ100, 000 to the person who can grow a black tulip, sparking competition between the country's best gardeners to win the money, honor and fame. Only the city's oldest citizens remember the Tulip Mania thirty years prior, and the citizens throw themselves into the competition. The young and bourgeois Cornelius van Baerle has almost succeeded but is suddenly thrown into the Loevestein prison… Alexandre Dumas, père (1802-1870) was a French writer whose works have been translated into nearly 100 languages and he is one of the most widely read French authors. His most famous works are The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers.
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.

Coleoptera, Beetles. Morphology and Systematics
This book is a revised edition of the first of three volumes in the Handbook of Zoology series which treats the systematics and biology of Coleoptera. With over 380,000 described species, Coleoptera are by far the most species-rich order of insects and the largest group of animals of comparable geological age. Moreover, numerous species are tremendously important economically. The beetle volumes meet the demand of modern biologists seeking to answer questions about Coleoptera phylogeny, evolution, and ecology. This first Coleoptera volume covers the suborders Archostemata, Myxophaga and Adephaga, and the basal series of Polyphaga, with information on world distribution, biology, morphology of all life stages, phylogeny and comments on taxonomy.
