Just Another Book On Love
Why would you want to read another book on the subject of love? If you've made it this far, congratulations. You've just came across yet another book on the subject of love. One among a million. Why should you read this one, instead of the one next door? The best answer I can give you is that I tried to keep all illusions and fantasies out of it - from it expect not fake beauty, nor fancy charm, and not even polished lines, but very real thoughts for real human beings, whoever they are and wherever they live in this vast world of ours. Whether you read it or not depends on you - from it, I can only promise you a realistic enquiry on the subject of love.
Poems to Ana
Poems to Ana is a book written by a man for a woman, with all the love that this world allowed him to have for her. Here presented in a bilingual Portuguese - English edition, these are poems written for, but also dedicated to, a woman when everything was far from perfect in her life. This small compilation contains completely honest verses, both truthful and beautiful, which were written with all the loyalty and compassion possible to a man. More than love poems, or friendship ones, these are poems in which each word was written with the honesty of trying to cheer up whoever is having a bad period in their lives. Compiled across months and originally published as a gift to Ana in her birthday, this is a book of poems for the Ana that exists in every woman, by a man who, more than anything in this world, wanted to make her smile, and which is here now available in bilingual form, for every English-speaker who is either trying to learn Portuguese, or just wants a beautiful poetry book written an ocean away.

Just Another Book On Dating
Yes, another book on the subject of dating - why should you read it?! When I wrote the previous book, "Just Another Book On Love", I wanted to focus on the subject of love itself. For this sequel, I decided to instead focus on the topic of dating; think about it - why can't people seem to find a real companion in a world which is more and more crowded with options and opportunities? Great question, right? That's what I attempt to answer here; if you're also wondering about the same thing, maybe this is indeed the book you're looking for!

Themes of the Trojan Cycle
The story of the Trojan War presented in the Iliad and the Odyssey, attributed to Homer, is incomplete. This book completes it. Originally presented as a thesis in the University of Coimbra (Portugal), this book reconstructs the plot of the Trojan War between the Iliad and the Odyssey. In order to do so, it uses the direct knowledge the authors of the Antiquity had of those subjects, but also iconographic sources, presenting them all and showing how they contribute to a faithful reconstruction of the Trojan Cycle, as it was known over 2000 years ago. Among the episodes reconstructed here are, for example, the battle against Penthesilea, the death of Achilles and the famous ruse of the Trojan Horse. This is a work interesting not only for those who already read the Iliad and the Odyssey, but also for everyone who has some interest in Greek and Roman Mythology.
Why Did the Inquisition Ban Certain Books?
You may have heard about the fact the Inquisition banned many books, but why? Taking advantage of the Portuguese example of the Catálogo de Livros que se Proíbem Nestes Reinos, published in this country in the year of 1581, and which is essentially a local edition of the famous Index Librorum Prohibitorum, this book explores the reasons why the Inquisition forbade the reading of certain books. It provides succinct information on each of the books presented in this particular catalogue, along with the probable reasons why they were forbidden to Christian audiences.
