The Adventures of Narizinho (Translated)
This book contains: - 10 new illustrations by Rafael Sam. - Translation and adaptation by Cleo Monteiro Lobato. The Adventures of Narizinho by Monteiro Lobato was the first children's book written by a Brazilian author. Its first version, still in the form of multiple short stories, was written in 1920. It has been rewritten and revised by the author himself, who published new versions over the years. Like the author, we're publishing yet another updated version translated by Cleo Monteiro Lobato, the author's great-granddaughter, and with illustrations by Rafael Sam. On these pages, the reader will experience Narizinho's first adventure at Picapau Amarelo Ranch, the birth of the Emília doll, and meet other characters. This is a fundamental work of Brazilian literature and now presented in a version that respects our contemporary values.

The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature
The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature is by far the most comprehensive work of its kind ever written. Its three volumes cover the whole sweep of Latin American literature (including Brazilian) from pre-Colombian times to the present, and contain chapters on Latin American writing in the USA. Volume 3 is devoted partly to the history of Brazilian literature, from the earliest writing through the colonial period and the Portuguese-language traditions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and partly also to an extensive bibliographical section in which annotated reading lists relating to the chapters in all three volumes of The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature are presented. These bibliographies are a unique feature of the History, further enhancing its immense value as a reference work.
