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.

Ten of his stories are included here, and are accompanied by strong and diverse representations of the contemporary story in B...

Murilo Rubião – Obra completa
Em formato econômico, os 33 contos de Murilo Rubião, expoente máximo da literatura fantástica brasileira, cujos textos anteciparam-se ao gênero literário que anos depois revelaria autores como Gabriel García Márquez e Julio Cortázar. Sucesso de vendas na década de 1970, Murilo Rubião se aventurou no universo do fantástico mesmo sem conhecer Franz Kafka e antes de o gênero ficar em voga entre os escritores latino-americanos. Além de precursor - seus contos foram escritos, em sua maioria, entre os anos 1940 e 1960 -, Rubião é mestre em fazer o absurdo penetrar na realidade cotidiana, subvertendo-a e lançando novos olhares sobre temas consagrados da literatura, como o desejo, a...
