Desvelar o Olhar que (Re)Cria: O Mito e a Cidade
O livro Desvelar o olhar que (re)cria: o mito e a cidade tem como objetivo identificar a especificidade dos olhares — tantos e tão variados — dispensados ao espaço urbano de Lisboa, tendo como elemento motivador a constatação básica da existência de categorias diferentes de olhares no que tange à produção literária portuguesa compreendida em período delimitado por obras concebidas nos séculos 20 e 21 e que tiveram por objeto temático a capital lisboeta. O objeto de análise privilegiado é o romance A Cidade de Ulisses (2011), da escritora portuguesa contemporânea Teolinda Gersão. Além dele, são trabalhadas também duas outras importantes obras da literatura portuguesa d...
Literatura Portuguesa Contemporânea entre Ficções e Poéticas
Esta coletânea nasceu do curso de extensão Introdução à Literatura Portuguesa Contemporânea, ministrado na Universidade de São Paulo (USP) no segundo semestre de 2018. Trata-se de um volume que busca apresentar escritores, obras e temas, com o intuito de despertar o interesse pela produção literária portuguesa dos últimos anos, sobretudo naqueles que ainda conhecem pouco desse universo. Contudo não deixa de oferecer análises de contribuição específica às fortunas críticas dos autores contemplados.
In Your Hands
An internationally acclaimed, award-winning novel spanning three generations of women united in their struggle for independence and fulfillment against oppression.

Until Stones Become Lighter Than Water
A novel about the horrors of war and its aftermath from one of Europe’s most brilliant authors Award-winning author António Lobo Antunes returns to the subject of the Portuguese colonial war in Angola with a vigorous account of atrocity and vengeance. Drawing on his own bitter experience as a soldier stationed for twenty-seven months in Angola, Lobo Antunes tells the story of a young African boy who is brought to Portugal by one of the soldiers who destroyed the child’s village, and of the boy’s subsequent brutal murder of this adoptive father figure at a ritual pig killing. Deftly framing the events through an assembly of interwoven narratives and perspectives, this is one of Lobo Antunes’s most captivating and experimental books. It is also a timely consideration of the lingering wounds that remain from the conflict between European expansionism and its colonized victims who were forced to accept the norms of a supposedly superior culture.
