Transatlantic Obligations
"The sixteenth-century changes wrought by expansion of the Spanish empire into Peru shaped the ways of being a family in colonial Peru. Even as migration, race mixture, and transculturation took place, family members fulfilled obligations to one another by adapting custom to a changing world. Family began to shift when, from the moment of their arrival in 1532, Spaniards were joined with elite indigenous women in political marriage-like alliances. Almost immediately, a generation of mestizos was born that challenged the hierarchies of colonial society.

Madalena
“Madalena” é concebido em linguagem simples, realçando delicados e confusos sentimentos, revelando a existência de certos personagens que se interrelacionam num mundo complicado e cujo desvelamento é apresentado pelo autor. É possível extrair de alguns momentos de sua concepção e enredo, passagens de diversas nuances, ora leve como brisa que sopra, ora ferinas na expressão e na intenção. A maioria das situações narradas neste livro aconteceu em São José do Calçado, extremo sul do Estado do Espírito Santo, mais precisamente na fazenda denominada Penedo. Os fatos, quase totalmente verídicos, ocorreram durante o ano de 1964 e os personagens foram pessoas reais, algumas com os seus nomes verdadeiros.

Captain James Burney (1750–1821), the son of the musicologist Dr Charles Burney and brother of the novelist Fanny Burney, was a well-travelled sailor, best known for this monumental compilation of voyages of discovery in the Pacific Ocean.

These volumes, published between 1803 and 1817, and regarded as the standard work on the subject for much of the nineteenth century, contain collected accounts of European voyages of discovery in the Pacific Ocean between 1492 and 1764.
