Trinta e três de agosto
A vida, cada vida, mesmo a que parece sempre tão igual a si mesma e a tantas outras, encontram na autora portuguesa Raquel Laranjeira Pais uma retratista minuciosa. Todos os seus contos trazem na receita uma pitada ou mais de aflição. Momentos de crise e momentos de libertação. De um jeito, e numa sintaxe, muito lusitano e muito brasileiro, as personagens buscam fazer sentido primeiramente para elas mesmas. Quase sempre femininas, tentam abrir caminho – ou entender onde saíram da trilha certa – numa selva urbana de plantas domesticadas e animais indomesticáveis. Há muitos e diversos bichos nas histórias de Raquel e todos são personagens involuntárias e indiferentes do drama humano. Mas indiferença é uma das sensações que o leitor deste livro não terá.

Terra firme e outras histórias
Com curadoria e organização de Noemi Jaffe, "Terra Firme e outras histórias" apresenta narrativas breves — produzidas pelos escritores que frequentam suas oficinas — que conectam o leitor a temas sutis e intensos, que passam pela violência doméstica, pelas relações amorosas ou pelas mudanças do eixo da Terra. Como peças desencaixadas, os personagens deslocam-se em busca de sentidos, recomeços, recompensas. E terra firme. Cortázar disse que se o romance vence por pontos, o conto deve vencer por nocaute. As histórias desta coletânea seduzem o leitor antes de imobilizá-lo, antes de abandoná-lo em estado de suspensão. A intensidade dos personagens é constituída por nenhum maniqueísmo e muitos matizes.
Narrativas inquietas
Conrad é também nas narrativas curtas um autor excepcional. À construção detalhada das cenas e da paisagem onde ambienta suas histórias, somam-se personagens construídas com profundidade em contextos marcados pela observação crítica apurada. Em sua pena, atmosfera, cenários e personagens confundem-se e amalgamam-se num todo dramaticamente constituído em que aventura, crítica e complexidade tornam sua obra sempre intensamente atual e cativante. Narrativas Inquietas apresenta seis contos e duas peças, inéditas em língua portuguesa, de Joseph Conrad. Conrad é mais conhecido por seus romances. No Coração das Trevas, Lord Jim, Nostromo, Sob os Olhos do Ocidente, O Agente Secret...

Poems and Fragments
Presents a Sappho by a poet and translator that treats the fragments as aesthetic wholes, complete in their fragmentariness, and which is also, as the translator puts it: 'ever mindful of performative qualities, quality of voice, changes of voice...'
The Calligraphy of Dreams
When Señora Mir lays her body across the abandoned tracks for a tram that will never arrive, she presents Ringo Kid with a riddle he will not unravel until after her death. In Ringo's Barcelona, life endures in the shadow of civil war - the Fascist regime oversees all. Inspired by glimpses of Hollywood glamour, he finds his own form of resistance, escaping into myths of his own making, recast as a heroic cowboy or an intrepid big-game hunter. But when he finds himself inveigled as a go-between into an affair far beyond his juvenile comprehension, he is forced to turn from his interior world and unleash his talent for invention on the lives of others. And all the while he is left to wonder - what could have happened to Señora Mir that day to send her so far beyond the edge of reason? The Calligraphy of Dreams is a luminescent coming-of-age novel with a devilish twist. Reminiscent of Atonement and The Go-between, it is the culmination of the life's work of one of the greatest living Spanish men of letters.
