Land of Cockaigne
A novel written as a sharp parable of American society, addressing love, purpose, discrimination, and poverty. In Jeffrey Lewis's novel of the same name, the Land of Cockaigne, once an old medieval peasants' vision of a sensual paradise on earth, is reimagined as a plot on the coast of Maine. In efforts to assuage their grief over their son's death and to make meaning of his life, Walter Rath and Catherine Gray build what they hope will be a version of paradise for a group of young men from the Bronx. As Walter and Catherine work to reinvent this land, formerly a summer resort, the surrounding town of Sneeds Harbor proves resistant. The residents' well-meaning doubts lead to well-hidden thre...
História E Memória De Brasilândia/ms - Patrimônio
Este livro integra o 2º volume da coleção História e Memória de Brasilândia/MS dedicada aos 50 anos de emancipação político administrativa do município de Brasilândia/MS e dá destaque aos eventos históricos que gravitam em torno do Patrimônio Cultural desta cidade, sua Vida Sociocultural e os Eventos que marcaram a trajetória desta comunidade, bem como busca recuperar a história de suas Associações, Clubes e Sindicatos, seus dirigentes e membros, e as realizações que empreenderam.

Longe de ser um inventário completo deste segmento, presta singela homenagem a todos que contribuíram para o engrandecimento da cultura local, bem como premia os esforços das instituições, públicas e privadas, que os promoveram perpetuando-os no tempo e na história.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

GÊNEROS E DIVERSIDADES EM FOCO: Diálogos necessários
O conceito de gênero sempre foi – e ainda é – uma temática que gerou discussões. Ao tensioná-lo e uni-lo a outros marcadores sociais da diferença, ou mesmo ao deslocá-lo, a fim de romper com o binômio feminino/masculino, emergem questões ainda mais complexas. A obra GÊNEROS E DIVERSIDADES EM FOCO: diálogos necessários se constitui em um espaço onde normas e padrões são postos em cheque por meio de análises aprofundadas em torno do gênero, na tentativa de romper com padrões sociais impostos que são a base para a propagação das mais diversas formas de violência.
