Lucifer Over London
London, a city of constant transition, transaction, translation. London does not exist; London is a language without a place and it is the aphasic city; it's the mother of all languages. Lucifer Over London is a new anthology nine narrative essays written by a host of international prize-winning authors including Chloe Aridjis, Viola di Grado, Xiaolu Guo, Joanna Walsh and Zinovy Zinik. First published in Italy by Humboldt Books, Lucifer Over London is now appearing in English for the first time. This is a version of London as seen from the immigrants of recent migrations, of deportations to come, from those who create London even as they contradict it.
Terceiro andar sem elevador
Uma reflexão pessoal sobre a vida moderna. Um conjunto de notas sobre o quotidiano de uma mulher na cidade de Lisboa. Um diário geográfico, afetivo e fragmentário, que nos conduz a um território simultaneamente íntimo e público. «Sempre gostei de guardar postais de lugares próximos de mim, mais do que de lugares distantes. Tenho em casa, por exemplo, um postal de uma das ruas onde vivi em Lisboa, logo após o regresso de Londres. Não é uma recordação:é uma nota a mim mesma para me lembrar do quanto viajei para quase não sair do lugar.» Em Terceiro andar sem elevador, Susana Moreira Marques é autora e, ao mesmo tempo, personagem de uma história que se conta em episódios sem...
Quanto tempo tem um dia
Diz-se: Quem tem mãe, tem tudo. Mas quem sabe, afinal, o que têm em comum todas as mães do mundo e de absolutamente particular cada uma delas? Como definir a experiência da maternidade? Num livro íntimo, Susana Moreira Marques regista os seus dias com as suas filhas e partilha – em diálogos inovadores – as histórias e perspectivas que foi ouvindo de outras mães. Atento aos detalhes mais reveladores do quotidiano, aos pequenos e grandes gestos, aos momentos previsíveis e imprevisíveis da vida doméstica, este é um retrato único, franco e complexo de uma experiência simultaneamente comum e extraordinária. Um livro que se guia pela minúcia do amor para reflectir sobre as angústias e as alegrias de ser mãe.

The Best, Most Awful Job
Motherhood is life-changing. Joyful. Disorientating. Overwhelming. Intense on every level. It's the best, most awful job. From dating as a single mum to adopting your baby, becoming a stepmother to enduring a miscarriage, there are a million different ways to be a mother. Yet some voices are still too often heard above others. It's time to broaden the conversation. From the introduction: 'We need to talk about all the different ways of being a mother. The true, dirty business of motherhood is a constellation of experiences. That is the only universal: everybody finds their own way through. At its core, this is a book about love. It's a snapshot of reality, told in twenty-two dazzling voices; the best job in the world, and simultaneously the most awful. Because motherhood is everything at once: pleasure and pain, anger and tenderness, light and shade. In short, true love.'

Matters of Life and Death
In this extraordinary book, Iona Heath draws on her experience as a general practitioner to select and comment on a collection of passages concerning death and dying, and to consider the essential nature of general practice. In Ways of Dying Heath illuminates the process for professionals and lay readers, and stimulates consideration of approaches to improved care at end of life. Her renowned work The Mystery of General Practice (which has been unavailable for some time), considers the complex character of this field, its core values and changing roles. The two extended essays cover important issues on the role of the healthcare professional in the care of the dying, the idea of life and death, and the essential nature of general practice. Matters of Life and Death offers inspiration for all doctors, especially those with an interest in medical humanities. It will also be of great interest to general readers interested in end of life matters, and the nature and art of medicine.
