Vila Mathusa
Composto por oito textos, VILA MATHUSA conta as histórias entrecruzadas de moradores transgênero que habitam uma mesma vila na capital paulista. Explorando formas e atmosferas diversas, como as narrativas de detetive, cartas e diários, a autora contempla momentos de perda, ternura, suspense e humor, sob a perspectiva de personagens tão distintos quanto Aurora e Rubi, duas crianças em um dia de aventuras, e Mathusa, a travesti que é a "matrona" da vila. Temas como o envelhecimento, os afetos e o sentido de comunidade são tratados com riqueza visual. Soma-se a isso uma cuidadosa pesquisa histórica sobre as memórias de um Brasil autoritário, que não desiste de se presentificar na vida de corpos dissidentes.

Lord Pennywort was having to question his loyalties; to his alien friends whom he had served since his abduction in 1666, or to his new friends Vicky and Trevor who he greatly admired. Could he work with both to find a way forward and help the Earth find a new stability? The Earth was in turmoil following the ravages of plague; the population was decimated; utilities greatly diminished, and looting and riots were frequent. Vicky and Trevor were hoping that Lord Pennywort, with his powers, would work with the nations left to bring back some stability,but would this all be too much opening the way for the Siriusians to move to Earth? Would it end Trevor andVicky's hopes of going, Ad Astra, to the stars. This book is not just science fiction, it has love and romance,wickedness and murder, warmth and laughter and a good sprinkling of suspense. It will make the reader sit up and take notice; it is close to the truth!

Patricia Sauthoff examines the role of such ritual elements in rites to alleviate illness and death. She includes analysis of the various forms of the deity Amrtesa or Mrtyuñjaya (Conqueror of Death), the nature of mantra, and the relationship between the tantric practitioner and the patient. This work explores what is meant by immortality within the medieval context and how one goes about attaining it. It asks how ritual alleviates illness, what role the deity plays in hea...
