Brazilian Publishers Project
Created in 2008, Brazilian Publishers is a sector project that
encourages the export of content produced by Brazil’s publishing
houses. It is a result of a partnership between the Brazilian Book
Chamber (Câmara Brasileira do Livro – CBL) and the Brazilian
Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Agência Brasileira de
Promoção de Exportações e Investimentos – Apex-Brasil),
The proposal of this initiative is to promote Brazil’s publishing
industry in the global market in an articulate and well-directed
process and contribute to the professionalization of the nation’s
publishing houses. In order to achieve this goal, Brazilian Publishers
encourages exportation via actions directed toward the sale of
publishing rights, participation in international fairs and events and
the professional practice of businesspeople, as well as collaborators
and consultants specialized in business intelligence and prospecting
foreign markets. In addition to promoting exportation, the project’s
work also contributes to the country’s vision and positioning,
showing the world Brazil’s capacity for creating technical, literary
and technical content of considerable importance and value for
the international market.
Brazilian Publishers is currently comprised around to 70 publishing
houses which operate in the areas of Children’s Books, General
Works, Religious and Technical-Scientific Expertise.

brazilian book chamber
The Brazilian Book Chamber (Câmara Brasileira do
Livro - CBL) brings together editors, booksellers, distributors
and door-to-door sales companies since 1946. With more
than 650 members, the entity’s main goal is creating a
better country through the promotion of books and reading.
Brazil has for the second time been named (the first time
was in 1994) as the Guest of Honor at the Frankfurt Book
Fair, the largest and most important event of its kind in
the world. Brazilian participation in the event is organized
by the Ministries of Culture and Foreign Relations, the
National Library Foundation (Fundação Biblioteca
Nacional – FBN), the National Arts Foundation (Fundação
Nacional de Artes - Funarte) and the Brazilian Book
Chamber (commonly known as CBL).
Brazil’s participation in Frankfurt will include more than
160 publishers who will present their catalogs. More than
70 Brazilian authors will participate, with a rich program
of lectures and discussions on the themes of their works
in addition to readings. Plus, a vast cultural and gastronomic
schedule will showcase the diversity of our country and
the Brazilian way of life.
Brazil’s recognition in Frankfurt is of immense importance
for the country’s editorial production, which will be the
focus of the worldwide market. There are numerous
opportunities for business growth and wide exposure in
the international media.
The Brazilian Publishers project, a partnership between
the CBL and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion
Agency (Agência Brasileira de Promoção de Exportações
e Investimentos – Apex-Brasil), plays an important role
in this effort. It works so that exporting of books and sales
of foreign language rights gradually leads to a strengthening
of the publishing market.
Another important showcase for Brazilian editorial
production is the São Paulo International Book Biennial.
The CBL promotes this event, which was attended by
more than 750,000 people during its last edition, in 2012.
The 23rd São Paulo International Book Biennial will take
4
place August 21-31, 2014. The CBL also offers the Book
School program (Escola do Livro), which provides
continuing education for publishing professionals seeking
to improve their knowledge.
A partnership project between CBL and the Brazilian
Publisher’s Union (Sindicato Nacional de Editores de
Livros – SNEL) annually provides a complete survey of
the market: the Brazilian Publishing Industry Production
and Sales Study, which is conducted by the Economic
Research Foundation Institute (Fundação Instituto de
Pesquisas Econômicas – FIPE), an institution affiliated
with the University of São Paulo.
As it is concerned with all areas of Brazilian editorial
production, the CBL holds the CBL International Digital
Book Conference. The fourth edition took place in June
2013. The organization also promotes the Jabuti Award,
which has been recognized as the leading and most
respected award in the Brazilian publishing business
for 55 years.
The award is given to publishers, writers, illustrators,
translators, cover artists and designers throughout
Brazil. Acclaimed names such as Ana Maria Machado,
Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Chico Buarque de
Hollanda, Clarice Lispector, Ferreira Gullar, Jorge Amado,
Lygia FagundesTelles, Raquel de Queiroz and Ziraldo
are among those who have been honored.
The CBL and its members demonstrate, through the
various initiatives mentioned here, the interest of the
Brazilian publishing market in internationalizing its literary
production. We are a country that is a purchaser of foreign
editorial rights, and we are ready to promote our editorial
rights throughout the world.
Thank you for visiting us and we
hope you enjoy our books!

81 sectors of the Brazilian economy, which export to more
than 200 markets. In partnership with sector associations,
the Agency organizes trade promotion initiatives, such as
prospective and trade missions, business rounds, support to
the participation of Brazilian companies in major international
fairs and customized tours to foreign buyers and opinionmakers introducing them to the Brazilian productive structure.
Apex-Brasil also releases business and competitive intelligence
studies which play a critical role in the decision of Brazilian
companies to enter the international market.
Besides its headquarters in Brasilia, Apex-Brasil has Desks in
Brazilian states and Business Support Centers (BSCs) around
the world. These BSCs serve as platforms to assist Brazilian
companies in expanding their businesses to global markets,

Western Europe (Brussels - Belgium), Eastern Europe (Moscow

management models into Brazil and to strengthen supply chains.

Brazil, the country of diversity
and “bibliodiversity”
The tribute to Brazil at this Frankfurt Book Fair is an opportunity to
delve into the rich cultural universe of the country. So, anyone
who wants to learn about the best in Brazilian editorial production
should take a look not only at books published by “major” market
players. In Brazil there are numerous publishers that deserve
attention due to the quality and robustness of their catalogs,
built on bases of knowledge that the industry’s major players
cannot emulate.
Brazil boasts the largest association of independent publishers in
the world, LIBRE – the Brazilian League of Editors (Liga Brasileira
de Editores). It is composed of 117 companies that exchange
information and knowledge daily through their own network, doing
business in a collaborative manner.
Some of the country’s best publishing imprints can be found among
these publishers. In some fields, only they publish the best of
literature and essays in the country, for both adults and children.
There are publishers whose titles are references throughout the
country, in fields like education, popular culture, Afro-Brazilian
culture, Brazilian history, sociology, Marxism, literature, literary
criticism, sociology, etc..
As the president of this association, I cannot just mention one
without giving due credit to the rest. But I invite the reader to to
check out Brazilian independent production in particular.
I am sure a closer look at these companies will reveal one of the
finest features of current Brazilian society: its cultural, political,
religious, literary, and intellectual diversity. 10

In 2009, we began our work of enchanting readers. We publish Brazilian and international
authors and illustrators. Publishing electronic books is a priority for us. We use instudio narration and music to bring books alive for our readers, and, currently, you can
find our audio books distributed across a wide range of the most popular digital media
outlets. Aletria aims to ignite a passion for reading. As writer Alberto Manguel says, “The
act of reading brings back voices from the past, sometimes carrying them long into the
future, where we might be able to use them in courageous and unexpected ways.” For
this reason we believe in the process of reading and re-reading for in one moment, we
are one with the text, and then in another, we are no longer the same.

The four boys - Joe, Tom, Lou and Max - love to play the “why game”. They try to
find questions adults cannot answer, or they find new answers when they are not
satisfied with the adults’ replies. And there are many questions to think about.
Why are there stars in the sky? Why is there sand on the beach? Why do we
exist? Why do we need to sleep? Why are children smaller than adults?
The answers that the four friends find to these questions are funny,poetic, or
simply logical for a child’s mind. They can be the starting point for philosophical
conversations with young children.

goes straight to the computer. There, he becomes Birdboy. One day, he receives a
request from a girl asking to be his friend on MSN. An intense exchange of messages
reveals somebody who is in danger on the other side of the world. Friends from the
online game start to interact with Pipo, who participates on a plan to save the girl

In a small Polish town, there was an old teacher who helped people by telling
stories. He was always able to find the right story for the right person at the
right time. One day, a student asked him how he did it and he replied by telling
another story: there was a young boy who loved archery. One day, he came
across more than 100 targets, each with an arrow right in the center. Who
would be capable of such a feat? A 10 year old boy solved the mystery: “First I
shot the arrows and then paint the targets around it”. So, the old master
explained to his students that he did just as the boy: he listened to people’s
problems and then painted a story around their difficulties.
In the 16th century, a 15-year-old boy finds himself abandoned after the death
of his mother, who was persecuted on false charges of witchcraft. He is fated
to join the Portuguese overseas fleet, setting off on a risky voyage to the New
World. His ship is wrecked, however, and the boy faces months of solitary
survival in the unknown and exotic lands of Brazil in its early historical period.
Encountering settlers, he witnesses the curious relationship between catechized
natives and the Portuguese. Amidst passions, encounters, dangers and discoveries,
the youngster is exposed to the conflict between established truths and the
unrest of a vibrant and questioning life.

At the age of 11, Sérgio must leave behind his toys, the comfort of his home and
his caring parents to enter a new phase: boarding school. He is enrolled in the
prestigious Athenaeum – commanded by an also illustrious director: Aristarco.
At first dazzled by the aura of excellence that hovers over the school, Sergio
finds himself alone in a completely foreign world. Behind an acclaimed modern
education that attracts the children of the elite to the great school of its time, we
discover a tyrannical system, driven by the greedy excesses of the director.
Keeping the original text of Raul Pompeia, Marcello Quintanilha creates a
masterpiece in comic book form.
The animals of the Brazilian fauna are the protagonists of this delicate masterpiece
by José Paulo Paes and Rubens Matuck. It consists of eight poems accompanied
by beautiful watercolors, each one dedicated to a different creature: the ant, the
macaw, the sloth, the alligator, the hummingbird, the anteater and the agouti.
Through short and amusing verses, the book stimulates children’s sensibility to
the expressiveness of language.

The Fox’s Tail combines two traditions in a single book: fables about foxes and
cumulative tales. Metaphors for human behaviors, the fable, from Aesop to La
Fontaine and passed on by Phaedrus through a sea of anonymous people, has
one foot rooted in the magical and another in moral formation. The cumulative
tale, whose origin disappears during European Low Middle Ages, also tends to
have a formative dimension, despite its popular and entertaining function.

century, The Battle Between Oliveiros and Ferrabrás is a classic work of Brazilian
cordel literature and tells how Charlemagne and his knights battle the invaders,

Ferrabrás with all his bravado challenges the French knights to a one-on-one
duel. Despite being wounded, Oliveiros steps forth to battle Ferrabrás. Illustrators

between forest animals, starting with a frog determined to make himself more
bird-like in order to become beautiful in their eyes. The result might not be ideal
for anyone involved, until an ever unpredictable, but equally desirable
element intervenes: love.

Pedrita (Stony) collects all kinds of stones and loves them as much as she loves
her pets. This book talks about her relationship with her stones, her friends, her
boyfriend and her annoying brother until she finds a charmed stone. Between
the lines of a simple and funny story, the text enchants people of all ages with
its rhythm and mastery of the language. The book is full of turnarounds, traps
and unexpected moments, narrated throughout in a fast and sharp language.
Everybody has a little bit of an artist inside themselves. This boy has more than a
bit. He just cannot stand still. Moved by creative winds, his mind is constantly in
the middle of a dizzying whirlpool. By being like that, he has given life to a number
of apparently useless things. Will this continue once he grows up? Guto’s images
reaffirm art as an unlimited enigma because it often appears do lack purpose,
and it responds to the current flow of utilitarian and comforting messages with
uncertainty, indeterminacy and, above all, with humor that corrodes everything.

Arthur is one year old. As he looks at old photos from his birthday party, he
remembers the occasion and tries to find out what really happened that day.
Did he get a dinosaur as a birthday gift? Who were those people in the
photos? Through sensible and witty comments, this little narrator relates his
“debut in the world”. Each book of the series is a birthday party. Arthur grows
older with each book. And if the book is the birthday party, the reader is the
guest. In each book-party the reader gets to know a bit more about Arthur’s
story and his insights in different stages of life.
Francisco Moura Campos’ haiku poetry invites us for a journey of concise simplicity
of the transience of life. Using objective description of a physical sensation, the
author awakens memories and feelings. Lúcia Hiratsuka wraps the work with
delicate illustrations that impress the senses and reveal the harmony of the
entire work. Seize the journey. Bologna Children’s Book Fair 2013 (FNLIJ) and

Aimed at a teenage audience, this book provides valuable information on Financial
Education to those who are about to enter the labor market. Based on issues that
make young people lose their sleep, such as career choices and family relations,
the writer Reinaldo Domingos shows that it is important to establish a healthy
relationship with one’s finances early on. Going beyond the individual level, it
encourages young people to reflect, addressing important issues, such as tax load,
government budgets, technological entrepreneurship, aware consumption and
even the great human ideals, such as social and racial equality.
‘The Boy and the Money’ collection is comprised by three books that talk about
money in a playful and poetical manner, addressing reflections – although in a
simple manner – about what is engulfed by it. In order to develop financial
education for children, already in early childhood, the books present some
elements that symbolize the universe of money: currencies, piggy banks and
others. The books are The Boy and the Money; The Boy, the Money and the Three
Piggy Banks; and The Boy, the Money and the Antcicada.

With the slogan “More than books, dreams!”, DSOP Publisher summarizes its
core reason and the focus of its activities in the publishing market. After all, as
Shakespeare said: “We are such stuff as dreams are made on”. The children’s
literature catalogue, primarily, privileges magnificent titles that drive on children
the taste for reading and for fantasy, so essential for the harmonious arrangement
of their psychical and social lives. The publisher’s catalogue includes, among its
many other works, the first collection of financial education for elementary school
in the country, with books that encompass all the educational cycles, already
adopted by hundreds of private and public schools in Brazil, which educational
syllabus includes this specific subject matter.
With a gentle and funny language, ‘The Boy of Money’
collection is composed by five books that aim at
nurturing small readers’ dreams, dividing them into
material and non-material. Each volume of this
collection is based on a distinct line that follows,
respectively, the topics: Family (The Boy of Money
– Family Dreams), Diversity (The Boy of Money –
Attending School), Entrepreneurship (The Boy of Money
– Action Among Friends), Sustainability (The Boy of
Money – In a Sustainable World) and Autonomy/
Citizenship (The Boy of Money – Little Citizen).
The ‘Dream to be Collection’ is comprised by books that
refer to dreams and that provide children a first contact
with some universal human issues such as the search for
identity, the achievement of citizenship, the right to
education and to the very condition of being able to
dream. The works present four female characters seeking
to make their dreams come true. Diana lives on the streets
and wants to attend school (Diana, Luana, Luanda); Alice
wants to learn how to write her name (Alice’s Secret
Dream); Clariana wants to be noticed (Clariana, the
Invisible Girl); and Nina is fighting to defeat her fear of the
dark (Nina and the Night Lamp).

Dubolsinho was created in 2000 to publish quality books, with geographical, social
and cultural peculiarities that make it a highly original publishing house. Being a
non-profit company, it can sell at low prices, give big discounts to state institutions
and donate to community service organizations. Our most ambitious projects are
Lerês, a program to encourage reading and writing in public state schools, and the
creation of courses on drawing, music and environmental education, to which part
of our annual net revenue is allocated. We from Dubolsinho believe good literature
has to be intelligent, original, intriguing and creative. In other words: literature can
deal with any subject matter, but above all it has to be art. The good old art of being
well written and well enjoyed.

A cat went for a walk in the woods. When he got there he met… With a lot of
rhythm, rhyme, humor and surprises, Gato no Mato (Cat in the Woods) is a gem
in the usually battered segment of books for young readers who are learning to
decode words fluently. In an involving and original story, the book proves that
it is possible to work with simplicity without being too simple. The game is linked
to the illustrations – thus providing a combination of reading and analysis of
images – and to the universe of numbers, for fun activities with math.
Vivi is a smart magical girl. Her mother is a practical busy woman. Vivi trades
with her mom all the time. Some of the things she asks for are possible, others
impossible. Her mom pretends to yield to her. When the time to go to bed comes,
Vivi demands the most impossible thing of all. Once again Vivi’s mom says okay.
With lovely illustrations, this book is a permanent game of magical fun trades
between mother and daughter. An invitation to those with magical ideas,
especially children - small, medium and big children.

Like all children, young fairies have a long way to learn. Learn what is always new,
which at times may be hard and even dangerous. In Filhote de Fada (The Fairy’s
Kid), one learns how to fly, which is one of fairies’ essential features. Young
readers will gradually discover what is in store for ‘the little fairy’ in her first
attempts to fly. Short sentences in a concise text (sometimes with rhyme) and
lots of illustrations make this book especially suitable not only for children who
are learning to read, but also for children who are already involved in the
marvelous adventure of reading. The dialogs are rich, light and fun, quite
adequate to spark kids’ interest and curiosity.
Little children are smarter than you think. No wonder doting moms and dads say
that about their offspring all the time. The truth is, they’re quite right: kids are
really very smart. This book shows how children act, react and interact. Young
kids will certainly see themselves in every little dialogue. Older kids will find them
funny and will remember the time when they were just like that. Teenagers will
miss the simple days of their childhood – when they were naturally clever. What
about grown-ups then? Oh, those will have a lot of fun, too. So this is a book to be
enjoyed and savored by readers of all ages.

The King of Birds consists of smooth, magical prose, and is based on a 12th century
Persian poem, Mantiq-ut-Tair (Dialog of the Birds), which tells the birds’ dangerous
journey in search of their king. Their final discovery, impregnated with that symbolic
beauty which only Easterners are capable of expressing, is a metaphor whose
meaning young readers can easily understand, and can touch the hearts of people
of any age.Like in other books by Sebastião Nuvens, the visual element tells a story
of its own, and can render discussions about colors, textures, special effects, collage
and the use of computer technology as a working tool for plastic arts creation.

Felpo Filva is a famous poet, but also a lonely rabbit. Felpo has been this lonely
ever since he was a child, when his classmates mocked him because he had one
ear shorter than the other. Felpo could have been alone forever if it hadn’t been
for that day when he received a short letter from Charlô, a fan who disagreed with
the pessimistic and dramatic content of some of his poems. Offended by Charlô’s
very nerve, Felpo begins an exchange of correspondence in which the tone of the first
grumpy letters gradually becomes as sweet as Grandma Felpa’s chocolate cookies.

Trudi and Kiki had many other things in common. It turns out that there was also
a big difference between them: one was a witch, while the other was not. One
day, however, the girls’ paths crossed and off went the country girl to the scary
country of witches -- and the little witch came to the skeptical and amorphous
world of humans. Luckily, a series of coincidences made it all turn out alright. In
the end, it all led to the two girls becoming great friends.
Pedrinho wanted to fly. He hid himself away from everyone, studied wings a lot,
and began building a pair – so that one day he would take off towards the blue
sky. Joel was... a boy with problems. One of those kids from whom all the others
stole cards and sweets... Pedrinho thought him silly, his mother taught him that
he was exceptional. Reading this story, you’ll discover that friendship
is something so unexplainable, so magical and so strong, that it makes even

This story by Marcos Bagno is an ode dedicated to his deceased brother. It retells
the happenings of a life pervaded by simplicity and dignified by the close contact
with nature. The tragedy of death is faced in a sensitive way, with no drama, as a
learning and growth experience.
A strange sound haunts the people who live in the alleys of a countryside
town. Sometimes deafening, sometimes like moaning, either close by or far
away, but always frightening. What sound is that? Where does it come from?
When will peace prevail again? In search of answers, a boy sets off for an
adventure along which he will face the fear of the unknown and the dangers of
the night. This story is full of mystery; it was written with sensibility and holds a
surprising ending for the reader.

The boy had just finished his homework when his father stepped in, saying there was

possible as they were far away from the sea? It did not take long for them to head to
the city center in order to see the whale with their own eyes. With a good dose of
humor and great illustration by Nelson Cruz, “Visita à baleia” is a book you can’t stop

An anthology of sixty minimalist poems that stir up the reader´s imagination,
describing varied types of animals – both big and small - in an unusual way.
Alternatively employing rich rhymes and blank verses, the poems emphasize
the sonority and the rhythm of written language, interlacing harmoniously with
the images. The illustrations, result of a mixing of clippings, photographs and
digital art, create for each poem a different dimension, enabling another
experience for the reader.
With her lines, drawings, movement and colors, Angela-Lago creates images
that both cover and unveil surprising secrets in the narrative, inviting the reader
to explore their details. The aesthetic and the dimensional resources used to
depict the characters, showing their emotions, trickeries, rivalries and humor are
very appealing to the taste of the young readers.

In Street Scene, the art of painting is used to describe, brush by brush and
page by page, the daily life of a child working in the streets. The images speak for
themselves, awakening the reader´s awareness – rich in details, with vibrant colors,
movement and surprising angles, they stir up the imagination and allow for a
creative interpretation. Portrayed in an expressionist way, the story speaks to the
heart without the need of words, making this graphic production a work available
and open to the whole global community, a book to be explored with no hedges.
Using illustrations created with digital image processing software, Angela-Lago
was able to craft a dialogue between the classic and the contemporary. These
images, relating to the drawings typical of the medieval era, incorporate a new
hue, a pinch of enigma to the folkloric narrative. The richness brought by the
unusual elements of this work allows for a creative reading of the illustrations,
which, interweaved with the transitoriness of the text, contextualize and give
depth to the characters as the narrative unfolds. A beautiful book, which was
also awarded a prize for its exceptional editorial project.

Oscar, the architect of dreams
Authors: Neide Duarte and Mércia M. Leitão
Illustrator: Patrícia Lima
The narrator begins by introducing himself: “I’m a poet and minstrel, creator
of characters and romances of cordel (*)”. His story reveals a terrible mystery:
Veridiana, his fiddle, has disappeared, and now he cannot create his poems.
For some money, the gypsy Esmeralda unravels the truth behind this disappearance.
To recover his instrument, the minstrel must go there and face seven difficult tasks.
The challenges involve traditional characters and stories of cordel literature, filled
with action, humor and fantastic events. (* Literatura de cordel -string literature,
literally - is folk poetry which thrived in Brazil for most of the 20th century).
Oscar Niemeyer was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1907. Architect, designer,
sculptor and writer, he was considered one of the key figures in the
development of modern architecture. Among his most famous projects are
the government buildings of Brasilia, the planned city that became the
Brazilian capital in 1960. He died in 2012 at the age of 104. In this story, Oscar
is a boy who dreams of flying. One night, he meets a bird who wants to know
how it is to be a boy. This friendship inspires drawings that imitate flight, and
that, later, turn into buildings. The book reveals, in a poetic way, the creative
inspiration Oscar Niemeyer used to conceive his famous constructions.

in daily life elements to investigate the relationship between man and the universe.

Between Two Worlds is a book that deals with the contact between the European
culture and the Xavante people of Mato Grosso, located in the central region of
Brazil. The author’s writings translate into simple terms the Indians’ worldviews,
lifestyle, beliefs and their social relationships within their own community. At the
center of the story are the experiences of a boy inserted into a white cosmopolitan
society, returning to his surroundings to fulfil the role of a true cultural intermediary.
Illustrated with motifs, patterns and drawings produced by Xavante children, the
book also highlights how they relate to nature and history.
The Alienist is one of the most famous works by Machado de Assis. Published in
1882, it tells the story of Simon Bacamarte, a doctor obsessed with identifying the
criteria that separate normalcy from madness.Set in the town of Itaguaí in Rio de
Janeiro, in the hospital for the “alienated”, run by Simon Bacamarte, all those
who do not fit within the range of normalcy arbitrarily established by him are
hospitalized. Through a sarcastic sense of humor, Machado de Assis presents a
biting critique of late 19th century scientism, which often implanted concepts in
the social sciences and human psychology that were not yet well-rooted within
their original scientific disciplines.

The legend of the lily pad has been told for generations by the Guarani people, who
lived on the banks of the Paraná River. The story of the warrior Pitá and his beloved
Moroti is slightly different from the Amazonian legend (in which the lily pad is born
from the drowning of an Indian woman in love with the moon who, according to
indigenous beliefs, is a warrior named Jaci). In the cordel version told by Marco
Haurélio and illustrated by Veruschka Guerra, Pitá is a famous warrior who throws
himself into the Paraná River upon Moroti’s challenge. In its depths he becomes
enslaved by a horrible sorceress. Repentant, Moroti goes in search of him.

when one of the sheep gets stuck on the fence. Abandoned by the others,
who does the sheep see emerging from behind a tree? None other than the
wolf. The sleeping girl’s expression, which until then was peaceful, now
becomes troubled. What is going to happen? It’s a mystery...

The Emperor’s New Clothes is one of the best known tales from the Danish writer
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875), who is rightly considered the Father of
Children’s Literature. First published in 1837, this story is a prime example of the
critique of hypocrisy being highlighted through humor. The plot tells of an emperor
whose vanity is so extreme that he is taken for a fool, and ends up being cheated by
two swindlers. In exchange for riches, the swindlers guarantee to make the emperor
the most beautiful robe, warning him however, that it will be invisible to the
simpleminded.

Solano Trindade is one of the most important Brazilian poets of the 20th
century. Founder of the Brazilian Folkloric Theater, he has operated in a
broad spectrum of culture, from poetry to the fine arts, to a stint in theater
and manifestations of popular traditions. Black Chant collects poems that
highlight themes relative to African descent and the individual in eternal
confrontation with the social pressures resulting from discrimination. Thus, the
verses to the Orishas, to the woman he loves, to ritualistic dance and to work take on
characteristics of a rallying cry of resistance and freedom.

The fables told by Aesop have crossed the centuries – and even the millennia!
– without losing their contemporary content. They allow us to ponder about
the human being and understand the world we live in. Aesop, who lived as a
slave in Ancient Greece, ended up getting his freedom thanks to the stories
he used to tell. And they were not made up by him: plenty of them were found
in Egyptian papyruses, dated of almost a thousand years before. And we are
still surprised by the wisdom of such fables!

In an endangered forest lived an old vegetarian wolf. Sad and lonely, he was
suffering until the moment he got face-to-face with a hunter. He felt hallucinating
chills and shivers on his skin from the old days. But his killer instinct was old too

extreme emotions are captured by shades of black and white. Who is the man
and who is the wolf? Does it make any sense to ask this question?

Kawã is a little boy from the Maraguá tribe, in Brazil. He lives in a village on the
edge of the Abacaxis River, in the south of Amazonas. His highest dream is to
grow up fast and become a Great Hunter just like his dad, a skilled hunter and
fisherman. But first, he will have to prove his courage and go through three
tests over the next years: hunting a jaguar, a giant snake and a harpy eagle.
Surrounded by nature, Kawã embarks in this challenging adventure, facing
dangers and hardship to pursue his dream and earn the title of Great Hunter.
Five girls decide to play in the lake Mirror of The Moon, near the River Nhamunda,
in the Amazon. But they are not ordinary girls; they are little warriors, daughters of
the Amazons, from the legendary woman warrior tribes. A peaceful afternoon
turns into a new adventure when their tribe’s enemies show up suddenly, trying to
capture them. Action then begins, and the Amazons show why they are so
respected and known as fearless warriors. It is all fiction, based in a dream of the
Guarani author Yaguarê Yama, but it could very well have happened.

From generation to generation, the people from East Timor have enjoyed long
parties and dances, as well as telling and listening to stories that travel through
time. The tales collected in this book tell a few of these stories. Some of them
originated in the island. Others were heard from Portuguese, Indonesian,
Chinese, and other people who visited or lived there, and ended up acquiring the
colors of the land. The Timorese storyteller receives a very special name, Lia Nai,
which means Lord of the Word – word that enchants and gathers children,
making their eyes glitter with joy in the Land of The Rising Sun.

The indigenous people have always liked stories. At night, around the fire, wise man
passed on their knowledge orally. In the past, it was the non-indigenous people who
would write the stories they heard from the indigenous people. Now, the indigenous
people write and tell their own stories. Guarani Tales collects seven traditional tales
from this people, written by indigenous authors, each one bringing in a bit of the
Guarani’s culture and language. They tell why it is hard to hunt the King Vulture;
where the Sun and the Moon come from; why frogs are so loud at night; how a brave
boy set limits to the Sun, among other things.

Saudade

Illustrators: Zélio Alves Pinto

This book about saudade – a word that only exists in Portuguese – subtly
approaches the meaning and finitude of life. It leads to reflections on the
value of relationships, on loss and grief, becoming a must-read for the whole
family. The book points out: someone who feels saudade is never alone,
because saudade has nothing to do with loneliness. Quite the contrary. Life is
a big jigsaw puzzle and in the course of our story we build up saudade from
everything that was important and left its mark on us. In the meantime, as we
fit more pieces into life jigsaw, we gradually cease to feel saudade. Until it is
complete. Then, we stop feeling and start spreading saudade.

Angelino is a guardian angel, but he is very absent-minded. No matter how hard
he tries, he cannot be watchful at all times to avoid problems. Therefore, adults
and children must always be cautious. The good news is that 90% of the problems
can be prevented with quite simple measures. In this helpful book, you will follow
the Silva family at Annie’s first day at school and all the risks and adventures of
Angelino, the absent-minded little angel. The message that remains is that one
cannot rely only on the guardian angel – adults must learn how to prevent
accidents and teach the children to protect themselves from an early age.

The poems in this book, written by one of the greatest poets in Portuguese
language, recreate the distressed and at the same time hopeful days at the end
of the 1780s, when a group of Brazilian intellectuals tried to free their country from
Portuguese domination, causing a great disaster on their own lives. Cecilia
Meireles used the Iberian technique of popular romances and was very attentive
to the Minas Conspiracy’s documents, letters, testaments, as well as paintings,
songs, and Aleijadinho’s statues of prophets, making this a classic work of
Brazilian literature, about one of the most important moments in Brazilian history.
Luis da Camara Cascudo was one of the greatest experts in the popular roots of
Brazilian culture. In this book, the most important in his extensive work, he reveals
the relationship between folklore and society, culture and development of the
multiple Brazilian identities. Cascudo examines in details the festivities, food,
dances, legends, tales and other cultural references of the people he loved and
researched about so much. This great folklorist gives us a precious inventory of
these creations by discoursing skillfully, in a delightful language, about the origins
and variations found throughout the Brazilian territory.

Lullabies, songs, rhymes, tongue twisters and folklore divinations are expression
forms very close to the children’s world and have suggestive, creative and ludic
aesthetic effects. In the book When it’s this it’s not that, Cecilia Meireles uses
these resources, playing with words, exploring the sonority, rhythm, rhymes,
repetitions and musicality. The Author also brings back the children’s universe,
permeated by unpredictable questions, monologues, surprising situations,
uncommon comparisons, presence of fantasy and imagination. This book
holds a prominent place in Brazilian juvenile literature.
The sociologist Gilberto Freyre is the author of Casa-grande & senzala, published
in 1933, always considered an indispensable book to understand the formation
of Brazilian society. In Maybe some Poetry, we see an unfamiliar side of this great
writer: his incursion into the poetical genre. Here, we can enjoy Freyre’s poetical
attempts and exuberant writing style, already well known by means of his essays
about Brazil. In this book, we can pinpoint the poems “Bahia de Todos os Santos
e de quase todos os pecados” and “O outro Brasil que vem aí”.

escaped from a circus wander around the pages of this book by Monteiro Lobato,
first launched in 1933. In this story, Pedrinho leads the hunting of an ocelot that
lurks in the bamboo woods near the Yellow Woodpecker Ranch. As the head of
the expedition formed by Narizinho, Emília, the pig Tailless and the Viscount of
Corncob, he follows the footprints of the beast and, with courage and a bit of fear,
causes a massive mess among the wild animals.
In this book, first released in 1921, Dona Benta’s grandson spends his holidays in
his favorite place. The Yellow Woodpecker Ranch has a spacious house, complete
with windows facing the garden. In the back lies an orchard full of fruit-laden trees,
where birds build nests of sticks or clay. There are butterflies, fish swimming in a
stream and talking animals. A curious boy like Pedrinho could spend a lifetime
in a place like this. But this time he wants to find out everything about the Saci,
a one-legged fantastic creature, and embarks on a breathtaking adventure.

In this book you’ll find a collection of the most popular Brazilian legends. Saci,
Mula Sem Cabeça, Curupira, Lobisomem (the werewolf), Iara (the mermaid),
Pink Boto, and many others. The most attractive feature to readers is that these
legends are all graciously represented by members of Monica’s Gang, which
was created by Mauricio de Sousa. This artwork even comes with a CD in which
Mauricio himself narrates each one of the stories. The folklore and legends have
also been individually released in different editions.
From 1977 to 1982, Pelé, the most famous soccer player of all time, was also
a character in the comic book world through Mauricio de Sousa’s ‘Pelezinho’
comic. In 2012, the title came back, re-launching the older stories. Other famous
soccer stars have come to be represented in Mauricio’s stories; Ronaldinho

It’s not easy to find children that have never heard of the classic tales from
Andersen, the brothers Grimm and Perrault. Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella,
Snow-White, The Ugly Duckling, Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty and other
stories are artfully “interpreted” through Mauricio de Sousa’s characters. In 2012,
this artwork won the Bing Xin Literature Prize for Children’s Work in China. These
works have also been launched separately.
Since 1970, the comic book Monica has passed through the editors Abril, Globo,
and Panini. This has become one of the longest running comic in Brazil (there are
more than 500 editions), with continued excellent sales. The character is such a
success that she has become an ambassador for UNICEF (she is the only
character to have such an honor), for Culture and Tourism in Brazil. Her comic
book is also published in English and Spanish.

of his stories so that Mauricio de Sousa could illustrate them using characters

audience. In a recent research done in Brazil, the two authors have been cited as
being in the top ten most admired writers in the country

In 1981, many Brazilians were dazzled for a new country, with more freedom and
progressive. It was in this field that Mazza Publisher dared to born. It came influenced
by the Black Moviment, where first was a seed, to grow up, later, feed by the dream to
tell more stories, or races, men, women and children, daring other words.
One of the first publishers to be opened in Brazil, Mazza Publisher had the honor
and privilege to release reflections, that contributed precisely to a political debate:
the inclusion of Afro-American issues and subjects in schools and laws that could
make the way of black people easier to the universities and education.

Everything happens in a short bus route in Belo Horizonte. The girl, Gabriela,
is by a seat in the bus while her brother and the mom stay on another seat.
In some minutes, Gabriela “scans” the world to the ransom of its charms: she is
the Daomé Princess because her father, a German photographer, saw in the
mother the unmistakable presence of a queen. Between her heroes, she is
princess; her two years old brother is a warrior who overcame trough a serious
sickness. Pedro got healed because he has learned to face the fear with the help
of the African ancestors. But these excerpts are only samples of Gabriela’s
eloquence. In that great story, there’s much more to read.

Rapunzel born in Bahia – a beautiful black girl that came into the world with long
and non-stop growing hair. Rapunzel also used to draw everybody’s attention
because she was a nice singer – and Brazilians appreciate that very much.
These attributes caused the greed of Quibungo, a monster with a hole in his
back. Quibungo kidnaped the girl and put her apart of the world, holding
her in a bamboo tower, on top of a Chestnut Tree. There, she would sing only for
him. But one day her songs echoed where Prince Dakarai was passing. Her face
overfilled the Prince’s heart with love. As the story shows, the Brazilian Prince will
plan a way to rescue the love of his life.
The World of the Coloured People tells the story of two boys that live a childhood
full of friendship and fun. Together since they were born, they are so close that
they were seen as brothers. They lived happily like this until the difference
between them was forced upon them.
One is black, the other is white. After a process of self-recognition and understanding
though they could again live according to that what really matters. Overcoming the
differences between them, the two boys were together again, just as they always had
before. This also showed the way to change our whole society.

nor Yellow’s intense light, nor the peace
transmitted by Sky Blue. Everything in the world
had its color: Blue or Rose, Green, Purple or
Violet. But nothing was Flicts… so he decided to
disappear. Flicts was Ziraldo’s first children’s

the hearts of children, adolescents and adults

Books are made up of words and pictures. And words are made up of letters. The
pictures in this book are also made up of letters, which interact with pictures and turn
themselves into fascinating illustrations. The poems don’t save on nonsense and
humor, generating double meanings that prompt readers to use their intelligence
and make them create hypotheses and recreate what is implicit between the lines.
A boy lets his hair grow, and grow, and grow, without ever having it cut. And so
his brow, his eyes, his mouth, his head, and then his entire body come to
disappear, so much so that no one is able to locate him at school – and so
much so that his own father can’t remember the boy’s face anymore.
This is a moving, fantastic story by award-winning author Fabrício Carpinejar on
the differences between introversion and shyness in childhood.

fingers in your hand; a cube has 6 sides, and the wonders of the ancient world
were 7. Spiders have 8 legs, and you spent 9 months in your mother’s womb…
What about the zero? Have you ever wondered if he is important?
Zizinho lives in a community where everyone descends from quilombolas,
Afro-Brazilian slaves who escaped from plantations centuries ago. He is
inquisitive and doesn’t understand why the place where he lives receives so
many visitors from other Brazilian states, and even other countries. Zizinho is a
tireless asker of questions about the world around him. Looking for answers, he
goes to the house of a female teacher that understands the boy’s curiosity. She
gives him a challenge: helping her to retrieve their community’s traditions, which
are so admired by outsiders and which have been quite forgotten by locals.
Zizinho embraces the cause without hesitation, becoming one of the leaders of
the community.

In City Trees, Rubens Matuck celebrates the trees, those creatures that, free
of charge, offer abode, food, and respite for other living beings. Many are the
trees that have been chosen for this book: from hardy, tough species such as
Brazilian ironwood to traditional magnolia, through remarkable jequitibá,
elegant purple glory tree, and gorgeous flowering sapucaia – and let us not
forget brazilwood and other smaller species. Flowers and fruits are always
highlighted in the text, watercolors and photos. Here, from January to
December, we see many colors and an information parade whose aim
seems to be to captivate children so that they can befriend those beings.

Oshun
Author and Illustrator: Edsoleda Santos.
Once upon a time there was a smart little biracial kid born in the Pelourinho district
of Salvador, Bahia. After playing and fighting in the street, he became the greatest
of all Capoeira Angola masters in Bahia. The name of this boy became a legend
around the world, but the story of Mestre Pastinha is real and is recounted blow-byblow in this book. In 2012, this book was a finalist in the children’s category for the
Jabuti Prize, one of the most important literary awards in Brazil.
Oshun represents the cosmological forces of fresh water and is therefore
responsible for nourishing all living beings. For this reason, as the elders use
to say, water has no enemies. She is directly linked to fertility and maternity.
The patron of love and beauty, she wields the most dangerous secrets of magic
and spells. Feminine and temperamental, Oshun reigns supreme in Bahia’s
universe. This legend, collected and published by the ethnologist Pierre Verger,
known for his in-depth knowledge of the African diaspora in the Americas, is still
alive in Africa, in the annual festivals celebrating the pact between King Laro and
the fertile waters of the Oshun River.

“What is a depression? A contemporary social symptom, so claims the most
influential psychoanalyst from Brazil. Maria Rita Kehl presents an in-depth
analysis of depressions, a topic that is often discussed but little understood.
Her analysis – that includes among other topics the symbolic dimension of this
social symptom, from Classical Antiquity to Freud – is enriched by cases that
come from her experience as a therapist. Straightforward and profound at the
same time, will be of interest to those involved with psychoanalysis as well as
anyone who wants to understand how social mechanisms influence the human
subjectivity. 2010 Book of the Year in Brazil (Prêmio Jabuti).”
Latinoamericana is the ultimate reference work on Latin America and the
Caribbean, offering an insider’s view on political, social, economic, environmental,
artistical and cultural processes, with contributions by over 100 authors from 20
countries. The encyclopedia contains thematic essays, photos, maps and tables
on the countries and territories that are part of the continent, as well as biographies
of its leading personalities and entries on educational, ethnic, mediatic, scientific,
technological and sporting phenomena that give it its own identity. Jabuti Award
Winner (Prêmio Jabuti) - Best Nonfiction Book – Brazil, 2007.
Critique of the Dualistic Reason, originally published in 1972, has changed
people’s understanding about Brazilian economy. Written by Francisco de
Oliveira, one of the most important sociologists in Brazil, the essay was updated
in 2003 with The Platypus, a reference to the strange mammal that is perhaps
the best representation of today’s Brazil: a bizarre combination of highly
developed industries and an enormous financial sector, but nonetheless with feet
of clay. Along with Oliveira’s essays, Roberto Schwarz’s preface represents a true
invitation to see the world beyond the strict pragmatism of modern times. Jabuti

deeper understanding of the State and politics, required by the urgency of
the current situation, is only possible through an analysis of their structural,
historical, dynamical and contradictory position in the whole context of
social reproduction. With the perspective of totality, Mascaro creates the
basis for an emancipatory project in which the political form can only be
understood as a derivation of the commodity form, established in capitalism.

Under The Deeply Grey Sky
Author: Tom Correia
What is Brazil? What is it to be Brazilian? This book presents the most complete
study ever conducted on the self-belittling tradition of Brazil’s history: from the
clash with the Indians, to the overestimation of European immigrants, as well as
the myth of exacerbated sexuality. Written in literary language, the book destroys
false myths such as Tiradentes and shows, amongst other aspects of Brazil’s
history, the origin of such disaffection by its innates.
In journalist César Elieser’s opinion, the characters of Tom Correia are subject to
the worst of fates. They are not destined for good lives, but instead doomed to
failure with no chance of redemption. They are humiliated and offended by a
society that only has eyes for success, and excludes most individuals from the
processes of production and consumption, leaving them only the crumbs of life.
For the past 15 years Tom Correia has been writing tales in a concise and firm
style. He is a master of his own domain.

Meet the Old Deaf Man. If you pay him some attention, he will continue to nag you
long after. Perhaps he is not completely deaf. Maybe his presumed lack of
hearing results from a more intimate turbulence. Deaf or pretender, he has his
ears open to life. The Deaf Old Man reads and thinks in his own way. He is
capable of philosophical insights. But, for him, unfortunately, the problem is not
his clogged ears, but an innate and literary wisdom that hinders the eagerness of
communication. He wants to hear and to be heard. However, the world is closed
and people are evil and strange to him.
In Mills, a man and his son struggle foolishly to earn the money that they need to
survive. At the end of the adventure, the boy discovers that he will need to react in
order to save himself from the same fate that has befallen his father. In the
second story, The Ritual in the Garden, structured without constraints and using a
free timeline, three children advance through dramas and games into adulthood,
in a fictional interpretation of Rio de Janeiro at the time of the Second World War.

82: the magical game is a collection of 15 short stories relating to the 1982
World Cup and a particular match, Brazil’s 3-2 defeat to Italy. The 1982 World
Cup was the last one in which Brazil truly captured the public’s imagination,
with several of the best players Brazil has ever produced peaking at the same
time. Yet they did not win a thing, not a single international trophy of any
relevance. In fifteen short stories, fifteen Brazilian authors present their visions
of that fateful day, our Sarriaço, comparable to the 1950 World Cup final defeat,
the Maracanaço. The range of memories and consequences is reflected here,
in literary terms, in all their richness and colors.

In the late sixties, Rivoli, who is from Brazil, and Tortoni, from Argentina, meet and
become friends on a trip to Patagonia. Years later, their paths cross again in one
of the most turbulent moments of Latin America’s political history. Francesco,
Tortoni’s son, needs to leave Argentina to escape from the military dictatorship,
and Rivoli’s family helps him. In his first novel, the journalist and musician Cadão
Volpato constructs a captivating story about youth, memory and friendship.
From the award-winning author of The maker of elders, published in French and
Spanish, The View from Rio creates a sophisticated narrative, fragmented in three
different moments in time. The book chronicles the friendship of Marco Aurélio and
Virgílio, from their childhood to maturity, in Rio de Janeiro. The imposing building
Estrela de Ipanema, a milestone of modernist architecture in the city, is the setting for
this story and points to the contradictions of the city, one of the themes that comes
through in the narrative along with the drama experienced by the characters.

PhD film critic Ismail Xavier analyzes eight Brazilian movies produced between
1967 and 1970, using the concept of “allegory” to discuss fundamental issues of
the late sixties in Brazil, such as underdevelopment, social types, class struggle,
the dictatorship, and the way such feature films offered reflections on the theme
of national identity. The analysis is based on the works of important names of
Brazilian cinema, such as Glauber Rocha, Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Rogério
Sganzerla and Júlio Bressane, among others.

In the series Among Hills, Claudia Jaguaribe uses photographs to explore the tension
between human beings, the urban space and nature. The artist shows a peculiar
perspective of Rio de Janeiro. Compiling only pieces of pictures that are in focus, the
artist creates images that take away any sense of depth, generating estrangement in
the viewer. With her manipulation of images, Jaguaribe also builds spaces that could
exist, but do not. There is a fine line between verisimilitude and improbability, where
the artist shows how man interferes in his environment. The book assembles all the
works from the series and includes three essays especially written for this edition.

In the short stories book “The sky is mine” some of the stories deal with daily
situations and in some others, the author creates an oneiric world of great delicacy.
The characters want to be aside from the normality of a society that asks for
participation and receptivity. They are people who beg for a time free from
obligations, for the sake of keeping their individualities and differences. Everybody
fights, without apparent weapons, for the possibility of keeping an individual and
unique soul. Many stories show people who had faced some situation either of loss
or privation. Nevertheless, there are overturns where the strength of mind of the
human spirit becomes the fuel to the emergence of the texts.

One Thing at a Time is a network of stories and characters that go from dream to
laughter, from anguish to the unlikely. The characters live by their routines,
events, kinships and friendship. Each character follows the mantra one thing at a
time, as a renewing sense for the frailty of life. This movement- involving balance,
dreams, promises, anguish - is fragile: it does not sustain itself as it is. The frailty
perpasses life and appears beside the incommunicability and the difficulty of
reaching the others easily. All of this is moved by the orientation of one thing at a
time, which makes the past unpredictable. Told in low voice, the stories of One
Thing at a Time ask for a close and deep-felt reading.

Excellent graphic production, with more than 400 pictures and illustrations, this title
presents Fashion History through clothes and composes an evolutionary visual panel
of aesthetic, behavioral and fashion creation movements experienced in Brazil.
All fashion movements occurred along more than a century, from the times when
new collections from Paris were merely reproduced or adapted to local high
fashion creation, going through the beginning of Brazilian prêt-à-porter, fashion
groups from the 80’s to the consolidation of the Fashion Weeks – as São Paulo
Fashion Week and Fashion Rio.

We live in an “obesogenic” society, in which several external factors become
endocrine disruptors, causing diseases, including obesity. Why is it so hard to
lose weight after we get fat? This is one of the aspects addressed in this book. In
a simple and comprehensive way, the author touches on controversial and
neuralgic points, in order to show that some foods regarded as essential to our
nourishment may be “inflaming” us when eaten frequently and daily. The author
talks also about subclinical malnutrition, which may be responsible for several
diseases, including the difficulty to lose weight. Those who long for global health,
that is, physical, emotional and spiritual, simply cannot miss this book.
Henrique de Lima Vaz is one of the most important Brazilian philosophers of the
twentieth century. This book introduces the doctoral thesis presented to the
Philosophy College of the Pontifical Gregorian University of Rome under the
guidance of Fr. Réné Arnou, SJ, defended on January 29, 1953. According to what
Father Vaz attests in his Bio-Bibliography, this “reading exercise”, opposing the
thesis of the great dominican Hellenist André-Jean Festugière (1898-1982), in the
classic work of 1936, Contemplation and Contemplative Life according to Plato,
aimed to emphasize the intellectualist character of Platonic contemplation.

What if time were an ally of human beings in their journey? What if the golden
age were now? What if the future had a history? Vieira warrants: the knowledge
of the future is given to us. Probably in a baffling way, because it is the reading of
the relationship with God and with his Word that is at stake. A future to be
remembered: incongruity or an opportunity for the twenty-first century Christian?
Letting oneself be pulled off a deceptive vision of the present in order to give it
theological density is what this seventeenth century man proposed.

In the ecological paradigm perspective, the systemic presuppositions with which
the human being integrates in the vital processes and cycles enrich the
interpretation of reality. The reading of the space as territory emphasizes the
human participation in the meaning of material forms, pointing out the social
dimension of the geographic environment. In the light of Creation, according to the
integrated and relational view of Christian Faith, the human being is also nature.
These three ways of facing reality, placed in dialogue, show the importance of
interdisciplinary work to develop a framework for socioenvironmental ethics in
which different fields of knowledge are encouraged to seek ways of cooperation in
order to understand and plan transforming actions.

(Germany), brought them to South America and encouraged many of his
colleagues to join the movement of concrete art. He cultivated contacts with the
European artistic avant-garde and, in Brazil, was a pioneer in developing and
experiencing new trends such as pop art and happening. This book presents an
overview of his life and work, chronologically arranged and covering all aspects

In the first decade of the 21st century, the line of thought and production
in photography were altered by the development of digital cameras, the
circulation of images through the Internet and post-production software. At the
same time, photography reached a whole new status when it gained more and
more space in important art exhibits and in the market of art around the world.
Our anthropophagic culture appeared as a powerful process to generate a
vibrant photography, which began to be researched and publicized by curators
and institutes all around the world. This reference book presents 52 Brazilians
exponents in this field.

book is illustrated with drawings and notes by the architect, technical projects, texts
and photos, and a vast material on the activities held there throughout the years.

projects that address subjectivity and stimulate us to reflect on the mechanisms
of exclusion present in our cultural framework.

From an observation of the reevaluation of the Real in Contemporary Art, the
author restricts herself to an area of figurative painting that she defines as
Architectural Realism. Zalinda Cartaxo develops her analysis comparing the
works of two painters —the Brazilian Adriana Varejão, and the Portuguese José
Lourenço. Adriana Varejão, in her series Saunas e Banhos (Saunas and Baths),
presents a style of painting that privileges interior and intimate spaces.
Antagonically, José Lourenço shows the façades that emphasize exteriority,
in the collective. They both resort to using the artifice of the vanishing point
perspective as a strategy to affirm the subject in the world.
Belo Horizonte, mid 20th century. Traditional Catholic middleclass. A time of large
families with children, relatives, and friends gathered around. A time of perfumed
white bed sheets, kept in locked drawers. This is Maria Christina Monteiro de
Castro’s Proustian journey, her first book, mixing fiction and reality. It’s a late
debut novel from a 70-year-old woman, who, in a style loaded with powerful
phrasing, reveals a profounder Brazil located between utopia and repression, a
revolution of customs and family traditions. Over a period of more than thirty
years, this novel covers disturbances, ruptures and unimaginably painful losses.

In its five years of existence, Apicuri has published both fiction and non-fiction,
and has brought to light reflections, essays and dissertations by Brazilian authors
and researchers in the field of Humanities, Social Sciences, Arts and International
Relations. This initiative amplifies the exchange between academy and the larger
public in these areas, while proportioning access to diversified materials for
readers to debate and contemplate. Additionally, Apicuri seeks to offer its readers
high quality books, by young and renowned authors, in its fiction imprint.
There are those who speak of books without ever having read them; those who
speak of trips without ever having made them. The lie nourishes human relations,
and it is not different for the protagonist of this intriguing debut novel: Annette is a
stubborn fugitive. She travels to escape herself — without ever leaving her desk
at a travel agency. New York, Paris, Rome, no matter where. She invents and
convinces that she has visited countless places, plausible and imaginable,
providing operational and touristic detail for her clients to rest assured. A nomad
of the imagination, she will see her façade crumble with the arrival of an
unexpected client who wishes to go to Japan

When sexual drive sidesteps the simplicity of contemplation and by force alone is
driven to cruise certain labyrinths, what results is a collection of short stories by
Rodrigo Novaes de Almeida. In decisive, and often direct, visceral and acidic
narratives, as if his intention was to blindside the unwariest readers, this new
generation storyteller leaves no room for reverie or cheap illusions. His
characters know as little of their imprecise trajectories as any self-respecting
mortal. On this journey, we are merely guests, invited to put in check our empty
convictions and shake up any purportedly moralistic framework we might hold.

grotesque and epic at the same time, we feel admiration and compassion for
him and he seems to correspond to subterraneous impulse, buried in the deepest
layers of the Brazilian collective blood. The book O Major Façanha is part of the
Trilogy of Maximiano Campos and the Project Low Price Books of the Ministry of
Culture, in partnership with the National Library Foundation.
The book takes a perspective on the situation of the Brazilian Creative Economy.
Culture, innovation, technology and development are the themes that permeate
this literary work. The book progresses among themes tangent to the main one,
such as the Cultural BRIC, Creative Economy’s relationship with the law, showing
successful examples of Pernambuco and national sectors that have invested,
innovated and agreed on creativity. The book encourages reflection and debate
on the urgent need to innovate and create new concepts and aspects in areas of
Brazil, equating them thus to a global level.

in the Brazilian Sertão. This book is part of the Trilogy of Maximiano Campos and
the Project Low Price Books of the Ministry of Culture, in partnership with the

Ethnic, cultural and religious distances come urging major conflicts around the
world and bring uneasiness about the future of humanity. The inability to accept
the differences puts on the agenda the issue of intolerance among populations,
countries and civilizations. The author makes an approach to building a more
tolerant world, with concrete actions and positions.

The crisis of values. The environmental crisis. These and other major parallel
themes are scenarios to which the writer Antonio Campos makes reference in
this book. The theme that underlies this collection of articles is something shared
by almost all influential currents of thought in our century. We live in a new era of
uncertainties among many others that permeate the contemporary history of
humanity and the people: a crisis of values in number and considerable
extensions. The society has become more open and plural, more intercultural,
better assuming the differences. The struggles have changed, the way to claim
too, but what should not change is the rebellious spirit of resistance.

Jealousy – The Fear of Loss broaches ways to understand and control this
contradictory – and sometimes destructive - feeling, transforming it into positivity

unhealthy depths, even affecting one’s mental health. In a sensitive, clear and
engaging way, Eduardo Ferreira-Santos makes this book a true contribution to
the better understanding of jealousy’s multi-faceted nature and an effective tool
for achieving a fuller, more loving life together, free of distrust.

coerced into marrying his half-sister. After some time enjoying life in Paris
during the Belle Époque, he returns to Brazil, where he dies in a bar brawl. Then,
he discovers that life continues after death. Devoid of a physical body, but
feeling just as before, the bon vivant will have many adventures, eventually
allowing himself to be promoted to a spiritual colony. There, he will evolve,
discover life’s meaning and, in his own way, seek to repair past evils. A
controversial novel – spicy, curious, and somewhat romantic – and an

The war of independence between the Netherlands and Spain had already been
dragging on for fifty years. The Dutch admiral Piet Heyn had seized some Spanish
galleons carrying silver from Peru, yielding huge profits for the West India

Zuikerland, the ‘Sugar Land’. The battle for the city lasted only one day; but
outside the city’s walls, the guerrilla war led by the brother of the Count of
Pernambuco dragged on for five years. The story draws on the detailed real-life
diary of a young German soldier serving with the WIC in Brazil, enabling this
historical novel to be a classic of the genre.

In The Black Flame of Joy, the narrative is constructed from deep dives into memories,
where no longer the narrator, but the individual himself emerges flooded by poetic
language. With any distance between the narrator and reader eliminated, the
nuances of feelings and experiences are communicated from one to another instantly
by virtue of the most powerful employment of the word - another name for poetry.
Bewitched by language in its magical dimension, the reader is taken from their
comfort zone and drawn by the narration into a vertiginous vortex, from which
they will only emerge upon the last line of the book, wondering: “Is it romance?
Is it poetry?”
Mentioning 1968 is like mentioning a magic number: it always transports us back
to that timeless year, part of a crucial moment in history. 1968 – A Time of Choices
is a book that revisits that era, but is not limited to the story of a person becoming
immersed in the fight against the dictatorship in Brazil. It goes beyond the political
experience, making this an even more fascinating read. The way Catarina
Meloni presents her memories wins the reader over. Extending beyond political
recollections, there is an essential story within a story in the telling of her personal
memoir, and that of her family, her people, and her companions.

Despite having different backgrounds and experiences, readers will recognize in The
Smell of Chocolate and Other Stories places and moments of a world they know well,
which the author conveys with rare mastery. Through mutatis mutandis, he tells of
that which characterizes our universal existence: the struggle for survival, love,
heartbreak, the joy of achievement, the pain of loss, indifference, solidarity, solitude,
and the strength to carry on. It is said that literature is born of life, and that it brightens
life. That is definitely the case in books like this. We can visit its pages as children,
adolescents, adults, and in our twilight years: they speak to us all.
Ruy Espinheira Filho
This book serves as a guide when reading modern Brazilian popular music and
when interpreting the transformations poetry in Brazil underwent since the
Modernist movement in 1922. The author draws parallels between the parodist
aesthetics of Modernism and Noel Rosa’s samba, ponders the vainglorious
poetry and music of Vargas’s time, finds similarities between the samba song
and the Generation of ‘45’s bolero, reaffirms the parallels between bossa nova
and the vanguard musical movement, revisits the Tropicalia renaissance and
addresses the so-called “Marginal Poetry” that emerged in the 1970s.

The impressive journey of Victor Frankenstein is pictured through delicate and yet
powerful images to ensure the underlying themes that pervade the story are fully
captured: the contradictions between science and the mysteries of nature, the
longing for greatness in contrast with an uneventful domestic life, and the difficulties
in accepting those radically different from us. Selected episodes of the Portuguese
language classic Os Lusiadas, written by Camoes, are the source of inspiration
for the cartoonist Fido Nesti to write this book. The colorful exaggeration of his
drawings, with lines both bold and delicate, provides readers with an anthological
perspective of this Portuguese masterpiece – a fundamental example of how to adapt
two apparently irreconcilable formats. The creative script brings readers closer to the
world of Vasco da Gama in an elegant feast of originality.

Frederico Pernambucano is an expert on the subject of the Cangaço – an expression
of popular Brazilian irredentism. He immerses in the unfamiliar world of its material
culture, providing deep insight regarding the refinement and meaning of the few
authentic pieces worn by the cangaceiros (so-called social bandits), such as
Solomon’s shield, the Maltese cross, the fleur-de-lis, the figure eight, the Greek
sashes, the sublimated variations of local flora, and the many possible combinations
that the cangaceiro used to create a “uniform” that served both the ornamental
vanity of the fierce warrior and the easily understood yearning for mystical protection.

The horse was kept trapped in a cutout from a photograph inside Eduardo’s
closet. At night, the white horse would escape from the photo and gallop away,
ridden by the boy, running along rivers, across fields of sunflowers, and flying
through the clouds. When the last star disappeared from the night sky, Edward
would lead his steed by the hand and put him back into the picture. The book A
Horse for Eduardo, by Antonio Carlos Floriano, with delicate illustrations by Marcia
Cardinal, takes us back to the imagination of childhood and carries us to a world
where there are no limits on dreams.

Boldly uniting image and poetry, Brasil Retratos Poéticos 2 presents the work
of renowned Brazilian photographers and environmentalists. This edition has
Edson Sato, Fabio Colombini, Maurício Simonetti, Walter Firmo, and texts and poetry
by Raimundo Gadelha. In the words of Aziz Ab’Saber, Geographer and Professor
of the University of São Paulo, “the book presents an excellent and varied selection
of photos and records, backed by the most serene poems. All of the ‘portraits’
of the book are poetic”.
Historian Frederico Pernambucano de Mello shows us another important passage
in the history of Brazil, with the biography of Benjamin Abrahão, the private secretary
of Father Cicero (popular Brazilian saint), in 1917 - 1934, and authorized photographer
of outlaw Lampião, in mid-1936, who was responsible for the most complete
documentation of the cangaço, an expression of popular Brazilian irredentism.
The author presents a profound study, done over a 40-year period, publishing
unprecedented content from Benjamin Abrahão’s original field notebook, with
notes alternating Portuguese and Arabic, which contradicts current versions of
historical facts and figures, as well as deepens the knowledge on Brazilian social
thinking regarding highwaymen in the 1930s.

Gadelha excels as an action writer, both in the peculiar art of storytelling and in his
creative characterizations.”Poet João de Jesus Paes Loureiro begins his presentation
of the novel with a question: “Is there somewhere over the horizon for those who debase
love?” This is the big question that moves within the electrifying narrative of the
novel by Raimundo Gadelha. In simple and direct language, the work pictures beings
and things as in movie, in a peculiar manner, describing characters permeated with
solitude and freedom.

The author dwells upon international relations between Brazil and Africa and shows
that, in the beginning of the 21st century, a globalised Brazil coincides with a new
Africa. The book analyses the paths linking both sides of the South Atlantic – from a
past of African diaspora to new international connections in diplomacy,
entrepreneuring, cultures, societies and values. The author puts forth the conception
of Brazilian Atlantism, a Brazilian mode of building international relations with Africa
unlike that of the colonizers in the past or the Chinese interest in nowadays Africa.
Brazilian Atlantism, according to Sombra Saraiva, is carried out through cooperation,
material exchange and peace throughout the great Ocean that links Brazil to the
African Continent.

The “Manifesto of Pau-Brasil Poetry” was the starting point of the Brazilian
modernist movement. First published in the newspaper Correio da Manhã, in
1924, it brought to the literature and arts of the country a proposal for aesthetic
rediscovery and update that would permeate Modernism in Brazil as whole. With
cover art worked over the design of Tarsila do Amaral for the first edition of 1925,
Pau Brazil, reissued by Editora Globo, gathers various essays on the topic and is
considered a reference book to understand Brazilian modernist art and literature.

Written in Hilda Hilst’s highly distinctive prose, in which all narrative genres merge
and the widest variety of aesthetic resources is used, the obscene Madame D is
Hillé, who, after the death of her lover, retracts into the recess under the stairs to
talk “about this thing that does not exist, but is raw and alive, Time”. Teeming with
the themes that are dearest to the author -- helplessness, the human condition,
the rotting of the flesh, the troubled soul -- The Obscene Madame D is a lucid and
hypnotic search for the reasons of existence, where anything can happen, from a
stab in the back to a passionate kiss of love. As Madame D herself states: “Life has
been an obscene adventure for being so lucid”.

The late Brazilian psychiatrist and writer J. A. Gaiarsa (1920-2010) was a harsh
critic of the family and the social hypocrisy surrounding family values. To him, the
set of rules to which people obey from birth – rules that are passed on to children
even though parents themselves are a victim of the very rules they live by – serves
only one purpose: oppression. In this book, the author shows that love cannot be
restricted to certain restraints. As you read on, be prepared to challenge all of
your pre-conceived notions of loyalty, family ties, relationships, and happiness.

In this work, Nelson Luiz de Carvalho blends everyday elements with central
themes of passion and freedom to write a love story of universal appeal. As they
discover love, two young men understand that from now on they need to find the
right balance between their feelings and what their family and society expect of
them. This is the story of a forbidden love that wants to find its place in the world
and two persons in love who stand rise to the challenge of fighting for what they
believe in. Based on true events, this is a novel that defies labels and hypocrisy by
revealing the intricacies of emotion in the lives of ordinary young men faced with
the urges of the modern world.
In this book, Flávio Gikovate states that the union between man and woman is a
bond between opposites — that is, a selfish person is bewitched by a generous
person and the other way around. Yet this kind of relationship causes both
partners problems, for they will ultimately go through situations of sorrow and
disappointment. According to the author, investing in one’s own freedom and
individuality is the solution. This could bring about couples formed by fair people,
more mature to experience love. An English translation of this work is available.

Sousândrade’s inferno ambience, Chant X, has Guesa, a modern anthropological
source of poetical inspiration, as its symbol-character. On one hand, his role is
a structural one, organizing the poem. On the other hand, this axis-character
takes on a psychological role, since he is the medium for interpreting the reality
of the poet, of Maranhão, of Brazil and of the Americas. Specific to the Wall Street
episode, the image of Guesa takes on a self-defining character and Sousândrade

João Figueiras Lima, Lelé, is one of the most important names of the modern
movement of architecture. Though he is a disciple of Oscar Niemeyer, he
worked in the construction of Brasília, his style took off thanks to his own
methods and the characteristics of his work. He threw himself into the knowledge
of architectural issues related to industry and nation development, seeking
cost-effective solutions, without prejudice to plasticity. The book shows
projects, from the construction of urban equipment to serial schools, built
in armed mortar, as well as public hospitals, for which the furniture and
ventilation system were designed to eliminate the air conditioning usage.
This book, with Nelson Kon’s photo essay, highlights the unique plasticity of
drawings and designs made for the Ibirapuera Park by Oscar Niemeyer, the
biggest name in Brazilian architecture. It shows the passage of the drawing
on the drawing board to the building constructed, but with the Ibirapuera Park’s
project incomplete, Oscar Niemeyer, in protest, did not attend the opening of
his theater. This pendency is the object of this book, which gathers the testimonies
of Niemeyer himself and other exponents of Brazilian architecture and culture,
such as the architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha.

The book “Oficina de Agosto presents a brilliant Brazil” documents the inspiring, poetic,
and expressive history and work of this atelier and workshop-school, located in the
small village of Bichinho, in the state of Minas Gerais. Oficina de Agosto’s arts and
crafts work possesses rare singularity, beauty and creativity. Their social work with the
families from Bichinho and everyone whom the project reaches out is also of extreme
importance. The Oficina was born of the dream of the artist Antonio Carlos Beck, Toti,
and his sister Sonia Vitalino. They believed in the idea that wasted raw material could
be transformed into objects that could combine beauty, humor and creativity. And that
is what they have been doing for more than 20 years.

An autobiographical novel in which the creatures that played a fundamental
role in the author’s early childhood are transformed into characters. The book
captures, in an eminently lyric tone, Zezé’s children world. The boy, Zezé, lives
in the bosom of a very poor family, made up of an unemployed father, a working
mother and several brothers. Since the outside world is very harsh, the boy creates
a world in which he seeks refuge, and in which he confers a soul to animals and
trees, escaping through paths of the imagination and ludic inventiveness.
Since its release in 1968, the book has been successfully adapted to theater,
soap-opera and movie.
The Barnacle Goose
and other kitchen stories
Author: Breno Lerner
Illustrator: Domingos Takeshita
Breno Lerner gathered his chronicles and reflections written for his column,
“Kitchen Talk”, published in several newspapers and magazines since 2001. The
result is a huge conversation that goes from gastronomy, types of foods and what
goes around in the kitchen. What kind of goose is this barnacle, anyway? What
was served in the last dinner on Titanic? What did sailors use to eat in the Great
Navigations? When you start reading The Barnacle Goose, you’re not able to
stop. Isn’t that what they also say about eating? This is, doubtless, Breno Lerner’s
goal: to serve his chronicles as a perfect meal.

The author researched the time Van Gogh spent in Arles, south of France, to write
a novel for young readers. In this fiction, an attentive, intrigued and fascinated
eye follows the painter: it belongs to Camille Roulin, the postman’s eleven-yearold son, whose family became close friends with Van Gogh. Perhaps only Camille
could have perceived that, in his paintings, Van Gogh created for himself the only
world where he could find love and peace. Luiz Antonio Aguiar is one of Brazil’s
most important writers of Literature for Young Readers.

Being the biggest producer of coffee in the world, Brazil lacked a good book about
it. Chefs’ Café came as an answer to that. History, legends, types, terroirs, ways
of brewing, ways of drinking, most important coffee machines and drinks and,
as in all books from the Chefs series, 97 recipes from 28 very famous chefs from
Brazil and over the world. From the traditional tiramisù to the unexpected dakota
brot, from foie gras with coffee and açaí sauce to Verrine of passion fruit, the most

Stalking means furtively and pursuingly approaching and has come up in USA
through the criminal typification of such an activity, as it is done with hunting. In
Brazil there are lots of victims, and this novel, which takes place on the famous
beaches of Rio de Janeiro and the bohemian Copacabana, based on real facts,
has been idealized from a true event: a middle class man. At age 49, he meets his
ex-girlfriend once again, and his life turns into a hunting, in which he is the tusk.
Identities have been kept secret. Both are alive and live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
As a creative answer to a difficult period of his life, Felipe Bittencourt has invented a
daily performance project and he has published them at his Flickr during the exact
period of a year. As photograms of his days, each proposal enables us to observe
the state of mind of the artist who calls himself as “the performer”. Sometimes
the proposals are comic, others are sad and melancholic, in an alternation of
humours which makes us realize that the tiny world of this cartoon character
comprehends more than artistic ideas thrown to the wind.

Luís Antônio Gabriela
Author: Nelson Baskerville
Illustrator: Thiago Hattnher
Impossible to classify in a single genre, the book is based on the bricolage of
various forms of narratives to capture the sense and the resentment of our times
in a way that just a select group of authors has already done. The plot synthetizes
the misadventures of a certain civilization – which happens to be ours – through
typical characteres who face situations which aggregate the strength, intensity
and aggressiveness of an atomic explosion. In an epoche in which it seems to
predominate the psychopathy of people who know no limits, an irremediable
narcissism, an easy, dilated and limitless pleasure, The Gospel according to
Talion is an essential and healthy exercise.
Nelson Baskerville, Brazilian director and dramatist, tells the saga of his brother,
Luís Antônio, the eldest of a six children family that, with the second marriage of
the father, gained three more “sisters”, daughters of the step mother. In the time
of Brazilian military dictatorship, the boy, who since his first years had never
hidden his homosexuality, was beaten by his father in order to be cured. Obviously,
he soon gained the street, and jumping to marginality was his only choice. With
silicon applications he became a shemale, and as Gabriela, he goes to Spain,
country in which she becomes a night star.

searching is more important than finding and that living a good story can be as

Colors are the first thing that the eyes of a child are able to distinguish. One of the
strongest experience of visual interaction with the world around it, and even before
knowing its names, they are already there giving name to the sky, to the sun, to
the animals and toys. Once children learn to give the name of colors to things,
they jump to the next level, when things have meanings. But what could happen
if one of these children loses the capacity of recognizing these colors? What meaning
could this world have, ready to be colored again?In the book “The girl who loses the
colors”, the journalist and writer Marcelo Moutinho tells us about a girl that, out of the
blue, sees the world without colors. Everything becomes a boring frame in frightening
shadows of gray, black and white.

not falling short of informing and entertaining readers of all ages with descriptions
of the different types of flags, their parts, patterns, and terminology as the most

The perfect read-aloud books, nursery rhymes and tongue twisters hold in their verses
the essence of playfulness, silliness, and innocence: “Mommy please bring over here,
fish and chips, for kitten and me, to have on the kitchen”. They promote phonemic
awareness, stir imagination, and are entertaining for older children to read alone or
for parents to read to their little ones. Divided into 4 themes: nursery rhymes, numbers,
tongue twisters, and action rhymes – with whimsically vivid and creative illustrations
that add visual dimension to every word – this book is a keepsake that will rekindle
childhood memories in grownups and have kids treasuring it for years to come.
From the early pioneering attempts to give man wings to today´s supersonic jets,
man´s pushed the limits of the so called impossible to conquer the skies. This book

of aircrafts and fascinating facts of flight: how planes work; what´s the life span of a
jet´s tires; what are the best and the most dangerous airports in the world, to name
some. Descriptive sidebars, pictures and profiles of aviation heroes and inventors
(both men and women) complement this engagingly written flight museum.

In this book, award-winning journalist Gilberto Dimenstein follows characters
of different backgrounds, but who have something in common: the desire to
create alternatives for the hopelessness experienced by those at risk. The author
constructs a panel on the evolution of crime to demonstrate that, even under
the worst conditions, the initiative of some people determined to the initiative
of some people determined to invent social inclusion strategies is capable of
causing radical change. Personal involvement in social issues along with
Dimenstein’s ideas described in this book serve as encouragement for those
Brazilians committed to building a more just nation. (Drauzio Varella)

Examining the poems written in her youth and the letters received from her
companions at the time, Mariana finds they fit together to tell their lives: adolescents
growing up during the years of military ruling in Brazil, in the 60ies and 70ies.
Differences in opinion or political ideas could set friends and even relatives in
conflicting sides. Although written as fiction, the book is based on true stories
– names and places altered to avoid undesirable recognition. Facts in the background
are real and documented by newspapers clippings. The perception of such
events as seen at the time turns the book into an important testimony for the
new generations.
Having well known spots of beautiful Rio de Janeiro for background, the book
presents a collection of twelve short stories on different objects of human passions.
A forgotten love, passion for art, passion for football, young dreams… are some of
the themes to enthrall the reader and take them to unexpected ends – intriguing,
good-humoured ends. Richly illustrated with colourful photographs taken from a
love-of-the-town point of view.

The foundation of Petropolis is directly linked to the German immigrants hired
to work in the construction of an imperial summer palace while establishing
an agricultural settlement in the surrounding grounds. They came from Duchies
as Prussia, Bavaria, Nassau and others. “Delicious Legacy” tells the story of
such people, their work and amusement traditions. Their delicious culinary
legacy is presented by tested and well explained recipes that the reader can
enjoy. The book also teaches to appreciate beer in all its forms, including
applications in the kitchen. Illustrated with old photos of the settlers and the
city when still an imperial village.
Back to her grand-mother’s hometown to fetch a forgotten sewing box, Heloisa is
surprised to find curious facts about her family. The search takes her to unexpected
obstacles and people. Every different situation reminds her of her childhood in
the town and brings new intriguing revelations. The narrative, exciting sometimes,
keeps the reader in suspense, but sometimes it is pure romance, for above all,
this is a tale of love. A trip in time and space traces the changes in women’s
behaviour along two centuries: the conformism and rebellion, the price to be
paid for transgression – the secrets. After all, who was the true D. Cotinha? What
secrets had she kept in a sewing box?

The fast-paced and intelligent prose that is, at the same time, subtle and rich (replete
with cultural and consumer references) makes this debut work of fiction by the
young author a narrative that stands out in today’s Brazilian pop literature. Nola,
the protagonist, is an architect living in modern São Paulo with Tom (her brother) and
Kojak (a bulldog). Another narrative includes the young Lucia in Santos (coastal city)
20 years earlier. The novel takes flight in the latter half, with unexpected twists and
revelations, when the connection between the narratives comes to light. This book
won São Paulo Prize for young authors in 2009 and chose to make part of a library for
young readers of public schools all over Brazil.
The development of our senses and the discovery of new limits to their expansion
is the key proposal put forward by Sergio Sá in this book. In a sensitive testimony
on his condition as a blindman and his subsequent relationship with the world,
the book reveals reflections and tales of the author´s past experiences.

Book ranked among the 50 finalists in the Portugal Telecom 2010. In Tabasco, the

peoples. The mythical apocalyptic tone of the work is traversed by a sweet lyricism
rooted in social protest. The poem is set in the region where the Mayan culture was
established. Among iguanas, jaguars and volcanoes, the author makes a poetic
and archaeological journey to our most remote cultural backgrounds. Lucila
Nogueira is a professor at the UFPE – Universidade Federal de Pernambuco

Cangaço was a social phenomenon in the Brazilian Northeast between the
mid-19th century and beginning of the 20th century. Lampião, considered the figure
that led the movement from the depths of Sertão, Brazil’s semi-arid region, to the
pages of big-city newspapers, wisely took advantage of a great invention that
was popularized in the early 20th century: photography. By its photography
documentation, Cangaço reached newspaper pages and the popular imagination.
News reports helped its main historical figures become consolidated in the people’s
minds. The book offers 150 of such photographs and a DVD with the sole moving
images of the social bandits that came to be known as cangaceiros.
Head and hands, heart and soul: the meeting of peoples with different profiles
and skills with the most diverse life experiences springs what we could call
Brazilian identity. A growing number of artisans and designers are working
together in efforts to revitalize handcrafted objects. With over three decades of
design studies, Adélia Borges creates a deep portrait of recent achievements in
Brazilian handcraft and offers a meticulous analysis of the country’s efforts to
add value to its artisan works.

Brazil, 18th century. The first Brazilian urban centers are growing rapidly
and intensely, supported by a slave-based economy. Mines had been found
and there is plenty of gold financing a wave of baroque art in several cities.
Within that context “criola” jewelry is created, being produced and used by
blacks, from those freed to the still enslaved, as symbols of power, seduction
and sorcery, even serving to buy freedom. The book presents an astounding
collection of such craftsmanship, accompanied by historical engravings,
paintings and photographs proving the daily use of the delicate objects.
Bearing an unusual design, the book is shaped like an accordion and can be
completely opened to reveal with its almost 20m five panoramic images of
São Paulo. Created during helicopter flights and from building roofs, the
images aim to show how difficult it is to visualize the spatial dimension of the city.
About São Paulo is the most recent project of artist Claudia Jaguaribe, who has
works in the main Brazilian and international contemporary art institutions, like
Itaú Cultural Collection, MAM, MASP, Contemporary Art Institute – Inhotim and
Maison Européenne de la Photographie.

Brasil terra virgem is a book that introduces Brazil by using the analogy of a tree
to define its roots (Portuguese, African and Indigenous), its trunk (the faith that
sustains it, whether religious, or that in football, in work, in luck, in betting and in
everything else) and its branches (which here are paths, to Brazil’s landscapes:
the coast and the Atlantic rainforest, the sertão or dry savanna, the mountain
ranges, tablelands, the Pantanal wetland, gauchos, rural life, Brazil’s waters and
the Amazon). There’s also a photographic essay on urban Brazil and a chapter
on the generosity of the land, a veritable offering.

This is a photographic essay by Roberto Linsker, the result of travels between
myth and reality, a journey that lasted for eight years along the vast extent of
Brazil’s coastline. “Everything began with just a line, clearly separating that
which is of man from that which isn’t: the horizon.” And the photographer’s
eyes swept the horizon seeking the everyday, which on many occasions
became the epic. It was in looking for fleeting memories in the diversity of
the ocean that he discovered the identity of these men.

As John Anzanello Carrascoza said, Marcelo Maluf brings “safe narrative, rich
fable making and singular literature” and shows the reader that the only thing we
can share about our personal experiences are metaphors. The highly imagistic
narratives gathered in this book trespass the verisimilar, and put us in suspension
like a zen koan. Clearly influenced by authors such as Julio Cortázar, Murilo Rubião,
and Alejandro Jodorowsky, this work also arises directly from the contact the author
had in recent years with various sources of spirituality, since the mysticism from
the early Christians passing by Sufis, Zen and Tibetan Buddhism and Brazilian
indigenous shamanic traditions.
The fiction in The river that flows stars is soaked in memories, as Maria
Adelaide Amaral says in the preface: “Santana ascended to heaven, wandered
through cold corridors, stepped down on the engine room and came across
with undergrounds which, he said, no one sees without going into the dark.
Luckily for us readers, the therapist discovered the poet and turned his childhood
in pure poetry.” Santana Filho allows the reader to experience a childhood in
the country of a Brazil that may no longer exist.

Marcia Barbieri is considered by important authors as a great promise of Brazilian
literature. Managing a poetic, spinning and hallucinating prose, in this book the
narration comes from the protagonist Maria Luiza, a strong-willed woman, extremely
passionate, whose jealousy borders on madness. She is atylist that barely leaves
the apartment she shares with her husband Lúcio, a photographer. The reader is
dragged through the tortuous and schizophrenic visions of Maria Luiza. However,
in the last chapters of the book, all her narrative will be demystified by the perspective
of Lúcio, who will reveal to the reader a secret about Maria Luiza and show himself
without the lens of the wicked woman. But can we trust him or is Lucius as
psychotic as his wife? Which one to trust?
Where can the dreams lead us to? This is the question Petê Rissatti poses with
his novel. Ivan G. lives in a world ruled by a unique power, the World Government.
One day, Ivan receives a letter from the Government informing that from now on
all citizens ought to take Requiem, a drug that suppresses the capacity of
dreaming. The punishment to those having their dreams tracked is harsh. One
night, Ivan, a simple Government archivist, gets short of Requiem and sees his
entire life go upside down when he finds himself involved with the Dreamers, a
revolutionary group fighting against the oppressor and dictatorial Government.

The Church is called to deeply rethink its mission. It is a matter of affirming, renewing
and revitalizing the novelty of the Gospel deeply rooted in our history, starting with a
personal and communitarian encounter with Jesus Christ, which awakens disciples
and missionaries (Doc. of Aparecida n. 11). The General Guidelines for the
Evangelizing Action of the Church in Brazil 2011-2015 (CNBB) ask the Christian
communities to look for concrete answers for the Gospel announcement in our time,
with a view to the five “urgencies”: live encounter with Jesus Christ; biblical animation
of life and pastoral; missionary joy; Church as a community of communities, and
Church at the service of a fulfilling life for everybody. This book proposes a spiritual
pedagogy that is the fruit of several experiences that nourish our hope.

Clínicas at the University of São Paulo Medical School (FMUSP), one of the largest
hospitals in Latin America, I have learned to deal with limit-situations. In this health
care cathedral, where life and death are very close partners, I have experienced the
situations described in this book. I cannot guarantee that some of these accounts do
not cause doubts or even generate a little crisis in faith. However, I wrote only about
things I believe in. The accounts may even disappoint the reader. However, in my

In our days, the Lord needs a rescue squad, highly trained on God’s Word. Without
nourishment we will lose the fight. Every day we have to get our “manna” portion.
Otherwise, we will stumble and God does not want to see us defeated by lack of
food. Happy are those who understand the importance of the Bible in their daily
life. Those will be the winners.
The struggle for holiness is not easy, it requires from us perseverance and
faith, but it must be continuous. If you find yourself static, you need to walk. If
you find yourself on the ground, you must rise up again and get back on track,
because God always welcomes those who want to return to Him. In Arise and
Walk, Emanuel Stênio explains that it is not only possible, but also necessary to be
a saint, these days. Through examples of his own life and the Gospel, he shows the
steps that will be essential to start the path toward the place that the Father has in
store for each of His children in heaven. Let’s go together?

The book talks about the charisma of tears and all the good it brings us, as the
power of healing and forgiveness. The author shows us that the gift of tears is a
way to express ourselves before God. “It is a simple and humble gift of the Holy
Spirit that brings in it a power of salvation.” It has nothing to do with dismay,
drowsiness, weak will, negativism, depression or even sadness. It may be
considered an effective prayer, that God answers promptly. God has the
power to transform the humiliation we experience in the present into victory.
We all want to be happy. But, after all, what is happiness? In this book, Father
Adriano Zandoná will help you discover many of the elements needed to build
happiness in your story. With each chapter, a new brick will be placed in this big
construction. Without demagogies or readymade answers, you will be guided to
reflect and find some good points on how to better manage your existence, with
fulfillment and happiness. The joy is not something permanent and some days
certainly will seem to be more cloudy, but happiness is something that comes
from inside and is not shaken by outside realities. Do not get stuck to what is
fleeting... Learn how to fly higher!

country town in the state of São Paulo by Father Jonas Abib, along with 12 young
boys and girls, which got fruitful results, such as the evangelization of thousands
through media and the propagation of the faith throughout the world. From the
first mission house in Queluz to the Pontifical Recognizing, Canção Nova

Problems are part of our life. And still, there is no trick to make them disappear.
The option, therefore, is to face them. Thinking about this, Father Fabrício wrote
this book with the yearning to guide us toward the best response we can give to
difficulties, always aiming to mature in our faith and to grow in our commitment
to the will of God. In this book, you will be invited to discover the truth around you,
the reason for your sufferings and fears and to start experiencing something
completely new. But, in order to accept the invitation, it is essential to have
determination and courage, since you will need to be released from your “own
desire” and guided by the winds of the Lord.

Many people are interested in understanding theological thought but encounter
difficulty, principally because they are unable to discover the link between
theology and the reality of daily life. And many others who specialize in theological
knowledge have difficulty conveying these concepts in a comprehensible and
palatable manner. There needs to be balance, dialogue and interaction. In this
work, Luiz Sayão discusses a series of important themes such as ethics, racism,
fatalism, liberalism, mysticism, biblical theology, theology of the family, theology
and society, and church history in a presentation that is filled with profound
thought, common sense, simplicity, objectivity, creativity and humor.

(Tanách) was analyzed having the Hebrew language as the main basis. Some

We can state that this work is groundbreaking and this can be understood
in two different ways. The first one possesses an essentially factual character:
this is believed to be the first work published in Brazil on the relationship
between Schopenhauer’s thought and Buddhism. The second one is much
more relevant: this is the first work published in Brazil that not only develops
a rigorous mapping of the sources employed by Schopenhauer in his study
of Buddhism, but also approaches the philosophical issue of the existing
relationship between these two thoughts (i.e., the relationship between
Schopenhauer’s thought and the Buddhist philosophy.

Historian Rodrigo Ricupero demonstrates in this book that the tasks necessary for
colonizing new lands could only be assumed by those with resources. The services
provided required capitol, but the compensation that they received for these services led to
new investments in the growing economy. In Brazil, the elite controlled resources, owned
lands and slaves, was committed to the settlement process and provided the framework
for the colonial administration. The period of the rise of the nascent elite occurred from
1530 – the beginning of colonization – to the middle of the seventeenth century. In this
period of conquest and consolidation of the Portuguese domination of the Atlantic coast,
between São Vicente and Belém, every step forward served to strengthen the colonial
elite, allowing the occupation of new lands and the capture of thousands of indigenous.

Seven Lessons
on Brazilian Thought
Author: Bernardo Ricupero
224 Pages
ISBN: 978-85-98325-56-9
Rights available
In this volume, historian Vera Lucia Amaral Ferlini examines the social
configuration unique to the formation of Brazil. In order to understand this
social structure, one must first examine the territorial and political dimensions
of the Portuguese expansion. The Brazilian enslaver society was not based solely
on the institution of slavery, but was also influenced by the integration of the
mercantile, slave-based plantation, along with pre-existing European principles.
Understanding this diversity is fundamental to understanding the mechanisms
of the monopoly of power held by a small privileged group of people.
Bernardo Ricupero explains the importance and current relevance of several
important Brazilian thinkers and their ideas: the concept of Brazilian “cordiality”,
by Sérgio Buarque de Holanda; the relationship of the Brazilian with other peoples,
by Oliveira Vianna; Gilberto Freire’s racial mixing and patriarchal State; the
discussion regarding our colonial past, by Caio Prado Júnior; RaymundoFaoro’s
analysis on the weight of the State on the nation; and Florestan Fernandes’
theory that the revolution of the middle class in Brazil was not a historic episode,
but rather a structural phenomenon. Any attempt to understand Brazil begins,
even indirectly, with these scholars.

From 1570 to the middle of the nineteenth century, between 38 to 43 per cent
of all of the Africans trafficked to the Americas ended up in Brazil. African slave
culture produced innumerable institutions related to family, food, music and
culture. The slaves formed a large number of well-populated quilombos as a form
of protest, creating brotherhoods in the cities. This book discusses some of the
institutions formed in urban centers, as well as important individuals from the

It was believed for a very long time that intelligence was an inborn quality. The
genetic factor was considered to be much more influent than the environmental
factors. However, due to the advances on neurosciences, it has become evident
that intelligence and talent are traits that can be acquired easily with a bit of
effort. On this book dedicated to students of every level, Pierluigi Piazzi, teaches
how to use intelligence to become a more intelligent person.
This book presents the social, cultural and demographic aspects of third age,
discussing the effects of the aging of population on the consumer markets and,
more specifically, its placement on the tourism market.

What is the importance of an analytic critic of the tourism? Do the scholars of
tourism do a superficial analysis of this phenomena on the modern society?
Is the study of tourism a science? With a profound base on philosophy and
epistemology, the author penetrates intellectually on the theories of tourism,
identifying the positivism as a paradigmatical analysis of the twentieth century
tourism. From it, he emerges with the proposition of a more humane, logic and
coherent critic point of view, proposing phenomenology as one of the possibilities
of the problems found on his analysis.

Internationally recognized as the most important and comprehensive scientific
treatise on experienceS outside the body (projection of consciousness), this book
is the reference work that underlies the science of Projectiology, the result of more
than three decades of research of physician and researcher Waldo Vieira.
This is an enlightening and engaging book on a near-death experience (NDE), in
which the author, scrutinizing herself, shares reflections, research, personal
attitudes and, especially, the recycling of values and positions she overcomes.
Drawing parallels between the historical and social changes of her time and the
turns of her personal universe, the author leads us to a deeper understanding of
the reality of the NDE, demystifying and clarifying its mechanisms. The book is
suitable both for researchers interested in studying the phenomenon of the NDE
as the readers aware of the need to invest in self-knowledge.

No Fear of Death
Author: Vera Hoffmann
With a clear and accessible approach, the author shows how self-reconciliation
assists in overcoming low self-esteem, self-blame, resentment, grievances and
frustrations, which are elements that represent major barriers to health and
personal development. In the text effective techniques are proposed for effective
self-reconciliation which results in, among other benefits, greater personal
confidence and emotional stability. With reconciliation, the person adopts a
participatory approach, assuming greater responsibility for life itself, since,
in the words of the author, “there is no use trying to outsource self-cure”.

Physical death is still a cause of grief and fear, remains incomprehensible to
most people and generates significant discomfort when addressed. From an
enlightening and touching testimony, Vera Hoffmann demonstrates, through
her multidimensional experiences, that biological death is a mere illusion.
With good humor and softness, the author invites us to join a walk that seeks
knowledge about the continuity of life. No Fear of Death demystifies the topic
and highlights the importance of parapsychism, a self-persuasive instrument
with regards to the true nature of consciousness, its vehicles of manifestation
and the reality of life and death.

morphological and topographical definition of tumors, which, in addition to
pathology of molecules techniques, indicate the staging, the histopathological
lineage, and their classifying characteristics. The book also includes the synthesis
of new drugs and knowledge about radiotherapy.

The book is an alternative of teacher-student action in which the teacher does
not work for the student, but with the student. The pedagogical work proposal
consists in using the dialectic method practice-theory-practice. The author
divides the practice in five steps, and each one of them has the purpose of
involving the student in the significant learning of the content. This way, the
contents and the didactic procedures are studied in the interconnection they
have with the student’s social practices. The author, João Luiz Gasparin, is a
professor at UEM (State University of Maringá, PR, Brazil). Translated into Spanish.

This book consists on the first approach to the meaning of the historical-critical
pedagogy. That is so because the elaboration of this pedagogical chain is still in
progress, through the contribution of different scholars.
It is about expliciting how changes in the modes of production for human
existence have historically generated new forms of education, which, in return,
have exerted influence on the transformation of their corresponding modes of
production. Dermeval Saviani, the author, works as emeritus professor at
Unicamp (State University of Campinas, SP, Brazil
This book is aimed at beginner researchers, mathematical education researcher
and teacher trainers, as all of them will find operational benefits to develop their
introduction in researches in this field. The main chapters describe and illustrate
the main phases of the investigation process: the creation of the research
project, the collection process and composition of the study material, the
systematization and the analysis of data, and the final writing of the study. The
authors, Dario Fiorentini and Sergio Lorenzato, are professors at Unicamp (State

To go from the common sense to the philosophical conscience it is necessary
to cultivate, somehow, the erudition. But the word erudition reminds a double,
ambiguous meaning. On one hand, it expresses a wide and detailed knowledge,
and the erudite is someone who dominates all the details of science or art he
cultivates. On the other hand, it reminds a depreciatory meaning, showing a
multiplicity of knowledge that do not articulate organically and critically. Considering
this aspect, the erudition is opposed to culture, and is understood as a free
knowledge, not connected to the ways of thinking, acting and feeling that define
culture. That is the message that the present book aims to show the readers.

The axis of this book is the relations between education and democracy. If it is
reasonable to suppose that democracy cannot be taught through non-democratic
practices, it cannot be concluded that the democracy of the internal relationships
in the schools is enough to prepare young students for their active participation
into the democratization of society. This is not about simply choosing between
authoritarian or democratic relations within the classroom, but to articulate the
work developed in the schools with the process of the democratization of society.

This book, directed to both Mathematics teachers and continuous training courses
for Elementary and High School teachers, was born from hardship faced by teachers
to make operational the basic educational principles of the pedagogical practice,
such as: to take advantage of the students experiences; encourage experimentation
and rediscovering; value and take advantage of the students’ errors and doubts, as
well as to teach Arithmetic, Geometry and Calculus in an integrated manner,
respecting individual differences and emphasizing the students’ questions, in order
to explore Mathematics application. Trying to make the Mathematics learning
meaningful and enjoyable, this work covers 25 educational principles whose
application favors an education of high quality.

A journey into the complexity of the human mind, behavior and stress in the
globalized workplace. In order to comply with the new demands, workers must
multifunction, submit to substandard conditions, and cope with the impact of
uncertainty about one´s own future. In a clear and accessible language, from the
theory of stress to discrimination in the workplace and burnout, this book taps
into both social and health sciences with rich theoretical understandings and
research base. Thus, making a bold, current, and positive contribution to medical
doctors, psychologists, therapists, social workers, administrators, engineers and
everyone involved with workers well-being.
When schools lose their autonomy they also lose the ability to educate for
freedom. The Citizen School is an innovative project in educational practices
and an alternative to neoliberalism. It fights social and educational imbalance,
promotes the participation of the community in the construction of its own
welfare, it is sensitive to differences and embraces diversity. Technology and
communication media are integrated to promote social awareness, and educators
– as facilitators - encourage pupils to be free-thinkers conscientious about their
rights and duties, exercise justice, empathy, responsibility, tolerance, and build a
more just, sustainable and balanced society.

What do you lose by having no interest in politics? What are the benefits of
understanding it? By answering these questions, Sampaio encourages readers to
ponder about the importance of active participation in the politics. Who are the
politicians? Why is it so important to learn about political parties, candidates, bids
and projects? To discuss these issues is a way to broaden the concepts of collective
and collectiveness and to enhance the competence to take part in public issues. In a
democracy, all citizens have a lot to learn and to do in the national political setting.
Sampaio energetically and enthusiastically encourages us to get involved in
political life.
The book provides an in-depth description and analysis of the Brazilian National
Textbook Program (Programa Nacional do Livro Didático – PNLD), emphasizing

and supported by extensive documentation and references, the book addresses
the history of the PNLD, which concerns not only Brazilians but also citizens all
around the world. After all, in many countries textbooks are still the most read
books, if not the only ones.

The book is an insightful report on the teacher qualification processes and the
role of universities in promoting quality education to teachers, school directors,
and managers of public education networks. Such insight stems from Brazil´s
public education support and qualification projects developed by FAFE, the
School of Education Support Foundation, in partnership with the University
of São Paulo School of Education (Brazil), and reveals how these initiatives
were conceived and developed. The outcome is undeniable: the influence of
universities in education networks is not a one-way street; quite the opposite,
there is a dynamic exchange between theoretical and practical knowledge.

This work analyses the intricate political, economic, social and ideological scenario
that led to the abolition of slavery in Brazil in 1888, and emphasizes that, despite
being an achievement, liberation was only the first step towards the emancipation
of black people in Brazil. This book depicts the evolution of this process, from the fall
of the doctrines that sought to justify slavery as from the rising of the bourgeoisie in
18th century Europe, until the gradual adhesion of land owners to free, non-slave
work. It presents England’s pressure for ending the traffic of slaves, describing its
consequences and addressing the effects of emancipation laws and of economic
development on the proslavery regime.

Should society make ever greater efforts to curb suicidal behavior?
The alarming statistics show why suicide has become a public health problem:
suicide rates are increasing around the world, with roughly one million suicides
a year. These deaths affect between five and ten million “survivors,” including
family members and friends, and cause significant economic loss. This book
approaches the subject analytically and from the perspective of prevention,
taking a holistic view on the causes of suicidal behavior. The author maintains
that people exhibiting suicidal behavior can be identified and helped to overcome
situations that might lead them to take their own lives.
Marina Colasanti and Affonso Romano de Sant’Anna, renowned Brazilian
authors, paint a sensitive portrait of their friend, Clarice Lispector, one of the
most influential fiction writers of Brazilian contemporary scenario. They talk about
her in essays and stories. They also use her own words to express other feelings
and ideas. The collection goes back to the early 1960’s, when Sant’Anna was
introduced to Lispector’s work as a literature student. The book also includes an
interview the couple conducted with Lispector at the Rio de Janeiro Image and
Sound Museum in October 1976.

This book brings together five essays in which the author examines the
financialization of the economy. He believes capitalism cannot deal with the
anxieties of bourgeois ascension. In an effort to trace capital’s contemporary
movement and find the consequences of its metamorphoses, the author goes
back to Marx and Keynes. He also takes protest movements into account. The
author argues against the idea that the financial domination of the economy
indicates a decoupling of the fictitious valuation of wealth in relation to the
generation of value in the productive sphere. He thinks finance’s hegemony
is actually the result of new, even more advanced forms of value.

This book is part of the 20th-Century Revolutions Collection. It begins by looking back
at South Africa’s colonization by the Dutch, French and English in the 17th century.
It argues this is where the apartheid regime’s roots lie – in a contradiction between
class and race that played out in unique historical circumstances. It also looks at
Nelson Mandela’s emergence as South Africa’s leader. It goes into detail about
Mandela’s little-known rise to power and describes the path that led him to become
a model of resistance around the world. The book takes apart myths about the South
African Revolution and shows how little are really known about it - and that the
transition from the apartheid to democracy, for instance, was not peaceful.

and its relevance for the debate about the democratic order. It is an innovative work
because it looks at the question not from an internal or exclusively technical
perspective, but rather from the point of view of the challenges involved in the
discussion of the democratic institutional future of Brazil.

This book buries two traditional premises when it comes to analyses of the
relations between Brazil and the world: the monopoly of the creation of foreign
policy by Itamaraty and the low degree of internationalization of various
segments which are part of the state and Brazilian civil society. The number
and diversity of social actors and domestic bureaucracies with wide-ranging
international actions have expanded enormously in recent years, and, as a
result, Itamaraty’s ability to direct them has been reduced.

To innovate is a hard and often frustrating task, but one which is essential in
order to differentiate you in the market. Design thinking deals with traditional
business problems from multiple perspectives, helping to solve them in an
effective way, which leads to new paths. The objective of this work is to spread
the use of design culture as a strategic tool for businesses, together with the idea
that financial returns are often linked with the ability to approach old issues from
new angles. This book presents stages, techniques and tools illustrated through
genuinely Brazilian cases to inspire and aid in the work towards innovation.

This book is addressed to professionals in all areas of business. Through it, we
intend to cover the genesis of innovation, as well methods and practices for its
implementation. The latter is at least as important as – or even more important
than – the innovation itself. We hope this book will encourage many companies
to create their own prototyping labs and business innovation departments, and
to introduce Design Thinking as standard management practice.

From this book’s conception, an initial view of the stages inherent to Design
Thinking’s approach applied to innovation projects is extended to its potential
readers. Companies in general and even entire industries, all over the world, feel
threatened by rapid change in the field of technology with the resulting impacts on
society and the market, and fall prey to surprise attacks by newcomers, new products
and business models. So, innovating may be risky, but not innovating is also risky.

“One of the most didactic and practical books that I have ever read on innovation
and, mainly, on how to transform ideas into action. As a Service Management
professor, I teach that good services won’t be good forever. Either they change
the client’s expectations or the competitors will improve the original idea. So, it
is always necessary to innovate. Reading Design Thinking provides valuable
methodologies for all of those who wish to understand the need to innovate and
how to make innovations be transformed into solutions.” - Kleber Figueiredo

A successful restorative work must be able to meet the expectations of the
patient and the professional. It must provide an appropriate function along
several years and it should particularly satisfy the aesthetical needs. The
biological and functional aspects of the restorations are not enough. The sum
of functional errors plus the unskillfulness of the professional generates dentistpatient dissatisfaction and the need to repeat the work, as attaining and keeping
a healthy and non-destructive occlusion is a major purpose in the Restorative
Dentistry. Form, function and aesthetics compose the occlusal treatment by
restorative procedures and they must convey harmony

important and definitive reference within the history of the implantodontics.
Odontology, as a profession, needs to consolidate its practices and to adapt
them to the most modern principles. The material presented here is evidently
senseless for the Dentistry professional who does not think with the brains, but
with the hands. Nowadays, that professional is no longer accepted. However, as
regards to the qualified professional, the information contents, having proven
quality, for sure, they will make possible a better clinical practice, generating
more health and life quality for those ones who are the major purposes of the
profession: to serve the patients.

of prestigious professionals in Orthondontics at the present time, who present
in-depth studies with significant contributions. As the author points out, this book
covers updated issues for the clinical day-to-day activities of the orthodontists. It is an
integration of knowledge that is needed to exert our specialty with excellence. It refers
from scientific evidences and civil responsibility up to orthognathic surgery. The
vision of the work is clear and objective; it offers an unquestionable, special touch,

This book exams the process of writing scripts for documentary films. While in a
fiction film screenwriting takes place entirely during the development phase,
prior to pre-production and shooting, in the documentary, the writing many times
extends throughout the entire production process. In this regard, Sérgio Puccini
presents considerations on the stages of pre-production, shooting and postproduction, focusing on the role each one plays in constructing a documentary.
He also demonstrates how the possibility of working with an open script can
allow technical areas, like cinematography and editing, to have greater creative
participation in the film.

Habermas is best known for his ideas on communicative action. Indeed, his thoughts
on emancipation are often confused with communicative rationality. But it doesn’t end
there. This philosopher attempts to produce a theory of rationality, not only a theory of
communicative rationality. Habermas himself states that his Critical Theory of Society
consists of a “reconstructive theory of society”. Far from being a mere methodology,
“reconstruction” is the structural category of his work. Through it, he aims to both identify
potentials for emancipation of our time, “(…) and critique and incorporate the results from
non-critical social theories, from traditional theories. This book aims precisely to present

Parábola Editorial, a Brazilian publishing house, opened business in 2001 with
its first title: Português ou Brasileiro? Um convite à pesquisa, still on catalogue.
Our aim is to publish titles on language teaching and learning, linguistics,
philosophy, pedagogy and literature for children and young readers. We believe
we represent a new beginning in language education publishing, because we
seek to choose good authors and themes. Having a close contact with our
authors is an essential part of our activities. As result of this strategy, our books
combine theory, research, and experience. Nowadays, we have 160 titles in our
catalogue, and we reprint several of them annually. We hope you can find in this
brief review inspiration and opportunities.

The impact of new technologies over language teaching is undeniable. Rapid
changes have demanded teachers and students to acquire new abilities and
develop new strategies to fully use the potential of the new technologies. The
school must be connected with its students (and teachers!) to have access to
educational opportunities offered by these new technologies. We live in the
liquid languages era, in the era of networking and relationships. The school must
prepare its audience for an increasingly digital functioning on the society and to
seek within cyberspace a meeting spot with differences and multiple identities.
Grammar
concepts, analyzes and parameters
Author: Maria Helena de Moura Neves
Lingua[gem] Collection
How would a people have gotten to a situation in which there would be a grammar
manual to be prepared? Tradition teaches us that this happened in Greece,
in the Hellenistic period, a moment in which there was a collapse of the patterns
of the language considered “pure”, fact that already exposes the work’s motivation.
The center of the query is the indetermination of language, what conditions a
multiplicity of relationships and tensions, all of it determining more fluidity than
rigidity in language use, that is, more continuous accommodations than
immutable installations.

This book has been elaborated to a well-established target audience: graduate
and undergraduate students of language and literature who aim to acquire a
theoretical base to further their studies on discourse and to be able to analyze
texts from different perspectives. It presents important sources of information
which discourse scholars have been drinking of. The aim is to give readers the
opportunity to know some of these sources not only to allow them to dive into
these sources, but also to make readers better comprehend the thought of
theoreticians who have worked on discourse phenomena.
New Pragmatics
Periods and Features
Author: Kanavillil Rajagopalan
Lingua[gem] Collection
This book synthetizes Kanavillil Rajagopalan’s reflections over the speech acts
theory, its main inspiration, J. L. Austin, and its major propagandist, John Searle.
What Rajagopalan makes evident is that the reading Searle does of Austin’s
work is a skewed and interested intervention, and that there are other reading
possibilities for Austin’s work and to seize his intuitions – crushed by the prestige
and monopoly of Searle’s interpretation. Regarding his theory, Austin places
himself in collision course with not less than the platonic realism, which both
defines and functions as one of the bastions of the philosophical enterprise
called analytical philosophy.

How to study language? This is one of the main issues which guide the author
through the whole book. Rather focused on the theory of textual production,
the author approaches the history of Linguistics in the twentieth century,
the notion of subject, subjectivity, discourse, text and genre, under the social
interactionist perspective of the language, and analyses textual genres in the
speaking-writing continuum.

If by the middle of the twentieth century literacy practices based on the use of
written technology fulfilled the demands imposed to school education, this is no
longer the case when digital technologies appear. New challenges are imposed
on the school. We must see our students as protagonist subjects in the construction
of meaningful knowledge and we must recognize the youngsters’ position as
producers and consumers of cultural assets in new medias, understanding that
juvenile cultures construct, from literate specific practices, social networks. The
networks will allow these young people to become active cultural agents in
several local and global cultures.

The health promotion proposal, adopted in several countries, emphasizes the
development of healthy public policies, linking different sectors of society, in
order to result in improvements in the population way of living and in the
reduction of health risks. The conception of this book came from the experience
of the organizers as nurses who desired a tool able to provide health promotion
support that could be applied in any environment of the nursing practice. Based
on this concept, they developed a material that contains theoretical and practical
support, in addition to examples in case reports, which provides foundation to
the development of health promotion actions.
Professor Fábio França has given the academic community and the professional
market a new concept that is enriching the study of the audiences, mapping them
completely and comprehensively. This third edition, revised and expanded, comes
out in a moment that, thanks to the social nets growth, the understanding about
the relations between audiences and organizations becomes even more necessary,
presenting an unpublished concept to classify the audiences built with the use of
logical theory. Its reading is mandatory for those who search new ways to map
strategic audiences through dependence, participation and interference criteria
