«Um doloroso canto de uma mulher torturada» foi o ponto de partida para Comissão das Lágrimas,o novo livro de António Lobo Antunes. A mulher torturada foi Elvira (conhecida por Virinha), comandante do batalhão feminino do MPLA presa, torturada e morta na sequência dos terríveis acontecimentos de Maio de 1977 em Angola. Mas este é apenas um episódio num livro denso e sombrio sobre Angola depois da independência. António Lobo Antunes não quis fazer um livro documental ou uma reportagem «verídica» sobre o que se passou em Angola, antes usou a sua sensibilidade e o espantoso poder evocativo da sua escrita para falar sobre a culpa, a vingança, a inocência perdida.

Africa is usually depicted in Western media as a continent plagued by continuous wars, civil conflicts, disease, and human rights violations; however, an analysis of the region’s cultural output reveals the depth and strength of the character of the African people that has endured the burden of colonialism. Undoubtedly, much of the scholarship on African literature focuses on countries colonized by the British such as South Africa and Nigeria; however, the African nations colonized by Spain and Portugal have also made major literary contributions. This volume examines the literature and cinema of the African nations colonized by Spain and Portugal (Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Cabo Verde, Angola, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe) to demonstrate the complexity and heterogeneity of these countries in their attempts to establish a post-colonial identity. This volume is intended for undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers seeking to study Hispanic and Luso-African literature and film, and so better understand cultural production in previously underrepresented nations of Africa.

An atmospheric Gothic ghost story, where The Silent Companions meets Daphne du Maurier in South America and a woman faces the darkness bestowed by vengeance. "A phantasmagoric mixture of M. R. James, The Shining and The Turn of the Screw set among the otherworldly Argentinian Pampas." - EDWARD PARNELL, author of Ghostland Winter 1913. Ursula Kelp, a young English gardener, has come to Argentina to restore the gardens of Las Lágrimas. The long-abandoned estate lies deep in the Pampas, the vast empty grasslands of South America where the wind blows without end. Despite warnings from the locals of terrible things that once happened there and the evil that lingers, Ursula sets out to her new post full of hope. Yet when she arrives, all is not as promised. The garden is an untameable wilderness, the staff hostile. Setting to work, Ursula is disturbed by the crunch of footsteps on empty gravel paths, while from the nearby forest comes the frenzied chop of an axe when no one is there. But it is only as she unlocks the secrets of the place that Ursula comes to understand the true horror she is facing. For lurking in the trees – watching her, waiting for her – is a malevolent force that wants Las Lágrimas for itself.

António Lobo Antunes’s twenty-fifth novel, Commission of Tears (2011, Comissão das Lágrimas) is set during the Angolan Civil War (1975-2002). Angola attained official independence on November 11, 1975 and, while the stage was set for transition, a combination of ethnic tensions and international pressures rendered Angola’s hard-won victory problematic. As with many post-colonial states, Angola was left with both economic and social difficulties which translated into a power struggle between the three predominant liberation movements. The People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), formed in December of 1956 as an offshoot of the Angolan Communist Party, had as its support base the Ambundu people and was largely supported by other African countries, Cuba, and the Soviet Union. In this novel, Lobo Antunes delves into this traumatic period of Angola's history through the fragmented memories and dreams of a broken woman. The author drew from the story of the commander of the female battalion MPLA (Popular movement for the liberation of Angola) who was tortured and killed following the state coup of May 1977. It is said that while they tortured her she did not stop singing. This is the story of Cristina, admitted in to a psychiatric clinic in Lisbon. In her torrent of memories, dialogues and traumatic episodes, Cristina remembers her early childhood in Africa, at the time when everything inside her head was intertwined with her father ́s voice, who was a former Black priest and became one of the torturers of the “Commission of Tears.” Cristina’s white mother, a cabaret dancer imported from Lisbon to entertain Portuguese farmers in Angola, marries the Black ex-priest because she finds herself pregnant with Cristina by her the man who exploits her, the cabaret manager. The long, twisting narrative weaves together the three voices of daughter, father, and mother as they recall the terrors of their life in Angola, and their own suffering. Their personal tragedies, scarred by racism and abuse, mirror those of the country that is being torn asunder around them.

Um relato impressionante da luta para controlar o continente africano. Em janeiro de 1885, a Conferencia de Berlim definia as regras para dividir o continente africano e os seus recursos entre os paises europeus. Apesar de essa divis?o parecer inevitavel, o desenho final ainda n?o estava definido. Nesta rigorosa investigac?o, Robert Harms reconstroi o processo caotico que transformou a floresta tropical do Congo na regi?o mais brutalmente explorada de Africa. Protegido durante seculos por fronteiras naturais, o Congo assistiu a partir de 1870 a chegada de exploradores oriundos da Arabia, Europa e America. Pioneiros num negocio implacavel e mortal que envolvia marfim, borracha e escravos, todos eles despojaram a floresta tropical dos seus recursos naturais em busca de fama, dinheiro e poder. Oferecendo descric?es vividas das caravanas de escravos, das conferencias humanitarias e dos encontros diplomaticos, Terra de Lagrimas revela a forma como as redes mundiais de comercio, viagens e comunicac?o redesenharam e arruinaram o continente africano. Uma heranca que ainda se sente nos nossos dias.

Em meados de 2006, Consuelo Dieguez se tornou colaboradora da revista piauí, que seria lançada em outubro daquele ano. A primeira reportagem que lhe foi encomendada, um perfil do banqueiro Luiz Cezar Fernandes, lhe pareceu inusitada. Afinal, a história do ex-dono do banco Pactual, que passara de elefante a formiga do mercado financeiro, já era conhecida por todos. Mas depois de acompanhar o dia a dia de Fernandes, Dieguez entendeu que o melhor jornalismo é feito de histórias não contadas, detalhes ignorados, frases despretensiosas. O melhor perfil conta o avesso dos perfilados. A partir daí, com o brilhantismo que lhe é peculiar, a jornalista concentrou-se em desvendar figuras centrais da história recente do país - como Daniel Dantas, Luciano Coutinho, Sérgio Rosa, entre outros - para revelar o momento econômico por que vimos passando desde a posse de Lula. A partir de histórias individuais, Dieguez aponta como se deu o expressivo aumento da participação do Estado na economia, fato essencial para compreensão do Brasil de hoje. Pela primeira vez reunidos em livro, os ensaios de Bilhões e lágrimas apresentam um análise contundente da economia atual, a partir do melhor e do pior traço da personalidade de cada um de seus atores.

Em 1963, Faraco pertencia ao Partido Comunista Brasileiro. No final do ano, num dos programas do PCUS (Partido Comunista da União Soviética) para estrangeiros, foi convidado para estudar em Moscou. Uma aventura enriquecedora, amarga e perigosa, que durou pouco mais de um ano. O fascínio de uma cultura riquíssima, a mesquinharia da política, a intolerância dos burocratas, os radicalismos insensatos e uma pungente história de amor compõem este livro, que é um misto de relato de viagem e de memórias, e que culmina num grande pesadelo. Depois de uma série de conflitos com chefes políticos ligados aos partidos brasileiro e soviético, Faraco foi internado em regime de reclusão, sob pesada bateria de medicamentos, numa clínica de "reeducação". Era este, na época, um procedimento de rotina em relação àqueles que se rebelavam contra o ultra-esquerdismo do Partido. Esse período dramático é narrado passo a passo em "Lágrimas na chuva", um livro confessional e emocionante.
