La biografía del maestro del humor británico más desaforado y desmadrado. Tom Sharpe dijo en una ocasión: «Mi biografía es tan extravagante que probablemente explica la clase de libros que escribo». Basada en el abundante legado documental que el escritor dejó tras su fallecimiento, esta biografía profundiza en la vida de un genio del humor literario británico del siglo XX. La obra empieza con la infancia del autor –hijo de un reverendo anglicano partidario del nazismo– y recorre el arduo paso por diversos colegios, el descubrimiento de la sexualidad y el fetichismo, la entrada en los Royal Marines y el mundo académico de Cambridge. Llegan después los trascendentales años en Sudáfrica, donde fue profesor, fotógrafo y activista antiapartheid. Las situaciones que allí vivió –incluida la cárcel– pusieron en marcha su creatividad literaria como un modo de responder a las injusticias de las que era testigo, hasta consagrarse como escritor con el emblemático Wilt y sus desternillantes desventuras. El libro habla también de los largos años de bloqueo con los que tuvo que lidiar, del infarto que padeció, del descubrimiento de Llafranc, que se convertiría en su refugio y paraíso... Sharpe se definió como un «hombre con una mente de saltamontes», que brincaba de un tema a otro y rompía las leyes de la lógica. Esta biografía ayuda a entender no solo sus contradicciones y su efervescente personalidad, sino cómo el sarcasmo fue para él un arma de defensa frente a la locura del mundo.

Frensic and Futtle is a small and successful literary agency. But following a successful court case by a woman who claimed to have been libeled by one of their authors, the agency rapidly loses business. One day, a manuscript for a book called Pause O Men for the Virgin arrives at the agency, together with a note from the author's solicitor, saying that the author wishes to remain anonymous and that the agency has carte blanche on how it deals with the book. The book turns out to deal with the love affair between an 80-year old woman and a 17-year old youth. The populist American publisher Hutchmeyer agrees to sign a deal to publish the book in the United States for $2 million, providing the author carries out a promotional tour of the country. Sonia and Frensic decide to use aspiring but unpublished author Peter Piper to stand in for the anonymous author. But when Piper receives a proof copy of Pause from the publisher by mistake, it takes a certain amount of persuasion and arm-twisting from Sonia Futtle to convince Piper to travel to America.

Wilt is back - in form, and in a good deal of trouble. Henry Wilt is still teaching at the Fenland Tech, attempting to drill English into plasterers, dozing through tedious committee meetings and occasionally getting mildly plastered in 'The Pig in a Poke' with one of his few bearable colleagues. But the even tenor of his days is rudely interrupted when the shadow of drug dealing flickers across the Tech. Suddenly Wilt becomes the target of suspicion. His colleagues believe him to be responsible for triggering a departmental inquiry, and his old adversary Inspector Flint, knowing that he's guilty of something, sees a chance to settle a number of scores. What starts with an accusation of voyeurism in the staff lavatory (of the wrong gender to boot) leads, more or less directly, to a massive confrontation at a nearby US airbase with the forces of law and order on both sides and Wilt in his usual place - in the middle.

A worldwide classic of children's literature - a moving, life-affirming childhood story, finally available in English again Meet Zezé - Brazil's naughtiest and most loveable boy, his talent for mischief matched only by his great kindness. When he grows up he wants to be a 'poet with a bow-tie' but for now he entertains himself playing pranks on the residents of his family's poor Rio de Janeiro neighbourhood and inventing friends to play with. That is, until he meets a real friend, and his life begins to change... My Sweet Orange Tree is a worldwide classic of children's literature – never out of print in Brazil since it was first published in 1968, it has also been translated into an astonishing number of languages and won the hearts of millions of young readers from Korea to turkey, Poland to Thailand and in many other countries too. José Mauro de Vasconcelos (1920-84) was a Brazilian writer who worked as a sparring partner for boxers, a labourer on a banana farm, and a fisherman before he started writing at the age of 22.

As imagens das cidades fundamentam-se em um sentimento que acompanha as imagens desde sua origem funerária, nos tempos mais remotos: a ausência. Em princípio, se a imagem mostra, ela não ausenta, pois mostrar é tornar presente. No entanto, a imagem presentifica e ausenta simultaneamente. Sua capacidade de ser atemporal e perpétua é seu cerne, em oposição ao cerne da cidade, que é efêmera ao existir no tempo presente. Na passagem do efêmero ao perpétuo, o atemporal se torna real por meio da imagem que projeta nossa visão para o passado e para o futuro, substituindo, assim, o presente. O objetivo deste livro é compreender no que se fundamentam as imagens de Florianópolis. Essas imagens constituem-se tanto de fotografias quanto de discursos e têm a intenção de promover a cidade, atraindo turistas, investidores e novos moradores. As fontes de pesquisa foram selecionadas dentre a publicidade turística de Florianópolis e do estado de Santa Catarina, os anúncios privados de turismo e de condomínios residenciais, as matérias veiculadas em periódicos de circulação local, nacional e internacional e análises sobre os Planos Diretores. Chegou-se à conclusão de que, no intuito de divulgar a cidade, essas imagens que retratam Florianópolis mantêm um padrão fundamental: voltam seu foco para as memórias do passado e as potencialidades do futuro, expressando a ausência do tempo presente.

It is one of the more surprising facts about Old England that one can still find families living in the same houses their ancestors built centuries before and on land that has belonged to them since before the Norman Conquest. The Gropes of Grope Hall are one such family.... The Gropes are an old English family based in Northumberland, separated from the rest of society and as eccentric as they come. It is a line dominated by strong-willed and oversexed women, determined to produce more female heirs regardless of whether their desired partners are willing ... At the dawn of the new millennium, timid and gormless teenager Esmond is abducted and lured to Grope Hall by a descendant of the Gropes. Young Esmond is powerless to escape, and his kidnap sets in motion a stream of farcical events that will have readers laughing out loud. Tom Sharpe's trademark humour abounds in this new novel, marking him out once again as an outstanding and unique British storyteller.

George Steiner desarrolla una síntesis de sus intereses intelectuales y vitales y reflexiona sobre la educación, el mal, el dinero o la religión. El hallazgo ficticio de un pergamino dañado por el fuego en las ruinas de una villa de Herculano invita a George Steiner a interpretar el sentido del texto original, que algunos atribuyen a Epicarno de Agra. El legado de este supuesto moralista y retórico del siglo II a. C. se confunde con lo que podría ser una síntesis de los intereses intelectuales y vitales del propio Steiner. Jugando con la conjetura, George Steiner reflexiona sobre la elocuencia del silencio (lo no expresado) en la poesía y la filosofía, las gratificaciones de la amistad, el potencial de la educación y la rareza del talento, la realidad ontológica del mal, la omnipotencia del dinero, los peligros de la religión, la trascendencia de la música y la libertad de elegir la muerte.
