'One of the very great writers of the last century' Guardian 'Lispector had an ability to write as though no one had ever written before' Colm Tóibín 'He'd wait for her, she knew that now. Until she learned' Lóri yearns for love yet is scared of herself, and of connecting with another human. When she meets Ulisses, a Professor of Philosophy, she is forced to confront her fears. As both of them will learn, to be worthy of another person, they must first be fully themselves. The book of which Clarice Lispector said, 'I humanized myself', An Apprenticeship is about the ultimate unknowability of the other in a relationship, and what it means to love and be loved. Translated by Stefan Tobler Edited by Benjamin Moser with an Afterword by Sheila Heti

"[A] glorious, glittery saga of friendship and loss... I read The Air You Breathe in two nights. (One might say I inhaled it.)." --NPR "Echoes of Elena Ferrante resound in this sumptuous saga."--O, The Oprah Magazine "Enveloping...Peebles understands the shifting currents of female friendship, and she writes so vividly about samba that you close the book certain its heroine's voices must exist beyond the page." -People The story of an intense female friendship fueled by affection, envy and pride--and each woman's fear that she would be nothing without the other. Some friendships, like romance, have the feeling of fate. Skinny, nine-year-old orphaned Dores is working in the kitchen of a sugar plantation in 1930s Brazil when in walks a girl who changes everything. Graça, the spoiled daughter of a wealthy sugar baron, is clever, well fed, pretty, and thrillingly ill behaved. Born to wildly different worlds, Dores and Graça quickly bond over shared mischief, and then, on a deeper level, over music. One has a voice like a songbird; the other feels melodies in her soul and composes lyrics to match. Music will become their shared passion, the source of their partnership and their rivalry, and for each, the only way out of the life to which each was born. But only one of the two is destined to be a star. Their intimate, volatile bond will determine each of their fortunes--and haunt their memories. Traveling from Brazil's inland sugar plantations to the rowdy streets of Rio de Janeiro's famous Lapa neighborhood, from Los Angeles during the Golden Age of Hollywood back to the irresistible drumbeat of home, The Air You Breathe unfurls a moving portrait of a lifelong friendship--its unparalleled rewards and lasting losses--and considers what we owe to the relationships that shape our lives.

"In Return from the World, anthropologist Gregory Duff Morton traces the migrations of landless Brazilian peasants who choose to leave cities and the opportunities they offer to return to their home villages. Exploring this phenomenon in cities such as Belo Horizonte and the surrounding villages of Rio Branco and Maracujá, Morton seeks to understand what it means to deliberately turn one's back on the promise of economic growth. Leaving cities and giving up their positions in factories, construction sites, and as domestic workers, rural migrants travel hundreds of miles back to villages without running water or dependable power. There, they often take up farming, engaging in subsistence agriculture or laboring as hired hands in nearby plantations. Bringing their stories vividly to life, Morton dives into the dreams and disputes at play in finding freedom in the shared rejection of accumulation"--

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

The second novel in the exhilarating Sands of the Emperor trilogy, following the Man Booker International Prize finalist Woman of the Ashes Mozambique, 1895. After an attack on his quarters, the defeated Portuguese sergeant Germano de Melo needs to be taken to the hospital. The only one within reach is along the river Inhambane, so his lover Imani undertakes an arduous rescue mission, accompanied by her father and brother. Meanwhile, war rages between the Portuguese occupiers and Ngungunyane’s warriors—battles waged with sword and spear, until the arrival of a devastating new weapon destined to secure European domination. Germano wants to start a new life with Imani, but the Portuguese military has other plans for the injured soldier. And Imani's father has his own plan for his daughter’s future: as one of Ngungunyane's wives, she would be close enough to the tyrant to avenge the destruction of their village. With elegance and compassion, Mia Couto's The Sword and the Spear illustrates the futility of war and the porous boundaries between apparently foreign cultures—boundaries of which entire societies, but also friends and lovers, conceive as simultaneously insuperable and in decline.

O livro procura proporcionar um painel histórico sobre os dois últimos estilos de época (escolas literárias) do período colonial. A literatura produzida nesse período no Brasil apresenta não só os mesmos traços da portuguesa, como também a mesma temática e linguagem, com raras exceções, como Gregório de Matos no período barroco e Caldas Barbosa no neoclássico. A teoria é simplificada, sem complexidades desnecessárias, e os textos originais apresentam notas explicativas. Os autores mais destacados em virtude de sua cobrança em provas, trabalhos e vestibulares são: em Portugal o impagável Maria M. Barbosa du Bocage e o inigualável orador Padre Antônio Vieira; no Brasil, o Boca do Inferno Gregório de Matos e o lírico Tomás Antônio Gonzaga, o Dirceu da Marília, cujas vidas já foram adaptadas para romance em prosa por Orestes Rosolla, com o título Marília, a noiva da inconfidência .

Compõem este volume três pequenos textos de Marcello Duarte Mathias, A Trouxe-Mouxe, conjunto de notas soltas, O Destino Velado, sobre o suicídio e a morte (1980), e Lembrar de Raízes, evocações de infância (1988). Embora diversos, têm em comum o gosto e a prática do aforismo: a infância, a adolescência, as mulheres, o suicídio, a morte e as várias dimensões do tempo preenchem o essencial destas páginas que se cruzam e sobrepõem constituindo, à sua maneira, um só livro. Itinerários de uma autobiografia a interpretar-se e a construir-se, por entre ficções e realidades, lugares e circunstâncias, sinais e sombras. Sob uma aparente descontinuidade, desvenda-se um inconfundível encadeamento em termos de sentido e de presença.

Romance perturbador, "Inventário da Sombra" é um espelho fiel de um tempo sombrio, no qual o homem é condenado a expiar culpas suas e de outrem, sem remissão possível. Álvaro Cardoso Gomes, ao tecer esta polifonia do absurdo, consegue fundir o passado mítico aos mitos degradados da contemporaneidade, fazendo que Homero e Beckett dêem-se as mãos, para construir uma tragédia imitativa baixa. E para colaborar e dar vazão a esse enredo do absurdo, a linguagem impregna-se de efeitos retóricos que tornam a prosa mais maleável, pronta a expressar cintilâncias, fulgurações. Mesclando estilos, desde o prosaísmo mais banal, que compreende, entre outras modalidades, o tom oral, a gíria, os termos baixos da escatologia, até a linguagem mais castiça e o inefável da poesia, o discurso do romance é, assim, originalíssimo por sua abrangência. É isso que se espera de um grande romance: a dissonância de um discurso que não quer apenas criar um simulacro do mundo, mas, pelo contrário, oferecer fragmentos dispersos de mundos, como a mimetizar o paroxismo da era contemporânea.

Victor Rios has a vibrant reputation as America s leading ethnographer of Latino youth. His personal storygoing from drug pusher (selling heroin on the streets as a teenager) to a hard worker at a mechanic shop within a matter of weeksshows how he stands in the place of the Latino youths he studies. His story underscores the degree to which delinquent urban youths can become adaptable, fluid, amenable individuals, able to shift their views of the world as well as their actions. Rios rejects the old storyline that said gangs are bad and they do bad things because they are bad people. Kids on the street, he argues, can drift between different identities, indeed, they can shift seamlessly between responsible and deviant displays within a few hours time. The key to understanding gang-associated youth lies in analysis of the way authority figures (teachers and police officers) interact with young people. The kids need caring adults who offer tangible resources. Story and characters are always front-and-center in Rios s narrative: Jorge, Mark, Wilson, and others, are boys we get to know as they negotiate day-to-day life on the streets and across institutional settings. We learn a great deal about Cholo subculture, the clothing and hairstyles, and the argot that are adopted by Latino youth in response to the forces that seek to marginalize or punish them. The crisis of a perceived epidemic of police brutality in our post-Ferguson era is a product of culture in Rios s view: contested symbols, negative interactions, and day-to-day encounters that freeze youth identities as gang-associated, and that freeze authority identities as negative shapers of youth attitudes and actions are the dynamic. Fear of young males of color leads to police misreading and dehumanizing of young black and Latino men. Rios raises our awareness of how this dynamic operates by studying his subjects whole: following young gang members into their schools, their homes, their community organizations, their detention facilities, and watching them interact with police, watching them grow up to become fathers, get jobs, get rap sheets. Get killed. This book will be a landmark contribution to the social psychology of poverty and crime."

Inspired by a real event, this is the story of a woman and a city that were violated. It is 2014. There is euphoria in Brazil, especially in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The World Cup is about to take place, and the 2016 Olympics are in sight. It is a time of hope and of frenzied construction. Júlia is a partner with an architecture firm that is planning projects for the future Vila Olímpica. During a break from one of these meetings at the town hall, Júlia goes for a run in Alto da Boa Vista. Suddenly, someone puts a revolver to her head, takes her to a secluded spot, and rapes her. Left abandoned in the woods, she drags herself home, where her boyfriend and some family members wait for her. Vista Chinesa brings light and shadow to a city whose stunning beauty cannot conceal the most serious human and political problems. This is a novel that turns a tragic, real chapter in the story of a woman into great literature.
