Um romance de estreia eletrizante sobre o vínculo extraordinário entre duas garotas separadas pelas circunstâncias, mas implacáveis em sua busca pela amizade verdadeira. De todas as condições que promovem a exclusão social no mundo, há uma que é mais decisiva e muito mais difícil de ser "superada": ser mulher. Se esse simples fato ainda pode colocar, em pleno século XXI, mulheres maduras que tiveram acesso à educação, têm trajetórias profissionais bem-sucedidas e vivem em grandes centros urbanos do mundo em situações de extrema violência, que dirá duas adolescentes numa aldeia rural da Índia. No início deste romance, Poornima e Savitha ainda não se conhecem, mas têm as mesmas três características fundamentais contra elas: são pobres, têm muitos sonhos que sonham em realizar e ... nasceram mulheres. Após a morte da mãe, Poornima fica cuidando da casa e de seus irmãos mais novos, à espera de que seu pai consiga lhe encontrar um pretendente que o livre do fardo de ter uma filha mulher. Savitha é ainda mais pobre que Poornima e, já que não há mesmo nada a perder, ela toma a vida em suas próprias mãos e acaba se tornando uma garota alegre, curiosa, independente e perspicaz. Savitha e Poornima se tornam amigas, tecem juntas na charkha, a roda de fiar, e desejam escapar do que o destino lhes reserva: um casamento arranjado e a maternidade em série. De repente, a aldeia isolada onde as duas moram já não parece tão claustrofóbica assim, e elas começam a imaginar que há um mundo possível, para além de todos os limites e restrições que lhes são impostos. O que elas ainda não sabem é que a crueldade se esconde em todos os recantos desse mesmo mundo que elas tanto desejam abraçar.

When handsome young Dorian Gray sees a painter’s stunning portrait of him, he is transfixed by its reflection of his own beauty. He is also troubled by the knowledge that the image in the painting will remain forever youthful and handsome while he himself will grow older and less desirable. He wishes aloud that the roles were reversed, saying that he would give his soul if only the painting would suffer the ravages of time and he were to remain forever young. From that point on, Dorian lives a life of hedonistic indulgence, knowing that only the painting will show his moral corruption.

"On almost every page of this witty magical realist whodunit, we sense Couto's delight on those places where language slips officialdom's asphyxiating grasp."--The New York Times Book Review on The Last Flight of the Flamingo "The most prominent of the younger generation of writers in Portuguese-speaking Africa, Couto passionately and sensitively describes everyday life in poverty-stricken Mozambique."--Guardian (London) "Quite unlike anything else I have read from Africa."--Doris Lessing As the civil war rages in 1980s Mozambique, an old man and a young boy, refugees from the war, seek shelter in a burnt-out bus. Among the effects of a dead passenger, they come across a set of notebooks that tell of his life. As the boy reads the story to his elderly companion, this story and their own develop in tandem. Written in 1992, Mia Couto's first novel is a powerful indictment of the suffering war brings. Born in 1955 in Mozambique, Mia Couto ran the AIM news agency during the revolutionary struggle. He now lives in Maputo where he works as an environmental biologist and heads the Mozambique side of the Limpopo Transnational Park. In 2007 he was the first African author to win the Latin Union Award for Romance Languages; in 2013 he was awarded the 100,000 Camoes Prize for Literature, in recognition of his life's work. In 2014 he received the $50,000 Neustadt Prize for Literature, and in 2015 he was shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize.

Sérgio Buarque de Holanda's Roots of Brazil is one of the iconic books on Brazilian history, society, and culture. Originally published in 1936, it appears here for the first time in an English language translation with a foreword, "Why Read Roots of Brazil Today?" by Pedro Meira Monteiro, one of the world's leading experts on Buarque de Holanda. Roots of Brazil focuses on the multiple cultural influences that forged twentieth-century Brazil, especially those of the Portuguese, the Spanish, other European colonists, Native Americans, and Africans. Buarque de Holanda argues that all of these originary influences were transformed into a unique Brazilian culture and society—a "transition zone." The book presents an understanding of why and how European culture flourished in a large, tropical environment that was totally foreign to its traditions, and the manner and consequences of this development. Buarque de Holanda uses Max Weber’s typological criteria to establish pairs of "ideal types" as a means of stressing particular characteristics of Brazilians, while also trying to understand and explain the local historical process. Along with other early twentieth-century works such as The Masters and the Slaves by Gilberto Freyre and The Colonial Background of Modern Brazil by Caio Prado Júnior, Roots of Brazil set the parameters of Brazilian historiography for a generation and continues to offer keys to understanding the complex history of Brazil. Roots of Brazil has been published in Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, German, and French. This long-awaited English translation will interest students and scholars of Portuguese, Brazilian, and Latin American history, culture, literature, and postcolonial studies.
