Em O fabuloso e triste destino de Ivan e Ivana, Maryse Condé narra a história de gêmeos unidos por uma força inexplicável e um amor único. A edição brasileira conta ainda com prefácio da filósofa e feminista negra Djamila Ribeiro. Ivan e Ivana são irmãos gêmeos tão parecidos, que um olhar desavisado é capaz de confundi-los. Quando nasceram, em Dos d'Âne, um vilarejo pobre em Guadalupe, a pequena ilha caribenha, trouxeram alegrias infinitas à sua mãe, Simone, já acostumada ao advento de múltiplos em sua família. Inseparáveis, eles desfrutam das delícias do mundo nos primeiros anos de vida: o mar, a areia, a música e os carinhos. O tempo, porém, deixou marcas muito diferentes em cada um. Ivana logo se revela doce e servil – sonha em ser enfermeira ou policial para ajudar as pessoas. Ivan, por outro lado, se revolta com a condição em que vê a si e aos seus – a miséria e o racismo lhe ferem fundo, e ele não consegue compreender por que o mundo é assim. Apesar da distância que se cria entre eles, o amor dos irmãos é tão forte que assusta e chega até mesmo a levantar suspeitas. O destino dos dois é desenhado entre o fatal e o arbitrário. Quais os caminhos que uma única alma em dois corpos pode traçar? Quais escolhas delineiam as consequências de nossos atos? E quais fatores fogem do nosso controle? Quantas versões cabem em uma história? Maryse Condé, a premiada escritora caribenha, alia o maravilhoso e o trágico nestas páginas ao misturar a vida singular a grandes questões globais. A autora trata com lirismo temas como racismo, sexismo, desigualdades sociais e econômicas, migração e terrorismo jihadista. O caos contemporâneo emerge entre dúvida, fé, violência e amor. Um livro fabuloso e triste para ressoar em todos – mesmo muito depois terminadas suas páginas. "Este universo ficcional prodigioso de Maryse Condé está fundado em um radical e criativo desprezo aos vínculos geográficos, religiosos, históricos, raciais e de gênero. Conforme acompanhamos os gêmeos em sua jornada fatal do Caribe à África e à Europa, aprendemos sobre amor, felicidade, calamidade e, por fim, sobre a sobrevivência da esperança." - Angela Davis "Nunca li algo tão forte e cheio de paixão, tão terno e brutal. Maryse Condé é uma das melhores escritoras do mundo." - Junot Díaz, autor de A fantástica vida breve de Oscar Wao "Com essa história de um jovem de Guadalupe que se vê persuadido pelo chamado da jihad, Condé escreveu um dos mais romances mais impressionantes dos últimos anos, que, sem dúvida, ressoa sobre os problemas de nosso tempo." - Le Monde "Maryse Condé tem o dom de contar histórias com uma fé inabalável em seus personagens e com um senso de humor mordaz." - New York Times

Possessing one of the most vital voices in international letters, Maryse Condé added to an already acclaimed career the New Academy Prize in Literature in 2018. The twelfth novel by this celebrated author revolves around an enigmatic crime and the young man at its center. Dieudonné Sabrina, a gardener, aged twenty-two and black, is accused of murdering his employer--and lover--Loraine, a wealthy white woman descended from plantation owners. His only refuge is a sailboat, La Belle Créole, a relic of times gone by. Condé follows Dieudonné’s desperate wanderings through the city of Port-Mahault the night of his acquittal, the narrative unfolding through a series of multivoiced flashbacks set against a forbidding backdrop of social disintegration and tumultuous labor strikes in turn-of-the-twenty-first-century Guadeloupe. Twenty-four hours later, Dieudonné’s fate becomes suggestively intertwined with that of the French island itself, though the future of both remains uncertain in the end. Echoes of Faulkner and Lawrence, and even Shakespeare’s Othello, resonate in this tale, yet the drama’s uniquely modern dynamics set it apart from any model in its exploration of love and hate, politics and stereotype, and the attempt to find connections with others across barriers. Through her vividly and intimately drawn characters, Condé paints a rich portrait of a contemporary society grappling with the heritage of slavery, racism, and colonization.

A fierce fantasy sequel full of sisterhood, heart-pounding action, betrayal, and royal intrigue, perfect for fans of The Belles and Caraval. When the new, brutal Superior banishes Nomi from Bellaqua, she finds herself powerless and headed towards her all-but-certain death. Her only hope is to find her sister, Serina, on the prison island of Mount Ruin. But when Nomi arrives, it is not the island of conquered, broken women that they expected. It is an island in the grip of revolution, and Serina--polite, submissive Serina--is its leader. Betrayal, grief, and violence have changed both sisters, and the women of Mount Ruin have their sights set on revenge beyond the confines of their island prison. They plan to sweep across the entire kingdom, issuing in a new age of freedom for all. But first they'll have to get rid of the new Superior, and only Nomi knows how. Separated once again, this time by choice, Nomi and Serina must forge their own paths as they aim to tear down the world they know, and build something better in its place. The stakes are higher and the battles bolder in Tracy Banghart's unputdownable sequel to Grace and Fury.

Finalist for the 2021 PEN Translation Prize A Best Translation of the Year at World Literature Today That Hair is a family album of sorts that touches upon the universal subjects of racism, feminism, colonialism, immigration, identity and memory. “The story of my curly hair,” says Mila, the narrator of Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida’s autobiographically inspired tragicomedy, “intersects with the story of at least two countries and, by extension, the underlying story of the relations among several continents: a geopolitics.” Mila is the Luanda-born daughter of a black Angolan mother and a white Portuguese father. She arrives in Lisbon at the tender age of three, and feels like an outsider from the jump. Through the lens of young Mila’s indomitably curly hair, her story interweaves memories of childhood and adolescence, family lore spanning four generations, and present-day reflections on the internal and external tensions of a European and African identity. In layered and luscious prose, That Hair enriches and deepens a global conversation, challenging in necessary ways our understanding of racism, feminism, and the double inheritance of colonialism, not yet fifty years removed from Angola’s independence. It’s the story of coming of age as a black woman in a nation at the edge of Europe that is also rapidly changing, of being considered an outsider in one’s own country, and the impossibility of “returning” to a homeland one doesn’t in fact know.

A powerfully redemptive novel about one woman's search for herself--from Guadeloupe to France to the United States Ranelise is a cook in the small village of La Pointe in Guadeloupe where she rescues a teenage girl from suicide by drowning. The girl, Reynalda Titane, lives at the local jeweler's grand house where her mother, Nina, is a maid. Reynalda is pregnant and in a state of despair. Ranelise cares for her and the child, christened Marie-Noelle, but Reynalda soon flees to France, intent upon getting the education to allow her to rise above her mother's fate. Desirada is the story of Marie-Noelle and her quest to understand the mother who abandoned her, and discover the identity of her father, despite the opposing stories from her mother and her grandmother. It is also the story of generations of island women and the pursuit of a meaningful life despite a tainted personal history. Desirada was awarded the prestigious Prix Carbet de la Caraibe in 1998 given for the best book by a Caribbean author. It is Ms. Conde's twelfth novel.

For nearly four decades, Maryse Condé, best known for her novels Segu and Windward Heights, has been at the forefront of French Caribbean literature. In this collection of essays and lectures, written over many years and in response to the challenges posed by a changing world, she reflects on the ideas and histories that have moved her. From the use of French as her literary language--despite its colonial history--to the agonies of the Middle Passage, at the horrors of African dictatorship, and the politically induced poverty of the Caribbean to migration under globalization, Condé casts her unflinching eye over the world which is her inheritance, her burden, and her future. Even while paying homage to her intellectual and literary influences--including Frantz Fanon, Leopold Sedar Senghor, and Aimé Césaire--Condé establishes in these pages the singularity of her vision and the reason for the enormous admiration that her writing has garnered from readers and critics alike.
