Vencedor do Prémio Literário Manuel de Boaventura 2021 Diogo Santiago é um prestigiado e respeitado intelectual moçambicano. Professor universitário em Maputo, poeta, desloca-se pela primeira vez em muitos anos à sua terra natal, a cidade da Beira, nas vésperas do ciclone que a arrasou em 2019, para receber uma homenagem que os seus concidadãos lhe querem prestar. Mas o regresso à Beira é também, e talvez para ele seja sobretudo, o regresso a um passado longínquo, à sua infância e juventude, quando ainda Moçambique era uma colónia portuguesa. Menino branco, é filho de um pai jornalista e sobretudo poeta, e de uma mãe toda sentido prático e completamente terra-a-terra. Do pai recorda o que viveu com ele: duas viagens ao local de terríveis massacres cometidos pela tropa colonial, a sua perseguição e prisão pela PIDE, mas sobretudo, e em tudo isto, o seu amor pela poesia. Mas recorda também, entre os vivos, o criado Benedito (agora dirigente da FRELIMO) e o seu irmão Jerónimo Fungai, morto a tiro nos braços da sua amada, a bela e infeliz Mariana Sarmento, o farmacêutico Natalino Fernandes, o inspector da PIDE Óscar Campos, a tenaz e poderosa Maniara, e muitos outros; e de entre os mortos sobressaem o régulo Capitine, que vê uma mulher a voar.

La última y premiada novela de «uno de los escritores contemporáneos más importantes de África» (Henning Mankell), traducido a treinta idiomas y ganador del Premio Camões y el Premio Internacional Neustadt de Literatura «Una de las mejores obras del autor y uno de los grandes libros del año». Revista Bica Diogo Santiago, un prestigioso intelectual mozambiqueño, regresa tras años de ausencia a Beira, su ciudad natal, para recibir un homenaje. Allí conoce a Liana Campos, una mujer magnética y misteriosa con la que comparte un pasado aún por desentrañar. En el proceso, Diogo rememora el viaje que hizo con su padre a Inhaminga, territorio ocupado por las tropas coloniales portuguesas, en busca de un familiar desaparecido, y la huella de ese primer encuentro con la miseria y la guerra. Los recuerdos lo llevarán a perfilar la figura de su padre, poeta, mujeriego pero lleno de lealtad y coraje; la de su madre, impregnada por los versos de su marido, y las de otros personajes de infancia que lo ayudarán a iluminar sus propios enigmas. Sin proponérselo, Diogo servirá de apoyo a Liana en su cruzada por hallar las verdades de su historia, que comienza con una mujer cayendo al vacío desde lo alto de un edificio. Acompañándolos como un personaje más, la inminente presencia de un ciclón terminará de sacudir los cimientos del pasado de ambos. La crítica ha dicho... «Si eres un verdadero fan de la lectura, [...] este verano puede ser el momento de descubrir a Mia Couto, uno de los autores africanos más importantes de la actualidad. [...] Advertimos de que [El mapeador de ausencias] te fascinará y, una vez descubierto, lo recomendarás, releerás y buscarás otros libros del autor». Begoña Alonso y Amaya Ascunce, Elle «Mia Couto, el niño que cambió su nombre para imitar los maullidos de los gatos con los que creció, el biólogo que escogió las palabras para relacionarse con la biosfera, combina como nadie la alta literatura (suena hace años a Premio Nobel) con un estilo sencillo que seduce a las masas». Bernardo Gutiérrez, El Periódico de España «Una novela laberíntica en la que cada uno de los personajes tiene un itinerario complejo, engarzado en el de los demás, que Couto va desplegando de forma paulatina». Pablo-Ignacio de Dalmases, Catalunya Press «Uno de los escritores contemporáneos más importantes de África». Henning Mankell «Una narrativa de elevada madurez literaria que, con una sensibilidad particular, consigue cruzar épocas distintas de la realidad mozambiqueña, ofreciendo al lector una expresiva representación del país en los periodos colonial y poscolonial». Jurado del Premio Literario Manuel de Boaventura «Una de las novelasmás emocionantes que ha publicado en su carrera el escritor mozambiqueño». João Céu e Silva, Diário de Noticias «La recomiendo vehementemente». Louise Xavier, Brasil de Fato «Un viaje poderosoen dos tiempos [...]. Un tapiz exquisito, un réquiem habitado por personajes inolvidables». Silvia Souto Cunha, Sapo «Leer a Couto es escuchar una música acompasada y grata, sin altisonancias ni estridencias que interrumpan una cadencia llena de vigor». Berna González Harbour, Babelia «Couto es un artesano de una lengua clásica, precisa y sobria. Seapropia del portugués para reinventarlo. Crea un modelo narrativo nuevo». Sebastián Lapaque, Le Monde Diplomatique «Su escritura hechiza al lector». Maike Albath, Deutschlandradio Kultur «La obra de Mia Couto es de las que de verdad cuentan». La Quinzaine

A dark, poetic mystery about the women of the remote village of Kulumani and the lionesses that hunt them Told through two haunting, interwoven diaries, Mia Couto's Confession of the Lioness reveals the mysterious world of Kulumani, an isolated village in Mozambique whose traditions and beliefs are threatened when ghostlike lionesses begin hunting the women who live there. Mariamar, a woman whose sister was killed in a lioness attack, finds her life thrown into chaos when the outsider Archangel Bullseye, the marksman hired to kill the lionesses, arrives at the request of the village elders. Mariamar's father imprisons her in her home, where she relives painful memories of past abuse and hopes to be rescued by Archangel. Meanwhile, Archangel tracks the lionesses in the wilderness, but when he begins to suspect there is more to them than meets the eye, he starts to lose control of his hands. The hunt grows more dangerous, until it's no safer inside Kulumani than outside it. As the men of Kulumani feel increasingly threatened by the outsider, the forces of modernity upon their traditional culture, and the danger of their animal predators closing in, it becomes clear the lionesses might not be real lionesses at all but spirits conjured by the ancient witchcraft of the women themselves. Both a riveting mystery and a poignant examination of women's oppression, Confession of the Lioness explores the confrontation between the modern world and ancient traditions to produce an atmospheric, gripping novel.

A RADIO FRANCE-CULTURE/TÉLÉRAMA BEST WORK OF FICTION BY THE WINNER OF THE 2013 CAMÕES PRIZE AND THE WINNER OF THE 2014 NEUSTADT PRIZE “Quite unlike anything else I have read from Africa.""—Doris Lessing “By meshing the richness of African beliefs . . . into the Western framework of the novel, he creates a mysterious and surreal epic.”—Henning Mankell Mwanito was eleven when he saw a woman for the first time, and the sight so surprised him he burst into tears. Mwanito has been living in a former big-game park for eight years. The only people he knows are his father, his brother, an uncle, and a servant. He’s been told that the rest of the world is dead, that all roads are sad, that they wait for an apology from God. In the place his father calls Jezoosalem, Mwanito has been told that crying and praying are the same thing. Both, it seems, are forbidden. The eighth novel by the internationally bestselling Mia Couto, The Tuner of Silences is the story of Mwanito’s struggle to reconstruct a family history that his father is unable to discuss. With the young woman’s arrival in Jezoosalem, however, the silence of the past quickly breaks down, and both his father’s story and the world are heard once more. The Tuner of Silences has been published to acclaim in more than half a dozen countries. Now in its first English translation, this story of an African boy's quest for the truth endures as a magical, humanizing confrontation between one child and the legacy of war.

'A man's story is always badly told. That's because a person never stops being born. Nobody leads one sole life, we are all multiplied into different and ever-changeable men.' So it is with all the stories in this collection, which never make a definitive judgement on the individual life, but only suggest its possibilities. Set in Mozambique, the stories reflect the legacy of Portuguese colonialism and the tragedy of the subsequent civil war. Mia Couto's first collection, Voices Made Night, was described as 'lyrical', 'magical' and 'compassionate' by the reviewers, who were unanimous in identifying a significant new talent from the continent. This volume confirms that judgement.

"Mariano, who has lived in the city from an early age, is summoned back to his village to attend his grandfather's funeral. But when he arrives, he discovers two things: firstly, that he has been nominated by his grandfather to take over the running of the family affairs, secondly that his grandfather has not died completely, but is in that frontier space between life and death. In traditional belief, he has died 'badly', and something must happen in order for him to be laid to rest." "Mariano starts to receive letters supposedly written by his grandfather, telling him about the family. Through this strange relationship, he discovers the true secret of his own birth, while also cleansing his grandfather's conscience."--BOOK JACKET.

"Ingenious, consistently taut and witty" TLS Strange, elliptical, charming" Guardian Set in contemporary Angola, this novel is populated with characters whose victories never quite settle. Like any one of us, they can forget things that have happened to them, and remember things that never did. Theirs is a world where the truth seems to shift from moment to moment, where history itself is up for grabs. Agualusa's slippery narrator takes us on a vivid and enthralling journey across the shifting landscape of memory and history, and - from his unique perspective - reveals a breathtaking love story too.

A landmark translation of passionate, fiercely intelligent poetry about coming of age by one of the most influential Italian writers of the 20th Century. Cesare Pavese’s 1936 collection of poems, Lavorare stanca, is increasingly regarded as one of the most astonishing and powerful books of twentieth-century poetry. William Arrowsmith’s translations, accompanied here by the original Italian lyrics, capture the spirit and complex vitality of Pavese’s voice. This edition also contains a thorough introduction to Pavese’s work, notes to individual poems, and two critical essays that Pavese wrote about Lavorare stanca, the book by which he hoped to be remembered. “Lavorare stanca,” Pavese once declared, “is a book that might have saved a generation.”
