A obra Os Náufragos que Vieram de Longe pelo Mar Azul e Largo (A Saga de Caramuru, Paraguaçú e Bocaetaba) conta a estória de um piloto português que naufragou na costa da Bahia (na altura do Arraial do Rio Vermelho) juntamente com Diogo Álvares Correia, o Caramuru, (Viana do Castelo ou Galiza, 1475? ou 1485? - Tapuapara, Salvador, 05.10.1557), sendo ambos salvos de serem executados pelos indígenas tupinambás e que viveram com as filhas, legítimas e adotadas, do cacique Taparica e de outros líderes de tribo, principalmente com Catarina Álvares Paraguaçú. Ao contrário de muitos textos literários, do seriado da televisão e do filme, a obra respeita os fatos narrados no trabalho literário Caramuru, poema épico do descobrimento da Bahia, escrito pelo teólogo Frei José de Santa Rita Durão no século XVIII, apesar de ser essencialmente uma harmonização entre ficção e lenda.A obra Os Náufragos que Vieram de Longe pelo Mar Azul e Largo (A Saga de Caramuru, Paraguaçú e Bocaetaba) é do gênero "romance histórico" que preza a ideia de conciliação racial que se situa no centro da lenda de Caramuru e da cabocla Catarina Álvares Paraguaçú. Isto não quer dizer desrespeito à reavaliação significativa que o mito Caramuru sofreu no século XIX, quando o romantismo e a ideologia liberal rejeitaram essa noção de conciliação racial, e o colocaram numa nova perspectiva histórica, mais alinhada com a realidade do Brasil colonial, uma realidade de conflito trágico, tirania política, escravidão e carnificina, a qual não se identificava com a noção da união harmoniosa entre o homem branco e o índio. No entanto entendemos que tal rigorosa reavaliação deve ficar restrita ao campo de estudo dos historiadores profissionais, assegurando ampla liberdade aos romancistas de poderem trabalhar com folga no vasto espaço existente entre a ficção e a realidade, ora se valendo de uma e ora respeitando outra. Tudo com o objetivo de melhor entreter o leitor, sem deixar de oferecer a ele oportunidade de travar importante e raro contato com os hábitos, costumes e outras peculiaridades do passado distante.

The Book of Disquiet is one of the great literary works of the twentieth century. Written over the course of Fernando Pessoa's life, it was first published in 1982, pieced together from the thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind by Pessoa after his death in 1935. Now this fragmentary modernist masterpiece appears in a major new edition that unites Margaret Jull Costa's celebrated translation with the most complete version of the text ever produced. It is presented here, for the first time in English, by order of original composition, and accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript. Narrated principally by an assistant bookkeeper named Bernardo Soares - an alias of sorts for Pessoa himself - The Book of Disquiet is 'the autobiobraphy of someone who never existed', a mosaic of dreams, of hope and despair; a hymn to the streets and cafs of 1930s Lisbon, and an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century's most important writers. This new edition represents the most complete vision of Pessoa's genius.

Journey to the Center of the Earth was published in 1864. Verne was fascinated with the northern and southern poles of Earth and as Arctic exploration was in its infancy in the mid-19th century, the unknown north was an ideal setting for the imaginative forays of science fiction, a new literary genre. Northern exploration was in the news and Verne was inspired to write a novel based on the premise that the center of the Earth is hollow. This annotated edition includes a biography and critical essay.

"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.

Along with The Posthumous Memoirs of Br?s Cubas and Dom Casmurro, Quincas Borba is one of Machado de Assis' major works and indeed one of the major works of nineteenth century fiction. With his uncannily postmodern sensibility, his delicious wit, and his keen insight into the political and social complexities of the Brazilian Empire, Machado opens a fascinating world to English speaking readers. When the mad philosopher Quincas Borba dies, he leaves to his friend Rubi?o the entirety of his wealth and property, with a single stipulation: Rubi?o must take care of Quincas Borba's dog, who is also named Quincas Borba, and who may indeed have assumed the soul of the dead philosopher. Flush with his newfound wealth, Rubi?o heads for Rio de Janeiro and plunges headlong into a world where fantasy and reality become increasingly difficult to keep separate. Brilliantly translated by Gregory Rabassa, Quincas Borba is a masterful satire not only on life in Imperial Brazil but the human condition itself.

In 1550 the German adventurer Hans Staden was serving as a gunner in a Portuguese fort on the Brazilian coast. While out hunting, he was captured by the Tupinambá, an indigenous people who had a reputation for engaging in ritual cannibalism and who, as allies of the French, were hostile to the Portuguese. Staden’s True History, first published in Germany in 1557, tells the story of his nine months among the Tupi Indians. It is a dramatic first-person account of his capture, captivity, and eventual escape. Staden’s narrative is a foundational text in the history and European “discovery” of Brazil, the earliest European account of the Tupi Indians, and a touchstone in the debates on cannibalism. Yet the last English-language edition of Staden’s True History was published in 1929. This new critical edition features a new translation from the sixteenth-century German along with annotations and an extensive introduction. It restores to the text the fifty-six woodcut illustrations of Staden’s adventures and final escape that appeared in the original 1557 edition. In the introduction, Neil L. Whitehead discusses the circumstances surrounding the production of Staden’s narrative and its ethnological significance, paying particular attention to contemporary debates about cannibalism. Whitehead illuminates the value of Staden’s True History as an eyewitness account of Tupi society on the eve before its collapse, of ritual war and sacrifice among Native peoples, and of colonial rivalries in the region of Rio de Janeiro. He chronicles the history of the various editions of Staden’s narrative and their reception from 1557 until the present. Staden’s work continues to engage a wide range of readers, not least within Brazil, where it has recently been the subject of two films and a graphic novel.
