Da curiosidade, da singularidade e da profícua imaginação popular nasceram a maioria das histórias que povoam a nossa tradição oral. Transmitidas de boca em boca e depois de geração em geração até aos dias de hoje, as histórias de fantasmas, bruxas e antigos heróis - que ninguém sabe ao certo se realmente existiram - tornaram-se parte imprescindível da identidade de uma comunidade. Num país onde é quase impossível encontrar uma aldeia ou encruzilhada que não tenha uma lenda povoada de detalhes misteriosos e criaturas sobrenaturais - nem que seja um simples "bicho papão" para amedrontar os forasteiros -, Pelos Caminhos Assombrados de Portugal, o novo livro da jornalista Vanessa Fidalgo, propõe uma visita a muitos dos cantos e recantos de Portugal onde a memória popular não falhou e onde, sem receios nem vergonhas, há um povo que continua a identificar-se com a sua história, as suas tradições populares e a mais peculiar herança dos seus antepassados: o seu património oral.

Are we on the brink of a new Dark Age of irrationality and superstition? In this book, the writer shows how scientific thinking is necessary to safeguard our democratic institutions and our technical civilization. This book is more personal and richer in moving and revealing human stories than anything the author has previously written. With illustrations from his own childhood experience as well as engrossing tales of discovery, he shows how the method of scientific thought can cut through prejudice and hysteria to uncover the often surprising truth. He convincingly debunks "alien abduction," "channelers," faith-healer fraud, the "face" on Mars, and much else. Along the way, he refutes the arguments that science destroys spirituality or is just another arbitrary belief system, asks why scientific study is often stigmatized, discusses the dangers of the misuse of science, and provides a "baloney detection kit" for thinking through political, social, religious, and other issues. -- Jacket

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER FROM PABLO ESCOBAR’S SON Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of the most infamous drug lord of all time, Pablo Escobar – from books to film to the cult series ‘Narcos’. But these versions have always been told from the outside, only capturing half the truth, and never from the intimacy of his own home. Now, more than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with Escobar, his son brings us the dramatic truth as never before. Here we find a man of contradictions – generosity and infinite love for his family; yet capable of the most extreme acts of cruelty and violence. In a deeply personal exploration of his father, we see the inner world of a man who was celebrated by some as a benevolent Robin Hood figure and by others, as a dangerous leader of the most ruthless mafia organisation in human history, reaping vengeance and death on anyone that might stand in his way. When Escobar died, his then teenage son vowed revenge. But Escobar Jr. quickly recognised that meant following in his father's footsteps—something neither of them had ever wanted. With his change of heart, he denounced the Pablo Escobar legacy. This is far from the story of a child seeking redemption, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and his attempt to come to terms with it.

Along with The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás 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 Rubião the entirety of his wealth and property, with a single stipulation: Rubião 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, Rubião 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.

Kniha nabízí rozbor prozaické tvorby portugalských spisovatelů Branquinha da Fonseky (1905–1974) a Domingose Monteira (1903–1980) z hlediska modality „neobvyklého“, známé v románských jazycích pod termínem „insólito” (fr. insolite). Teoretické vymezení konceptu se inspiruje především výzkumem brazilských badatelů, pro něž se jedná o modalitu sloužící k literárnímu vyjádření něčeho mimořádného, nadpřirozeného či nepřirozeného, jehož účinkem je údiv, strach, nejistota či neklid. Současně se zde přihlíží k vymezení kategorie „neobvyklého“ coby všeho ne-typického. Všechny představené prózy vynikají určitým stupněm neobvyklosti: jedná se o inspiraci folklorem (motivy přízraku, bílého vlka a pokladu), obrazy dvojnictví, paranormální jevy a motivy děsivé džungle či strašidelného domu. Zatímco dílo Branquinha da Fonseky je již nějakou dobu v Portugalsku poměrně známé, tvorba Domingose Monteira není v současnosti dostatečně zpracována. Tato kniha si tudíž klade za cíl dílo tohoto rodáka z provincie Trás-os-Montes jednak detailněji popsat a analyzovat, jednak postavit vedle díla Branquinha da Fonseky. Kniha rovněž přispívá ke studiu tvorby Branquinha da Fonseky z perspektivy, která prozatím nebyla podrobněji zkoumána.

Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence? Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Korea, to take just one of their fascinating examples, is a remarkably homogeneous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people. Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories. Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: - China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? - Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? - What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? More philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions? Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world.

Imagine a sustainable world, run on clean and renewable energies that are less aggressive to the environment. Now imagine humanity under the impact of these changes. This is the premise Brazilian editor Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro proposed, and these authors took the challenge to envision hopeful futures and alternate histories. The stories in this anthology explore terrorism against green corporations, large space ships propelled by the pressure of solar radiation, the advent of photosynthetic humans, and how different society might be if we had switched to renewable energies much earlier in history. Originally published in Brazil and translated for the first time from the Portuguese by Fábio Fernandes, this anthology of optimistic science fiction features nine authors from Brazil and Portugal including Carlos Orsi, Telmo Marçal, Romeu Martins, Antonio Luiz M. Costa, Gabriel Cantareira, Daniel I. Dutra, André S. Silva, Roberta Spindler, and Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro.
