Em Um cisne selvagem e outras histórias, sombrios contos de fada são reimaginados pelo premiado autor vencedor do Prêmio Pulitzer Michael Cunningham, e ricamente ilustrados por Yuko Shimizu. Uma maçã envenenada e uma pata de macaco que têm o poder de mudar o destino; uma menina cujos cabelos extraordinariamente compridos são responsáveis por uma catástrofe; um homem com um braço humano e uma asa de cisne; e uma casa, bem nos confins da floresta, feita de confeitos de goma e biscoito de gengibre, glacê de baunilha e açúcar cozido. Em Um cisne selvagem e outras histórias, os habitantes e talismãs de terras distantes, muito distantes – as figuras míticas de nossa infância –, se veem transformados pelo premiado autor Michael Cunningham em histórias de sublime revelação. Aqui estão os momentos que esqueceram de nos contar ou deliberadamente ocultaram nos contos de fadas: os anos posteriores à quebra de um feitiço, o instante arrebatador em que um milagre é concretizado e o destino de um príncipe curado só pela metade de uma maldição. Há também a história do homenzinho com um talento especial que trama para conseguir um filho. E o preguiçoso João, que prefere viver no porão de sua mãe a correr atrás de um emprego, até o dia em que troca uma vaca por um punhado de feijões mágicos. Reimaginados por um dos mais talentosos contadores de histórias da sua geração e ilustrados com delicadeza por Yuko Shimizu – em um estilo que lembra Aubrey Beardsley com um toque de Maurice Sendak –, os contos da hora de dormir nunca foram tão sombrios, perversos e realistas. "Cunningham reconta de modo elegante e ousado dez contos de fadas clássicos, intensificando o mistério inquietante das versões originais. As notáveis ilustrações em preto e branco de Yuko Shimizu constituem um contraponto visual adequado a esta coletânea simultaneamente sombria e maravilhosa." Publishers Weekly

CHARNECA EM FLOR Enche o meu peito, num encanto mago, O frêmito das coisas dolorosas... Sob as urzes queimadas nascem rosas... Nos meus olhos as lágrimas apago... Anseio! Asas abertas! O que trago Em mim? Eu oiço bocas silenciosas Murmurar-me as palavras misteriosas Que perturbam meu ser como um afago! E nesta febre ansiosa que me invade, Dispo a minha mortalha, o meu burel, E, já não sou, Amor, Sóror Saudade Olhos a arder em êxtases de amor, Boca a saber a sol, a fruto, a mel: Sou a charneca rude a abrir em flor!

This book, originally published in 1987, is a socio-cultural analysis of a tropical belle epoque: Rio de Janeiro between 1898 and 1914. It relates how the city's elite evolved from the semi-rural, slave-owning patriarchy of the coffee-port seat of a monarchy into an urbane, professional, rentier upper crust dominating the centre of a 'modernising' oligarchical republic. It explores such varied topics as architecture, literature, prostitution, urban reform, the family, secondary schools, and the salon. It evokes a milieu increasingly marked by Europe, demonstrating how French and English culture permeated the lives of elite members who adapted it to their needs and perspectives as a dominant stratum of relatively recent and varied origin. This exploration of cultural 'dependency' in a unique, cosmopolitan, fin-de-siecle urban culture will also interest those concerned with the broader questions of culture and colonialism during the high tide of European imperialism.

Here Howard Becker makes available for an English-speaking audience a collection of the provocative work of Antonio Candido, one of the leading men of letters in Brazil. Trained as a sociologist, Candido conceives of literature as a social project and is equally at home in textual analyses, discussions of literary theory, and sociological, anthropological, and historical argument. It would be impossible to overstate his impact on the intellectual life of his own country, and on Latin American scholars who can read Portuguese, but he is little known in the rest of the world. In literary, women's, and cultural studies, as well as in sociology, this book contributes a sophisticated and unusual perspective that will dazzle readers unfamiliar with Candido's work. Emphasizing the breadth of Candido's interests, the essays include those on European literature (Dumas, Conrad, Kafka, and Cavafy, for example), on Brazilian literature (Machado de Assis and others), on Brazilian cultural life and politics, and on general problems of criticism (the relations between sociology and criticism, and the problem of literature in underdeveloped countries). Of particular interest is a long piece on Teresina Carini Rocchi, an Italian immigrant to Brazil, who was a lifelong socialist. Originally published in 1995. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The 120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade relates the story of four wealthy men who enslave 24 mostly teenaged victims and sexually torture them while listening to stories told by old prostitutes. The book was written while Sade was imprisoned in the Bastille and the manuscript was lost during the storming of the Bastille. Sade wrote that he "wept tears of blood" over the manuscript's loss.

Welcome to São Paulo, Brazil, in the not too distant future. Water is scarce, garbage clogs the city, movement is restricted, and the System—sinister, omnipotent, secret—rules its subjects' every moment and thought. Here, middle-aged Souza lives a meaningless life in a world where the future is doomed and all memory of the past is forbidden. A classic novel of "dystopia," looking back to Orwell's 1984 and forward to Terry Gilliam's Brazil, And Still the Earth stands with Loyola Brandão's Zero as one of the author's greatest, and darkest, achievements.
