    Sold out

    Author: Luciany Aparecida, Language: Portuguese,

    No primeiro romance que assina com o próprio nome, Luciany Aparecida narra, com uma prosa lírica e de força singular, os trágicos acontecimentos que cercam um pequeno vilarejo rural no interior da Bahia.

    Maria Teresa vive com as suas mães num casarão antigo, cheio de histórias dos seus antepassados, de frente para um lajedo de pedra. Pelo peitoril, corre um roseiral, apenas com rosas brancas, e, no caminho diante da casa, passam personagens memoráveis: Mané da Gaita, músico e vendedor de doce, e a sua cadela Chula; Lai, ex-prostituta e a sua madrinha; os gémeos Cícero e António, filhos do dono da venda; Toni de Maximiliana, vaqueiro matador de gado, filho da sacerdotisa Mãe Maximiliana dos Santos; e Zezito, único filho homem de Luzia, e por quem Maria Teresa se apaixona e com quem planeia casar.

    Ao experimentar o vestido de noiva num sábado de festa, um dia antes do casamento, uma tragédia envolvendo um fazendeiro violento e arbitrário atinge Maria Teresa e muda a sua vida para sempre.

    Narrando o drama que se torna central, ela vai pouco a pouco revelando ao leitor os sentimentos mais profundos dos que habitam Mata Doce. Surgem então, numa delicada costura narrativa, antigas brigas familiares, segredos do passado, sentimentos clandestinos e muitos mistérios.

    Mata Doce é um romance épico, delicado e poderoso, que entrelaça passado e presente numa obra majestosa, e desde já um marco da literatura brasileira contemporânea.

    Meet the Tugas

    Sold out

    Christopher Jones arrived in Portugal as one of hundreds of thousands of expats and stayed to write the book some of them needed.

    Meet the Tugas is a three-year road trip through the country's history, landscape, and soul - from the fortresses of the Minho built to keep the Spanish out, to the Azorean volcanoes that nearly kept Jones himself from returning.

    Along the way, he covers thousand of years of invasions, empires, earthquakes, and revolutions with the enthusiasm of a convert and the deadpan timing of someone who once ate two hundred snails and paused to calculate the protein.

    The humour is constant and disarming - monks improve Roman wine by deciding the blood of Christ tastes better at a lower proof; sandwiches are frantically assembled with frozen butter atop a volcano.

    But beneath the wit sits serious research and genuine affection. This is travel writing that makes you laugh, then makes you book a flight.

    Memórias Minhas

    $49.00

    Author: Manuel Alegre, Language: Portuguese

    «Memórias Minhas é um deslumbrante caminhar por dias e lugares que se cruzam com tempos únicos da nossa história contemporânea. Uma vida – uma geração – a rebeldia, a resistência, a guerra, a cadeia, o exílio, a Voz da Liberdade, a festa dos verdes anos, amores e desamores. E ainda, desde o luminoso 25 de Abril que mudou o destino, os combates longos, duros, conflituantes, que esculpiram a identidade da democracia constitucional. E o depois, nas curvas e contracurvas da mudança, do parlamento, da candidatura presidencial.

    Memórias Minhas é um filme do tempo, descontinuado, de ida e volta, comovente por vezes. Do achamento das rotas da vida e da poesia, do feito e por fazer, até das ilusões perdidas. E Manuel Alegre, na sua inquietude, insubmisso, a dizer-nos que: “Mais do que de economistas, este é um tempo que precisa de filósofos, poetas e profetas.”»

    Autor

    Author: Fernando Pessoa, Language: Portuguese

    Única obra que Fernando Pessoa publicou em vida, em 1934, a "Mensagem" trata do passado de Portugal, exaltando as glórias dos Descobrimentos. Carregada de simbolismo, a "Mensagem" encerra os grandes mitos da cultura portuguesa, do sebastianismo ao Quinto Império. Segundo António Quadros, "A "Mensagem" (...) é um poema nacional, uma versão moderna, espiritualista e poética dos Lusíadas", que coloca a figura de Fernando Pessoa ao lado da de Luís de Camões.

    Misericórdia

    $59.00

    Author: Lídia Jorge Language: Portuguese

    A história que a mãe de Lídia Jorge lhe pediu que escrevesse. Misericórdia é um dos livros mais audaciosos da literatura portuguesa dos últimos tempos. Como a autora consegue que ele seja ao mesmo tempo brutal e esperançoso, irónico e amável, misto de choro e riso, é uma verdadeira proeza.

    Não são necessárias muitas palavras para apresentá-lo – o diário do último ano de vida de uma mulher incorpora no seu relato o fulgor das existências cruzadas num ambiente concentracionário, e transforma-se no testemunho admirável da condição humana. Isso acontece porque o milagre da literatura está presente.

    Nos tempos que correm, depois do enfrentamento global de provas tão decisivas para a Humanidade, esperávamos por um livro assim. Lídia Jorge escreveu-o."

    Autor

    Lídia Jorge estreou-se com a publicação de O Dia dos Prodígios, em 1980, um dos livros mais emblemáticos da literatura portuguesa pós-revolução. Desde então tem publicado vários títulos nas áreas do romance, conto, ensaio e teatro.
    Em 1988, A Costa dos Murmúrios abriu-lhe as portas para o reconhecimento internacional, tendo sido posteriormente adaptado ao cinema por Margarida Cardoso.
    Entre muitos outros, são de realçar títulos como O Vale da Paixão, O Vento Assobiando nas Gruas, Combateremos a Sombra ou Os Memoráveis, obra que tem sido considerada como uma poderosa metáfora da deriva portuguesa das últimas décadas.
    Aos seus livros têm sido atribuídos os principais prémios nacionais, alguns deles pelo conjunto da obra, como o Prémio da Latinidade, o Grande Prémio da Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores – Millenium BCP, ou o Prémio Vergílio Ferreira de 2015. No estrangeiro, entre outros, Lídia Jorge venceu em 2006 a primeira edição do prestigiado prémio ALBATROS da Fundação Günter Grass e, em 2015, o Grande Prémio Luso-Espanhol de Cultura.
    O seu mais recente romance, Estuário (2018), recebeu o XXIV Grande Prémio de Literatura dst e foi finalista do Prémio Médicis 2019.
    Em 2019, publicou a sua primeira obra de poesia, O Livro das Tréguas, e as crónicas que ao longo de um ano leu aos microfones da Antena 2 foram, em 2020, reunidas no livro Em Todos os Sentidos.
    Ao conjunto da sua obra acaba de ser atribuído o Prémio Tributo de Consagração Fundação Inês de Castro.

    Written by Clarice Lispector, Translated to English by Alison Entrekin

    Near to the Wild Heart, published in Rio de Janeiro in 1943, introduced Brazil to what one writer called “Hurricane Clarice”: a twenty-three-year-old girl who wrote her first book in a tiny rented room and then baptized it with a title taken from Joyce: “He was alone, unheeded, near to the wild heart of life.”

    The book was an unprecedented sensation — the discovery of a genius. Narrative epiphanies and interior monologue frame the life of Joana, from her middle-class childhood through her unhappy marriage and its dissolution to transcendence, when she proclaims: “I shall arise as strong and comely as a young colt.”

    About Author

     Clarice Lispector (1920–1977), the greatest Brazilian writer of the twentieth century, has been called "astounding" (Rachel Kushner), "a penetrating genius" (Donna Seaman, Booklist ), and "one of the twentieth century's most mysterious writers" (Orhan Pamuk). Alison Entrekin has translated a number of works by Brazilian and Portuguese authors into English, including City of God by Paulo Lins and Budapest by Chico Buarque. General editor of the new translations of Clarice Lispector's complete works at New Directions,BENJAMIN MOSER is the author of Why This World: The Biography of Clarice Lispector, and Sontag: Her Life and Work, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. His new book, The Upside-Down World: Meetings with the Dutch Masters, will be published in October.
