    Book - Anthony De Sa - Children of the Moon

    $22.00

    From celebrated author Anthony De Sa comes a raw and compelling novel of love, war and the heartbreaking effects of memory.

    "'You must listen to my words. You must promise to tell my story the way I have shared it with you.'"

    Tanzania, 1956. A Maasai woman gives birth to a child with albinism. The child is seen as a curse upon her tribe, and so begins Pó's tumultuous story. As Pó navigates the world, she must claim her life in the face of violence and ostracism.

    Further south, in Portuguese-controlled Mozambique, Ezequiel struggles for acceptance too. Adopted by missionaries, he is not recognized by his Portuguese father's community, or by his Makonde mother's tribe. When civil war erupts, he must choose who to fight for and who to leave behind.

    Pó and Zeca come together in a time of momentous change. Love connects these two outsiders, forcing them to confront the shattering impact of colonialism and war. Children of the Moon is a stunning and unforgettable exploration of the love of two people at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control.

    Book - Anthony De Sa, Kicking the Sky

    $19.95

    Anthony De Sa's novel of rare evocative power that captures the space between innocence and knowing--for a city, for a community and most especially for a trio of unforgettable boys.

         On a steamy summer day in 1977, Emanuel Jaques was shining shoes in downtown Toronto. Surrounded by the strip clubs, bars and body rub parlors of Yonge Street, Emanuel was lured away from his friends by a man who promised some easy money. Four days later the boy's body was discovered. He had been brutally raped and murdered, and Toronto the Good would never be the same. The murder of the Shoeshine Boy had particularly tragic resonance for the city's Portuguese community. The loss of one of their own symbolized for many how far they were from realizing their immigrant dreams.
         Kicking the Sky is told from the perspective of one of these children, Antonio Rebelo, a character first introduced in Barnacle Love. Twelve-year-old Antonio prizes his life of freedom and adventure. He and his best friends, Manny and Ricky, spend their days on their bikes exploring the labyrinth of laneways that link their Portuguese neighborhood to the rest of the city. But as the details of Emanuel's death expose Toronto's seedier underbelly, the boys are pulled into an adult world of danger and cruelty, secrets and lies much closer to home.
         Kicking the Sky is a novel driven by dramatic events, taking hold of readers from its opening pages, intensifying its force towards an ending of huge emotional impact.

    Barnacle Love, Paperback, By Anthony De Sa

    Shortlisted for the 2008 Scotiabank Giller Prize

    Like Wayson Choy and David Bezmozgis before him, Anthony De Sa captures, in stories brimming with life, the innocent dreams and bitter disappointments of the immigrant experience.

    At the heart of this collection of intimately linked stories is the relationship between a father and his son. A young fisherman washes up nearly dead on the shores of Newfoundland. It is Manuel Rebelo who has tried to escape the suffocating smallness of his Portuguese village and the crushing weight of his mother’s expectations to build a future for himself in a terra nova. Manuel struggles to shed the traditions of a village frozen in time and to silence the brutal voice of Maria Theresa da Conceicao Rebelo, but embracing the promise of his adopted land is not as simple as he had hoped.

    Manuel’s son, Antonio, is born into Toronto’s little Portugal, a world of colourful houses and labyrinthine back alleys. In the Rebelo home the Church looms large, men and women inhabit sharply divided space, pigs are slaughtered in the garage, and a family lives in the shadow cast by a father’s failures. Most days Antonio and his friends take to their bikes, pushing the boundaries of their neighbourhood street by street, but when they finally break through to the city beyond they confront dangers of a new sort.

    SINOPSE

    Quando se defronta com o excecional arqueiro que o veio desafiar, o mestre Tetsuya - cuja habilidade com o arco e a flecha é lendária, mas que vive agora retirado, a trabalhar como um humilde carpinteiro - oferece muito mais do que uma lição, a ele e ao rapaz da aldeia que assiste ao desafio. O rapaz - que testemunha, espantado, aquele encontro - insiste que Tetsuya lhe transmita os seus conhecimentos da arte do tiro ao arco. O mestre adverte que lhe poderá ensinar as regras necessárias, mas o jovem terá de aprender como usá-las para se transformar numa pessoa melhor. É assim que descobrem, ambos, o caminho do arco, o percurso de uma vida com sentido.

    Tal como em O Alquimista, Paulo Coelho volta a oferecer-nos uma luminosa fábula que nos convida a refletir acerca de quem somos e a encontrar o nosso próprio caminho. Cada leitor encontrará nela preceitos para tomar decisões e fazer o percurso de uma vida gratificante: o esforço diário, a paixão, a adaptação à mudança, a concentração e a coragem de tomar decisões difíceis.

    Book - Sao Bernardo

    $21.95

    A masterwork about backcountry life by one of Brazil's most celebrated novelists.

    Paulo Honório is a sometime field hand who has kicked and clawed and schemed his way to prosperity, becoming master of the decrepit estate São Bernardo, where once upon a time he toiled. He is ruthless in his exploitation of his fellow man, but when he makes a match with a fine young woman, he is surprised to discover that this latest acquisition, as he sees it, may be somewhat harder to handle. It is in Paulo Honório’s own rough-hewn voice that the great Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos, often compared to William Faulkner, tells this gritty and dryly funny story of triumph and comeuppance, a tour de force of the writer’s art that is beautifully captured in Padma Viswanathan’s new translation.

    Book - The High Mountains of Portugal

    $22.00

    With this highly anticipated new novel, the author of the bestselling Life of Pi returns to the storytelling power and luminous wisdom of his master novel.


    The High Mountains of Portugal is a suspenseful, mesmerizing story of a great quest for meaning, told in three intersecting narratives touching the lives of three different people and their families, and taking us on an extraordinary journey through the last century. We begin in the early 1900s, when Tomás discovers an ancient journal and sets out from Lisbon in one of the very first motor cars in Portugal in search of the strange treasure the journal describes. Thirty-five years later, a pathologist devoted to the novels of Agatha Christie, whose wife has possibly been murdered, finds himself drawn into the consequences of Tomás's quest. Fifty years later, Senator Peter Tovy of Ottawa, grieving the death of his own beloved wife, rescues a chimpanzee from an Oklahoma research facility and takes it to live with him in his ancestral village in northern Portugal, where the strands of all three stories miraculously mesh together.
         Beautiful, witty and engaging, Yann Martel's new novel offers us the same tender exploration of the impact and significance of great love and great loss, belief and unbelief, that has marked all his brilliant, unexpected novels.

    The first European artist to cross the equator, Camoes's narrative reflects the novelty and fascination of that original encounter with Africa, India and the Far East. The poem's twin symbols are the Cross and the Astrolabe, and its celebration of a turning point in mankind's knowledge of the world unites the old map of the heavens with the newly discovered terrain on earth. Yet it speaks powerfully, too, of the precariousness of power, and of the rise and decline of nationhood, threatened not only from without by enemies, but from within by loss of integrity and vision.

    Pessoa

    $40.00

    Nearly a century after his wrenching death, the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935) remains one of our most enigmatic writers. Believing he could do “more in dreams than Napoleon,” yet haunted by the specter of hereditary madness, Pessoa invented dozens of alter egos, or “heteronyms,” under whose names he wrote in Portuguese, English, and French. Unsurprisingly, this “most multifarious of writers” (Guardian) has long eluded a definitive biographer—but in renowned translator and Pessoa scholar Richard Zenith, he has met his match.

    Relatively unknown in his lifetime, Pessoa was all but destined for literary oblivion when the arc of his afterlife bent, suddenly and improbably, toward greatness, with the discovery of some 25,000 unpublished papers left in a large, wooden trunk. Drawing on this vast archive of sources as well as on unpublished family letters, and skillfully setting the poet’s life against the nationalist currents of twentieth-century European history, Zenith at last reveals the true depths of Pessoa’s teeming imagination and literary genius.

    Much as Nobel laureate José Saramago brought a single heteronym to life in The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis, Zenith traces the backstories of virtually all of Pessoa’s imagined personalities, demonstrating how they were projections, spin-offs, or metamorphoses of Pessoa himself. A solitary man who had only one, ultimately platonic love affair, Pessoa used his and his heteronyms’ writings to explore questions of sexuality, to obsessively search after spiritual truth, and to try to chart a way forward for a benighted and politically agitated Portugal.

    Although he preferred the world of his mind, Pessoa was nonetheless a man of the places he inhabited, including not only Lisbon but also turn-of-the-century Durban, South Africa, where he spent nine years as a child. Zenith re-creates the drama of Pessoa’s adolescence—when the first heteronyms emerged—and his bumbling attempts to survive as a translator and publisher. Zenith introduces us, too, to Pessoa’s bohemian circle of friends, and to Ophelia Quieroz, with whom he exchanged numerous love letters. Pessoa reveals in equal force the poet’s unwavering commitment to defending homosexual writers whose books had been banned, as well as his courageous opposition to Salazar, the Portuguese dictator, toward the end of his life. In stunning, magisterial prose, Zenith contextualizes Pessoa’s posthumous literary achievements—especially his most renowned work, The Book of Disquiet.

    A modern literary masterpiece, Pessoa simultaneously immortalizes the life of a literary maestro and confirms the enduring power of Pessoa’s work to speak prophetically to the disconnectedness of our modern world.

    "Este livro ilustrado convida-nos a embarcar rumo à ilha do Pico. (...) é um convite à descoberta do arquipélago e à proteção da vida marinha em todas as idades." - TIME OUT PORTUGAL

    No conto de Isabel Mateus com ilustrações de Filipe Gomes, reaviva-se por certo a memória da tradicional caça à baleia praticada nos Açores que, desde o século XIX, foi o ganha-pão de muitas famílias das ilhas. E persegue-se, sobretudo, o sonho novo de um presente com futuro: a preservação das baleias através de uma observação responsável. Os sucessivos diálogos ao longo da narrativa entre o avô, que fora baleeiro no Pico, e o neto, que já nascera depois que essa faina fora proibida, em 1984, falam precisamente desse sonho do menino: ver a baleia-azul a passar nos Açores. Porém, esse desejo profundo e urgente revela-se uma façanha difícil de concretizar quando tal aventura depende do velho bote a remos do avô, das boas ou más condições climatéricas e, mormente, da dificuldade em avistar este mamífero tão raro, porque ainda em vias de extinção. De resto, foi apenas durante a terceira saída para o mar que o rapazote viu ao natural talvez o maior animal que alguma vez existiu na Terra. Na atualidade, e antecipando-se à atividade turística "Whale Watching", o menino, que entretanto se tornou adulto, mostra já ao leme da sua embarcação, durante a primavera e o verão, que é quando esta espécie de baleia faz a sua passagem migratória pelos Açores, a baleia-azul a todos.

    "Ao ler este livro, mirei-me ao espelho do tempo. E nesse retrovisor senti-me, de novo, criança. As brincadeiras no Porto das Ribeiras. Na casa dos botes, em cima do cais, nas poças, à beira mar, em cima da ponte, por entre barcos varados sobre a rampa e gentes a escarafunchar em vidas encardidas.
    Os pés de menino fincados nas pedras lisas do porto. Os olhos a varrer o mar de lés a lés, presos à Ponta do Morricão, na Calheta de Nesquim. A ânsia e a espera. O coração aos solavancos dentro do peito. A saudade entalada entre as tábuas de um batel de boca aberta. Os barcos que vão chegando, entre bonançarias e borrascas. A alegria e o encantamento a tomarem conta dos filhos dos pescadores. O barco encostado à escaleira e os beijos apressados, com sabor a sal e a sol, nos rostos secos e luminosos dos nossos pais. Peixe até aos bancos. A alegria estampada nos olhos de todos nós. O sonho, a fantasia e a imaginação à revelia. A realidade rapidamente transformada em jogo. Botes baleeiros e lanchas da baleia, feitos com canas da costa. Arriadas, perseguições, arpoamentos, capturas e reboques até fábricas imaginárias. Gestos, mitos e lendas de mares de baleias e de baleeiros a riscar, na ardósia da memória, um tempo de viver. Reinvenção de histórias e de contos de um mar feiticeiro, contados ao colo doce dos nossos pais e avós. E a ilha, toda inteira, à solta, aos pulos, dentro do olhar de uma criança.
    Irmãos do peito, continuamos a olhar para as grandes baleias como personagens principais do mar açoriano, e português, que nos corre nas veias e na massa do sangue da história."

    Thought-provoking and lyrical, The Notebook records the last year in the life of José Saramago. In these pages, beginning on the eve of the 2008 US presidential election, he evokes life in his beloved city of Lisbon, revisits conversations with friends, and meditates on his favorite authors. Precise observations and moments of arresting significance are rendered with pointillist detail, and together demonstrate an acute understanding of our times. Characteristically critical and uncompromising, Saramago dissects the financial crisis, deplores Israel’s punishment of Gaza, and reflects on the rise of Barack Obama. The Notebook is a unique journey into the personal and political world of one of the greatest writers of our time.
