Throughout the years, we have been publishing fictional and non-fictional narratives, children’s books, political essays as well as photography books, under the collections named: Us (Nosotros), Stone like You (Piedra como tú), Walter’s Library (Biblioteca de Walter) and About Narratives (De Narrativa). Our titles are issued in printed and digital versions, which can be found at digital stores such as Amazon and Bajalibros, among digital libraries and the main bookstores in Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. In addition, some of our books were translated into Italian and Portuguese. In the last few years, we have applied new technologies to develop products for the publishing sector. We created the webBook Digital Educational Contents (Contenidos educativos digitales) and the appbook Professions’ Factory (Fábrica de oficios), among other projects that are currently underway in this area. All our production is self-managed and strongly independent. The books we make are carefully thought through. In every release, the aesthetic care put in the edition, its narrative, illustrations, and photographs, seek to create an attractive object, aimed to inspire the desire to be included in every library.

Neste terceiro volume da Colectânea de Contos Traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária, apresentamos seis contos publicados entre 2017 e 2019 no âmbito do Caine Prize for African Writing e da colectânea New Short Fiction from Africa: ‘Involução’ da autoria da sul-africana Stacy Hardy que aborda abertamente a sexualidade da mulher, também preocupações sociais e políticas, faz alusão a questões como a degradação ambiental, o colonialismo e direitos da mulher, ancorados numa teatralidade conceptual necessária para que o conto não se torne efémero e engaje o sentido de humor do leitor para o aproximar da mente aberta de Hardy. ‘A heroína misteriosa’ ou ‘Mavbanelo na mayi’ em Bitonga, é da autoria da Tanzaniana Lydia Kasese. Ela escreve sobre as expectativas e pressões sociais que levam as mulheres a desejarem concertar tudo. Neste conto Kasese traz destramente à luz questões sobre o abuso de menores e o seu impacto sobre as famílias na Tanzânia e, não só. Alinafe Malonje estreou-se nesta colectânea da Short Story Day com o conto ‘Manutenção de Rotina’, um registo metafísico de um hotel: parte alegoria, parte meditação com um subtil comentário sobre o que significa ser mulher no Malawi. Natasha Omokhodion-Kalulu Banda cria um fabuloso hotel de fantasia que contém realidades sinistras, construindo um persuasivo mundo alternativo. Tariro Ndoro em ‘A lenda das duas irmãs’, ou ‘Xihitana xa vamakwavu na makwavu’ em Changana, traz uma abordagem arrepiante dos perigos da saudade, onde a busca por uma irmã num hotel de luxo em Victoria Falls tem um fim fantasmagórico. Mampianina Randria nos apresenta em ‘O Gatilho’, ou ‘Niyódeké sê xidúvúlá’ em Changana, um conto com um ritmo cerrado e um desfecho totalmente inesperado onde uma mulher que lida com as frustrações de quem entra na vida adulta.

Hesse gehört zu den Autoren, die das Glück hatten, alt zu werden und alle Lebensstufen auf charakteristische Weise erfahren und darstellen zu können. Zu den schönsten dieser Schilderungen gehören seine Betrachtungen über das Alter, über die Lebensjahre, wo Wirklichkeit und Umwelt eine spielerische Surrealität gewinnen, wo die Erinnerung an die Vergangenheit im Verhältnis zur Gegenwart an Realität zunimmt.

The Orientalism debate, inspired by the work of Edward Said, has been a major source of cross-disciplinary controversy in recent years. John MacKenzie offers a comprehensive re-evaluation of this vast literature of Orientalism and brings to the subject highly original historical perspectives. The study provides the first major discussion of Orientalism by a historian of imperialism. Setting the analysis within the context of conflicting scholarly interpretations, John MacKenzie then carries the discussion into wholly new areas, testing the notion that the western arts received genuine inspiration from the East by examining the visual arts, architecture, design, music and theatre. John MacKenzie concludes that western approaches to the Orient have been much more ambiguous and genuinely interactive then Said allowed. The artistic construction of the East by the West has invariably been achieved through a greater spirit of respect and in search of a truly syncretic culture. The Orient has indeed proved an inspiration to the European arts, even when caught in the web of imperial power relations.

Olufunke Ogundimu explora neste potente conto a sua escrita afrofuturista, num 2087 aterradoramente próximo, quando tudo muda, menos a barreira entre quem tem e quem não tem. Onde os pobres ficaram do lado fora de onde é fácil negar a realidade, num mundo distorcido de quem acredita que mudança climática é fake news. Até o planeta terra atingir o ponto de ruptura e mover as areias dos grandes desertos arrasando fronteiras nacionais, cidades, assoreando rios e oceanos impondo novas formas de viver aos humanos.

Roberto Cotroneos dritter Roman ist mehr als die Schilderung einer verbotenen Liebe zwischen einem Lehrer und seiner Schülerin. Der Protagonist ist ein »Mann ohne Eigenschaften«, der eine Geschichte erlebt, die größer ist als er selbst. »Denn Liebe ist stark wie der Tod und Leidenschaft unwiderstehlich wie das Totenreich.« Sind Bibelworte wie diese wirklich dazu angetan, eine brave Kirchengemeinde keusch an ihren seelischen Bund mit Gott denken zu lassen? Und sind die Pforten der Hölle nicht sehr nah, wenn man außerdem die kräftigen Zeilen entdeckt: »Dein Schoß ist wie ein runder Becher, dem es nimmer an Saft mangelt«? Nach seiner Ankunft in Sizilien gibt ein junger Lehrer ein Zeitungsinserat auf, mit zwei Zeilen aus dem Hohenlied als Erkennungszeichen für Francesca. Doch in seiner Unterrichtsklasse sitzt deren jüngere Schwester, Nunzia, eben sechzehnjährig. Vom spröden Charme des Mädchens betört – sie ist dunkel wie Sulamith -, beginnt er, ihr das Hohelied vorzulesen, und diese Art der Verführung findet ihre Erfüllung schon bald in den Gemächern des Palazzos. Ein Skandal in der sizilianischen Provinzstadt im Jahr 1959, zu deren Alltag die Moralgesetze der Kirche ebenso gehören wie die immer wieder siegreichen fleischlichen Versuchungen unter einer südlichen Sonne. Ausgerechnet die heiligen Worte des Hohenliedes dienen der Verführung einer Minderjährigen und verwandeln Nunzia in eine Frau, bei deren Anblick die ganze Stadt den Atem anhält. Der Franziskanermönch, dem Nunzia ohne Reue gebeichtet hatte, predigt leidenschaftlich über die religiöse Bedeutung des Hohenliedes. Für ihn versinnbildlicht der Satz »Da bin ich geworden in seinen Augen wie eine, die das vollkommene Alter hat« keineswegs den Körper einer jungen Frau in voller Blüte, sondern den Bund Gottes mit der menschlichen Seele. Die Versetzung des jungen Lehrers ist unausweichlich.

A major reference work on exotic and underutilised fruits and nuts of the New World. While many of these are well known in the local markets and in Spanish-language literature, they have rarely been brought to the attention of the wider English-speaking audience, and as such this book will offer an entirely new resource to those interested in exotic crops.
