I Who Have Never Known Men - Discover The Haunting, Heart-Breaking Post-Apocalyptic Tale

de Jacqueline Harpman

DISPONÍVEL

 Ursula K. LeGuin meets The Road in a post-apocalyptic modern classic of female friendship and intimacy. Deep underground, thirty-nine women live imprisoned in a cage. Watched over by guards, the women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only a vague recollection of their lives before. As the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless years pass, a young girl—the fortieth prisoner—sits alone and outcast in the corner. Soon she will show herself to be the key to the others' escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them above ground. Jacqueline Harpman was born in Etterbeek, Belgium, in 1929, and fled to Casablanca with her family during WWII. Informed by her background as a psychoanalyst and her youth in exile, I Who Have Never Known Men is a haunting, heartbreaking post-apocalyptic novel of female friendship and intimacy, and the lengths people will go to maintain their humanity in the face of devastation. Back in print for the first time since 1997, Harpman’s modern classic is an important addition to the growing canon of feminist speculative literature.

A Reconectar | Reconnecting - Poemas da natureza | Poems from nature

de Belinda Raitt

DISPONÍVEL

 «Mostrar-te-ei todo um universo minúsculo a teus pés, Um mundo inteiro nos teus olhos. Mostrar-te-ei a tua história à medida que ela se desenrola. Se escolheres contar-me a tua história, Eu pegarei na tua mão e mostrar-te-ei, Mostrar-te-ei tu próprio.» Se perdeu o sua conexão consigo próprio, e está a procurar mais significado na vida, mergulhar na natureza o ajuda a entender o universo ao seu redor, e também dentro de si. Passar o tempo a refletir na natureza permitiu a Belinda a reconectar consigo mesmo e a reacender a sua criatividade, e esta coleção de poemas é a expressão de como ela entende o universo, com todos os seus sentidos. Talvez eles também o inspirem a passar mais tempo na natureza e a ouvir a música da sua própria alma. «I’ll show you a whole tiny universe at your feet, A whole wide world in your eyes. I’ll show you your story as it unfolds. If you choose to tell me your story, I’ll take your hand and I’ll show you, I’ll show you yourself.» If you have lost your connection with yourself and are searching for more meaning in life, immersing yourself in nature helps you to make sense of the universe around (and within) you. Spending time reflecting in nature has allowed Belinda to reconnect with herself and reignite her creativity, and this collection of poems is the expression of how she perceives the universe, with all her senses. Perhaps they will inspire you too, to spend more time in nature and listen to the music of your own soul.

 How does it feel to endure everything you said you wouldn't and most importantly what does it actually say about you? Don't Answer. I'm talking to myself. How come you're still in the same situation you said you'd be damned if you every caught yourself up in? Don't reflect. Although you should. You meditate, pray, exercise, drink, smoke, maybe go out every night or stay all day at home looking at your phone, just to avoid yourself. How's that working out for you? Don't worry. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, it gets greener when you water it. Water yourself.

Jesse, A Ruthless Sheriff

de Joaquim Caioã

15,10€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

receba amanhã

DISPONÍVEL

 The author, who is truly curious about what goes on and went on in the world, decided to call on his memories from his youth, when there was a constant call for literature and movies about the adventures that took place in the American Wild West, and fulfilled his dream of writing about that time that fascinated him so much. The author took for granted that other young people of his time, lived the same dreams and the present work was also for them to be able to fulfill their dreams and feed their memories. The author has chosen a town for his narrative, a town that exists in official Ghost Town status; a mining town, whose silver mines made many people rich and gave rise to many adventures. In the narrative there is no shortage of cowboys, bandits, adventurers, gamblers, harlots, and the sheriff and his deputies who carried out the thorny mission of enforcing the law and safety in their jurisdiction. The work will have many flaws and inaccuracies, but, even so, it was only possible to make it with a lot of research and a trip - albeit virtual - to the United States of America, more specifically to the State of California, the region where the most iconic adventures of the Old Wild West took place.

 La dama boba relata la historia de Finea, una niña rica que se niega a madurar. Todos a su alrededor la creen tonta. Sin embargo, un día, la supuesta dama boba se enamora de Lorenzo y entonces pone de manifiesto toda su cordura y su sensatez. En esta obra, Lope intenta escenificar una idea filosófica neoplatónica: el amor que educa y refina a las personas. La dama boba pone de manifiesto el papel de la mujer en la sociedad y las dificultades que tiene para seguir el camino que ella ha elegido; lo cual la vuelve, a pesar del tiempo, increíblemente actual. Aquí Lope de Vega usa la simplicidad para explorar el tema del amor en sus diferentes facetas, pero simplificando los tipos de personajes y utilizando solo los imprescindibles. Por ejemplo, no habla de otras mujeres que no sean las hermanas y sus respectivas criadas.Respecto a los hombres, solo incluye a los pretendientes y a un criado por cada uno. A través de cada personaje trata un aspecto diferente del amor.Cabe finalmente destacar también en esta obra la irónica alusión a Juan Latino.

Miscelânea Poética e Nove Poemas, Nove Amores | Poetic Miscellany and Nine Poems, Nine Loves

de Nuno R. Soares

receba amanhã

DISPONÍVEL

 «Nove Poemas, Nove Amores é uma sequência poética bem conseguida. Nela, encontramos tudo o que habita nos mundos da sensualidade e da procura entre dois corpos que se amam ou que, simplesmente, se desejam. Mas, tal como no Poema Esotérico ficou patente na primeira parte do livro, também na segunda parte fica patente um aviso, o aviso: pois para quem ama e deseja a mulher-ser interior e a mulher-corpo acaba por aparecer a Medusa. Talvez o crime e o castigo que apesar do prazer carnal procurado habite o peito de Nuno Soares. Fruir o desejo carnal é também fruir o medo dessa fruição.» In Prefácio Mário Máximo «In Nine Poems, Nine Loves, we encounter a skillfully crafted poetic sequence. Within its verses, sensuality, and exploration between two bodies unfold-whether they love or desire one another. However, just as the Esoteric Poem hinted in the first part, the second part also reveals a warning: for those who love and desire the inner woman and the body woman, the Medusa eventually emerges. Perhaps the crime and punishment, despite the sought-after carnal pleasure, reside in Nuno Soares’ heart. To indulge in carnal desire is also to embrace the fear that accompanies it.» In Prefácio Mário Máximo
