Brazilian Publishers Created in 2008, the Brazilian Publishers project in the Brazilian publishing market resulted from an agreement between the Brazilian Book Chamber (CBL) and the Brazilian Trade Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil). The objective of the initiative is to promote the Brazilian publishing industry in the global market. To meet this objective the project works to promote export of services, content and products through actions ranging from those focusing on publisher empowerment to those designed to promote sale of author rights, books and participation in fairs and international events. In addition to fostering exports, the activities of the project contribute toward positioning the country internationally, showing the world the Brazilian capacity to create technical, literary and scientific content of great importance to the international information and communications market. The goal is to show other countries the characteristics of a country with a modern economy and advanced scientific production capabilities, thereby skillfully contributing to increase exports and develop a positive image of Brazil. In these three years Brazilian Publishers improved publishers access to the external market and more than 250 titles were licensed abroad. The Brazilian Publishers project and its participating companies also have the formal support of the Foreign Ministry of International Relations and its network of consulates and embassies all over the world.

The Brazilian Book Chamber – CBL is a non-profit organization that has been working for over 60 years in order to promote both actions that allow free access to books and the diffusion of reading, aiming at expanding the Brazilian publishing market. Through punctual actions and a permanent dialogue with stakeholders, CBL has guaranteed its members significant representation alongside public administration and private initiative, facilitating the democratic access to practices that can benefit books and reading in Brazil. An example of successful achievement, the São Paulo International Biennial Book Fair – the greatest literary event in Brazil, which is organized by CBL – currently is one of the largest cultural events in the world. Its latest edition, in 2010, took place in a 70,000 square meter area, hosting 350 exhibitors and 728,000 visitors over 11 days. CBL is also the sole body responsible for administering the Jabuti Award which has been the greatest and most important Brazilian literary award for over 51 years. Its goal is to acknowledge the talent of publishers, authors, cover designers, illustrators, translators, graphic producers and designers, all of them significant drivers within the production chain book. Noted for its excellence and for always keeping in mind the growth of its members, CBL promotes, supports and encourages fairs and events on behalf of books and reading across Brazil; CBL organizes training and professional improvement programs besides providing essential information and guidance services. CBL members periodically receive Panorama Editorial, a print magazine containing articles and opinion by important names from the literary world. Our electronic newsletter, CBL Informa, issued biweekly, offers updates in a light and reader-friendly format, and the CBL website (www.cbl.org.br) has two roles – it is the key to our relationship with members, who can get access to exclusive content and services, and it makes CBL known among sympathizers from the publishing world. In order to facilitate Brazilian publisher access to global markets, CBL created the Brazilian Publishers project, along with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency – Apex-Brasil. Thanks to this initiative, publishers can take their brands and publications to the leading book fairs worldwide, enabling them to explore new markets and get visibility and recognition, attesting to the quality of Brazilian publishers and books. Join the Brazilian Publishers project and come do business with publishers from around the world. Readers will be surprised by what the Brazilian publishing market has to offer.

The ALIS PUBLISHING HOUSE was founded in March 1995 with the support of Banco Itau. ALIS began its operations in 1997 when its book “Super Kite” was chosen as one of the titles to be included in the “Reader’s Corner” - a training program for school libraries in the Department of Education of the State of Minas Gerais. Since then, ALIS has grown steadily earning some very important awards. Currently it participates in several library programs at the local, state and federal levels. Its books are also adopted by many private schools. Alis has published important titles such as “Out, Rex”, “Drops of Adventure”, “On the Equator Line”,“Waters”, “The Pietàs”, “The Horse and the Chicken” and “The Day I Met My Friend” (picture and poetry books) among others. ALIS has received many awards from different institutions and participated in many national and international fairs, always striving for excellence in the publishing business.

Super Kite

The Pietàs

By Elizabeth Christina

By Rosangela F. Souza Lima

ISBN: 978-85-86540-19-6 15.5 x 22.5 cm 48 pages

ISBN: 978-85-86540-41-7 14 x 21 cm 96 pages

The amusing adventure of Juca, his friends and his dog. Together they build an enormous kite and climb the mountain closest to their city. They fly the kite there high above, enchanting everyone as it floats between white clouds and the blue sky – at least that was their intention! This book, in addition to being an enjoyable story that teaches, among other things, how to make several types of kites, also tells about their origin. Most importantly, the book provides warnings about how we must be careful when flying kites. Following this advice, we can avoid the many accidents that happen around the world in the enjoyable practice of this pastime.

We are moved by the author’s narrative in this book which, touching on the delicate topic of pediatric oncology, achieves a light text which encourages voluntarism. It contains painful stories, of resignation and love, with strokes of humor. All the profits from sale of the book are destined for the Child Oncology wing of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia in Belo Horizonte. We have already been able to replace the hard metal chairs in the waiting room with comfortable long, cushioned chairs where mothers spend nights accompanying their children. The bathroom of the wing has also been renovated. We hope to do much more for the children and the “Pietàs”.

Once upon a time there was an old man whose name nobody knew and so they used to call him the “Mad Dervish”. He had walked around the Middle East for a long time when he arrived at a town and started telling stories in the main square. His stories were entertaining but they also touched people because they presented real life situations which people identified with. This book received many awards Suggestions for activities: – Read in class – Create stories based on the titles in the book, – Discuss Arabic culture comparing its similarities and differences with the local culture.

Zé lives in Cape Verde with his grandfather Aurélio. He spends his days in the Tarrafal, an old prison that is used nowadays as a school. It is said that an old prisoner is still moaning in his cell. It seems like his soul has not been released... Will Zé have the courage to end this torment? This book was published under the Carlos Drummond de Andrade publishing support program of the French Embassy in Brazil and was supported by the French Ministry of European and Foreign Relations. It was acquired by the National Program of Scholastic Libraries of the MEC and its author came to Brazil where he visited many schools and gave speeches at some colleges. Suggestions for activities: – Search the map of Africa for the island of Cape Verde, – Research regions that have droughts as in Cape Verde.

Slaves and Freed Men in Eighteenth Century Minas Gerais: Resistance Strategies

Avenue Parade, Work at the Samba School: The Double Face of Carnival

By Eduardo FranĂ§a Paiva

By Leila Maria da Silva Blass

ISBN: 978-85-741-9982-5 16 x 23 cm 284 pages

ISBN: 978-85-741-9753-1 14 x 21 cm 176 pages

Eduardo Paiva has undertaken an original study about the colonial universe and the daily slavery relationship in Minas Gerais between 1720 and 1785, showing how slaves and freed men and their descendants took over the role of transformers of their time and therefore of historical agents.

The Carnival parades of big samba schools have increasingly become megaevents ruled by norms and requisites which have established certain order and instituted control forms resulting in negotiated alliances. The parades generate jobs and establish an employment market conducted by its own rules. That is the study of Leila Blass.

Animals, Plants and Their Kin

Weaving a Reader: A Tangled Net

By Luiz Eduardo Cheida with illustrations by Rogério Coelho

By Eliana Yunes

ISBN: 978-85-7841-594-5 15 x 24 cm 160 pages These chronicles are an incisive deconstruction of the anthropocentric understanding of the world. The same understanding that makes many perceive human beings as main actors and all other living creatures as merely supporting team members. Animals, Plants and Their Kin delights while it deconstructs; it stirs emotions even when it cuts deep and makes bleed that which sets apart finite nature from the predatory market; it surprises while denouncing that it is reality, in the end, that is extraordinary. These chronicles, like musical notes sprinkling from a musical score, end up composing the harmonic melody that we insist upon ignoring. The Chlorella alga is moved; the dog plays cards; the tree philosophizes; the bee learns; and the man, while dialoguing with them all, attests that we are all on the same ground. That, after all, we are all kin.

ISBN: 978-85-7841-382-8 18 x 25 cm 96 pages Reading does not only correspond to the understanding of the world within a text, be it written or not. Reading demands mobilizing the reader’s understanding of the world and giving meaning to one’s own reality. What is reading all about? Taking tests? Passing university entrance exams? Passing a public service exam? Reading for life. Reading life. Read to widen perspectives, to associate ideas, to reinvent the world from one’s own perspective. It’s no use to “pass the school year” and get a certificate, if there is no qualitative life change. If teachers, parents, librarians fail in their attempts to introduce the joy of reading, the thirst for knowledge slowly vanishes, up to a point where we are rather satisfied with a mediocre vocabulary, with ordinary reading, becoming therefore, blind before light.

Oscar Niemeyer – An Architecture of Seduction

Fernando de Noronha 3º50’S 32º24’W

By André Corrêa do Lago

By Marta Granville, Zaira Matheus and Alice Grossman

ISBN: 978-85-7850-044-3 29 x 18 cm 128 pages This book acquaints the reader with the life and career of Brazil’s most internationally-renowned architect. Based on Niemeyer’s writings, critical appraisals of his work and the architect’s own clarifications, the author guides us through one of the most important architectural oeuvres of the 20th century and sheds light on some of the key issues of modernism and architecture in general. The photographs are by photographers Marcel Gautherot, Cristiano Mascaro and Nelson Kon, each offering a different take on the art of Niemeyer’s constructions. Innovative in format, the book consists of two sections, one of text and the other of photographs, designed to be used in conjunction, so that one can shed further light on the other.

ISBN: 978-85-7850-032-0 30 x 30 cm 264 pages Since becoming one of the premier tourist destinations in Brazil, Fernando de Noronha has inspired a proliferation of photographic records. This book moves far beyond tourism-related photos and video footage focused out the same themes by allying the extensive photographic coverage of Granville and Matheus, specialists in underwater photography with over a decade worth of experience in Noronha – which enables them to uncover some special moments of marine life – and an iconographic and cartographic collection documenting a millennium of human occupation of the archipelago.

Carlos Motta – Life as I See It By Paulo Lima and Rafic Farah ISBN: 978-85-7850-045-0 23 x 29 cm 176 pages For the last three decades the name of Carlos Motta has been a very particular brand in the world of industrial design and architecture, largely due to his trademark use of wood and emphasis on environmental and social responsibility, in which he was something of a pioneer. The architect belongs to a creative generation that reinvented traditional Brazilian furniture and earned it an ever-widening niche on the international market. The book unfolds as if it were the transcript of a long conversation. Interviews with Carlos Motta are combined with conversations with some of his clients, friends and relatives. The publication comes with a DVD entitled Carlos Motta on the Waves of Life, a thirty-minute documentary on Motta’s life and work.

Brazil: Gastronomy, Culture and Tourism

Revealed Cities

By Eva Ribenboim Steinbruch

ISBN: 85-86-518-73-5 24 x 30 cm 192 pages

ISBN: 978-85-7850-034-4 20 x 25 cm 244 pages More than just a cookbook, this is a veritable tour through the vast mosaic of Brazilian flavors. Based on extensive research, the author selects typical dishes from each region. The volume contains sixty recipes for traditional dishes, including entrées, main courses and desserts. All of the regions of Brazil are represented with their traditional food. In addition to firstrate photographs, the work is further enriched with delicate illustrations by the author. A glossary at the end of the book provides extra information and explains some of the regional terms and ingredients used in the recipes, plus some easier-to-find substitutes.

By Cristiano Mascaro

In a unique and unexpected reading of the Brazilian urban scene, Cristiano Mascaro visits towns and cities in search of images that reveal an essentially human architecture. The book is divided into five parts, each with an introduction by a recognized authority on the theme (Renina Katz, Maria Bonomi, Benedito Lima de Toledo and Carlos Lemos). Revealed Cities features warm praise from Paulo Mendes da Rocha, a text by André Corrêa do Lago and a self-presentation in which Cristiano Mascaro revisits his career and lays out his method and personal preferences. The poet Ferreira Gullar offers an introduction of Mascaro’s work, recalling how the photographer “exposes us to the poetic vibrations of the streets, showing us around the unknown city that lies hidden in the one we thought we knew”.

Design, Culture and Society By Gui Bonsiepe

Maintenance Management in Health Services

ISBN: 978-85-212-0532-6 20,5 x 25,5 cm 270 pages

By Alexandre Ferreli Souza, Cristina Helena Toulias Heringer, Joacy Santos Junior and Jorge Ronaldo Moll

This book presents a disturbing analysis about the evolution of design over the 20th century by registering its main successes and misfortunes. On one hand, the book reports the development of design outlined by various economic and social actors. On the other, it shows a hesitant trajectory due to the unawareness, conformism and opportunism of 20th century protagonists. However, the book does not only analyze and criticize, it also provides sugestions about new possible directions for the future.

ISBN: 978-85-212-0563-0 17 x 24 cm 182 pages This book shows why political support is necessary for a strategic view of health aid organizations. It is about an initiative with a systematic text, perfect for use as a study guide. The approach to the main aspects of everyday HSS management is its greatest distinguishing characteristic. In addition, this book serves as a consulting guide for practitioners from other areas, such as doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and administrators that may be managers and need to know more about this poorly explored area which has such a huge impact on health maintenance.

Ferocious and enormous beings that look like lizards and live in distant lands: this is how dinosaurs are described in our imagination. But not everything one imagines is true. We already are aware of more than a thousand different kinds of dinosaurs who lived on Earth. Some of them lived in Brazil. They were of different sizes. Some disappeared without a trace. Some others caused the rise of new species… Main subjects: sciences, dinosaurs, geography

Moved and united by smell, this is the way the different kinds of ants communicate among themselves and this is also how they care for their nests and preserve them. It is by the act of carrying leaves to their anthills that a kind of fungus is born which makes the soil more fertile. And, with the task of “cleaning up” seeds, ants cultivate the forest. Main subjects: biology, life of ants, ecology

Bitter Red By Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós

The Complete Works of João Antônio

ISBN: 978-85-7503-962-5 11.5 x 20.7 cm 72 pages

By João Antônio

The first book by one of the greatest exponents of Brazilian literature published by Cosac Naify is anything but ordinary. Vermelho amargo [Bitter Red] places Bartolomeu Campos definitively among the ranks of writers that transcend classification. The first person narrative revisits a painful childhood marked by the absence of a mother, who is replaced by an indifferent stepmother. The children – born to a father who cannot quit drinking and a stepmother who serves thinly sliced tomatoes at mealtimes – develop a series of anomalies to overcome their lack of affection: the son eats glass, the daughter cross stitches obsessively. The memory-laden prose suits this semiautobiographical account; after all, “to forget is to un-exist, it makes things never have happened”. In the words of theatre director Gabriel Villela, who writes the back cover text, this is a work that is “delicate… like barbed wire”.

João Antônio (1937-1996) left behind a body of work that stands out for its masterly ability to blend street dialogue with literary writing. He portrayed prostitutes, pimps and scoundrels, lending the depths of philosophy and literary theory to the marginalized individuals who inhabit the peripheries of the big cities. His first book, Malagueta, Perus e Bacanaço [Chilli, Perus and Hipster], won two of Brazil’s most prestigious literary award – the Jabuti Prize – and was translated into eight languages. In addition to being a prolific journalist, he published another twenty works, among them Leão de Chácara [Bouncer] (1975), Ô Copacabana [Oh! Copacabana] (1978) and Dedo-duro [Tell-tale] (1981), all reedited by Cosac Naify. “João Antônio uses the dregs of society to create beauty and poetry, because this is a writer who, in addition to his talent, brings experience, love and passion for the characters who populate his admirable books.” Jorge Amado

Basing his research on the Amazonian Araweté indigenous tribe, he developed the theory of Amerindian “perspectivism” that has had a growing influence on British, French and American anthropology and placed him at the forefront of his field. This book is a collection containing his nine fundamental essays, including the classic “Perspectivismo e multiculturalismo na América indígena” [“Perspectivism and Multiculturalism in Indigenous America”], published in English, Spanish and French. A professor at the Rio de Janeiro National Museum, Viveiros de Castro combines his writing with a full schedule of lectures and courses at a variety of universities around the world. “Viveiros de Castro is the founder of a new school in anthropology.

From the Public to the Networks – Digital Communications and New Forms of Social Participation

Bioethics, People and Life By Dalton Luiz de Paula Ramos ISBN: 978-85-7808-64 16 x 23 cm 376 pages

By Mássimo Di Felice ISBN: 978-85-7808-035-8 14.5 x 21 cm 336 pages This book is the result of interaction and dialogue among a number of researchers around the world who studied the impact of digital technologies on contemporary society and the new forms of social network interaction.

This book, with contributions by over 30 authors, makes readers reflect on the natural mismatch between progress in technology and the maturity of moral reflections in connection with its consequences on life, resulting over the years in collective efforts by the entire world to discuss the bioethics issue. Intended for undergraduate students and faculty members in many areas of knowledge, this book is based on the principle that each of the topics under study considers ethics with regard to life and goes beyond the laws of physics and matter to approach the field of anthropology and philosophy focused on the study of human beings.

Human beings, in every corner of the world, have shown an overall growing interest in subjects related to immortality, communication with spirits, life after death and reincarnation. The popularity of these topics can be measured by the box office success of several related movies and the excellent ratings of TV series that are being presented worldwide. Clearly, one of the main reasons behind the increase of interest in Spiritist books and movies, is that they truly answer questions that have puzzled mankind since ancient times: Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we headed? Spiritist literature presents arguments based on reason, which in return, attracts readers of all ages. The texts are very well written, with intriguing and captivating ideas and coherent narratives based on real facts. EDICEI aims to contribute to the discussion of these topics, which reflect the increasing interest of the public, by making its books, which have been published in more than fifteen different languages since 1992, available to the world.

He goes further: he serenely and dispassionately interprets the facts, presenting the medium’s biography in its most authentic version as a faithful instrument of Spiritism and the Gospel of Jesus for mankind.

The Caixa Verde publishing company belongs to Toni Brandão, who also writes for some of the major Brazilian publishers. Toni founded Caixa Verde in 2008 to create projects that start with literature but that also seek to make its content interact with other medias and technologies, always keeping good quality entertainment in mind. These projects also ponder the existential and behavioral questions of adolescents and urban youth, that are readily identified in this increasingly globalized world, who are looking for alternatives for their future and their anxieties. Toni Brandão’s books have already surpassed the mark of 1.5 million copies and the author is also a screenplay writer for television, theater plays and cinematographic and digital media. The publisher’s first book, O Garoto Verde (The Green Boy), has just been released in Portugal.

The Green Kid

The Recyclables!

By Toni Brandão

ISBN: 978-85-61662-00-4 14 x 21 cm B&W 208 pages

ISBN: 978-85-61662-01-1 14 x 21 cm B&W 208 pages

The Green Kid explores the love triangle formed by Peter, Isabella (a strong, pretty and extremely spoiled and materialistic girl) and Zoe (the most ecologically conscious and naturally pretty girl at the school where the threesome studies) in order to build a contemporary behavioral profile of urban girls and boys the world over, discussing subjects such as love, friendship, sustainability, sexuality, civic duty, respect for diversity, social inclusion…and bullying! Alongside the tempestuous love triangle – through parallel subplots involving Peter’s, Isabella’s and Zoe’s friends – other issues and topics are incorporated and woven into the daily lives of the main characters. Bullying, for example, is brought into play through a group, the Bad Kids, whose insecurity makes them do anything to hide their vulnerability behind their arrogant behavior.

The Recyclables! tells the story of a successful rock band made up of Peter and his friends that is working its way up the musical scene outside the school with its green ideas, tunes and pop songs that talk about things the youth can relate to (such as difficulties in love and relationships) and the main contemporary issues (such as sustainability, ethics and social inclusion). While the band becomes a success on the Internet and in school concerts, we follow the increasingly troubled love story of the threesome formed by the three main characters and the ramifications involving the loves, friendships and family relationships of the other boys and girls in the band. The issues raised in the first adventure on sustainability, ethics and behavior are explored in depth and transported beyond the classroom environment into the lives of girls and boys outside of school.

The Recyclables 2.0! Brazil Tour 2011 By Toni Brandão ISBN: 978-85-61662-02-8 14 x 21 cm B&W 208 pages In The Recyclables 2.0! – Brazil Tour 2011 the boys and girls have grown up and the band, through adventures and misadventures, goes on tour to some of Brazil’s main cities, such as Rio de Janeiro and Salvador…always getting into trouble over their recycling-oriented views and way of life. On every trip there is fresh trouble and plenty of fun, as well as the possibility to get to know the typical cultural aspects of the various regions of Brazil and how they influence the way boys and girls behave. At the beginning of the plot, Peter is mugged by a kid his own age with the same name. After pondering about it with rest of the band and the boys and girls from the cities he visits, Peter finds a way to help the other Peter try to fit into society by exploring the possibility of being creative (constructive) and not committing robbery (destructive).

Founded on October 1928, Atheneu was the first bookstore in Brazil specialized in Medicine and Health publications. At that time, it imported books from the United States and Spain to resell them in its shop on Rua Sete de Setembro, in Rio de Janeiro. Many physicians came from different regions of the country just to buy its books. In 1984, with nearly 200 books in its catalogue, Atheneu decided to dedicate itself uniquely to the publicity and production of its own books. Therefore, it was no longer a bookshop to become a Publisher, marketing only its own publications. 2011 Atheneu’s catalogue already has more than 1,080 books. We release a monthly average of eight publications, all written by Brazilian authors. Due to its dedication to editorial quality, Atheneu received 1996, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2010 Brazilian Award called “Prêmio Jabuti” for the fields of Natural Sciences and Medicine, the most important in this area, considered the “Oscar” of Literature, and in 2003, the Latin American Award “Integración”, awarded by Camara Internacional de Pesquisas e Integración Social.

Contos de enganar a morte By Ricardo Azevedo

Rabisco – um cachorro perfeito

ISBN: 978-85-080-8711-2 21 x 28 cm 64 pages

By Michele Iacocca

These four short stories, full of humor and finesse, deal with death naturally and are a passionate declaration of absolute love for life. One common point that the stories share is that the heroes who fight to overcome death and the strategies they use are a lot of fun. The book is the work of the renowned writer and illustrator Ricardo Azevedo, a great researcher of Brazilian popular culture. For him, ‘It is a serious mistake to consider death a forbidden topic or inappropriate for children. Children and youth need to learn how to deal with life, of which death is an inseparable part. It should be treated symbolically in children’s lives.” If the theme of death is frightening, it is also capable of making us think and a have a good laugh or two.

The artist of this collection, Michele Iacocca, was born in Italy but has spent his entire adult life in Brazil, where he still lives today. In the collection, he tells amazingly sensitive yet surprising stories, which enchant the reader without the need for words. The illustrations, which have been done in crayon and watercolor, are simple and communicative all by themselves: the influence of his past experience as a cartoonist. In “Doodle, a perfect dog,” a boy tries to draw the dog he would like to have but cannot. But his “doodle” comes to life! However, “Doodle” soon realizes that his owner would prefer a more handsome and showy-looking dog. Therefore, the dog goes to the street and confronts many dangerous situations to find a designer than can make the desire of his owner come true. Once again facing the same dangers on the way back home, Doodle takes the drawing up the boy. Surprised by his own creation, the boy realizes that he loves the puppy..

ISBN: 978-85-081-4263-7 32 pages

ISBN: 978-85-081-0156-6 64 pages

The book, completely illustrated in marquetry, tells the story of a tree that has no patience with the slowness of its growth. As long back as it can remember, it just wants to grow big as fast as possible, bloom, and bear fruit. It only thinks about the future. The book deals with the relationship between people and time and shows that it is not necessary to anticipate stages of life before they would naturally come. In the author’s words: “Discover and respect your time because each one of us has our own timing, whether it be a cloud, a tree, or a bird.” An informative appendix provides information about the art of marquetry and about the origin of various Brazilian woods used in the careful illustrations of Paul Rea, who is also a furniture designer.

A beautiful text about the art of storytelling and the power of influence a teacher had over his students. An old teacher helps people telling stories: all of them are always delighted and encouraged by their stories. The most intriguing part is that he always finds the right story for the right person at exactly the right moment. It seems like he reads their thoughts and feelings. It is so with the character of the book. It is likewise with the talented Ilan Brenman, who literally nailed it with this narrative. The graphic project and the illustrations are differentiated and call a lot of attention. All of the illustrations were created around a hole that is exactly in the middle of the pages, symbolizing the highest score of a target.

The book tells the story of Hermeto Pascoal, an internationally renowned multi-instrumentalist. Throughout his childhood and within the customs of his homeland - the Brazilian northeast – he sought the values, influences, and thoughts that contributed to his human and musical shaping. From the times in which he was called him “Sinhô”, his childhood nickname, the self-taught Hermeto had found music in the most unlikely objects. The musician’s life and the beauty of the Northeastern popular culture mix in this story as with great poetry. A key differentiator is in the final section, where the reader is taught, step by step, how children can follow the example of Hermeto and produce their own instruments using scrap pieces. It also includes a glossary of musical terms and tips on sound design. The book is signed by Edmir Villaça Modolo, the historian, professor of music and of course, great fan of Hermeto.

The History of the Human Body in Brazil

The Iranian Revolution

Organized by Mary Del Priore and Marcia Amantino

ISBN: 9788571398269 11 x 19 cm 152 pages

ISBN: 9788539301201 16 x 23 cm 568 pages The human body receives a comprehensive review in this work organized by Mary Del Priore and Marcia Amantino. The reader will find articles by scholars of distinct areas of knowledge who develop many facets, representations and symbologies of the human body. From the descriptions of Pero Vaz de Caminha on the body of indigenous females, to the dictatorship of beauty in the 21th century, this book covers a vast array of contributions on this subject. The book moves through the evolution of fashion since the beginning of colonization, referring also to nutrition, hygiene and related diseases. It further analyzes the power of the media in the imposition of styles and aesthetic patterns, in a society increasingly dominated by the appeal of images. Through this anthropologic outline, therefore, readers may broaden their selfperception and their bodily awareness.

By Osvaldo Coggiola

Part of the 20th Century Revolutions collection and directed by historian Emília Viotti da Costa, this volume, written by Osvaldo Coggiola, focuses on the political turmoil in Iran in 1978, the year several protesters took to the streets demanding the end of the monarchy represented by Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi. The author goes back to the circumstances that led to the popular uprising and describes the underlying motivations in the repressive actions of the army, unquestionably loyal to the regime. It is important to recall that due to the media reductionism at that time and thanks to the restricted view concerning the Muslim world, this movement was known as an “Islamic” revolution, as if it somehow represented the reality of an entire people. Osvaldo Coggiola’s work demystifies some of these points and reports on the repercussions of this revolution.

It simultaneously considers the lyrics and melody with the aid of diagrams, a resource developed by the author himself. “It has always been hard to know what constitutes the enchantment and efficiency of the combination of lyric and melody in a song. Luiz Tatit answers this question in a very original, systematic and generous way.” José Miguel Wisnik

Nosso Lar

Memoirs of a Suicide

By Francisco Cândido Xavier

By Yvonne A. Pereira

ISBN: 978-85-7328-671-7 14 x 21 cm 320 pages

ISBN: 978-85-7328-372-3 14 x 21 cm 688 pages

Nosso Lar was the first work dictated by the spirit André Luiz to the medium Chico Xavier. The book had an enormous impact by revealing the daily life of spirits, who study and work in schools, hospitals and work teams in the spirit colony called Nosso Lar. It also reveals how the spirits of those who have died are affected by the thoughts and feelings of their relatives who are still alive. In this book by Andre Luiz, a doctor who lived in Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century, the reader discovers that life after death is full of activity and that spirits continue to evolve, learn and improve. Nosso Lar has already been translated into Spanish, English, German, Japanese, French, Greek, Russian, Finnish and Esperanto.

In this book, the spirit author Camilo Candido Botelho, under the guidance of the spirit Leon Denis, describes his painfilled experience in the spirit realm after his discarnation by suicide. He provides invaluable instruction, especially to those who are considering putting an end to their physical existence. It highlights the greatness of divine mercy displayed toward repentant suicides, providing them the opportunity to understand the full scope of the universe and life by means of courses offered by Higher Spirituality regarding the planetary genesis, the evolution of the self, the immortality of the soul, Christian morality and other themes relevant for the understanding that “No attempt at moral reconstruction will succeed if we remain bound by the ignorance of who we are.” Readers should not stop reading after the initial impact caused by the description of the dramatic scenes portrayed, because the book also shows that there is always a road of return and reconstruction for repentant wrongdoers. There is always hope, and rehabilitation is always possible.

Paul and Stephen

Resurrection and Life

Our Father

By Francisco Cândido Xavier

By Yvonne A. Pereira

By Francisco Cândido Xavier

ISBN: 978-85-7328-274-0 14 x 21 cm 600 pages

ISBN: 978-85-7328-345-7 14 x 21 cm 376 pages

ISBN: 978-85-7328-554-3 16 x 23 cm 104 pages

This is the most famous and longest novel of Spiritist literature. The spirit Emmanuel, through the mediumship of Chico Xavier, describes one of the most emblematic moments of early Christianity: the story of Paul of Tarsus, better known as Saint Paul. The richness of the narrative takes the reader to the Galilee of twenty centuries ago, revealing the spiritual events behind the expansion of Christianity. Besides offering new information on Paul’s conversion at the Gates of Damascus, his escape to the desert and his travels, the book talks about the relationship between Paul and Stephen, the first martyr of Christianity. Paul and Stephen is considered one of the top ten Spiritist books of the 20th century.

In six short stories and two novellas, this work by the spirit of Leo Tolstoy contains an account of immortality beyond the grave. Except for chapter 3, the events take place in Imperial Russia, and are told with the liveliness and creative impetus of the author, who vibrantly transmits teachings about reincarnation, obsession and the human psyche. This volume is indispensable for forming a solid moralintellectual education based on truly Christian principles.

This is a children’s book, but we cannot say though, that it is just another children’s book, because the beautiful, appropriate and intelligent way in which the Lord’s Prayer is treated gives us the chance to learn about the true meaning contained in this prayer that Jesus himself taught us. The author of the book, MEIMEI, is an enlightened spirit who reveals herself to us as a missionary of the good and the light in our daily lives in each of her writings. She is always attentive to children’s education, which is always based on the lessons found in the Gospel of the Lord. The book contains fragments of her kind heart offered to children in the form of an easy-to-understand story. In it they will learn about the meaning of forgiveness, temptation, God’s love and the unwavering shelter that the Father offers us and about our obligations to him so that we might benefit from his kindness and mercy.

A new baby is arriving, but it isn’t here yet. Meanwhile, its brother is anxiously waiting. What will life be like after the baby’s arrival? Will his mom’s love be divided in half? It seems like this belly that just won’t quit growing is making his questions grow too. In this modern fable with humorous associations between a human mother and a cow, the characters are animals and the story takes place in a home atmosphere. The feelings of the calf are similar to those of any child; he feels jealous and afraid of being rejected due to the birth of a little brother.

Beloved is surrounded by animals. Milonga the dog, the cats Figaro and Fidelio, Limpy the rabbit, Balderdash the tortoise and Gossip the sparrow live in her backyard. These friends will be at her side during a difficult time: her parents’ separation. As her family situation changes, Beloved is afraid of losing her animal friends. But Grandma Olga, who lives in a house with a yard, comes to the rescue.

The adolescent Thomas Kyd lives in the port city of Plymouth, England. He accomplishes his dream of living a great adventure by embarking with the fleet commanded by Thomas Cavendish, the most celebrated English navigator of the time, who plans to circumnavigation the globe. Thomas Kyd is surprised not only by natural phenomena, but also learns about human nature by living with violent men and meeting Brazilian natives and Patagonian “giants”. These experiences change his world view. This fictional narrative was inspired by the real trip of Thomas Cavendish in 1592 and the memoirs of Anthony Knivet, one of his crew.

Organized by Antonieta Cunha

By Ana Maria Machado and Luisa Baeta

ISBN: 978-85-260-1520-3 16 x 23 cm 120 pages According to Professor Antonieta Cunha, responsible for this anthology, the reader will notice that most of Ferreira Gullar’s chronicles selected here are about little events related to the author’s daily routine, especially the ones depicting funny situations. Other texts present Brazil and Brazilians with their problems and characteristic features. There are also reflexive chronicles, sometimes painful, about man’s tribulations, and ones on memory, where friends and important recollections of hard times appear together with the beginning of his career in Rio de Janeiro or the time of military dictatorship from 1964 to 1983. Finally, there are some stories reflecting his fascination with childhood.

The Five Senses

Memoirs of a Gigolo

New World in the Tropics

By Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós

By Marcos Rey

By Gilberto Freyre

ISBN: 978-85-260-1402-2 23 x 28 cm 24 pages

ISBN: 978-85-260-1537-1 16 x 23 cm 256 pages

ISBN: 978-85-260-1538-8 16 x 23 cm 376 pages

The five senses turned into poetic prose by the praised writer Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós make the reader think about the expressive, sensitive and creative characteristics of language in its different forms. We produce language by means of the senses. Through language, man communicates with himself, with others and with the world around him. Language, verbal or nonverbal, is present in all human activities and to use it with sensitivity is the challenge of modern society.

This novel takes place in São Paulo in the 1930s and tells the story of a loving triangle formed by Mariano, the prostitute Guadalupe, also known as Lu, and the pimp Esmeraldo. The plot is very well set by one of the city’s most famous columnists. This work has been translated into many languages, including English, Spanish, German and Finish, and was also turned into a film script and broadcast as a miniseries by the main Brazilian television network in 1986.

This work is an enlarged version of another work by Gilberto Freyre: Brazil: An Interpretation, published in New York in 1945, which contains lectures given at the University of Indiana in 1944. New World in the Tropics was originally published in 1959 in New York and its first edition in Portuguese only appeared in 1971. In this book, Gilberto Freyre resumes crucial themes published previously, such as his ideas about the existence of a somewhat benign slavery in Brazil and the country’s condition as an example of ethnic and social democracy within which African and Indian descendents had the opportunity to play important roles in society.

The Official Press, created 120 years ago, produces the Official Gazette that conveys the acts of the State of São Paulo, attributing transparency to the government. Since 1990, it has its own publishing house, with editorial products that reflect interest in public policy themes. The publishing house is involved with the fields of history, sociology, education, science, architecture, art, photography and literature, reissuing titles long out of print, identifying essential niches for cultural development, which private publishers can not fill. The printing industry equipped with high technology, is responsible for standards of excellence in printing. On the other hand, titles and authors have been awarded by the most important institution in the country, including for the Best Book of the Year, which the publisher was honored twice.

By Roger Bastide Organization and Preface: Fraya Frehse and Titan Jr, Samuel

ISBN: 978-85-7060-694-5 22.5 x 14.0 cm 184 pages The most impressive characteristic in these stories is the way they are narrated. A compassionate author plays with evocations and the toughness of the real and conflicting world. With a genuine style, he takes the reader to the heart of literature, catches him with a strong power of suggestion. Monologues, dialogues, descriptions and reports are blended in a continuous tissue. For his concision and rhythm his tales remind us Cortázar’s, when the sharpness of reality threats us as a risk. Melhem owns a unique language. Milton Hatoum, acclaimed writer, considers him, for his storytelling skills, one of the leading literature writers in Brazil.

ISBN: 978-85-7060-963-2 27.6 x 18 cm 168 pages French sociologist, Roger Bastide arrived in Brazil in 1938, staying in the country for 16 years to research Brazilian related issues.

The architect João Filgueiras Lima - Lelé, is one of the most important names of the modern movement. Though he was disciple of Niemeyer, his stile took off thanks to his own methods and the characteristics of his work. He threw himself into the knowledge of architectural issues related to industry and nation development, seeking costeffective solutions, without prejudice to plasticity. The book shows revolutionary projects, from the construction of urban equipments to serial schools, built in armed mortar, as well as the public hospitals, for which the furniture and a ventilation system were designed to eliminate the air conditioning usage.

In this book, the photographer Iatã Cannabrava brings together images from the periphery of several Latin American metropolises, which offers the reader a different view of an outcast world at the borders of the cities. But they don’t serve as a denunciation to social exclusion since the images reveal another urban culture and it modus Vivendi. The author, states that there is another city right across the corner. The book is a collection of photographs several others cities right across the corner. The photos are not about violence or poverty, but a creative, pulsating life synthesized in work of precise aesthetics sense.

ISBN: 978-85-7060-611-2 19.0 x 12.5 cm 136 pages The book is based on William Faulkner’s journey to Brazil in 1954 for the International Writers Congress. Antonio Dutra, a young historian and writer, researched to reconstruct the circumstances of that period and, in a fictional language, he recovered Faulkner’s days in the country, with their myths and truths. Faulkner did not leave his Jack Daniel’s, in spite of what he did not stop his acid and lucid critics of racism in his country. Surrounded by intellectuals, he enjoyed the most populous Brazilian city, surprised by its cosmopolitanism. The author builds a picture of a distracted and introspective, Faulkner, refractory to social life.

Sorceries of the Old Mulatta

ISBN: 978-85-60160-72-3 20 x 25 cm 408 pages

One of the leading intellectual references in Brazilian culture, renowned composer and creative partner to musicians such as Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil and Milton Nascimento, Nei Lopes makes his debut as a novelist with this unique work that transports the reader to a mythological Rio de Janeiro. Set in Praça Onze, the cradle of samba, the story spans the years between 1870 and 1930, and is filled with baiana women, samba beats, Carnival street parties and religious manifestations. In this work of historical fiction, Nei Lopes investigates the syncretic interplay between Candomblé, Catholicism and Muslim culture. Through a criticism of the distortions of Islamic culture, he produces an exquisite return to the origins of Brazilian identity, deeply influenced by the African diaspora.

Ten years after the publication of the first volume of narratives from the 90’s Generation, which marked an era in Brazil and introduced or further propelled writers such as Marçal Aquino, Marcelino Freire, Luiz Ruffato and Rubens Figueiredo, Nelson de Oliveira returns to organize this new collection of short stories, this time from authors who emerged during the first decade of the 21st century. Zero Zero Generation aims to provide readers a gateway to the best in contemporary Brazilian literature and includes unpublished stories from João Filho, Andréa del Fuego, Daniel Galera, Marne Lúcio Guedes, Ana Paula Maia, Tony Monti, Lourenço Mutarelli, Santiago Nazarian, José Rezende Jr., Carola Saavedra, Carlos Henrique Schroeder, Veronica Stigger and Lima Trindade, among others.

The novel is set in an alternate reality in an unnamed city. It begins by describing a world where the publication of books has been strictly prohibited. Little by little, however, new works mysteriously begin to appear in the library run by the fearsome Frederico and then around the world. As the enigma surrounding the prohibited books grows, people begin disappearing. And then the reader is transported to the stifling underground world of the demonic bookmakers, strange creatures who abduct human beings and use them as workers for a printing press at the center of the Earth. The absurd is given free reign and the author’s surprising creative ability is revealed through dialogues with magical realism and dystopian fantasy, transformed in original ways. Awards: Casa de Las Américas 2011

In her first novel, Christiane Tassis tells the story of the photographer Henrique Carvalho, a man of many women, filled with conflict and doubt, who could die at any minute from his cerebral tumor. In an attempt to escape total amnesia since the disease is gradually eating away at his memory, he seeks out Lúcia, an ex-girlfriend, and proposes that she write his biography. It is an attempt, perhaps unconscious, to pursue something deeper and more obscure: his inner self, which not even he knows. With occasionally fragmented language, but without losing the storyline, Tassis delicately steers the narrative, even while dealing with an issue as thorny as death. Instigating and unsparing, the book is being adapted into a film that is expected to hit theaters in 2012. Rights sold: Portugal

Lightning strikes a house in the middle of a valley. The mother and father, in one room, are struck. From that point forward, their three small children go on to experience different destinies. The oldest, Nico, begins working as a hired hand at a farm; the middle brother, who is a midget, goes into foster care. The sister is trained by nuns in an orphanage and spends the story wandering, without ever settling down. In the intricate tangle of stories that compose the debut novel of Andréa del Fuego, the characters inhabit the gap between the archaic and the modern, moving through the tense space between cosmopolitanism and localism. In a lyrical and refined narrative that discreetly flirts with the fantastic, the author provides a breath of renewal to Brazilian literature.

Once upon a time there was a very rare and very sad color called Flicts which was searching for a friend from among the innumerous colors of the universe.

But nothing was Flicts…so he decided to disappear.

An autobiographical novel in which the creatures that exerted a fundamental role in the author’s early childhood are transformed into characters. The book captures, in an eminently lyric tone, the childhood world of Zezé.

Both have to deal with preconceived ideas present in the societies in which they live. Inspired by a real episode, Nei Lopes, one of the main Brazilian authors who’s concerned with rescuing our African heritage, builds an extremely beautiful tale, whose major lesson is the hope that one day there will be no more prejudice. And that – using the author’s words – “the best way to understand people is to meet them, get to know them and feel that every person is a human being, even though their appearance might be very different from ours.”

On the Sharks’ Route - Slave Trading and Other Voyages By Joel Rufino dos Santos with illustrations by Rafael Fonseca ISBN: 978-85-347-0421-2 20.5 x 27.5 cm 72 pages This book is a voyage in which the reader is invited to let go of a deeprooted and naive idea: the idea that Brazil is a white-based civilization with a merely accessory contribution of black and native indigenous people. Thus, in order to disclose the falseness of such a conception and to highlight the importance of the African contribution to the shaping of modern societies, the author draws a panorama of African societies before the arrival of the European explorers, describing the complexity of their social organizations, their ethnic and linguistic variety and the history of their population groups, from pre-history to the 20th century. Then, Joel Rufino dos Santos recreates the voyage of a slave ship, using this semi-fiction to discuss the impact of colonialism on African societies, from different pointsof-view – demographically, economically and politically.

Adinkra - African Wisdom Symbols Organized by Elisa Larkin Nascimento and Luiz Carlos Gá ISBN: 978-85-347-0429-8 13.5 x 18.5 cm 216 pages Adinkra comes at a good time to feature the philosophical and aesthetic Ashanti universe which developed in Ghana and then traveled to the other side of the world. Reuniting the adinkra symbols, the organizers of this volume provide us with an excellent model that will greatly contribute to set the stage of consciousness about cosmovisions of continental Africa and their meanings for Brazil and the society of the western hemisphere. Adinkra is an ancient African writing system. The importance of this fact is unfathomable because the ethnocentric European culture denied that Africa had a history, claiming its people never created a writing system. That’s a mistake, since, besides Egyptian hieroglyphs, there were several African texts before the advent of Arabian writing. In Portuguese, English, French and Spanish.

Candomblé Well Explained – The Bantu, Iorubá and Fon Nations By Odé Kileuy and Vera de Oxaguiã Organized by Marcelo Barros ISBN: 978-85-347-0423-6 16 x 23 cm 368 pages Candomblé Well Explained is the result of research conducted by a babalorixá and his daughter-of-saint who, motivated by their own practical experience, decided to elucidate concepts and themes very recurrent in the religious practices of those who belong to the three nations herein analyzed with greater focus – Bantu, Iorubá and Fon. Before this book, these themes had never been the object of such deep theoretical reflection. All questions presented in this book are religious-based.

This book provides its readers with a full and scathing analysis of more than five hundred years of Brazilian history.

This book was awarded with the Jabuti Prize as Best Brazilian Book on Human Sciences in 2009.

The book shows Renato Imbroisi’s career as a consultant in handicraft design through his reports of successful partnerships with textile artisans. The projects – representing all regions of Brazil and especially embroidery, basketry, crochet, lace and weaving – feature photographs of the most significant example in each group. The book ends with a description of the stages of design consulting, including aspects such as professionalism in administration, sales, entrepreneurship and environmental issues, among others, and a brief historical account of the emergence of craft and design.
