A macumba dos meus é um terreiro em forma de página, onde versos e aquarelas dançam e festejam as espiritualidades afro-indígenas.Nas palavras de Gustavo Prado, a poesia é crítica e contemplativa, questionando as violencias do colonialismo e do racismo, mas tambem celebrando a força dos Orixas, Encantados e Ancestrais.Entre os cantos sagrados, ha espaço para o amor que cura, a amizade que fortalece e a subjetividade que liberta. As ilustraçes em aquarelas, em cores fluidas e vibrantes, acompanham cada poema como oferendas visuais, convidando o leitor a mergulhar em um universo onde o divino e o humano se entrelaçam.A macumba dos meus e um ato de resistencia e beleza um chamado para honrar as raizes, refletir as lutas e se perder (ou se achar) nos misterios do axe.

A novel of identity and resistance from one of Palestines most striking literary voiceswritten entirely from behind bars Nur, a Palestinian refugee from a camp near Ramallah, is often mistaken for an Ashkenazi Jew. Fluent in Hebrew and with a degree in archaeology, he dreams of freedom beyond the fence, and of writing a novel about Mary Magdalene based on the Gnostic Gospels. When he discovers an Israeli ID card in the pocket of a secondhand coat, he assumes a false identity and is hired for an archaeological dig near Megiddo. Passing as an Israeli, he moves through a world previously off-limits and gains insight into the lives of those hes been taught to perceive as enemies. As Nurs borrowed identity deepens, so does the rift within. Through an exploration of this internal conflict, Basim Khandaqjis Arabic Booker-winning novel offers a meditation on the personal toll of occupation and the elusive desire to belongfully, honestly, and without fear.

This is the incredible story of why and how Winston Churchill in his mid-50s decided to write an autobiography designed to reshape his image and to reduce an overwhelming personal debt burden. The book, My Early Life, emerged from a truly Churchillian writing process that was both complicated and highly focused. An extensive dictation process using both external research and his own previously written materials created a rough draft. Then additional researchers, reviewers and publishers on two continents helped mold the final product. My Early Life is Churchills Aeneid and many sections approach lyric poetry in the style of writing and in its visual and emotional impact. How all this came about is described and analyzed in this book. It further explores just how successful an endeavor this was and the global impact this book has had on literature and as a source for educational and literary publications.

A Scots Quair is revolutionary - innovative in its form, deft and humorous in its use of the Scots language, courageous in its characterisation and politics. Central to the trilogy is Chris Guthrie, one of the most remarkable female characters in modern literature. In Sunset song, Gibbons finest achievement, the reader follows Chris through her girlhood in a tight-knit Scottish farming community: the seasons, the weddings, the funerals, the grind of work, the gossip. As the Great War takes its toll, machines repalce the old way of life. Cloud Howe and Grey Granite take Chris from her rural homeland to life in an industrial Scotland and the desperate years of the Depression. The triology as a whole is a major achievment, a picture of society undergoing traumatic and far-reaching transformation. Always readable, never sentimental, A Scots Quair is one of the most important works of Scottish literature.
