La Chanson de Roland (Canzone di Orlando o Rolando), scritta nella seconda meta dellXI secolo, appartiene al ciclo carolingio ed e tra le opere piu significative della letteratura medievale francese. Essa trae spunto da un evento storico, la battaglia di Roncisvalle, avvenuta il 15 agosto 778, quando la retroguardia di Carlo Magno, comandata dal paladino Orlando (o Rolando), prefetto della Marca di Bretagna e dagli altri paladini, di ritorno da una spedizione in Spagna, fu attaccata e annientata dai baschi, nella riscrittura epica trasformati in saraceni.

O livro "A Verdade a Passo Lento ou Guerra do Escaravelho contra a Borboleta Constitucional do Porto" é uma obra que, em tom crítico e alegórico, explora os conflitos sociais e políticos da época em que foi escrito. Atraves de uma narrativa que mistura realismo e simbolismo, o autor anonimo utiliza a figura do escaravelho e da borboleta para representar forças opostas na sociedade, abordando temas como a luta pela liberdade, a corrupço e as complexas relaçes de poder. O estilo literario e marcado por uma prosa incisiva e ironica, refletindo um contexto em que a critica social e politica se tornava cada vez mais relevante na literatura portuguesa, especialmente durante periodos conturbados da historia do pais. O autor anonimo, ao escolher permanecer em obscuridade, convida a reflexo sobre a propria condiço do escritor em um contexto opressivo. E possivel que sua posiço marginal tenha influenciado seu desejo de expressar inquietaçes sobre a sociedade portuguesa, uma vez que a obra e profundamente enraizada na busca pela verdade e pela justiça. A ausencia do nome e, por si so, uma declaraço de solidariedade aos que lutam sem reconhecimento no campo das ideias. Recomendo "A Verdade a Passo Lento" a todos que desejam compreender as complexidades da identidade nacional e as tenses sociais em um Portugal em transformaço. Esta obra no apenas enriquece o panorama literario portugues, mas tambem provoca uma reflexo necessaria sobre a condiço humana dentro de sistemas politicos que muitas vezes priorizam o poder em detrimento da verdade e da justiça.

In Man Abroad, the anonymous author presents a compelling narrative that intertwines personal reflection with astute observations on cultural dislocation. This incisive work employs a lyrical prose style, marked by evocative imagery and philosophical musings that capture the struggles of a man navigating foreign landscapes and identities.

Resulta superfluo subrayar el interes de la traducción del Corpus Hippocraticum, ese conjunto de cincuenta y tantos tratados medicos que representan la primera biblioteca científica del Occidente, y que remontan, en su casi totalidad, a fines del siglo V y comienzos del IV a. C. Es decir, a la epoca en que vivio Hipocrates y la generacion de sus discipulos directos. No sabemos cuantos de estos libros fueron escritos por el "Padre de la Medicina", pero se percibe en el conjunto una comun orientacion coherente e ilustrada, un afan de racionalidad y profesionalidad que bien puede deberse al maestro de Cos. La llamada "cuestion hipocratica" (la referente a la autoria concreta de los tratados) no es esencial. Mucho mas importante es comprender el alcance de esta medicina, su empeño humanitario, su afan metodico, y sus limitaciones tambien. No solo para la historia de la ciencia medica, sino tambien para el conocimiento cabal de la cultura griega, todos estos textos son de un gran valor. Este es el primer intento en España de verter al castellano todos los tratados que integran el Corpus Hippocraticum, utilizando las ediciones mas recientes de los textos griegos, anotando las versiones y añadiendo introducciones breves a cada tratado, ademas de la Introduccion General que situa el
