        Tutte le Furie

        by Pietro Nicolaucich

        Hatred can sometimes turn into addiction. What happens when this feeling is so ingrained that you want your nemesis to die? After decades of unsolved duels, the eternal feud between two sworn enemies ends with an unexpected suicide. The legacy of this decision is a mysterious book, containing enigmatic stories that revolve around the themes of Fate, Cyclicity and Death, leading back to personal experiences. ---  L'odio talvolta può trasformarsi in una dipendenza.Cosa accade quando questo sentimento è talmente radicato da far desiderare la morte della propria nemesi? Dopo decenni di duelli irrisolti, l’eterna faida tra due nemici giurati trova la conclusione in un inatteso suicidio. L’eredità di questo gesto è un libro misterioso il cui contenuto ne cela le motivazioni. Un biglietto scritto prima di togliersi la vita, evidenzia la centralità del testo per la scelta fatta. Le storie fantastiche, dai contenuti neri, nascondono un significato che deve essere scoperto. Un albero che sanguina, un’isola che sorge sulle acque di un naufragio, un uomo che vive in due direzioni temporali opposte sono solo alcuni dei racconti enigmatici che ruotano attorno ai temi del Fato, della Ciclicità e della Morte, riconducendo a vissuti personali.Pietro Nicolaucich, in una struttura narrativa a scatole cinesi fra thriller, realismo magico, orrore, avventura, nostalgia e memoria, sa tenere alto l’interesse con uno stile narrativo onirico che sconfina nell’assurdo, estendendo il suo linguaggio come tentacoli rampicanti che tutto avvolgono, generati dall’inconscio più recondito.

        MUTATIONS: DISSONANCES OF PROGRESS

        by Adauto Novates (editor)

        The eleventh book in the series Mutations, Dissonances of progress discusses how the progress of technology brought undeniable benefits to humanity – such as advances in medicine and communication –, improving our daily life. On the other hand, it brought speed and superficiality to the relations of the human being with its surroundings, and degraded several aspects of current life with the exacerbation of individualism, the substitution of moral values, the overestimation of religious beliefs, the economy as the utmost referential of life in common, the knowledge of specialists to the detriment of thinkers. The essays in this volume analyze this situation and indicate paths for reflection.

        Society and culture in Dalcidio Jurandir

        by Willi Bolle

        This book presents an overview of Amazonian history and analyzes the novel Cycle of the Far North, by Dalcidio Jurandir, a work that represents the social inequality and exclusion inherent to Amazonian society. Willi Bolle rescues the work of this important, albeit unknown, author, emphasizing Dalcidio Jurandir’s contribution to our understanding of Amazonian culture. In his work, Jurandir describes the quotidian of those living in the periphery of society, and advocates, quite emphatically, quality education for the poor. He also registers the social dialect of the inhabitants of the Amazon, in a document of the cultural memory of the region.

        Dissident identity

        themes for a new Brazilian history

        by Edgard Leite

        In ‘Dissident identity: themes for a new Brazilian History’, Edgard Leite continues the work done in 'Predators', which addresses the Brazilian history from the other side, rescuing facts, contradictions and ideas that, over the years and because of a historiography often biased, remained forgotten. A thorough job and an arduous task which the author is not exempt, but faces; as well as facing certain tradition in historical studies. With a concise writing, the author develops his argument from the idea that, since the Copernican revolution, mankind turned to quantity over quality. It is precisely this world that will emerge from Brazil, since the arrival of Europeans will just at a time when the effects of the Copernican turning shall introduce into Europe. Another important point for understanding the history of Brazil will be the secularization of the state, which is strengthened by the Enlightenment and the French Revolution is, above all, its most acute event. Understanding the relationship between state and religion and, especially, the understanding of the concept of mind, will be central to a discussion of the values that shape - or fail to shape - a society. The book ends with the 1964 event, and the reader will wait that the author addresses in forthcoming books, the continuation of Brazilian history. Always with his provocative and powerful bias.

Some cities – Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Montevideo, among others – are studied in order to capture the intimate and inextricable relations between city and culture.
