March 2019Eine eigene Zukunft
by María Dueñas
Im Jahr 1936 holt der Vater die drei Töchter nach, aus der andalusischen Provinz mitten hinein in die Hauptstadt der Welt: New York. Hier sollen sie im Restaurant helfen. Doch als der Vater stirbt und das Geld kaum zum Überleben reicht, wissen sich Victoria, Mona und Luz nicht anders zu helfen: Sie verwandeln das väterliche Lokal in einen Nachtklub. Gemeinsam begeben sie sich auf ein verwegenes Abenteuer in den Häuserschluchten Manhattans. Sie begegnen der Liebe, verfallen der Leidenschaft zur Musik und kosten den süßen Geschmack der Unabhängigkeit (zum allerersten Mal) … María Dueñas hat einen ergreifenden Schwesternroman geschrieben. Ein Buch über drei starke Frauen, die sich einen Platz in der Fremde erkämpfen, über Familienbande und den Glanz der ersten großen Gefühle.

August 2021Involução e outros contos para um mundo em crise
Colectânea de contos traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária 2020
by Sandra Tamele
Neste terceiro volume da Colectânea de Contos Traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária, apresentamos seis contos publicados entre 2017 e 2019 no âmbito do Caine Prize for African Writing e da colectânea New Short Fiction from Africa: ‘Involução’ da autoria da sul-africana Stacy Hardy que aborda abertamente a sexualidade da mulher, também preocupações sociais e políticas, faz alusão a questões como a degradação ambiental, o colonialismo e direitos da mulher, ancorados numa teatralidade conceptual necessária para que o conto não se torne efémero e engaje o sentido de humor do leitor para o aproximar da mente aberta de Hardy. ‘A heroína misteriosa’ ou ‘Mavbanelo na mayi’ em Bitonga, é da autoria da Tanzaniana Lydia Kasese. Ela escreve sobre as expectativas e pressões sociais que levam as mulheres a desejarem concertar tudo. Neste conto Kasese traz destramente à luz questões sobre o abuso de menores e o seu impacto sobre as famílias na Tanzânia e, não só. Alinafe Malonje estreou-se nesta colectânea da Short Story Day com o conto ‘Manutenção de Rotina’, um registo metafísico de um hotel: parte alegoria, parte meditação com um subtil comentário sobre o que significa ser mulher no Malawi. Natasha Omokhodion-Kalulu Banda cria um fabuloso hotel de fantasia que contém realidades sinistras, construindo um persuasivo mundo alternativo. Tariro Ndoro em ‘A lenda das duas irmãs’, ou ‘Xihitana xa vamakwavu na makwavu’ em Changana, traz uma abordagem arrepiante dos perigos da saudade, onde a busca por uma irmã num hotel de luxo em Victoria Falls tem um fim fantasmagórico. Mampianina Randria nos apresenta em ‘O Gatilho’, ou ‘Niyódeké sê xidúvúlá’ em Changana, um conto com um ritmo cerrado e um desfecho totalmente inesperado onde uma mulher que lida com as frustrações de quem entra na vida adulta.

Family & home stories (Children's/YA)October 2017Mexique
El nombre del barco
by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas
On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one. This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.

FictionThe logic of damage
by Luz Vitolo
Who hasn’t suffered pain or caused it to others? Hurt can be voluntary or premeditated, lethal or miniscule, but impossible to ignore.Luz Vítolo, with a raw and acute eye explores themes as delicate as preadolescent sexuality, suicide, sickness and the aftermath of an accident.These stories, like a gut punch, leave us out of breath and force us to recognize ourselves as vulnerable beings faced with the inevitable pain of being alive. “Tales of a superior intelligence. They’ll survive because they allow the reader to tremulously settle into the empty spaces, fill them in, and make them their own”.Luis Mey

Luz & Tom
by Laureatti, Claudio
Luz & Tom Os diferentes eixos temáticos (amor, política, transcendência, humor, a cidade, entre outros) podem ser encontrados neste livro onde alguns poemas ganham o palco enquanto poesia encenada e/ou canção, valendo-se Laureatti da sua primeira formação em teatro. Isto é, um poeta-ator que, de seus próprios escritos, e do diálogo com o teatro em poemas encenados e, talvez, sobretudo na interatividade com a própria cultura de saraus na qual está inserido, enquanto sujeito coletivo e histórico, apresenta-nos inesgotáveis possibilidades de significações e ressignificações do mundo e do trabalho poético, inclusive até, é claro, com algumas canções e cenas teatrais do livro de poemas escrito de próprio punho, Luz & Tom.”.(Cláudio Antônio da Silva. Em artes, Cláudio Laureatti. Natural de São Paulo. Poeta e ator, participa da cena poética dos saraus desde os anos 90. Integrou a Cooperifa e foi um dos vencedores da Quinta Bienal de Arte, Ciência e Cultura da UNE. Light & tone The different thematic axes (love, politics, transcendence, humor, city, among others) can be found in this book where some poems come into the scene as poetry and/or staged song, where Laureatti is making use of his first training, in theater. In other words, an actor-poet who, from his writings, and from the dialogue with the theater in staged poems and, perhaps, mainly in interactivity with the very culture of soirees in which he is inserted, as a collective and historical subject, presents himself in the inexhaustible possibilities of meanings and reinterpretations of the world and poetic work, including, of course, some songs and theatrical scenes from the book of poems by its own author, Light & Tone.” (Cláudio Antônio da Silva. Known as Cláudio Laureatti. Born in São Paulo, poet and actor, participates in the poetry scene of soirees since the 90s. He was a partner at Cooperifa and was one of the winners of the 5th Biennial of Art, Science and Culture at UNE.
