        Tanta’s Expedition (Revised Edition)

        by Nakagawa Rieko, Yamawaki Yuriko

        Tanno Tanta is the bravest boy in Kurinoki-machi (“Chestnut Town”). On Tanta’s fifth birthday, a white envelope lands at his feet. Inside the envelope, Tanta finds an “expedition map,” and immediately sets out to see what awaits him there. He buys a leather hat at the hat store, a snack at the candy store, and a telescope at the toy store before setting out on his journey. Tanta marches along, loudly chanting, “I am Tanno Tanta, chief of the Lion Mountain adventurers.” Before long, he meets a leopard cub. “Hey, you!” he calls out to the cub. “Are you with me?” The cub immediately answers, “I am,” and introduces himself as Baribari Barihi. He was actually the one who sent Tanta the map, wanting to celebrate the boy's birthday. Soon becoming fast friends, Tanta and Barihi enter a dense, dark jungle. Chanting “Now for a jungle expedition. It’s not scary, because we’re not alone,” they make their way through the trees to arrive at . . . Barihi’s house! The reader of this book all but becomes Tanta, examining the map, making preparations, and striding through the jungle with Barihi. Children are sure to love every moment of Tanta’s excitement-filled fifth birthday. Each page has vividly colored illustrations by Yamawaki Yuriko, enriching and broaden the world of the story and further feeding the reader’s imagination. The map on the flyleaf is also essential.

      • Two Nordic Short Novels

        by Ana Flecha Marco

        The title of the book, Two Nordic Short Novels, signals to the reader exactly what to expect: two short fictions set in Scandinavia.  These stories are not only linked by length and latitude but also by the fact that they are a sheer delight to read. Story of Ø tells the tale of the handful of inhabitants left living on a tiny island in the Norwegian Sea, which is sinking inexorably due to climate change.  The islanders decide to try and conserve the collective memory of the land that has been their home for so many generations; a memory that lies in the objects and traditions that have shaped their personal and shared landscape. Mancha vividly conjures up the impressions of young woman as she arrives in Flekke, a small Norwegian village, to teach Spanish.  The village is populated by a kaleidoscopic range of inhabitants whom the teacher grows to understand as she interacts with them day by day.  The story unfolds with a refreshing lightness of touch, mixing humour and insight into cultural diversity with subtlety and skill.

        Tita

        by Marie Houzelle

        This book is a delight! - Anne Korkeakivi Like Louise Fitzhugh's classic Harriet the Spy, the story is powered by a precocious and independent loner whose observations and reports are both charming and moving. Tita is a remarkable debut. .- Katharine Weber ...Witty, wry, and clever...I cannot recommend it enough! - Janet Skeslien Charles   This book has a charm so unique and powerful, it pulls you in simply, effortlessly...I loved it.-Nicola Keegan,   There’s nothing simplistic about this novel. Tita is not an exercise in blind nostalgia for a lost past. It is a rich and warm, yet open-eyed portrait of a place and time just beyond our current reach. It’s a book worth savoring.– Judith Starkson – New York Journal of Books Tita is seven, and she wonders what’s wrong with her. She has perfect parents. She puts on plays with her friends, spies on adults, challenges her teacher, even manages to read forbidden books. She should be happy. But she dreams of a time without meals, and keeps worrying about her mother’s whereabouts, spoiling her own life for no reason at all. Tita wants to be good – but how? As her beloved small town vibrates to age-old Latin rituals on the verge of slipping away, Tita finds refuge - and a liberation - in books.

        Universidad y conflictividad social

        Aportes desde la enseñanza del derecho

        by Leonardo Pitlevnik (comp.)

        Raises Michael Burawoy: "We have to rethink the meaning of the public university. The issue is not only who has access to the university, or how much it costs, but rather what responsibility does he assume before society, what dialogue he can build with the different public actors ". Among the crises pointed out by Boaventura de Sousa Santos, I understand that today we are facing the crisis of the university education model of and for the elites. It must also be a challenge to think about these conflicting crowded universities. The works that this work brings together allow us to think about the constitution of a university in which there is a community of faculties, professors, students and researchers where they collectively discuss what the university is and what its place in society is. The topics addressed, the prison question, the law in the towns of the city of Buenos Aires, training in criminal law for members of the administration of justice, machismo in legal education, critical pedagogical proposals, the teaching model of the Faculty of Law, give account of the potential expansion that these efforts had together. These texts challenge us, they demand a lot from us, they put us in trouble. And they also commit us to transform (us) into social reality, and thus also liberate (us), inevitably jointly, with rights and conflicts.

        ARAWETÉ

        A Tupi people from the Amazon forest

        by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (author), Camila de Caux (author) and Guilherme Orlandini Heurich (author)

        Result of an academic research carried out in the 1980s by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, this book was published in 1992, following an edition adapted for wider, non-specialized audiences who showed great interest in the Araweté way of life. This third edition, revised and expanded with new chapters based on recent studies, celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of the pioneering research by one of the most respected Brazilian anthropologists, and, above all, retrieves the struggle of this people to survive, resist and reinvent themselves without losing their culture.
