› Find signed collectible books: 'Estacao Carandiru'
Drauzio inicia seu livro com uma foto da Casa de Detenção, mostrando suas dependências. Ele nos conta que quando menino assistia eletrizado filmes de cadeia em branco e preto e quando em 1989, vinte anos depois de formado médico cancerologista, foi gravar um vídeo sobre Aids na enfermaria da penitenciária do Estado. Quando entrou e a porta fechou-se atrás de si, sentiu a mesma emoção de quando assistia às matinês no cine Rialto no Brás. Algumas semanas depois, ofereceu seu trabalho ao Dr. Manoel Schechtman, responsável pelo departamento médico prisional, para fazer um trabalho voluntário de prevenção à Aids, iniciando-o em 1989.

In all the history of Latin America, few historians have been so influential as the Brazilian scholar Joao Capistrano de Abreu. His own life reflected the changes that swept his country and his academy: the nineteenth century scion of a remote Brazilian province, he paid his way to the capital by selling a slave he had inherited; he went on to bring Brazilian history into the twentieth century, moving it from patriotic sentimentalism to rigorous, rational scholarship. Now, for the first time, his central work, a classic of historical literature, appears in a sharp, clear English translation.
In Chapters in Brazil's Colonial History, Abreu created an integrated history of Brazil in a landmark work of scholarship that is also a literary masterpiece. Breaking with previous writers, who had taken a plodding governor after governor approach that rested upon administration and politics, Abreu offers a startlingly modern analysis of the past, based on the role of the economy, settlement, and the occupation of the interior. In these pages, he combines sharp portraits of dramatic events--close fought battles against Dutch occupation in the 1650s, Indian resistance to often brutal internal expansion--with insightful social history. A master of Brazil's ethnographic landscape, he provides detailed sketches of daily life for Brazilians of all stripes. Abreu first won acclaim for a linguistic study of a Brazilian Indian language; he brings that knowledge to play as he describes the interaction between colonial settlers, African slaves, and native inhabitants, as cultures mixed in the creation of the modern nation. He also stresses the role of the physical landscape and environment in ways that presaged contemporary developments in historical scholarship. And along the way, his distinctive voice provides the reader with rare pleasure. After quoting a vivid description of a typical seventeenth century atrocity, for example, he interrupts his narrative to ask, "Do horrors such as this make it worth thanking the bandeirantes for taming this land and making it part of Brazil?"
This accomplished new translation of a Brazilian classic will be an integral volume in Oxford's new Library of Latin America. Never before available in English, this superb narrative opens Brazil's rich, fascinating past to the general reader, and offers scholars access to a great turning point in historical scholarship.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Dom Casmurro'
The unreliable narrator and the fictional memoir are long-standing literary traditions. Nineteenth-century Brazilian author Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis uses both to brilliant effect in his novel Dom Casmurro. Narrated by Bento Santiago, this memoir looks back over a life filled with the suspicion of betrayal: Bento is convinced that his wife had an affair with his best friend, and that his son was the result of it. Though he has no real evidence to support this belief, Bento becomes so obsessed with it that, in the end, he commits crimes far worse than the suspected adultery to avenge himself. The memoir itself is a kind of justification for his actions; Bento, now alone, recreates the environment of his childhood and attempts to rewrite the facts of his life--in essence, reconstructing the past.
Among readers familiar with Latin American literature, Machado is considered a master. His novels blend black comedy with deadly accurate social commentary and an unerring perception of human psychology to create works that are brilliant, complex without being opaque, and joys to read. The Oxford University Press edition is ably translated by John Gledson and accompanied by critical essays that will help orient readers unfamiliar with Machado's work. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Gabriela Clavo Y Canela'
La clásica historia de amor prohibido de la literatura latinoamericana.
En 1925, la riqueza producida por el cacao ha permitido el desarrollo económico de Ilheús, pero la costumbres de sus habitantes todavía son primitivas y violentas. En este pueblo, el árabe Nacib Saad, desesperado al perder al cocinero de su popular café, contrata a la bella mulata Gabriela que, para su sorpresa, resultará ser no sólo una gran cocinera sino un encantador beneficio para su negocio. Pero, ¿qué diría la gente si Nacib se casara con ella?
Gabriela perdurará en la literatura como una hermosa figura femenina, simple y espontánea, mas allá del bien y del mal. Con su lirismo inigualable, Jorge Amado ha transmitido al personaje las cualidades típicas del pueblo brasileño: ternura, sensualidad sin malicia, alegría envolvente, feliz primitivismo. Y el romance conmovedor de Nacib y Gabriela se ubicará, sin duda, en la galería de los amantes célebres de la historia de la literatura. [via]

At the age of fifty-five, former president Theodore Roosevelt took part in an expedition to the far reaches of the Amazon. Mind you, in time and context this was an extraordinary thing; at this point in history, you'd need to make an expedition into space to get as far away from workaday life as Roosevelt's party went. This book is Roosevelt's journal during the expedition into the unknown in the name of science -- an expedition into very real and very mortal peril. . . . [via]
