› Find signed collectible books: 'Mal Secreto'Book summary:O odio espuma. A preguica se derrama. A gula engorda. A avareza acumula. A luxuria se oferece. O orgulho brilha. So a inveja se esconde. Pois foi justamente sobre este pecado tao complexo que se debrucou o jornalista Zuenir Ventura durante quase dois anos. o autor convida o leitor a um mergulho no universo daquele que foi apontado, numa pesquisa exclusiva, entre os brasileiros, como o mais conhecido dos pecados capitais.
Zuenir esbarra em historias e relatos fascinantes de amor, medo e morte. Logo somos apresentados a "Katia", uma jovem perturbadora e voluptuosa que o autor conhece num terreiro de umbanda da Baixada Fluminense. Seguindo a trilha de Katia, protagonista de uma instigante trama de inveja com consequencias tragicas, enveredamos por caminhos insuspeitos e acompanhamos, cada vez mais envolvidos, os seus passos, sem sabermos exatamente onde vao dar. No final, cabe ao jornalista abandonar sua posicao de um simples narrador - que se deixa levar pelos acontecimentos - e assumir o papel de investigador, elucidando o misterio.

Dom Casmurroby Joaquim Maria MacHado De Assis, John A. GledsonISBN 0195103092 (0-19-510309-2)
Softcover, Oxford Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Dom Casmurro'Book summary: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]

So begins the posthumous memoir of Braz Cubas, a wealthy nineteenth-century Brazilian. Though the grave has given Cubas the distance to examine his rather undistinguished life, it has not dampened his sense of humor. In the tradition of Laurence Sterns Tristram Shamdy, Epitaph of a Small Winner is one of the wittiest self-portraits in literary history.[via]More editions of Epitaph of a Small Winner:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Gabriela Clavo Y Canela'Book summary: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]More editions of Gabriela Clavo Y Canela:

The Hour of the Starby Clarice LispectorISBN 0811211908 (0-8112-1190-8)
Softcover, New Directions
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Hour of the Star'Book summary:The Hour of the Star, Clarice Lispector's consummate final novel, may well be her masterpiece.
Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life's unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Colas, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free/She doesn't seem to know how unhappy she should be. Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narratoredge of despair to edge of despairand, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away the reader's preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love and the art of fiction. In her last book she takes readers close to the true mystery of life and leave us deep in Lispector territory indeed. [via]More editions of The Hour of the Star:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Once Minutos / Eleven Minutes'Book summary:Una novela cautivadora y audaz del autor de El Alquimista, bestseller con m&aaucute;s de un millón de ejemplares vendidos. En este nuevo relato, el novelista explora con gran sensibilidad la naturaleza sagrada del sexo y del amor y nos invita a enfrentar nuestros propios prejuicios y demonios.
Once Minutos relata la historia de María, una joven proveniente de una villa brasileña, cuyos primeros roces inocentes con el amor le dejan con el corazón destrozado. A su tierna edad, se convence de que jamás hallará el amor verdadero; al contrario, considera que "El amor es algo horrible que produce sufrimiento." Un encuentro casual en Río la lleva a Ginebra, donde sueña con conseguir fama y fortuna. Sin embargo, termina trabajando de prostituta.
En Ginebra, la opinión desesperanzada que María tiene del amor, se pone a prueba al conocer a un apuesto joven pintor. En esta odisea de descubrimiento personal, María debe elegir entre recorrer el camino de la oscuridad, el del sexo por el sexo mismo, o arriesgarlo todo para descubrir su propia "luz interior" y las posibilidad del sexo sagrado, es decir, del sexo dentro del contexto del amor.

The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubasby Gregory Rabassa, Joaquim Maria MacHado De AssisISBN 0195101693 (0-19-510169-3)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas'Book summary:Fans of Latin American literature will be thrilled by Oxford University Press's new translations of works by 19th-century Brazilian author Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis. His novels are both heartbreaking and comic; his limning of a colonial Brazil in flux is both perceptive and remarkably modern. The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas is written as an autobiography, a chronicle of the erotic misadventures of its narrator, Brás Cubas--who happens to be dead. In pursuit of love and progeny, Cubas rejects the women who want him and aspires to the ones who reject him. In the end, he dies unloved and without heirs, yet he somehow manages to turn this bitter pill into a victory of sorts. What makes Memoirs stand up 100 years after the book was written is Machado's biting humor, brilliant prose, and profound understanding of all the vagaries of human behavior. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Quincas Borba'Book summary:Along with The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas and Dom Casmurro, Quincas Borba is one of Machado de Assis' major works and indeed one of the major works of nineteenth century fiction. With his uncannily postmodern sensibility, his delicious wit, and his keen insight into the political and social complexities of the Brazilian Empire, Machado opens a fascinating world to English speaking readers.
When the mad philosopher Quincas Borba dies, he leaves to his friend Rubião the entirety of his wealth and property, with a single stipulation: Rubião must take care of Quincas Borba's dog, who is also named Quincas Borba, and who may indeed have assumed the soul of the dead philosopher. Flush with his newfound wealth, Rubião heads for Rio de Janeiro and plunges headlong into a world where fantasy and reality become increasingly difficult to keep separate. Brilliantly translated by Gregory Rabassa, Quincas Borba is a masterful satire not only on life in Imperial Brazil but the human condition itself. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Veronika Decides to Die'Book summary:When Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) was a young man, his parents had him committed to mental hospitals three times because he wanted to be an artist--an unacceptable profession in Brazil at the time. During his numerous forced incarcerations he vowed to write some day about his experiences and the injustices of involuntary commitment. In this fable-like novel, Coelho makes good on his promise, with the creation of a fictional character named Veronika who decides to kill herself when faced with all that is wrong with the world and how powerless she feels to change anything. Although she survives her initial suicide attempt, she is committed to a mental hospital where she begins to wrestle with the meaning of mental illness and whether forced drugging should be inflicted on patients who don't fit into the narrow definition of "normal." The strength and tragedy of Veronika's fictional story was instrumental in passing new government regulations in Brazil that have made it more difficult to have a person involuntarily committed. Like any great storyteller, Coelho has used the realm of fiction to magically infiltrate and alter the realm of reality. --Gail Hudson [via]
