Ao ritmo do Harlem
by Colson WhiteheadDepois de dois prémios Pulitzer, Colson Whitehead volta a colocar o dedo na grande ferida da América, construindo um romance desassombrado e mordaz sobre desigualdade e injustiça, que é também uma carta de amor ao bairro nova-iorquino do Harlem. Ray Carney tem uma história semelhante à de várias outras do seu bairro. É vendedor de mobília, pai de família, homem pacato. Pouca gente sabe que ele descende de uma linhagem de rufiões e que, sob a aparência de normalidade, há várias pontas soltas no seu caminho. Como o dinheiro nem sempre chega, Ray desenrasca-se com esquemas trapaceiros e biscates pouco recomendáveis, à boleia das atividades ilícitas do primo Freddie. Mas há um dia em que os planos dão para o torto e Ray cai numa teia de corrupção, crime e pornografia, a que não faltam polícias duvidosos e arruaceiros sem escrúpulos. Começa aqui a sua vida dupla e Ray vai percebendo melhor quem realmente puxa os cordelinhos por ali. Um mistério policial entrelaçado com a história de uma família comum, encenado no fervilhante Harlem dos anos 60, sobre o pano de fundo do movimento dos direitos civis, numa época histórica irrepetível, que mudaria para sempre o mundo. Colson Whitehead - "mestre do romance", um dos mais premiados escritores da atualidade e voz literária fundamental na história da cultura negra - oferece-nos uma narrativa de crimes e castigos, episódios tragicómicos, pequenas vinganças e grandes disfarces. Um impressionante romance sobre raça e poder, os temas fulcrais da obra deste escritor. «Whitehead oferece-nos aqui a sua magnífica eloquência, numa trama onde se enredam história urbana, estratificação racial, grandes esperanças e pequenos trafulhas.» The New York Times "O leitor é transportado para o centro do movimento dos direitos civis, numa época em que os tumultos no Harlem começaram a transformar a cena política. A partir daqui, Whitehead constrói um romance policial brilhante, capaz de se desdobrar ainda numa reflexão acerca da geografia negra." Financial Times "Desenrolando-se a um ritmo veloz, revelador de arguta capacidade de análise e fino sentido de humor, este é um romance sobre raça, poder e a história do Harlem, sob a capa de um policial pleno de adrenalina." San Francisco Chronicle "Ao contrário dos romances anteriores, A estrada subterrânea e Os rapazes de Nickel, dedicados a temas sérios como a escravatura e o sistema de justiça juvenil, Ao ritmo do Harlem é uma folia desenfreada e cativante. No entanto, também aqui o autor dá voz à devastadora desigualdade histórica que separa negros e brancos na Nova Iorque do século XX." The Independent "Um romance que é alta literatura mas também pura e descomplexada literatura policial." Los Angeles Times "Whitehead dá continuidade a uma longa linhagem de escritores negros que usam de modo subversivo o romance policial, expondo as hipocrisias da justiça, os falsos argumentos morais do capitalismo e o facto de a América ter tido origem num saque de que todos somos cúmplices." The Atlantic Whitehead volta a mostrar que é um mestre da reinvenção." The Washington Post "Whitehead exercita aqui com vigor o seu músculo literário, alargando as expectativas sobre a literatura policial. Este é também um romance social, que questiona a natureza do preconceito e a forma como o lugar de onde vimos impõe limites ao nosso futuro. Ao ritmo do Harlem está construído como uma tragédia em três atos para investigar se Ray Carney conseguirá escapar à vida que lhe foi destinada sem que ele quisesse." The Observer

Ao Toa: Earth Warriors
by Cathie DunsfordA band of passionate conservationists wage war against the ravages of pollution and unregulated genetic engineering in this eco-thriller about sustainable ecology, the morality of science, and the interplay between local interests and the demands of the corporate and political world. New Zealand's ancient Maori tradition blends with feminist ideology as Cowrie and a group of citizens from a traditional New Zealand village take on multinational corporations and the government in order to address the crisis that has overcome their community: an ailing teenager and a wilting coastal ecosystem that they blame on irresponsible pollution legislation and years of thoughtless environmental exposure to unfettered genetic modification.

Aos Pés do David
by Rossella ScatamburloAos pés do David por Rossella Scatamburlo Uma história de amor marcada pela arte, com um toque de mistério. Somos o fruto das nossas relações. O nosso Eu é o somatório das experiências, do contato com os outros, das leituras, das memórias. Quando olhamos no espelho, vemos um reflexo de nós mesmos, efêmero, ligado a um hic et nunc irrepetível, visto que, no momento seguinte, já não nos parecemos mais a nós mesmos porque tudo isso com o que estivemos em contato nos transforma, e nós transformamos aquilo com o que nos relacionamos. Assim, mesmo os objetos que tocamos não são mais os mesmos depois que deixamos nossas digitais sobre eles, enquanto vestígios estratificados e indeléveis. Nisto pensava Beatrice Verdi após ter concluído a sua tese de graduação sobre o David de Michelangelo e depois de ter-se aprofundado no tema da Síndrome de Stendhal. A sua pesquisa havia-a levado a ter contato com o fascinante professor Carlo Regis, mas também com o diabólico Stefano Corona, vigia de sala na Galeria da Academia de Belas Artes de Florença, que nela descobriu sua musa inspiradora para a criação da sua obra perfeita, elaborando às suas costas um terrível plano...
Aotearoa New Zealand in the Global Theatre Marketplace: Travelling Theatre (Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies)
by James WenleyAotearoa New Zealand in the Global Theatre Marketplace offers a case study of how the theatre of Aotearoa has toured, represented and marketed itself on the global stage. How has New Zealand work attempted to stand out, differentiate itself, and get seen by audiences internationally? This book examines the journeys of a dynamic range of culturally and theatrically innovative works created by Aotearoa New Zealand theatre makers that have toured and been performed across time, place and theatrical space: from Moana Oceania to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, from a Māori Shakespeare adaptation to an immersive zombie theatre experience. Drawing on postcolonialism, transnationalism, cosmopolitanism and globality to understand how Aotearoa New Zealand has imagined and conceived of itself through drama, the author investigates how these representations might be read and received by audiences around the world, variously reinforcing and complicating conceptions of New Zealand national identity. Developing concepts of theatrical mobility, portability and the market, this study engages with the whole theatrical enterprise as a play travels from concept and scripting through to funding, marketing, performance and the critical response by reviewers and commentators. This book will be of global interest to academics, producers and theatre artists as a significant resource for the theory and practice of theatre touring and cross-cultural performance and reception.

Apache Caress (Panorama of the Old West #8)
by Georgina GentrySHE WAS HIS CAPTIVE Cholla seethed with fury. The Apache scout had risked his life tracking down renegades for the white man only to find himself chained like an animal on the army prison train. Well, if they wanted a vicious savage, he'd give them one--he'd even force a white woman to help him escape. Sierra Forester had gotten in his way, and he was in no mood to let the beautiful widow go. He didn't intend to harm her, but it was a long way from St. Louis to Arizona, and along the trial he vowed to discover exactly what his lovely captive knew about satisfying a man's desires... and unleashing her own! HE WAS HER PASSION Every day Sierra grew less afraid of her savage captor. At first she thought he would kill her... or worse. After all, her husband had died at the hands of the Apache. But this Indian seemed to have more honor and courage than anyone she'd ever known. As they moved west, the handsome warrior protected her bravely from wild animals and wilder men--and tempted her with delights she'd never imagined. Now her traitorous soul hoped she'd never be free from his muscular embrace and searing touch. Her urges were scandalous, but Sierra could resist no longer. She would give anything to savor the wild ecstasy of his... APACHE CARESS.

There is a rumor that the caves and gold are protected by terrifying witches that have been living in the cave system for thousands of years.

"Why have you brought me to this strange place?" Kathy was astonished at the sight before her. Somehow during the night the Native American dreamcatcher that hung above her bed had snuck into her sleep, stolen her dream man out of the 1870s and transported him here, into her present-day bedroom! Gee whiz, what was a twentieth-century girl to do?
