Neste ABC DE CASTRO ALVES, que define como uma louvacao, Jorge Amado mostra que sua relacao com o poeta dos escravos nao e apenas de admiracao literaria, mas de profunda identificacao pessoal, tanto no plano estetico como no politico e etico.O autor nao se limita a reconstituir, com talento e imaginacao de ficcionista, a vida publica e privada do retratado, mas busca tambem fazer reverberar a potencia de sua poesia, cujos motivos centrais sao o amor e a liberdade.Jorge Amado nos mostra que ha uma coerencia entre a biografia do poeta e sua poesia. Seus amores intensos, sua ativa militancia em prol da Abolicao e da Republica, sua personalidade arrebatadora, tudo isso se traduz na veemencia de seus versos.Escrevendo em 1941, momento critico da Segunda Guerra, quando o Brasil ainda nao entrara no conflito, o autor chama a atencao para o carater engajado e libertario de Castro Alves. Nesse contexto se explicam as diatribes de Jorge Amado, nas notas, contra Machado de Assis e Mario de Andrade, vistos por ele como artistas que se esquivaram da luta politica.Circunstancias historicas a parte, ecoam nessas paginas as palavras mais calorosas do poeta que amou intensamente e conflagrou as ruas de Salvador, Recife, Rio de Janeiro e Sao Paulo antes de morrer precocemente, aos 24 anos.

Debut album by the "The Voice Brasil 2013" winner. Album recorded in English and Portuguese. Highlights: "Mirrors", "Voce existe em mim", "A thousands years", between others. 11 tracks.

In 1983, when acclaimed Brazilian artist Maria Thereza Alves was an art student at Cooper Union in the United States, she returned to her native country to document the backlands of Brazil, where her family is from. Working with the local people in a collaborative process that has become the hallmark of her mature work, Alves photographed their daily lives and interviewed them to gather the facts that they wanted the world to know about them. Unlike documentation created by outsiders, which tends to objectify Brazil’s indigenous and rural people, Alves’s work presents her subjects as active agents who are critically engaged with history.Recipes for Survival opens with evocative, caption-less black-and-white photographs, most of them portraits that compel viewers to acknowledge the humanity of people without reducing them to types or labels. Following the images are texts in which the villagers matter-of-factly describe the grinding poverty and despair that is their everyday life—incessant labor for paltry wages, relations between men and women that often devolve into abuse, and the hopelessness of being always at the mercy of uncontrollable outside forces, from crop-destroying weather to exploitative employers and government officials. Though not overtly political, the book powerfully reveals how the Brazilian state shapes the lives of its most vulnerable citizens. Giving a voice to those who have been silenced, Recipes for Survival is, in Alves’s words, “about we who are the non-history of Brazil.”

Being Daoist: The Way of Drifting with the Current (Revised Edition) provides an interpretation on the basic philosophical ideals of living and thinking as a Daoist. It serves as a primer for Westerners on Daoist teachings and practices, encapsulating the heart of what Stuart Alve Olson has learned from his teachers, from his many years of practicing, and from his study and translation of Daoist works. The chapters on Understanding the Way, The Way of Renewing Life, The Way of Wei Wu Wei, The Way of Immortals, and Following the Daoist Way offer insights into what it means to be Daoist by integrating Lao Zi’s philosophy of naturalism into our lives in a Western context. One of the cornerstones of Being Daoist is living according to our Personal Dao, which allows us to achieve greater peace and contentment in our lives. In this book, Stuart Alve Olson explains the meaning of Personal Dao, and provides guidance on how we can connect with ours. Just as the Chinese character for Dao shows a person drifting along with the current of a watercourse way, finding and then following your Personal Dao is the essence of Being Daoist.
