Book excerpt: A Turma da Mônica e do Chico Bento, do consagrado quadrinista Mauricio de Sousa, embarcam em uma aventura com o professor Tupã pela Vila Abobrinha. Com texto de Sérgio Olaya, especialista em agrofloresta, eles vão aprender muito sobre a natureza e seus poderes mais que mágicos. “Estes incríveis personagens que vivem as aventuras desta visita ao sítio da Dona Cotinha e do seu Tonico, onde conhecem o professor Tupã e iniciam sua jornada de conhecimento cheia de curiosidade, descobrem que na floresta não domesticamos todos os animais, que o leite servido às crianças não vem da vaca, que não precisamos usar espantalhos contra as muitas e variadas aves na floresta, dispensando a criação de galinhas. O novo professor que eles conhecem nada com a turma no ribeirão — menos com o Cascão, que foge da água como um gato! E Tupã conta para as crianças na roda da fogueira sobre a sua Escola da Floresta e sobre as árvores que fabricam água! Tudo novo, na prática agroflorestal, uma maneira de produzir com fartura e abundância tudo de que precisamos para viver, com diversidade de plantas e bichos, em consórcio e colaboração de espécies. Professor Tupã fala de ecossistemas e biomas, além de ensinar que vivemos todos em lugares definidos por rios — as bacias hidrográficas. Uma fantástica aventura do conhecimento, com a turma toda descobrindo uma nova tecnologia (!) com a floresta produzindo chuvas, e o convite surpresa de Tupã para que todos passem um tempo fazendo plantios florestais, criando chuvas na sua Escola da Floresta. Ah, e quase ia me esquecendo! Preciso falar do autor deste conto que virou uma historinha com a Turma da Mônica e a Turma do Chico Bento. Ele é um professor para mim também. Sérgio Olaya veio à aldeia Krenak, onde moro, e trouxe sementes variadas, mudas de árvores nativas do Brasil, com uns amigos plantadores de chuvas. Claro que eu retribuí esse presente que nos deram com um convite para a Dança do Fogo. Mas isso é outra história.”
Download or read book The Brothers written by Milton Hatoum and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2002-06-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing a major new voice in Brazilian letters. Set among a Lebanese immigrant community in the Brazilian port of Manaus, The Brothers is the story of identical twins, Yaqub and Omar, whose mutual jealousy is offset only by their love for their mother. But it is Omar who is the object of Zana's Jocasta-like passion, while her husband, Halim, feels her slipping away from him, as their beautiful daughter, RGnia, makes a tragic claim on her brothers' affection. Vivid, exotic, and lushly atmospheric, The Brothers is the story of a family's disintegration, of a changing city and the culture clash between the native-born inhabitants and a new immigrant group, and of the future the next generation will make from the ruins.

Download or read book Amazonia Without Myths written by Commission on Development and Environment for Amazonia and published by The Minerva Group, Inc.. This book was released on 2001-12 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, prepared by the Commission on Development and Environment for Amazonia at the initiative of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty and supported by the Inter-American Development Bank and the United Nations Development Programme, is based on the concept of an Amazonia that exists above and beyond the world of fantasy and myth: an Amazonia of flesh and blood, of human toil, of human history, of human faces and hopes, and future human beings. It is an analysis based not only on the experiences and technologies of today"s world but also, and with greater emphasis, on the wisdom accumulated for centuries by Amazonia itself: standing Amazonia. The Amazon region has the largest area of tropical forest on the planet, and concern for its environmental deterioration extends well beyond the borders of the eight countries that form a part of it. With support from the IDB and UNDP, the Commission on Development and Environment for Amazonia prepared this report that provides data on the region's natural resources, population, health and infrastructure.
Download or read book Jerusalem written by Gonçalo M. Tavares and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One morning late in May, between three and six A.M., a group of lonely men and women wait to be brought together, like the elements in an equation. Ernst Spengler is about to throw himself out his window. Mylia, terminally ill and in enormous pain, goes out to visit a church. Hinnerk Obst, who's always been told by the neighborhood children that he looks like a murderer, walks the streets with a loaded gun. As these characters are manipulated and brought together, a world of violence, fear, pain, and uncertainty is portrayed, where human nature itself, and the mechanisms determining our actions, our fictions, and the elements of our imagination, are laid bare. Jerusalem is a terrifying and grimly humorous summation of the possibilities and limits of the human condition at the beginning of the 21st century." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book A Voyage to India written by Goncalo M. Tavares and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Voyage to India is the story of Bloom, our hero, as he makes his way from Lisbon to India in a decidedly non-heroic age. Gone are the galleons, gone is god; so too the swords of the swashbuckler and sacerdotal certainty. In such an era, where is wisdom to be found? Bloom—ever deliberate, ever longwinded—takes his time getting to India, stopping first in London, then Paris and elsewhere in Europe, making friends, encountering enemies, recounting his life story, revealing the reasons for his flight from Lisbon and his vague hopes for and nagging fears about what he might find in India. Or within himself. His is a melancholic itinerary, an attempt to learn and forget. As our narrator flatly declares: “Life proceeds and is monstrous.” Parodying The Lusiads, Luis de Camões’s sixteenth-century Portuguese epic of seafaring exploration and naval prowess, Tavares’s poem is a solemn requiem of sorts, an investigation into the psyche of humankind in a world where the advance of technology outpaces our ability (or desire) to theorize it, the search for wisdom has been abandoned, and old imperialist dreams have revealed themselves to be a postcolonial nightmare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The final installment in Gon'alo M. Tavares's "Kingdom" cycle to be translated into English, "Klaus Klump: A Man" is a harrowing portrait of a man without values, making his way through a world almost as immoral. Klaus takes care of the family business; he doesn't feel fear, hunger, or love. Klaus plays a game, and this game and its object consist of one thing: making money. No matter who you are, Klaus thinks, there is only one thing of importance: to win rather than lose.
