At Home in the Street: Street Children of Northeast Brazil
ISBN: 9780521598699 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Through innovative fieldwork and ethnographic writing, Hecht lays bare the received truths about the lives of Brazilian street children. This book changes the terms of the debate, asking not why there are so many homeless children in Brazil but why - given the oppressive alternative of home life in the shantytowns - there are in fact so few.

The Museum of Useless Efforts
ISBN: 9780803287648 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Museum of Useless Efforts Cristina Peri Rossi renders familiar, everyday situations uncanny through lyrical reinterpretations; at the same time, she somehow makes the uncanny appear quite ordinary. Crafting peculiar-and sometimes claustrophobically small-worlds, Peri Rossi explores the universal themes of desire, violence, and truth and the simultaneous and contradictory human capacities to repress and resist, speak and silence, desire and ignore. In these tales an insomniac is tormented by a stubborn lamb that refuses to jump over the fence; the momentary hesitation of a man on a...
