📚 É já no próximo dia 26 de Setembro, pelas 16h30, que a Livraria Martins irá receber a autora e jornalista da TVI/CNN Joana Almeida Carvalho para o lançamento do seu novo livro infantil "Grandes perguntas, pequenas respostas - Quando os países se zangam".

Uma obra sobre diferenças e a importância do diálogo para as resolver. Através de uma situação simples do quotidiano, uma discussão no recreio da escola que acaba por dividir as crianças, o livro cria um paralelismo com aquilo que acontece entre países quando surgem desentendimentos.

A ideia central é mostrar às crianças que, quando escolhemos lados, deixamos de ouvir o outro ou transformamos uma pequena diferença numa disputa, o conflito pode crescer. Mas também mostra que há outra possibilidade: parar, conversar, ouvir e procurar entender o outro.

Um livro sobre paz, empatia, diálogo e cooperação, apresentado de uma forma acessível aos mais jovens!

📚 Esperamos por si. Boas leituras!

📖 "Six Memos For The Next Millennium" | Italo Calvino | Penguin Books

🇬🇧 "Words connect the visible track to the invisible thing... like a fragile makeshift bridge cast across the void."

"With imagination and wit, Italo Calvino sought to define the virtues of the great literature of the past in order to shape the values of the future.

His effervescent last works, left unfinished at his death, were the Charles Eliot Norton lectures, which he was due to deliver at Harvard in 1985-86. These surviving drafts explore the literary concepts closest to his heart: Lightness, Quickness, Multiplicity, Exactitude and Visibility (Constancy was to be the sixth), in serious yet playful essays that reveal his debt to the comic strip and the folktale.

This collection, now in a fluent and supple new translation, is a brilliant example of a great writer whose legacy will endure through the millennium he addressed."

📖 "Land" | Maggie O'Farrell | Headline Publishing Group

🇬🇧 Inspired by the mapping of Ireland in the mid nineteenth century, Land, the new novel from the author of Hamnet, is at once intimate and epic: a portrait of a family navigating a legacy of upheaval and loss with love and hope.

On a windswept peninsula stretching out into the Atlantic, Tomás and his reluctant son, Liam, are working for the great Ordnance Survey project to map the whole of Ireland.

The year is 1865, and in a country not long since ravaged and emptied by the Great Hunger, the task is not an easy one. Tomás, however, is determined that his maps will be a record of the disaster.

The British soldiers in charge are due to arrive any day, expecting the work to be completed, but Tomás is unexpectedly sent off course by an unsettling encounter in a copse. His life, and those of his family, will never be the same again. Liam is terrified by the sudden change in his taciturn father. What was it that caused such cracks to open in Tomás and how is Liam, aged only ten, going to finish the mapping, and get them both home?

Land is a novel about separation and reunion, tragedy and recovery, colonisation and rebellion. It is a story of buried treasure, overlapping lives, ancient woodland, persistent ghosts, a particularly loyal dog, and how, when it comes to both land and history, nothing ever goes away.

As spellbinding and various as the landscape that inspired it, Land is, above all, a story of survival, for our times, and for all time.

📖 “Errático" | Rosa Oliveira | Tinta da China

"Vestiário as mais novas olham as mais velhas corpos cansados torcidos as roupas ásperas ladram eis o que serei eis o horror as mais velhas olham as mais novas carnes frescas firmes um bolo orgulhoso acabado de sair da forma quase crianças sem tempo nos seus movimentos sólidos as mais velhas pensam eis o pesadelo do vivido ninguém ali tem olhos."

📖 “A Mulher Não é Inferior ao Homem" | Sophia, Uma Pessoa de Qualidade | Ideias de Ler

"Escrito em 1739, A mulher não é inferior ao homem é um trabalho marcante na história da discussão sobre a igualdade entre os géneros.

Considerada como uma das primeiras obras protofeministas, é um manifesto que apela à mudança, instando os leitores a questionarem e a confrontarem as estruturas que perpetuavam a desigualdade.

Passados mais de 200 anos, a discussão ainda prevalece e, por isso, é essencial não esquecer as muitas mulheres que lutaram – e continuam a lutar – por uma sociedade efetivamente mais justa e igualitária."

📖 "Human Rights: The Case for the Defence" | Shami Chakrabarti | Penguin Books

🇬🇧 "Our human rights are endangered. After the devastation of World War Two the international community united to enshrine fundamental rights to refuge, health, education and living standards. They protected privacy, fair trials and free speech and outlawed torture, slavery and discrimination. Their goal was greater global justice, equality and peace. That settlement is now under attack from opponents on both left and right and populist and authoritarian movements worldwide. Simultaneously, we are threatened by war, inequality, new tech and climate catastrophe, crises human rights can help us address.

In this urgent, powerful book, Shami Chakrabarti, demonstrates why human rights matter and why we need to secure further rights to deal with challenges of the present and future. Outlining the historic national and international struggles for human rights, from ancient Babylon to the present day, Chakrabarti is an indispensable guide to the law and logic underpinning human dignity and universal freedoms. This book equips supporters in the battle of ideas and will encourage doubters to think again.

To believe in human rights is to believe in human beings. If they - and we - are to survive, these rights must be owned and understood by everyone."

📖 “A Beleza de Viver Duas Vezes" | Sharon Stone | Guerra e Paz

"Uma hemorragia cerebral fez com que Sharon Stone, uma das actrizes mais famosas do mundo, visse a saúde, a carreira, a família, a fortuna e a fama desabarem como um castelo de cartas. Agora conta na primeira pessoa o lento caminho de recuperação e como reconstruiu a vida. Num meio que não aceita o fracasso, Stone encontrou forças para voltar, coragem para falar e vontade de fazer a diferença na vida de homens, mulheres e crianças em todo o mundo.

Num tom pessoal e intimista, faz revelações chocantes sobre os bastidores de Instinto Fatal e outros papéis, fala das maiores decepções e das grandes concretizações. Conta como passou de uma infância traumática e violenta para uma carreira numa indústria onde acabou por encontrar o mesmo tipo de problemas, mas disfarçados pelo dinheiro e o glamour. Descreve também a força e o propósito que encontrou nos filhos e nas causas humanitárias a que se dedica e como se reconciliou com a família."

📖 "Before We Say Goodbye" | Toshikazu Kawaguchi | Pan MacMillan

🇬🇧 "Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s poignant Before we say goodbye, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?

The regulars at the magical Cafe Funiculi Funicula are well acquainted with its famous legend and extraordinary, secret menu time travel offering. Many patrons have reunited with old flames, made amends with estranged family, and visited loved ones. But the journey is not without risks and there are rules to follow. Travellers must have visited the cafe previously and most importantly, must return to the present in the time it takes for their coffee to go cold.

In the tradition of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, readers will once again be introduced to a new set of visitors:

The husband with something important left to say; the woman who couldn’t bid her dog farewell; the woman who couldn’t answer a proposal; the daughter who drove her father away...

In the hauntingly beautiful Before we say goodbye, Kawaguchi invites us to join his characters as they embark on a journey to revisit one crucial moment in time."
