  3. Discursos Mudos
    Discursos Mudos
    Seus contos têm a engenhosidade de mesclar o cotidiano insosso com uma pitada do fantástico regozijante. Na forma escritor libertário e com um elegância estilística literária peculiar decidiu se apartar do sensos comuns e dos precursores renegando viver limitado a forma pré-estabelecidas. No conteúdo ‘Discursos mudos’ escarnece os implícitos filtros de destruição da natureza e humana tão prezados pela nossa sociedade com vistas a selecionar os ‘fortes’ (detentores de poder econômico) dos ‘fracos’ (não ou pouco detentores desse poder). A burocracia, do ‘Chá do decano’ o grito dos oprimidos, no ‘Discurso para a ONU’ a realidade nua e crua imposta pelos opressores em ‘A Entrevista’ o inconformismo com a morte em ‘A Viagem’, são ingredientes que fazem deste livro um dos melhores já impressos neste mundo de ‘faz de contas’ e sem sentido que o autor tenta como ele mesmo disse – em vão - combater.

  9. Compound Fractures
    Compound Fractures
    A Collection of Short Stories
    Philip Ashton

    His shoelaces are a dusty dirty-white; the threads in his jeans are as slim as his veins. His arms are stretched wide like some ungainly large bird; long brave wings against the terrifying blue. His heart is drumming out the sound of his soul, a siren song for sin and shame, the first seedy sound Jarvis ever heard the world make. Out of the corner of his eye and a little to the left, there's pollution pushing plumes out of chimneys, like grey, pleated brains. Born in 1987, my sister, Danielle, claims to have survived growing up in a small village by reading about large cities and towns. Four years of university followed by years of teaching, she never found out quite what she wanted to do when she grew up. She claimed not to enjoy reading so much as need it. As Scout says in To Kill a Mockingbird, "One does not love breathing".

  10. Reflections: Echoes & Whispers

    "In a serene compound where life seems ordinary, secrets lurk in shadows. Aba Mansa longs for peace, Auntie Araba’s laughter hides uncertainties, and Antobam’s charm conceals a raging storm of chaos. When confusion collides and unpredictable confrontations arise, people are forced to contend with themselves—and each other—in ways they never imagined. Through humor, drama, and revelation, Reflections: Echoes & Whispers invites you to find the remarkable in life’s quietest moments."

  11. The Old Age of The Eternal Priest
    The Old Age of The Eternal Priest
    translation of Guerra Junqueiro’s satirical poem A Velhice do Padre Eterno
    Alice Enamour

    Guerra Junqueiro played an extremely important role in Portugal’s cultural scene. He was labelled the “Portuguese Victor Hugo” (*) due to his importance and was considered by many to be the greatest Portuguese social poet of the 19th century. (excerpts of some poems) “In such a way, the pope imitated the simplicityOf the martyr of Calvary,That, for so much spending his assets on poverty,He became a millionaire.”… (SAINT PETER’S MONEY) “Because down here, the big guysNever lacked for anything either;They had beliefs and millions…God likes honorable people like that.”… (THE MASS GRAVE) “This God, Masella, is a plebeian and humble God,Whose signature does not give, at the Rotschild bankers,Any credit; a barefoot and proletarian God,”… (TO THE NUNCIO MASELLA) Some texts are astonishingly relevant today, which only proves that, at the level of intentions and socio-economic practices, in one hundred and forty years human society has not changed at all.
