Antes que a memória
se apague

Before memory fades

Sandra Longo is a retired bank clerk who has children and grandchildren. As a motorcycle enthusiast, she has traveled much of Latin America on the back of her husband’s bike. In her book, the journeys are well-told, but what’s interesting is her life as an ‘ordinary person’ which is anything but ordinary. Officio published it (under the Massambu imprint).

Professors Alceu Ranzi, from the Federal University of Acre and and Martti Pärssinen, from the University of Helsinki, prepared this illustrated catalog about geoglyphs, huge earth structures, spread across the Amazon. The authors suggest that such monuments were built by an ancient civilization that inhabited the North of Brazil.

Acre visto e revisto

Acre seen and reviewed

Acre and its short – but intense – history, its very rich prehistory yet to be unveiled and a population of migrants who turned the State into a cultural melting pot, is fascinating. All these aspects, with special attention to environmental issues, prehistory and history, are addressed by paleontologist Alceu Ranzi and botanist Evandro Ferreira, in this book that tries to explain that northern frontier.

Histórias do fim da ilha

The end of island stories

Eduardo Luiz de Faria heard impressive things in the extreme south of the island of Santa Catarina, a region that until the end of the 1960s, remained isolated from the rest of the municipality of Florianópolis. It is these almost true stories that are gathered, tales of the settlers from the interior of the Island of Santa Catarina, things that no one imagines that happened and that, certainly, will never occur again. Release scheduled for 2021.
