After the End: The Rebirth
After the end of the world, the planet was born again, starting from small microorganisms until the creation of complex creatures, like men and dinosaurs. In their new organic structure, human beings have become dependent on the flesh for food, and they search for it in beasts, as they call what we now call dinosaurs. Rangel Connor is a military man on his first hunt in the wilderness territory. However, the onslaught in search of precious meat is thwarted by a violent attack of the animals. Rangel stays behind, but against all expectations, is not devoured by the monsters, but taken care by one of them. Alongside the dinosaurs, Rangel will discover the true value of a friendship and how vicious and vile the human mind can be in its delusions of grandeur. A story about men, dinosaurs and the true nature of homo sapiens.
Brazilian Science Fiction Film
This book offers a pioneering critical history of Brazilian science fiction (SF) cinema, from its first appearances in the mid-twentieth century to the present. Though frequently overlooked by scholars, SF cinema from the Global South has reinvigorated the genre in recent decades. In this comprehensive study—the first of its kind in either English or Portuguese—Alfredo Suppia draws out the unique features and universal resonance of SF film in Brazil, a country that has fittingly been called "the land of the future." In Suppia's analysis, Brazilian SF stems from and responds to a long history of inequality in which everyday reality has often resembled a movie-like dystopia. Analyzing both short and feature films in the context of social, political, and economic transformations, Suppia rethinks SF film in general from a southern perspective.
The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms
The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms delivers a new, inclusive examination of science fiction, from close analyses of single texts to large-scale movements, providing readers with decolonized models of the future, including print, media, race, gender, and social justice. This comprehensive overview of the field explores representations of possible futures arising from non-Western cultures and ethnic histories that disrupt the “imperial gaze”. In four parts, The Routledge Handbook of CoFuturisms considers the look of futures from the margins, foregrounding the issues of Indigenous groups, racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual minorities, and any people whose stakes in the global order of envisioning futures are generally constrained due to the mechanics of our contemporary world. The book extends current discussions in the area, looking at cutting-edge developments in the discipline of science fiction and diverse futurisms as a whole. Offering a dynamic mix of approaches and expansive perspectives, this volume will appeal to academics and researchers seeking to orient their own interventions into broader contexts.

Não Existem Humanos Inteligentes
Em 1871 Charles Darwin propôs que os humanos evoluíram de primatas africanos ancestrais. Tempos depois, a ciência não apenas confirmou essa proposição como estabeleceu o quanto de DNA compartilhamos com outros grandes símios contemporâneos: orangotangos: 97%; gorilas: 98%; chimpanzés e bonobos: 99.6% . Quando, em 1961, Pierre Boulle começou a escrever Planeta dos Macacos, ele não tinha qualquer pretensão de englobar questões históricas e biológicas em sua obra, mesmo assim o fez. Ele também não previu que seu romance levantaria questões humanas atemporais que transcendem as esferas das ciência, ética, genética, religião, filosofia, psicologia, hierarquia, cultura e soci...

Peter Pan
Difícil imaginar quem não conheça as histórias de Peter Pan e suas muitas aventuras na Terra do Nunca. O personagem é um dos clássicos da Disney, esteve em outros tantos formatos, seja em desenho animado ou em filmes infantojuvenis. O protagonista, criado pelo escritor britânico J. M. Barrie, apareceu pela primeira vez em 1904, em uma peça teatral chamada Peter Pan, ou O menino que não queria crescer. Somente em 1911, o autor publicou o romance Peter e Wendy, conhecido por todos e com muitas publicações no Brasil. Em 1930, Monteiro Lobato adaptou a obra à sua maneira, criando uma versão do clássico em que a Dona Benta conta para os outros personagens do Sítio do Pica-pau Amarelo as histórias de Peter Pan e Wendy na Terra do Nunca. Essa obra pode ser considerada um novo livro, já que a história do Peter Pan está totalmente inserida dentro de uma história a parte, com Emília, Pedrinho, Narizinho, Visconde de Sabugosa e Tia Nastácia. Seguindo a linha de clássicos publicados pela editora, decidimos trazer essa edição do Monteiro Lobato, e ainda adicionar a tradução inédita para o português da peça original, do autor J. M. Barrie.
Pirlimpimpim
Era uma vez um homem que contava histórias sobre um mundo encantado que só as crianças podiam ver. Em princípio, poucos conseguiam perceber as maravilhas desse universo, mas com a ajuda de duas crianças muito especiais, Pedrinho e Narizinho, todos começaram a perceber que a calmaria do Sítio do Picapau Amarelo era apenas um disfarce para o incrível mundo que abrigava as peraltices de Emília, a boneca de pano, a genialidade do Visconde de Sabugosa, as traquinagens do Saci e os perigos da bruxa Cuca. Tudo isso era acompanhado ainda de muitos outros personagens, como o Marquês de Rabicó, o Quindim, o Conselheiro, o Príncipe Escamado, o Doutor Caramujo e etc., que ilustram essas hist...
