Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Direito Administrativo e Administração Pública Digital
O Direito se acha condicionado por balizas de tempo e espaço. Isso quer dizer que as mudanças sociais, políticas e econômicas, ao se refletirem sobre determinado território, acabam, inelutavelmente, repercutindo sobre as suas instituições. Diante dos avanços tecnológicos, vem a Administração para realizar a prestação de serviços que lhe são impostos, servindo-se, na atualidade, dos mecanismos que lhe são postos pelos progressos da informática. O emprego das novas tecnologias como meio pelo qual a Administração desenvolve a sua atividade é inegavelmente capaz de contribuir para uma maior eficiência, trazendo, assim, benefícios. No entanto, é, igualmente, capaz de gerar ...
Paradigmas do Direito Administrativo Sancionador no Estado constitucional
Nas últimas décadas, assiste-se, com o reforço da regulação estatal sobre as atividades dos cidadãos, bem assim em virtude das preocupações relativas ao dever de transparência e ao combate à corrupção, a uma pulverização da competência sancionatória decorrente da violação de deveres impostos no âmbito dos vínculos entre o administrado e a Administração Pública, exercitada pelos órgãos administrativos e, excepcionalmente, pelo Judiciário. As sanções daí decorrentes passaram, na prática, a equivaler – ou, até mesmo, nalgumas hipóteses, a superar – as impostas pela jurisdição criminal. Por isso, faz-se preciso, nos quadrantes do Estado constitucional, fase pela qual perpassa atualmente o Estado de Direito, a observância, para a racionalidade da atuação estatal punitiva, da sua harmonização com os direitos e garantias fundamentais, inclusive de colorido processual. Isso é o que visa o presente livro a enfatizar e, apenas e principalmente por essa singularidade, torna-se merecedor de uma atenta e crítica leitura.
Lei de Improbidade Administrativa Reformada
Um ponto em relação ao qual não há dúvida é o da necessidade de combater o exercício ilícito da função administrativa. Os desvios oriundos de nossa formação patrimonialista nos impõem esse desafio. A nossa experiência na aplicação do direito administrativo, na qual mais se prestigiava o legalismo estrito do que a busca do interesse público concreto, bem assim a rigidez do texto legal, fez com que vivenciássemos uma elevada dose de abusos por ocasião da aplicação da Lei no 8.429/1992 (LIA), ocasionando um fenômeno conhecido como "vulgarização da improbidade" ou "banalização" das ações judiciais de improbidade. Logo, uma primeira indagação: é possível falar-se, ...

The Brothers
Introducing a major new voice in Brazilian letters. Set among a Lebanese immigrant community in the Brazilian port of Manaus, The Brothers is the story of identical twins, Yaqub and Omar, whose mutual jealousy is offset only by their love for their mother. But it is Omar who is the object of Zana's Jocasta-like passion, while her husband, Halim, feels her slipping away from him, as their beautiful daughter, RGnia, makes a tragic claim on her brothers' affection. Vivid, exotic, and lushly atmospheric, The Brothers is the story of a family's disintegration, of a changing city and the culture clash between the native-born inhabitants and a new immigrant group, and of the future the next generation will make from the ruins.
Once There Was a City Named Dilli
The history of Delhi has been told and retold many times. Often the intent is to use history as an ideological tool for staking a claim to the present of the city. In Intizar Husain’s retelling, it is the tale itself that becomes delectable. A popular recital that highlights the forgotten nuances of the story, Once There was a City Named Dilli, is a celebration of the people and culture that made the city unforgettable. Forts, walled cities, bazaars, diwan khanas, durbars, and the Yamuna itself come alive in this ode to a capital serenaded and ravaged by powerful kings and chieftains over time.
The Membranes

First published in Taiwan in 1995, The Membranes is a classic of queer speculati...
Labyrinth
Notable International Crime Novel of the Year – Crime Reads / Lit Hub From a prize-winning Turkish novelist, a heady, political tale of one man’s search for identity and meaning in Istanbul after the loss of his memory. A blues singer, Boratin, attempts suicide by jumping off the Bosphorus Bridge, but opens his eyes in the hospital. He has lost his memory, and can't recall why he wished to end his life. He remembers only things that are unrelated to himself, but confuses their timing. He knows that the Ottoman Empire fell, and that the last sultan died, but has no idea when. His mind falters when remembering civilizations, while life, like a labyrinth, leads him down different paths. From the confusion of his social and individual memory, he is faced with two questions. Does physical recognition provide a sense of identity? Which is more liberating for a man, or a society: knowing the past, or forgetting it? Embroidered with Borgesian micro-stories, Labyrinth flows smoothly on the surface while traversing sharp bends beneath the current.
