JULIANA LEITE MAKES HER ENGLISH-LANGUAGE DEBUT WITH A NOVEL ABOUT ONE WOMAN'S PAST AND ALL OF OUR FUTURES Ever since the unnamed threat took over, 100-year-old Natália has been stuck inside her Rio de Janeiro apartment, alone.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. At nearly 100 years old, Natalia has lived a full life. A life defined by people: Vicente, her husband and fellow teacher; her best friend Sarah, the cookie seller; Jorge who offered tarot readings for humans and birds alike; and her friends who gathered each Sunday to eat bean stew and plot ways to resist Brazil's dictatorship any way they could. But slowly, one after another, the people that made up this old woman's life have disappeared, leaving her alone. Well, not entirely alone-she's pretty sure a spy is tracing her every move, and her loved ones haven't left her, not really. Now, with an unnamed external threat taking over the world, Natalia watches the days pass from inside her Rio de Janeiro apartment, awaiting the daily call from her adult daughter living somewhere faraway 'on the upper ocean.' In Juliana Leite's English-language debut, acutely translated by Zoe Perry, nothing is ever what it seems: neighbours are informants; ginger cookies exact revenge; and in a friend's dark basement, Vicente has visions of an early human ancestor being devoured by a lion. Walking the tenuous line between fact and fable, humour and horror, EXEMPLARY HUMANS is an ambitious novel about memory and the human condition-past, present, and future.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Brazilian artist Juliana Cerqueira Leite's artist book following her solo exhibition at the National Archaeological Museum, Naples in 2019.Orogenesi is the culmination of two years of Cerqueira Leite's research on Pompeii and the calchi, the plaster cast bodies excavated in this world-famous archeological site. The artist connects these to both Martha Grahams modern choreography and to NASA's space exploration. The show premiers new sculptures which are displayed in the National Archaeological Museums iconic Villa dei Papiri rooms. Investigating both ancient and recent pasts through disparate narratives, Cerqueira Leite stitches together a timeline of her own making. At the centre of the exhibition is her own body pushed to its physical limits, acting as a metaphor for psychological and politicised states of being.The publication includes an Introduction by Mario Codognato and an essay by Dehlia Hannah & Nadim Samman.
