Her new book Permanence follows Clara and Francis – a couple in love, but in secret. When they wake in a strange city, they can finally be together. But as they move between this world and their ordinary lives, cracks begin to show, and they are forced to ask - how long can their love survive?

Um sete um.

171 anos da Assembleia Legislativa do Paraná e nunca ninguém foi cassado, o corporativismo imperou mesmo diante de crimes de assassinato e roubo do dinheiro público, passando por cargos fantasmas, rachadinha e licitações fraudulentas.

O que realmente rompeu com a aliança corporativista foi eu ter defendido minha família de um ataque na rua.

Sabemos a verdade, o rei está nu, o que realmente eles não suportam é que alguém como eu, negro, pobre, sem pai e sem herança, afronte seus interesses na sala de estar da Casa Grande, isso é inadmissível, e por isso tentam me cassar, para mandar um recado às novas gerações, um “cala-boca”.

Mas nossa voz já ganhou a força do vento e se espalhou pelos quatro cantos do país. Os poderosos podem matar duas ou três flores, mas jamais conseguirão impedir a chegada da primavera!

Bodleian's Printer in Residence James Freemantle #short #printing

Inspired by John J. Audubon’s Birds of America, one of the most famous and most valuable books, James Freemantle, the Bodleian Printer in Residence 2025–26, is working on a project, creating a birdwatcher’s notebook referencing some of the better known pages from the Audubon. The book will record so-called ‘vagrant birds,’ those sighted outside their normal range. To see the original Birds of America, visit our free exhibition Wonder of Birds in the Weston Library.
