The Biography includes a Preface by Cuban Commander Fidel Castro Frei Bettos roles as a revolutionary Christian, popular educator, social movement articulator, and journalist/writer provide insight into the political and religious history not only of Brazil, but of Cuba and former socialist countries of Eastern Europe. His lifepath is one of engagement with the revolutionary struggle against the Brazilian military dictatorship in favor of social transformation. His arrest in 1969 for coordinating the safe departure of political militants from Brazil, and his concern to eliminate hunger and suffering from the poorer classes, were strong credentials as he promoted dialogue between political bodies, the religious establishment and the population at large. Strongly influenced by the propositions of Liberation Theology, a defining thread of its activities was to seek an understanding, an accommodation, between Christianity and socialism. Friar Betto maintained close relations with former Brazilian President Lula da Silva and Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolutionary government, and wrote about how the internal dynamics of the Cuban religious universe could be applied to other countries and to different political circumstances. His writings on socialist countries, especially Paradise Lost, are aimed at promoting understanding on several levels: between the Church and the communists; between the military and politicians; between religious leaders and the people. Frei Bettos biography is an invitation to understand five decades of a personal pursuit of revolutionary ideals through the prism of religious tolerance and the pursuit of socialism. The Portuguese edition was a finalist in the biography section of Jabuti the prestigious national literary prize granted by the Brazilian Book Chamber (CBL).

Brad succumbs to the white plague, Oscar too spends his days fighting disease, confined to a hospital. Playing the organ at night for a mysterious sickly girl, he discovers his own talent, although years after recovery, he finds himself desperate, poor, and depressed—until the devil, otherwise known to the world as impresario Norman G, happens on him in a moment of crisis.Inspired by the life of legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, Mauricio Segura's Oscar evokes periods across time, from the Depression-era Montreal neighbourhood of Little Burgundy to the swinging cabarets of the 1950s, while offering a reflection on the bonds between an artist and the Caribbean diaspora from which he comes. But above all, Oscar is a poignant homage to a musical giant, a man who changed the face of jazz forever.
The first major biography of Oscar Wilde in thirty years is the most complete telling of his life and times to date.
Oscar Davenport always wins. Always. He doesn't come second, and he sure as hell doesn't lose. He's founded and sold three tech companies, netting him almost a billion dollars. He ran a hedge fund worth hundreds of billions-until he got bored. His latest project, Six, a nightclub in LA is another winner. It's both a successful business and a playground full of playmates.He's never met an obstacle he couldn't overcome or a woman he couldn't have. Until now.Grace Evans is the kind of girl you'd find curled up with a good book on a Saturday night-at least, usually. This Saturday night is different. This Saturday night she's gotten all done up, in a dress she can barely breathe in and heels she can barely walk in. She had to. She had to venture into the lair of the enemy.The enemy is Oscar Davenport, and his lair is his swanky nightclub. When she lays eyes on him, she's ready to believe he's the devil incarnate. His wicked smile, his beautiful eyes-everything about him is an invitation to sin. He moves with the grace and arrogance of a big cat about to pounce. Unfortunately, he's moving straight toward her. He's singled her out as his prey. He's moving in for the kill.Little does he know that she isn't about to surrender; in fact, he's in for the fight of his life.
