Book Description
A young astronomer in colonial Australia faces tragedy on the ground in this follow-up to the award-winning The Secret River—“A triumph. Read it at once” (The Sunday Times, UK). A stunning follow-up to her Commonwealth Writers’ Prize-winning book, The Secret River, Grenville’s The Lieutenant is a gripping story of friendship, self-discovery, and the power of language set along the unspoiled shores of 1788 New South Wales, Australia. As a boy, Daniel Rooke was an outsider. Ridiculed in school for his intellect and misunderstood by his parents, he finds a path for himself in the British Navy—and in his love for astronomy. As a young lieutenant, Daniel joins a voyage to Australia. And while his countrymen struggle to control their cargo of convicts and communicate with nearby Aboriginal tribes, Daniel constructs an observatory to chart the stars and begin the work he prays will make him famous. Out on his isolated point, Daniel becomes involved with the local Aborigines, forging an intimate connection with one girl that will change the course of his life. But when his compatriots come into conflict with the indigenous population, Daniel must turn away from the stars and declare his loyalties on the ground.

Book Description
Romance with an intoxicating text full of action, emotion, adventure and an x-ray about political life and bohemia in the 80s. Sometimes we find beauty in complex things. We want explanations, we seek to organize the world, we seek harmony, we yearn for the ideal world. No, this is definitely not the world of writer João Calazans Filho. And “The Salamander” is the reflection of this raw, real, possible and absolutely playful universe of a writer who captures the depths through the surface, in a telluric, sweet, ironic look... And, at times, sarcastic. Salamandra is the writer's personal invitation to this world, located right there, in the south of Bahia. Intrigues, bohemia, betrayals, murders, dark plans and power games. Salamander is a universal romance, filled with passions, unlikely loves and a lot of backbiting. A cheer to popular culture, to the language of the people, from the simplest to the most exquisite, from the religious to the profane, from the mythical to the real world, from the logical to the fantastic realism. Simply passionate. The Romance brings as a backdrop a series of murders involving political, corrupt and corrupting criminals. The saga of an oppressed and enslaved people. Salamander brings various types of slavery: physical, psychological, financial, showing the fragility of man in the face of abuse of force, power and authority usurped by scoundrels, murderers, criminals. Far beyond, it is a mirror of who we are or who we should be. Truth and justice, sex and love, passion and despair, the lust for power and the desire for easy money. Mix all this in a universal soup and we have the atmosphere of a unique writer, who brings the “naked and raw” truth seasoned with the art of a people that needs to “turn around” to survive, without ever losing its essence, its morals, its form. to say: Let's fight for freedom until the end. Salamander is an invitation to the interior of the human being.
