Comparative Perspectives on the Rise of the Brazilian Novel
Edited by Ana Cláudia Suriani da Silva and Sandra Guardini Vasconcelos
Presents a framework of comparative literature based on a systemic and empirical approach to the study of the novel and applies that framework to the analysis of key nineteenth-century Brazilian novels. The works under examination were published during the period in which the forms and procedures of the novel were acclimatized as the genre established and consolidated itself in Brazil.

Subjective Lives and Economic Transformations in Mongolia
Life in the Gap
Rebecca M. Empson
Almost 10 years ago the mineral-rich country of Mongolia experienced very rapid economic growth, fuelled by China’s need for coal and copper. This period of growth is, however, now over. Mongolia is instead facing high levels of public and private debt, conflicts over land and sovereignty, and a changed political climate that threatens its fragile democratic institutions. Subjective Lives and Economic Transformations in Mongolia details this complex story through the intimate lives of five women.

The Modernist Bestiary
Translating Animals and the Arts through Guillaume Apollinaire, Raoul Dufy and Graham Sutherland
Edited by Sarah Kay and Timothy Mathews
Centres on Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d’Orphée (1911), a multimedia collaborative work by French-Polish poet Guillaume Apollinaire and French artist Raoul Dufy, and its homonym, The Bestiary or Procession of Orpheus (1979), by British artist Graham Sutherland. Rather than reconstructing the lineage of these two compositions, the book uncovers the aesthetic and intellectual processes involved that operate in different times, places and media.
