Brazil as capas da Copa
Soccer serves as one of the most beautiful images of Brazil overseas. When Brazil won the Soccer World Cup in Yokohama, Japan, the country was applauded by the whole world. The proof of this recognition is recorded in the book “Capas da Copa” (Cover Pages of the Cup), by the authors Orlando Duarte and Fábio Amaro. The book was released by Cosac Naify, a publisher from São Paulo.
“Capas da Copa” brings together 85 cover pages of newspapers published on the Monday when the world bowed to Brazil: July 1st, 2002, the day after the victory. The book presents cover pages of newspapers from Germany, Australia, the United States, France, Denmark, Marocco, Algeria, Argentina, Japan, Canada, Italy, and many others. Also included are tens of Brazilian cover pages and magazines from all regions of the country.
What does it mean for a country to appear on the cover page of all newspapers and magazines of the world? The first page is the eye-catcher of a newspaper. It is where the best pictures are placed and the summaries of the main news appear; a true route for the reader to find the important news of the edition.
We like to see Brazil in the news headlines around the world. When the world specially applauds and bows to our country. This book was made to be seen and kept, not just by soccer lovers, but for everyone who loves Brazil. “Capas da Copa” is a historical recording of a rare moment for the Brazilian people.
ORLANDO DUARTE was born in 1932 and holds degrees in Journalism and Law. He has covered thirteen World Cup soccer championships and nine editions of the Olympic Games for newspapers, radio and television. He has published many works about sports and about soccer in particular: Todas as Copas do Mundo (Makron. 1987); Pelé, o Supercampeão (Makron, 1994); Todos os Esportes do Mundo (Makron, 1996). He currently produces DVDs, having recently release the series “Os craques”.
FÁBIO AMARO was born in 1977, in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. He is currently a New York-based foreign correspondent for the Brazilian newspaper Hoje em Dia. He is also the author of three other books, printed by the publishing house RHJ: Uma História de Arrepiar (1992); Austrália, uma história para contar (2000); and O Mundo Hoje (2002).

" Un amalgama multicolor de textos, títulos, autores y temas se aprecia en la lista de participantes de la Feria de este año"
Nueva York — Una feria del libro —al menos en el papel o para quienes no las frecuentan— puede sonar como un evento de lo más sobrio y aburrido, con largos debates sobre asuntos académicos, precisiones gramaticales o la vigencia de los versos alejandrinos.
¡Nada más lejos de la verdad! Porque una buena feria del libro, en el mejor sentido de la palabra, suele ser una fiesta de la imaginación, un encuentro de ideas y amistades y una fuente de sorpresas.
Tal es el caso de la la primera Feria Exposición del Libro de NY que se lleva a cabo el día 23 de junio de 5 a 9 pm y el 24 de 12 a 6 pm en el auditorio de la iglesia San Demetrios de Astoria.
Un amalgama multicolor de textos, títulos, autores y temas se aprecia en la lista de participantes de la Feria, con autores tan polémicos como el doctor L. Trevor Grant, ex adminitrador de la Agencia de Servicios de Protección de niños, autor de la obra Breaking up Families y The politicization of Foster Care in New York City o David Margules, uno de los fotógrafos que presenció y cubrió más intensamente la reconstrucción de la Zona Cero.
Por su parte la doctora Iris Yankelevich comparte con los padres cómo criar a los hijos y los ayuda a entender el sistema de educacion de la ciudad de Nueva York.
Paralelo a los títulos de índole social, informativo o de autoayuda existe otra corriente, la novela de ficción, como la presentada por el escritor colombiano Jaime Manrique con su nuevo libro Our Lives Are the Rivers, basada en la historia de la amante de Bolívar, Manuelita Sanz, y por los autores ecuatorianos Petronio Rafael Cevallos y Freddy Rincón. El comisionado de la cultura dominicana presenta a José Acosta, Rubén Sánchez Feliz y Osiris Vallejo.
Por Puerto Rico se destaca la participacion de la poeta, profesora y animadora cultural Myrna Nieves, de Juan A. Moreno Velazquez con un polémico libro sobre Celia Cruz y de David Cortés Cabán. Sus obras más recientes serán presentadas y leidas en el evento.
La peruana Vicky Peláez presentará y firmará su libro Desde mis entrañas la noche del viernes 23 de junio.
EL idioma portugués está presente con Orlando Duarte, Fabio Amaro con Todas as Capas da Copa, la mas bella preoduccion grafica de la seleccion de Brasil, y con Karen Keller, autora del manual Portuguese for Dummies.
Atria Book, la división en español de Simon and Schuster trae la nueva obra del activista colombiano Orlando Tobon, Crónicas de Jackson Heights, como un abrebocas al lanzamiento en grande de la obra.
Además de los autores locales, también estarán a la venta clásicos de la literatura iberoamericana, ya que Lectorum, una de las librerías más antiguas en español en Nueva York, estara presente durante la feria.
En St Demetrios Greek American School, 30-03 30th Drive, Astoria, Queens. Trenes N o W a la avenida 30 de Astoria. Más informes en www.newyorkbookfairexpo.com.
