Manaus Ágil tourism and culture of the AmazonThe work, published by Clube de Autores, talks about pan-Amazonian diplomacy in view of what the rainforest represents in the world
The book "The Institutionalization of the Pan-Amazon"by the author Paulo Henrique Faria Nuneswas awarded at the University of Algarve, in Portugal, on Wednesday (11). The work, which deals with the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (OTCA), is one of more than 70 thousand books published in Clube de Autores, the largest self-publishing platform in Latin America.
In the book, the author, who holds a PhD in political and social sciences and is a researcher at PUC Goiás, analyzes the main factors that favor and hinder the development of a pan-Amazonian diplomacy in view of the fact that the rainforest represents, simultaneously, an asset and a cause for concern.
In Europe, the work receives the Manuel Guerreiro Award, granted by the University of Algarve, in Portugal. Paulo Águas, Rector of the University, was the one who informed the author about the award. "For the choice of the work as the winner of the award in 2019, the following were taken into consideration: quality, originality and the impact of the work in the world," he said.
Without frontiers
Paulo's work is an example of how books published by the Authors Club can reach anywhere. By publishing a book on the platform, the writer gains a potential market of nearly 55 million readers around the world.
Ricardo Almeida, CEO of Clube de Autores, celebrates the nomination. "Clube de Autores is the long tail of the Brazilian publishing market. In the last year, we published about 23% of the total number of Brazilian books and we know that soon great bestsellers will come out of our platform," he explains.
And he comments that this is only possible because Clube de Autores has printing partners inside and outside Brazil, which makes it possible to sell physical books internationally. "Since February of this year, we have delivered books to almost every country in the world. The 'almost' is on account of countries like Syria and Venezuela, because logistical structures in economically collapsed countries or countries in civil war are almost non-existent," he says.
The United States, Canada, Portugal, the UK, France, Australia and many other countries are already able to receive books from the Authors' Club. An initiative that brings benefits to authors, readers, and the publishing market.
The CEO concludes by commenting that it is a source of pride to have an author of the platform being nominated for an international award. "For us, Paulo's nomination is a source of pride, because, besides being Brazilian, it is a work that is published with us and guaranteed its award in an extremely important university in the world," he concludes.
