A Landmark Moment in Literary History
For over a century, the haunting verses of Eu by Augusto dos Anjos remained locked in the cadence of Portuguese, echoing through Brazil’s literary corridors but never crossing the linguistic threshold into English. Scholars revered it, poets whispered its name, and readers marveled at its raw existential depth—a work that defied easy categorization, oscillating between Symbolism, Parnassian rigor, and a proto-modernist sensibility.
Now, for the first time in English translation, this monumental work steps onto the global stage. I—Eu and Other Poems, presented in a critical edition, does more than translate words; it transposes an entire intellectual and emotional universe. Every line, every metaphor, every philosophical tremor has been meticulously rendered by translator Maurício Burigo, ensuring that the essence of Augusto dos Anjos’s voice resonates with the same intensity that shook early 20th-century Brazil.
This edition is not merely a translation—it is a scholarly bridge. With annotations, contextual essays, and a faithful reproduction of the original structure, readers are invited to explore the interplay of science, decay, and metaphysics that defines dos Anjos’s poetry. It is a dialogue across time and language, a resurrection of a poet whose work feels startlingly contemporary in its confrontation with mortality and meaning.
Available now at Barnes & Noble, Indigo, Amazon, and everywhere books are sold, this release marks a turning point for world literature enthusiasts. For those who seek poetry that challenges, provokes, and lingers long after the page is turned, I—Eu and Other Poems is not just a book—it is an event.

What makes Victorian literature feel so alive today?
It’s the boldness. The questions that still matter. The voices that refuse to fade.
George Eliot’s Impressions of Theophrastus Such—now in its most modern, annotated edition—offers sharp reflections on identity and society that feel startlingly current. My Own Land’s Sins gathers more poets and more women than any other Victorian anthology, giving space to voices history tried to silence.
Then there’s The Trail of the Serpent, the first English detective novel, and Dickens’s American Notes, a fearless critique of 19th-century America. And for those who dare to look deeper, Dracula: The Postcolonial Edition—the only one of its kind—reveals the hidden politics behind the world’s most famous vampire.
These aren’t just books. They’re conversations across centuries—about justice, identity, and power.
📚 Student-priced. Classroom-ready. Instructor copies available.

What happens when a classroom becomes a space for bold conversations?
Picture this: a student raises a hand during your Gothic literature class and asks, “Why do monsters always look like outsiders?” Suddenly, the discussion shifts—from vampires and castles to race, identity, and power.
That’s the magic of the Universitas Press Cultural Studies Collection. These books don’t just teach—they challenge. They open doors to conversations about racism in literature and film, Gothic as both exclusion and resistance, and even the cultural weight of the Second Amendment.
📚 Titles like Gothic and Racism, The Tale of the Living Vampire, and Monsters & Monstrosity give students the tools to question, analyze, and think critically about ideology, culture, and representation.
Because education isn’t about memorizing—it’s about understanding the world and daring to ask why.

✨ Inclusive voices that broaden perspectives
