I'm in possesion of two of those kind of books. The first is from O'Relilly & Associates, Inc, named "Oracle Performance Tuning", ISBN 1-56592-048-1 (written in English). The second is from Oracle Press, named "Advanced Oracle Tuning and Administration", ISBN 0-07-882241-6 (also in English).

I prefer the latter, because it's more complete, has more background information and is from Oracle Press itself, so I expect that they REALLY know where they're talking about.

Good luck!
