You can find an alternative cover for this ISBN here.Esta é a história de Crisóstomo que, chegando aos quarenta anos, lida com a tristeza de não ter tido um filho. Do sonho de encontrar uma criança que o prolongue e de outros inesperados encontros, nasce uma família inventada, mas tão pura e fundamental como qualquer outra.As histórias do Crisóstomo e do Camilo, da Isaura do Antonino e da Matilde mostram que para se ser feliz é preciso aceitar ser o que se pode, nunca deixando contudo de acreditar que é possível estar e ser sempre melhor. As suas vidas ilustram igualmente que o amor, sendo uma pacificação com a nossa natureza, tem o poder de a transformar.Tocando em temas tão basilares à vida humana como o amor, a paternidade e a família, O filho de mil homens exibe, como sempre, a apurada sensibilidade e o esplendor criativo de Valter Hugo Mãe.

Jose de Alencar's prose-poem Iracema, first published in 1865, is a classic of Brazilian literature--perhaps the most widely-known piece of fiction within Brazil, and the most widely-read of Alencar;s many works. Set in the sixteenth century, it is an extremely romantic portrayal of a doomed live between a Portuguese soldier and an Indian maiden. Iracema reflects the gingerly way that mid-nineteenth century Brazil dealt with race mixture and multicultural experience. Precisely because of its nineteenth-century romanticism, Iracema strongly contributed to a Brazilian sense of nationhood--contemporary Brazilian writers and literary critics still cite it as a foundation for their own work.

Perhaps Brazil’s most influential and beloved composer and musician, Chico Buarque is also a highly praised poet, playwright, and novelist. In Budapest, Buarque introduces the story of a ghostwriter who immerses himself in the Hungarian language. José Costa lives in Rio de Janeiro. Fated to remain in the shadows of his illustrious clients, Costa breaks free of this fate and spontaneously buys a ticket to Budapest. In the city by the Danube, he falls in love with a strangely enchanting woman named Kriska, who offers to teach him the Magyar language in the most intimate of ways. First, however, he must observe the old proverb “There is no life outside Hungary” and abandon his thoughts of samba, sunbathers on Ipanema, Sugarloaf Mountain, and his wife in Rio, to turn himself over to a strange, hallucinogenic world of pumpkin rolls, late-night discos in old Buda, endless bottles of Trojak wine, and, of course, Kriska, the willful seductress and disciplinarian who is as hard to fathom and tame as the language she speaks. But what will become of José, now Zsoze, when his time in Budapest comes to an end and life as he knows it is turned upside down?

Um livro comovente que traz a herança dos clássicos. Bibiana e Belonísia são filhas de trabalhadores de uma fazenda no Sertão da Bahia, descendentes de escravos para quem a abolição nunca passou de uma data marcada no calendário. Intrigadas com uma mala misteriosa sob a cama da avó, pagam o atrevimento de lhe pôr a mão com um acidente que mudará para sempre as suas vidas, tornando-as tão dependentes que uma será até a voz da outra. Porém, com o avançar dos anos, a proximidade vai desfazer-se com a perspectiva que cada uma tem sobre o que as rodeia: enquanto Belonísia parece satisfeita com o trabalho na fazenda e os encantos do pai, Zeca Chapéu Grande, entre velas, incensos e ladainhas, Bibiana percebe desde cedo a injustiça da servidão que há três décadas é imposta à família e decide lutar pelo direito à terra e a emancipação dos trabalhadores. Para isso, porém, é obrigada a partir, separando-se da irmã.Numa trama tecida de segredos antigos que têm quase sempre mulheres por protagonistas, e à sombra de desigualdades que se estendem até hoje no Brasil, Torto Arado é um romance polifónico belo e comovente que conta uma história de vida e morte, combate e redenção, de personagens que atravessaram o tempo sem nunca conseguirem sair do anonimato.

Coletânea de poemas - 'O rio' (1953), 'Morte e Vida Severina' (1954-55), 'Paisagens com Figuras' (1955) e 'Uma Faca sem Lâmina' (1955) - de João Cabral de Melo Neto publicados na década de 1950. Para Cabral, esta década foi crucial para a consolidação da linguagem que viria a refinar nos anos seguintes. No poema 'O Rio', Cabral trata do rio Capibaribe e de seu povo, só que, desta vez, sob uma ótica mais documental e narrativa. Já 'Morte e vida severina', publicado pela primeira vez em 1956, retrata a fuga da seca de retirantes que seguem o curso do rio Capibaribe. Em 'Paisagens com Figuras' (1955), o poeta mescla, descrições das paisagens de Pernambuco e da Espanha. Por fim, em 'Uma Faca sem Lâmina' (1955), Cabral remete a um tema que lhe é caro - a composição poética.

The newspaper articles framing Jorge Amado’s Captains of the Sands provide a touch of realism while introducing the underlying conditions and hardships facing a group of orphans in Bahia. I liked this introduction and the first number of chapters that chronicled the exploits and streets smarts of the Captains of the Sands. This group is made up of about 100 youths who sleep in an abandoned warehouse and eke out a starvation existence by thieving. In the various chapters, the focus shifts between one of several characters in the gang. This makes it feel like a collection of stories rather than a novel. The pretext that this is an objective documentation of events also falls away with each successive story. Through it all, though, there is a sense that there are no alternatives for these orphans if they want to survive. They are led by Pedro Bala (Bullet). It took me quite some time to come to terms with the leader’s casual rape of a 15-year old girl. For a while, I tried to convince myself that we were not meant to approve of Bullet or the actions of the other Captains of the Sands. Cruelty is not a stranger in their lives. Why should they be expected to treat others with a humanity that is denied to them? However, with no more mention of the assault (he later thinks about his sport of ‘pulling little black girls onto the sand’ to have his way with them as different than his love for Dora), the narrative moves forward. Worse yet, it is clear that we are meant to admire Bullet. Frankly, to have him romanticized after that is a bit galling. What was still compelling was the inability of any of the other orphans to achieve their dreams. They recognize that such dreams are impossible and sabotage them if there’s a chance at them coming true. For instance, at one point, Legless is taken into a home with a woman who treats him like a mother. Instead of accepting the love he has yearned for he lets the gang know how best to rob the house and disappears. When the Professor’s artistic skill is admired by a man who is in a position to help him with his art, the Professor throws the man’s card away and tells Bullet that all they’ll ever be is thieves. Though some of the gang including the Professor move away from the gang near the end in order to chase after their dreams, a pervading feeling remains that nothing has changed the way a class-conscious society looks down on the less fortunate. That’s probably why the very last pages of Captains of the Sands resound with such revolutionary fervor. More than anything else, Amado wanted the world to understand the suffering of the Bahian people.

“I am a deceased writer not in the sense of one who has written and is now deceased, but in the sense of one who had died and is now writing.” So begins the posthumous memoir of Braz Cubas, a wealthy nineteenth-century Brazilian. Though the grave has given Cubas the distance to examine his rather undistinguished life, it has not dampened his sense of humor. In the tradition of Laurence Stern’s Tristram Shamdy, Epitaph of a Small Winner is one of the wittiest self-portraits in literary history.

Written in his distinctively dazzling manner, Oscar Wilde’s story of a fashionable young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty is the author’s most popular work. The tale of Dorian Gray’s moral disintegration caused a scandal when it ﬁrst appeared in 1890, but though Wilde was attacked for the novel’s corrupting inﬂuence, he responded that there is, in fact, “a terrible moral in Dorian Gray.” Just a few years later, the book and the aesthetic/moral dilemma it presented became issues in the trials occasioned by Wilde’s homosexual liaisons, which resulted in his imprisonment. Of Dorian Gray’s relationship to autobiography, Wilde noted in a letter, “Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry what the world thinks me: Dorian what I would like to be—in other ages, perhaps.

When the mad philosopher Quincas Borba dies, he leaves to his friend Rubiao the entirety of his wealth and property, with a single stipulation: Rubiao must take care of Quincas Borba's dog, who is also named Quincas Borba, and who may indeed have assumed the soul of the dead philosopher. Flush with his newfound wealth, Rubiao heads for Rio de Janeiro and plunges headlong into a world where fantasy and reality become increasingly difficult to keep separate. Brilliantly translated by Gregory Rabassa, Quincas Borba is a masterful satire not only on life in Imperial Brazil but the human condition itself.

'The seed of madness exists in all of us and with no warning may attack, overpower, crush and bury us ... 'Policarpo Quaresma - fastidious civil servant, dedicated patriot, self-styled visionary - is a defender of all things Brazilian, full of schemes to improve his beloved homeland. Yet somehow each of his ventures, whether it is petitioning for Brazil's national language to be changed, buying a farm to prove the richness and fertility of the land, or offering support to government forces as they suppress a military revolt - results in ridicule and disaster. Quixotic and hapless, Quaresma's dreams will eventually be his undoing.Funny, despairing, moving and absurd, Lima Barreto's masterpiece shows a man and a country caught in the violent clash between illusion and reality, hope and decline, sanity and madness. (Penguin Classics)

For the first time, all five novels in the epic fantasy series that inspired HBO's "Game of Thrones "are together in one boxed set. An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin--dubbed "the American Tolkien" by "Time" magazine--international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now here is the entire monumental cycle: A GAME OF THRONESA CLASH OF KINGSA STORM OF SWORDSA FEAST OF CROWSA DANCE WITH DRAGONS Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse--unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.  Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister--the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms.  Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki--whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys."

As the civil war rages in 1980s Mozambique, an old man and a young boy, refugees from the war, seek shelter in a burnt-out bus. Among the effects of a dead passenger, they come across a set of notebooks that tell of his life. As the boy reads the story to his elderly companion, this story and their own develop in tandem. Written in 1992, Mia Couto’s first novel is a powerful indictment of the suffering war brings.

Announcing a major literary event: here is the first translation into English of a landmark precursor of Latin American magical realism, which has informed the work of contemporary writers from Garcia Marquez to Salman Rushdie. Macunaima, first published in Portuguese in 1928, and one of the masterworks of Brazilian literature, is a comic folkloric rhapsody (call it a novel if you really want) about the adventures of a popular hero whose fate is intended to define the national character of Brazil."Inventive, blessedly unsentimental," as Kirkus Reviews has it, and incorporating and interpreting the rich exotic myths and legends of Brazil, Macunaima traces the hero's quest for a magic charm, a gift from the gods, that he lost by transgressing the mores of his culture. Born in the heart of the darkness of the jungle, Macunaima is a complex of contradictory traits (he is, of course, "a hero without a character"), and can at will magically change his age, his race, his geographic location, to suit his purposes and overcome obstacles. Dramatizing aspects of Brazil in transition (multiracial, Indian versus European, rural versus urban life), Macunaima undergoes sometimes hilarious, sometimes grotesque transformations until his final annihilation and apotheosis as the Great Bear constellation in the heavens.

Um conto bem divertido onde o autor satiriza a falsa sabedoria, a artificialidade de alguns intelectuais, o poder dos títulos e dos cargos, a necessidade de fingir conhecimentos, a troca de favores, as aparências e tantas outras atitudes hipócritas da sociedade da época.O protagonista é um malandro, oportunista, esperto, mentiroso, mas como se costuma dizer "para haver malandro é preciso haver otário".

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there.After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills — and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit — he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies is perhaps our most memorable novel about “the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”

Paulo Leminski foi corajoso o bastante para se equilibrar entre duas enormes construções que rivalizavam na década de 1970, quando publicava seus primeiros versos: a poesia concreta, de feição mais erudita e superinformada, e a lírica que florescia entre os jovens de vinte e poucos anos da chamada “geração mimeógrafo”.Ao conciliar a rigidez da construção formal e o mais genuíno coloquialismo, o autor praticou ao longo de sua vida um jogo de gato e rato com leitores e críticos. Se por um lado tinha pleno conhecimento do que se produzira de melhor na poesia - do Ocidente e do Oriente -, por outro parecia comprazer-se em mostrar um “à vontade” que não raro beirava o improviso, dando um nó na cabeça dos mais conservadores. Pura artimanha de um poeta consciente e dotado das melhores ferramentas para escrever versos.Entre sua estreia na poesia, em 1976, e sua morte, em 1989, a poucos meses de completar 45 anos, Leminski iria ocupar uma zona fronteiriça única na poesia contemporânea brasileira, pela qual transitariam, de forma legítima ou como contrabando, o erudito e o pop, o ultraconcentrado e a matéria mais prosaica. Não à toa, um dos títulos mais felizes de sua bibliografia é Caprichos &amp; relaxos: uma fórmula e um programa poético encapsulados com maestria.Este volume percorre, pela primeira vez, a trajetória poética completa do autor curitibano, mestre do verso lapidar e da astúcia. Livros hoje clássicos como Distraídos venceremos e La vie en close, além de raridades como Quarenta clics em Curitiba e versos já fora de catálogo estão agora novamente à disposição dos leitores, com inédito apuro editorial.O haikai, a poesia concreta, o poema-piada oswaldiano, o slogan e a canção - nada parece ter escapado ao “samurai malandro”, que demonstra, com beleza e vigor, por que tem sido um dos poetas brasileiros mais lidos e celebrados das últimas décadas. Com apresentação da poeta (e sua companheira por duas décadas) Alice Ruiz S, posfácio do crítico e compositor José Miguel Wisnik, e um apêndice que reúne textos de, entre outros, Caetano Veloso, Haroldo de Campos e Leyla Perrone-Moisés, Toda poesia é uma verdadeira aventura - para a inteligência e a sensibilidade.

Earth's future has been riddled by disasters, famines, and droughts. There is only one way to ensure mankind's survival: Interstellar travel. A newly discovered wormhole in the far reaches of our solar system allows a team of astronauts to go where no man has gone before, a planet that may have the right environment to sustain human life.

In a distant, but not so unrealistic, future where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess. Mesmerized with trinkets of Earth's history and show tunes, WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach. One day, EVE, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to Earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with EVE. WALL-E rescues EVE from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble. Consistent with her "directive", EVE takes the plant and automatically enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon. WALL-E, doesn't understand what has happened to his new friend, but, true to his love, he protects her from wind, rain, and lightning, even as she is unresponsive. One day a massive ship comes to reclaim EVE, but WALL-E, out of love or loneliness, hitches a ride on the outside of the ship to rescue EVE. The ship arrives back at a large space cruise ship, which is carrying all of the humans who evacuated Earth 700 years earlier. The people of Earth ride around this space resort on hovering chairs which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting. They drink all of their meals through a straw out of laziness and/or bone loss, and are all so fat that they can barely move. When the auto-pilot computer, acting on hastily-given instructions sent many centuries before, tries to prevent the people of Earth from returning by stealing the plant, WALL-E, EVE, the portly captain, and a band of broken robots stage a mutiny.

But being just one hero in a world filled with them, his life is empty and hollow: he gets no respect from anyone, he displays a laidback attitude to everything and for the most part, he finds his overall hero life pointless... and worst of all, he lost his hair due to intense training. These are the adventures of an ordinary yet extraordinary hero.

The all new "true crime" case of Fargo's new chapter travels back to 1979 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Luverne, Minnesota, where a young State Police Officer Lou Solverson, recently back from Vietnam, investigates a case involving a local crime gang and a major Mob syndicate. Helping him piece things together is his father-in-law, Sheriff Hank Larsson. The investigation will lead them to a colorful cast of characters that includes Karl Weathers, the town lawyer of Luverne, Minnesota. A Korean War vet, Karl is a flowery drunk blessed with the gift of gab and the eloquence of a true con artist. Joe Bulo, the front man for the northern expansion of a Kansas City crime syndicate. The new face of corporate crime, Joe's bringing a Walmart mentality to small town America. His number two is Mike Milligan. Part enforcer, part detective, Mike is always smiling - but the joke is usually on you. Bulo and his crew have their sights set on the Gerhardt crime family in Fargo, currently led by matriarch Floyd Gerhardt. With her husband at death's door, Floyd takes over the family business, frustrating her eldest son, Dodd Gerhardt. An impatient hothead with a cruel streak to match his ambitions, Dodd can't wait for both his parents to die so he can take over and expand their business from kingdom to empire. Bear Gerhardt is the middle son, an intimidatingly large man who, although inarticulate, is the most decent of his clan. Rye Gerhardt, the youngest of the Gerhardt clan, views himself as a big shot, but in reality he's just a small dog who barks big.
