A twisted young medical student kidnaps the girl of his dreams and embarks on a dark and delirious road trip across Brazil in the English-language debut of one of Brazil's most celebrated young crime writers. Teo Avelar is a loner. He lives with his paraplegic mother and her dog in Rio de Janeiro, he doesn't have many friends, and the only time he feels honest human emotion is in the presence of his medical school cadaver--that is, until he meets Clarice. She's almost his exact opposite: exotic, spontaneous, unafraid to speak her mind. An aspiring screenwriter, she's working on a screenplay called Perfect Days about three friends who go on a road trip across Brazil in search of romance. Teo is obsessed. He begins to stalk her, first following to her university, then to her home, and when she ultimately rejects him, Teo kidnaps her and they embark upon their very own twisted odyssey across Brazil, tracing the same route outlined in her screenplay. Through it all, Teo is certain that time is all he needs to prove to Clarice that they are made for each other, that time is all he needs to make her fall in love with him. But as the journey progresses, he keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into a pit that he can't get out of, stopping at nothing to ensure that no one gets in the way of their life together. Both tense and lurid, and brimming with suspense from the very first page, Perfect Days is a psychological thriller in the vein of [Patricia Highsmith](/authors/OL28577A)'s [The Talented Mr. Ripley](/works/OL15845435W)--a chilling journey in the passenger seat with a psychopath. It marks the English language debut of one of Brazil's most deliciously dark young writers.

"The most translated book in the world after the Bible, the Tao Te Ching, or "Book of the Way," is a guide to cultivating a life of peace, serenity, and compassion. Through aphorisms and parable, it leads readers toward the Tao, or the "Way": harmony with the life force of the universe. Traditionally attributed to Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher who was a contemporary of Confucius, it is the essential text of Taoism, one of the three great religions of ancient China. As one of the world's great works of wisdom literature, it still has much to teach us today, offering a practical model based on modesty and self-restraint for living a balanced existence and for opening your mind, freeing your thoughts, and attaining enlightenment and self-awareness. With its emphasis on calm, simplicity, purity, and non-action, it provides a time-tested refuge from the busyness of modern life. This new translation seeks to understand the Tao Te Ching as a guide to everyday living and encourages a slow, meditative reading experience. The Tao Te Ching's eighty-one brief chapters are accompanied by illuminating commentary, interpretation, poems, and testimonials by the likes of Margaret Mead, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. Specially commissioned calligraphy for more than two hundred Chinese characters illustrates the book's essential themes"--
Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected also that someone had been blackmailing her. Then, tragically, came the news that she had taken her own life with an apparent drug overdose. However, the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of information, but before he could finish reading the letter, he was stabbed to death. Luckily one of Roger’s friends and the newest resident to retire to this normally quiet village takes over—none other than Monsieur Hercule Poirot . . . Not only beloved by generations of readers, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was one of Agatha Christie’s own favorite works—a brilliant whodunit that firmly established the author’s reputation as the Queen of Mystery. --back cover

En la actualidad probablemente hayan sido las diversas versiones cinematográficas, desde la época del cine mudo, las que conservan con mayor pasión la fama de la voluminosa novela Los miserables, publicada en 1862. Quizá la mejor de la prolífica producción del francés Víctor Hugo (1802 – 1885) y una de las más importantes del siglo XIX. Pobres, revolucionarios, burgueses, perseguidos y hasta un obispo, preconizador de la auténtica moral Evangélica, desfilan con una minuciosidad y maestría desconocidas hasta entonces, lo que convierte a la obra en un instrumento de denuncia que no ha perdido su vigencia y en la que el triunfo del verdadero Amor, Amor con mayúscula, recorre todos los rincones de su argumento.

Billy has long dreamt of owning not one, but two dogs. So when he’s finally able to save up enough money for two pups to call his own—Old Dan and Little Ann—he’s ecstatic. It’s true that times are tough, but together they’ll roam the hills of the Ozarks. Soon Billy and his hounds become the finest hunting team in the valley. Stories of their great achievements spread throughout the region, and the combination of Old Dan’s brawn, Little Ann’s brains, and Billy’s sheer will seems unbeatable. But tragedy awaits these determined hunters—now friends—and Billy learns that hope can grow out of despair. -- https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/139387/where-the-red-fern-grows-by-wilson-rawls/9780399551239
Callie loves theater. And while she would totally try out for her middle school's production of Moon over Mississippi, she can't really sing. Instead she's the set designer for the drama department's stage crew, and this year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen. And when two cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier!
"Since his boyhood in a poor village in Central Anatolia, Mevlut Karataş has fantasized about what his life would become. Not getting as far in school as he'd hoped, at the age of twelve he comes to Istanbul--"the center of the world"--And is immediately enthralled by both the old city that is disappearing and the new one that is fast being built. He follows his father's trade, selling boza (a traditional mildly alcoholic Turkish drink) on the street, and hoping to become rich, like other villagers who have settled the desolate hills outside the booming metropolis. But luck never seems to be on Mevlut's side. As he watches his relations settle down and make their fortunes, he spends three years writing love letters to a girl he saw just once at a wedding, only to elope by mistake with her sister. And though he grows to cherish his wife and the family they have, he stumbles toward middle age in a series of jobs leading nowhere. His sense of missing something leads him sometimes to the politics of his friends and intermittently to the teachings of a charismatic religious guide. But every evening, without fail, Mevlut still wanders the streets of Istanbul, selling boza and wondering at the "strangeness" of his mind, the sensation that makes him feel different from everyone else, until fortune conspires once more to let him understand at last what it is he has always yearned for."--Jacket.
Em uma nova edição, ilustrada por Ted Nasmith, O Silmarillioné o relato dos Dias Antigos da Primeira Era do mundo criado por J.R.R. Tolkien. É a história longínqua para a qual os personagens de "O Senhor dos Anéis" e "O Hobbit" olham para trás, e em cujos eventos alguns deles, como Elrond e Galadriel, tomaram parte. Os contos de O Silmarillion se passam na época em que Morgoth, o Primeiro Senhor Sombrio, habitava a Terra-média, e os Altos-Elfos guerreavam contra ele pela recuperação das Silmarils, as joias que continham a pura luz de Valinor. O livro começa com o "Ainulindalë", o mito da criação do Universo, seguido pelo "Valaquenta", onde estão descritas a natureza e os poderes de cada um dos deuses. Em o “Quenta Silmarillion” há o início da contagem dos dias em Arda (o mundo onde está inserido o continente da Terra-média), a história dos Elfos na Terra Abençoada do Oeste, seus êxodos e o desenrolar das guerras élficas em Beleriand, que culminaram com o final da Primeira Era. O "Akallabêth" narra o apogeu e a queda do reino da grande ilha de Númenor no final da Segunda Era. Por fim, "Dos Anéis de Poder" fala dos grandes eventos no final da Terceira Era, como narrado em "O Senhor dos Anéis". O livro começa com "O Ainulindalë", o mito da criação do Universo, seguido pelo "Valaquenta", onde estão descritas a natureza e os poderes de cada um dos deuses.

Em Roshar, um mundo feito de pedras e fustigado por tempestades, o meio ambiente hostil moldou a fauna, a flora e a civilização. Ali, os animais abrigam-se em conchas e as cidades só se desenvolvem em áreas protegidas por rochas. É nesse cenário singular que se travam várias guerras catastróficas pela posse de objetos místicos capazes de transformar seres comuns em guerreiros praticamente invencíveis. Esta maravilhosa fantasia épica, ambientada num riquíssimo universo habilmente construído por Brandon Sanderson, conquista o leitor desde as primeiras páginas. Por meio de uma narrativa intricada e imersiva, Sanderson escreveu uma obra-prima que o tornou uma das maiores referências mundiais da literatura fantástica.

Louis, połączony niezwykłą miłością z Klaudią, wspomina jej rozpaczliwe próby zrozumienia samej siebie i nienawiść do Lestata, która w dużej mierze zdecydowała o ich wspólnej podróży do źródeł swego pochodzenia. Poszukując innych, podobnych do siebie, trafili w Paryżu do teatru prawdziwych wampirów, udających tylko śmiertelnych, oddanych sztuce autorskiej. Zamiast odpowiedzi na pytanie kim są i dlaczego żyją na świecie, czekały ich nowe zagrożenia.

Num futuro não muito distante, o planeta está devastado. As cidades foram transformadas em ruínas e pó; as florestas viraram cinzas, os céus ficaram turvos com a fuligem e os mares se tornaram estéreis; os poucos sobreviventes vagam em bandos. Em meio a essa Terra arrasada, um homem e seu filho caminham por estradas abandonadas, em direção à costa. Empurram um carrinho com seus poucos pertences, estão em farrapos e com os rostos cobertos por panos para se protegerem da fuligem que preenche o ar e recobre a paisagem. Tentam fugir do frio, sem saber, no entanto, o que encontrarão no final da viagem. Mas essa jornada é a única coisa que pode mantê-los unidos, que pode lhes dar um pouco de força para sobreviver. Obra que representa uma mudança surpreendente na ficção de McCarthy, A estrada é muito mais do que um relato pós-apocalíptico. É a história profunda e comovente de um pai e seu filho, “cada um o mundo inteiro do outro”, e a jornada que empreendem num futuro em que não existe mais esperança. Nesse cenário desolador, o amor entre ambos os fará prosseguir em busca da salvação.

Nel paese di Nod, a est del giardino dell'Eden, dove la progenie di Caino andò a vivere secondo la leggenda biblica e che nel romanzo di John Steinbeck corrisponde simbolicamente alla valle percorsa dal fiume Salinas nella California settentrionale, si intrecciano le storie di due famiglie, gli Hamilton e i Trask. Protagonisti della saga, che va dalla Guerra civile alla Prima guerra mondiale, da una parte il vecchio Samuel Hamilton, immigrato dall'Irlanda; e, dall'altra, Cyrus Trask insieme ai figli Adam e Charles, e ai nipoti Aron e Caleb, gemelli nati dalla misteriosa Cathy Ames, reincarnazione di Eva e di Satana allo stesso tempo, emblema del male nel mondo, con il quale tutti nel corso della lunga vicenda devono misurarsi. Pubblicato negli Stati Uniti nel 1952 e ora riproposto nella nuova traduzione di Maria Baiocchi e Anna Tagliavini, «La valle dell'Eden» è il romanzo in cui Steinbeck ha creato i suoi personaggi più affascinanti e ha esplorato più a fondo i suoi temi ricorrenti: il mistero dell'identità, l'ineffabilità dell'amore e le conseguenze tragiche della mancanza d'affetto. Al tempo stesso saga famigliare e moderna trasposizione del mito, «La valle dell'Eden» è il capolavoro della maturità di Steinbeck, da cui nel 1955 Elia Kazan ha tratto l'omonimo film con James Dean. Introduzione di Luigi Sampietro.
Set in the closing months of World War II in an American bomber squadron off the coast of Italy, Catch-22 is the story of a bombardier named Yossarian who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he has never even met keep trying to kill him.
Dal 1876 Tom Sawyer e i suoi compagni di avventure Huck Finn, Joe Harper e Becky Thatcher hanno conquistato intere generazioni che hanno letto e fatto leggere le mirabolanti storie di cui sono protagonisti i ragazzi (e un po' gli adulti) di St Petersburg sul Mississippi, un vero centro del mondo proprio perché isolato dal resto della terra. Qui, ai confini della società civile, prima che scomparissero le frontiere e in una natura incontaminata, Mark Twain ambienta il suo romanzo piú amato insieme con Huckleberry Finn, che ne è il seguito: le vicende dei giovani protagonisti scuotono il villaggio dal suo pacifico torpore e diventano, come ha scritto Cesare Pavese, «autentiche storie di un'anima - di un corpo, - memorie, per cui il reale non è un dato, ma una scoperta inesausta». Con un saggio di Vernon Louis Parrington. Traduzione di Enzo Giachino. Introduzione di Gianni Zanmarchi.
