    <book_description><![CDATA[Os irmãos Karamázov é o último romance de Dostoiévski. No fundo, ele resume toda a criatividade do escritor, trazendo à baila as "malditas" questões existenciais que o afligiram a vida inteira, com especial relevo para a flagrante degradação moral da humanidade afastada dos ideais cristãos. Cheia de peripécias, a narrativa põe em foco três protagonistas irmãos, representantes dos mais diversos aspectos da realidade russa – o libertino Dmítri, o niilista Ivan e o sublime Aliocha –, a fim de alumiar as profundezas insondáveis do coração entregue ao pecado, corrompido por dúvidas ou transbordante de amor.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by iCarly and Sam &amp; Cat star Jennette McCurdy about her struggles as a former child actor—including eating disorders, addiction, and a complicated relationship with her overbearing mother—and how she retook control of her life.<br /><br />Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.<br /><br />In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail—just as she chronicles what happens when the dream finally comes true. Cast in a new Nickelodeon series called iCarly, she is thrust into fame. Though Mom is ecstatic, emailing fan club moderators and getting on a first-name basis with the paparazzi (“Hi Gale!”), Jennette is riddled with anxiety, shame, and self-loathing, which manifest into eating disorders, addiction, and a series of unhealthy relationships. These issues only get worse when, soon after taking the lead in the iCarly spinoff Sam &amp; Cat alongside Ariana Grande, her mother dies of cancer. Finally, after discovering therapy and quitting acting, Jennette embarks on recovery and decides for the first time in her life what she really wants.<br /><br />Told with refreshing candor and dark humor, I’m Glad My Mom Died is an inspiring story of resilience, independence, and the joy of shampooing your own hair.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Fifty years after its original publication, Catch-22 remains a cornerstone of American literature and one of the funniest—and most celebrated—books of all time. In recent years it has been named to “best novels” lists by Time, Newsweek, the Modern Library, and the London Observer.<br /><br />Set in Italy during World War II, this is the story of the incomparable, malingering bombardier, Yossarian, a hero who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy—it is his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to excuse himself from the perilous missions he’s assigned, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule: a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but if he makes a formal request to be removed from duty, he is proven sane and therefore ineligible to be relieved.<br /><br />This fiftieth-anniversary edition commemorates Joseph Heller’s masterpiece with a new introduction by Christopher Buckley; a wealth of critical essays and reviews by Norman Mailer, Alfred Kazin, Anthony Burgess, and others; rare papers and photos from Joseph Heller’s personal archive; and much more. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Uma terrível "treva branca" vai deixando cegos, um a um, os habitantes de uma cidade. Com essa fantasia aterradora, Saramago nos obriga fechar os olhos e ver. Recuperar a lucidez, resgatar o afeto: essas são as tarefas do escritor e de cada leitor, diante da pressão dos tempos e do que se perdeu.</b><br /><br />Um motorista parado no sinal se descobre subitamente cego. É o primeiro caso de uma "treva branca" que logo se espalha incontrolavelmente. Resguardados em quarentena, os cegos se perceberão reduzidos à essência humana, numa verdadeira viagem às trevas.<br /><br />O <i>Ensaio sobre a cegueira</i> é a fantasia de um autor que nos faz lembrar "a responsabilidade de ter olhos quando os outros os perderam". José Saramago nos dá, aqui, uma imagem aterradora e comovente de tempos sombrios, à beira de um novo milênio, impondo-se à companhia dos maiores visionários modernos, como Franz Kafka e Elias Canetti. Cada leitor viverá uma experiência imaginativa única. Num ponto onde se cruzam literatura e sabedoria, José Saramago nos obriga a parar, fechar os olhos e ver. Recuperar a lucidez, resgatar o afeto: essas são as tarefas do escritor e de cada leitor, diante da pressão dos tempos e do que se perdeu: "uma coisa que não tem nome, essa coisa é o que somos".<br /><br />A caligrafia da capa é de autoria do músico e escritor Chico Buarque.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Com excesso de erros no início do romance, os relatos de Charlie revelam sua condição limitada, consequência de uma grave deficiência intelectual, que ao menos o mantém protegido dentro de um “mundo” particular – indiferente às gozações dos colegas de trabalho e intocado por tragédias familiares. Porém, ao participar de uma cirurgia revolucionária que aumenta o seu QI, ele não apenas se torna mais inteligente que os próprios médicos que o operaram, como também vira testemunha de uma nova realidade: ácida, crua e problemática. Se o conhecimento é uma benção, Daniel Keyes constrói um personagem complexo e intrigante, que questiona essa sorte e reflete sobre suas relações sociais e a própria existência. E tudo isso ao lado de Algernon, seu rato de estimação e a primeira cobaia bem-sucedida no processo cirúrgico.<br /><br />Perturbador e profundo, Flores para Algernon é tão contemporâneo quanto na época de sua primeira publicação, debatendo visões de mundo, relações interpessoais e, claro, a percepção sobre nós mesmos. Assim, se você está preparado para explorar as realidades de Charlie Gordon, também é a chance para perguntar: afinal, o mundo que sempre percebemos a nossa volta realmente existe?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[O romance entre o sírio Nacib e a mulata Gabriela, um dos mais sedutores personagens femininos criados por Jorge Amado, tem como pano de fundo, em meados dos anos 1920, a luta pela modernização de Ilhéus, em desenvolvimento graças às exportações do cacau. Com sua sensualidade inocente, Gabriela não apenas conquista o coração de Nacib como também seduz um sem-número de homens ilheenses, colocando em xeque a lei que exigia que a desonra do adultério feminino fosse lavada com sangue.<br />Publicado em 1958, o livro logo se tornou um sucesso mundial. Na televisão, a história se transformou numa das novelas brasileiras mais aclamadas mundo afora.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Um dos romances mais populares de Jorge Amado, levado com êxito ao cinema, ao teatro e à televisão, Dona Flor e seus dois maridos conta a história de Florípedes Paiva, que conhece em seus dois casamentos a dupla face do amor: com o boêmio Vadinho, Flor vive a paixão avassaladora, o erotismo febril, o ciúme que corrói. Com o farmacêutico Teodoro, com quem se casa depois da morte do primeiro marido, encontra a paz doméstica, a segurança material, o amor metódico.<br />Um dia, porém, Vadinho retorna sob a forma de um fantasma capaz de proporcionar de novo à protagonista o êxtase dos embates eróticos. Por obra da fantasia literária de Jorge Amado e da intervenção das entidades do candomblé, Flor consegue conciliar no amor o fogo e a calmaria, a aventura e a segurança, a paixão e a gentileza.<br />Lançada em 1966, esta narrativa ousada e exuberante, plena de humor e ironia, é uma saborosa crônica de costumes da Bahia da primeira metade do século XX e um retrato inventivo das ambigüidades que marcam o Brasil.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA["Poucos escritores penetraram tão fundo na alma dos seus personagens quanto Leon Tolstói, dono de uma técnica narrativa certeira­ e cristalina. É o que pode ser visto em "O diabo", conto escrito em 1898. De origem autobiográfica – e provavelmente em razão disso –, o texto só foi publicado postumamente, em 1916, já que Tolstói­ o escondera por considerá-lo escandaloso. "O diabo"­ trata de questões caras ao autor de Guerra e paz: o papel do casamento,­ do sexo e das relações amorosas, bem como a responsabilidade moral dos indiví­duos. Na história, Evguêni, um bacharel em direito,­ se envolve com uma bela camponesa da região, num caso que teria tudo para ser esquecido e relegado às loucuras de juventude. Mas Evguêni é jovem, e não percebe que está criando armadilhas para si mesmo..." [kobo]]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Ich denke, also bin ich</b>109 Jahre nach dem Ende des Dritten Weltkriegs leben nur noch fünf Menschen. Sie hausen in unterirdischen Stollen, immer am Rande des Verhungerns, und werden jede Minute ihres Lebens von einem Supercomputer gefoltert, der ein Bewusstsein erlangt hat – und mit ihm unendlichen Hass auf seine Erbauer. Es gibt nur einen einzigen Ausweg für die gequälten Menschen – doch welcher von ihnen wird stark genug sein, ihn zu wählen? Die Kurzgeschichte „Ich muss schreien und habe keinen Mund“ erscheint als exklusives E-Book Only bei Heyne und ist zusammen mit weiteren Stories von Harlan Ellison auch in dem Sammelband „Ich muss schreien und habe keinen Mund“ enthalten. Sie umfasst ca. 22 Buchseiten.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Anne Frank's extraordinary diary, written in the Amsterdam attic where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years, has become a world classic and a timeless testament to the human spirit. Now, in a new edition enriched by many passages originally withheld by her father, we meet an Anne more real, more human, and more vital than ever. Here she is first and foremost a teenage girl—stubbornly honest, touchingly vulnerable, in love with life. She imparts her deeply secret world of soul-searching and hungering for affection, rebellious clashes with her mother, romance and newly discovered sexuality, and wry, candid observations of her companions. Facing hunger, fear of discovery and death, and the petty frustrations of such confined quarters, Anne writes with adult wisdom and views beyond her years. Her story is that of every teenager, lived out in conditions few teenagers have ever known.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<p>“Pois, de <i>O segundo sexo</i> a <i>A cerimônia do adeus</i>, o empenho principal de Beauvoir foi o de construir uma nova identidade, sobretudo feminina, mas comum a todos na exigência da liberdade.” – <i>Folha de S. Paulo</i></p><p>Provedora, vassala, acolhedora. Não importa como se apresenta, o lugar da mulher sempre foi definido pelo homem. Este configura a posição central na sociedade. O homem – que tomou para si a definição de “ser humano” – relega à mulher uma posição secundária, um papel de coadjuvante na História. Foi a partir dessa constatação e da pergunta “o que é uma mulher?” que a filósofa existencialista Simone de Beauvoir deu início à sua reflexão para escrever "O segundo sexo".</p><p>A preocupação contudo não foi em equiparar um gênero a outro. Para ela, isso seria demasiado simplista, inclusive porque o homem é “um ser absoluto”, enquanto a mulher ainda não o é. Simone de Beauvoir procurou compreender de que maneira a mulher ocupou, ou a fizeram ocupar, essa posição de “segundo sexo” em diferentes sociedades, como ela se coloca no mundo e como contribui para essa configuração social.</p><p>Livro que consagrou a autora na filosofia mundial e referência básica para o movimento feminista do século XX, "O segundo sexo" foi publicado originalmente em 1949, período turbulento de pós-guerra, quando sobretudo a Europa vivia um penoso processo de reestruturação e a França abria, aos poucos, espaço para as mulheres no campo social e político – apenas em 1944 permitiu-se o voto feminino. Mas a obra não ficou datada: inaugurou um novo modelo de pensamento sobre a mulher na sociedade e tornou-se atemporal e definitiva.</p><p>Nesta edição mais do que especial, reunimos os dois volumes que compõem integralmente o ensaio de Simone de Beauvoir. Um estudo minucioso e bem-organizado que aborda grandes pensadores da filosofia ocidental, de santo Agostinho a Hegel, Lévi-Strauss e Merleau-Ponty, entre tantos outros, e que permeia os diversos campos do conhecimento – biologia, sociologia, psicanálise, história –, dando-nos um panorama completo da condição feminina na sociedade.</p>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>"S. Bernardo"</b>, também publicado com o nome "São Bernardo" é uma obra-prima da literatura brasileira escrita por <b>Graciliano Ramos</b> e publicada em 1934. O romance é uma narrativa intensa e impactante que aborda questões sociais, políticas e existenciais por meio da vida do protagonista, Paulo Honório.A trama se desenrola sob a forma de um monólogo, onde Paulo Honório narra sua própria história. Ele é um ex-vaqueiro que, por meio de determinação e astúcia, torna-se um poderoso fazendeiro em S. Bernardo, sertão de Alagoas. Contudo, sua trajetória de ascensão social é marcada por conflitos, solidão e perda de valores humanos.A exploração da psicologia do protagonista é um dos pontos fortes do livro. Paulo Honório é um personagem complexo, cujas ações são guiadas pela ambição desmedida e pelo desejo de controle. A narrativa revela suas vulnerabilidades e suas justificativas para as escolhas questionáveis que faz ao longo da vida. Além do aspecto psicológico, "<b>S. Bernardo</b>" também é uma crítica social contundente. <b>Graciliano Ramos</b> utiliza o cenário árido do sertão nordestino como pano de fundo para discutir as desigualdades sociais, a exploração dos trabalhadores rurais e as consequências do poder nas mãos de poucos. A linguagem seca e direta contribui para a atmosfera austera do romance. O autor utiliza um estilo conciso e objetivo para transmitir a frieza do universo de Paulo Honório e a falta de conexões emocionais em sua vida. A ausência de adornos na escrita amplifica a força das palavras e a mensagem que o autor deseja transmitir.O desfecho da história revela as consequências de uma vida pautada pela ganância e pela ausência de valores humanos. Paulo Honório, apesar de suas conquistas materiais, percebe a solidão e o vazio de sua existência.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[David Copperfield is the story of a young man's adventures on his journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among the gloriously vivid cast of characters he encounters are his tyrannical stepfather, Mr Murdstone; his brilliant, but ultimately unworthy school-friend James Steerforth; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble, yet treacherous Uriah Heep; frivolous, enchanting Dora Spenlow; and the magnificently impecunious Wilkins Micawber, one of literature's great comic creations. In David Copperfield - the novel he described as his 'favourite child' - Dickens drew revealingly on his own experiences to create one of the most exuberant and enduringly popular works, filled with tragedy and comedy in equal measure. This edition uses the text of the first volume publication of 1850, and includes updated suggestions for further reading, original illustrations by 'Phiz', a revised chronology and expanded notes. In his new introduction, Jeremy Tambling discusses the novel's autobiographical elements, and its central themes of memory and identity.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>
  <i>"Vidas Secas"</i>
</b> é uma obra-prima da literatura brasileira escrita por <b>Graciliano Ramos</b>. Publicado em 1938, o romance é considerado um marco do realismo social no Brasil e aborda temas como a seca, a pobreza e a luta pela sobrevivência no sertão nordestino.<br /><br /><b>"Vidas Secas" </b>transporta os leitores para um ambiente árido e desolado do Nordeste brasileiro, onde uma família de retirantes enfrenta as duras condições impostas pela seca. A trama segue a jornada dos membros da família composta por Fabiano, Sinhá Vitória, seus dois filhos, o mais velho chamado de Menino mais novo, e a cachorrinha Baleia. Cada personagem representa uma faceta da luta pela sobrevivência em meio à aridez da terra e da alma.<br /><b>Graciliano Ramos</b> constrói uma narrativa árida e concisa, espelhando a própria realidade cruel enfrentada pelos personagens. A seca é uma presença constante, não apenas na paisagem, mas também na vida de cada um. A fome, a sede e a busca por um lugar melhor são forças motrizes que conduzem a família de um lugar para outro, sem destino fixo.<br />A linguagem do autor é marcada pela simplicidade e pela objetividade, características que refletem a secura do ambiente retratado. A ausência de floreios literários contribui para a contundência do retrato social apresentado. O uso do discurso indireto livre aproxima o leitor das perspectivas e das angústias dos personagens, mergulhando-o na dura realidade que enfrentam.<br />A figura de <i>Baleia</i>, a cachorrinha da família, desempenha um papel simbólico fundamental. Ela é mais do que um simples animal de estimação; é um elo emocional que conecta a família ao seu único senso de pertencimento. A lealdade de Baleia destaca-se como um contraste emocional à crueldade do meio ambiente.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Guts the Black Swordsman and his companions brave the open sea, hoping to reach Puck's homeland, Elfhelm, and its powerful elven king, who might be able to restore the sanity of Guts' former lover, Casca. But seeking out a sanctuary for Casca means that Guts must postpone his hunt for his ex-friend and leader, Griffith, who has been reborn as a demon lord hell-bent on conquest. The winds of change blow fast and hard across the war-torn lands of the Holy See, and if Guts waits too long to exact his vengeance, Griffith might attain his murderous goals before Guts can return to Midland to stop him!]]></book_description>

But Griffith, Guts' former commander and friend reborn as a demonic lord of the Godhand, has plans of his own for the emperor, and for Midland itself.

    <book_description><![CDATA[Escaping the port city of Vritannis is no easy task, for even the finest ship is useless if it can't be reached, and a horde of Kushan monsters stalks the city's docks. Led by a powerful necromancer who has mastered both the elements and the monsters of the deep, this hideous brigade may be too much for Guts the Black Swordsman and his companions to handle, even if Guts and Schierke are able to join forces and control the awful wrath of the Berserker armor. And will it even matter, if the Kushan emperor makes Guts an offer he can't refuse?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Thanks to Lady Farnese's selfless sacrifice, Guts, the Black Swordsman, and the rest of his companions are free to carry on their journey aboard the ship of Farnese's brother, Magnifico — that is, if they're willing to leave Farnese behind. But having to choose between their mission and their loyalties might not be a problem for long if the Kushan emperor and his legion of monstrous minions have their way. With a host of Kushan forces descending on Vritannis, there might not be much left of Farnese's family — or any of the citizenry — to worry about!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Guts, the Black Swordsman, and his companions have finally broken free of the monster-infested wilderness and arrived at the port city of Vritannis. But the band finds out all too quickly that humans can be just as monstrous as the nightmarish creatures and apostles they battled in the forest. As Schierke and Isidro face off against pirate slavers, Farnese's power-hungry family tries to force her once again under the yoke of their political ambitions. The group's only hope is to find a ship out of the city, but even if they manage to secure a vessel, will everyone be free to leave?]]></book_description>

The troupe's brief respite at the shore offers moments for quiet introspection and deeper bonding, but such peace is always short lived where Guts is involved, and Guts must once again don the demonic Berserker Armor to take on a force of bloodthirsty beasts emerging from the once-peaceful surf, possessed by the accursed sorcery of a powerful Kushan enchanter! And who knows what will happen when internal strife pushes a member of Guts's band unknowingly into the comforting companionship of an enemy!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Now equipped with the mystical Berserker Armor, Guts fights on against the dragon-form of Grunbeld and his legion of fanatic apostle soldiers. But the very armor that holds Guts together — in a nightmarishly literal sense — might be the last straw that tears his tortured mind apart! While Guts struggles to hold his own against his inner demons, monsters of a very different sort rally in Windham as the Kushan Emperor, Ganishka, and the newly reborn Griffith rally their forces in a head-to-head struggle for control of all of Midland. But when the dust finally settles, there may be little left of the kingdom to claim!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Guts, the Black Swordsman, goes from the frying pan to the fire as he must enter the mating chamber in the horrifying lair of trolls to rescue his love, Casca, and the Lady Farnese from the loathsome attentions of the hideous beasts. But while even an army of trolls cannot stand against Guts's boundless fury, the mightiest of warriors is no match for a demon lord. And so when Slan of the Godhand manifests from the entrails of slain trolls and takes Guts into her deadly embrace, Guts discovers he may not only be fighting for his life, but for his very soul!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Guts the Black Swordsman just can't seem to find a little peace. On his way to the idyllic tranquility of his miniature pal Puck's homeland of Elfhelm, Guts and his companions, at the behest of a local witch, assist a village beset by a plague of hideous and deadly trolls. Assisted by the witch's disciple, Schierke, the warrior band manages to turn the tide against the beasts, but when a monstrous ogre hits town, a tide of another kind is needed, a mystic flood to wash the town clean. But when Casca and Farnese are carried away by the flood, they become prisoners in the troll's den, where a fate far worse than any imaginable death awaits!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Desperate to find a sanctuary where his lover, Casca, will be safe from the demons drawn to her Brand of Sacrifice, Guts the Black Swordsman pushes his motley band of followers onward towards fairy Puck’s homeland, Elfhelm. With new allies who make their home in a mystically guarded woodland paradise, Guts’ goal seems within reach, but danger lurks in the shadows of even the most dazzling utopias, and even fairy witchery may not protect the wondrous kingdom from an army of marauding, murderous trolls!<br /><br />Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is a runaway manga locomotive, a crashing colossus of teeth-rattling action, spine-chilling horror, and taboo-breaking humor that fires the boilers of its devoted devotees and burns the rest. Ashes to ashes!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Desperate as Guts, the Black Swordsman, has been to reunite with his former captain and lover, the now-mad Casca, he’s quickly learning that being together is as dangerous as being apart. What should be a simple journey to the safety of Puck’s homeland proves to be a gauntlet of perils, as the Mark of Sacrifice each bears brings the fury of Hell down upon them, and Guts discovers that in his darkest moments he himself is the greatest danger to the woman he loves.<br /><br />Created by Kentaro Miura, Berserk is a fiery manga apocalypse, an ominous omnibus of furious action, fearsome horror, and funereal humor that strikes a power chord in the hearts of its devoted followers and strikes down the rest like a scythe through wheat. Bring in the sheaves!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Guts, the feared Black Swordsman, is on the rampage — and it's personal. Mozgus, the malefic master Inquisitor of the Holy See, in his murderous campaign against heretics, has captured Guts' former lover Casca and has her at the ready to be burned at the stake in the Tower of Conviction, little knowing that Casca's demonic Mark of Sacrifice is drawing hideous dark powers to the Tower. It'll take everything Guts has and more to defeat Mozgus — who is much, much more than a man — and even if he can, will he be able to save Casca from the hordes of Hell amidst the inquisitor's disintegrating citadel?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The Black Swordsman Guts’ former captain and lover, Casca, has been taken by the Holy Iron Chain Knights to the "Tower of Conviction" of the fanatic torturer of the Holy See, Mozgus, who plans to treat the rumored witch to the proper agonies of the damned, but Guts is on his way to rescue Casca and dish out some chastisement of his own on any who get in his way. But forces in the demonic realms are in motion and are being drawn to the torture tower in what may be a prelude to a second Eclipse and an unprecedented release of malign spirits into the world!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The bewildered and near-mad Casca, former captain of the Band of the Hawk — and former lover of Guts, the Black Swordsman — has been adopted by Midland’s pagan cults as a witch, due to her demonic Mark of Sacrifice. But the Holy Iron Chain Knights campaign to rid the kingdom of heretics by any means necessary puts Casca in mortal danger, and Guts is having none of it, But all parties involved may end up with more than they bargained for as demonic spirits, drawn to Casca’s brand, begin to possess the heretics and unleash the forces of hell. But hell hath no fury like the Black Swordsman!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Written in French and first performed at the Th��tre du Bablyone in Paris, in 1953, <i>En attendant Godot</i> was subsequently translated by Samuel Beckett into English as <i>Waiting for Godot</i>. It was performed at the Arts Theatre in London in 1955, and first published by Faber in 1956.<br /><br />To mark the centenary of Beckett's birth and the fiftieth anniversary of its original publication, Faber are now publishing for the first time a bilingual edition of this great masterpiece. Subtitled 'a tragicomedy in two acts', and once famously described by the Irish critic Vivian Mercier as a play in which 'nothing happens, twice'. <i>Waiting for Godot</i> is also a play that was written twice. Here, on facing pages, the reader can watch it unfold simultaneously in two languages.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Hell has broken loose in the kingdom of Midland. On the death of Midland's king comes invasion, demonic forces seem to be on the rise, underground pagan cults are running wild, and the church is busily rounding up and teaching heretics the errors of their ways. While, Guts is busy testing out his newly repaired sword on the invaders, his former captain and lover, Casca, her mind wrecked by her unholy tryst with the demon lord, has fallen in with a rough crowd who don't exactly wish her well. But she, like Guts, is marked with the Brand of Sacrifice, and her abusers may soon find themselves face-to-face with the unholy abominations that are inexorably drawn to the Brand!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Warrior supreme Guts, the Black Swordsman, has seen better days — and more popular — in the kingdom of Midland, a land he once defended as captain of the Band of the Hawk. But the Hawks were betrayed and slaughtered, and now the hyolier-than-thou Holy Iron Chain Knights have captured Guts and plan to whip some repentance into him — literally. But Guts isn’t so easily held at bay, at when he manages to escape with the Holy Knights’ leader, Farnese, as his hostage, the demons that are drawn to Guts’ Brand of Sacrifice are all too willing to show her the teeming darkness in her own soul!]]></book_description>

But now Guts must deal with the Queen of the Elves herself, and though she may be cute as a button, she has hideous power and lethal intent, and in her wake, no one lives happily ever after!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[From his days as a young mercenary to his time as captain of the Band of the Hawks’ Raiders, Guts’s life has been defined by his ability to fight and his will to win. Now cursed with the Brand of Sacrifice — a sigil that will forever mark him as prey for the damned — and with his companions dead, his lover’s mind destroyed and his one-time commander and friend reborn as a malevolent demon lord, it seems that more than ever Guts must rely upon his instinct to survive. But Hell has many faces, and when what appears to be an innocent country village proves to be a den of tragic secrets, the horror of a fairy tale perverted by pain and hate may prove to be more than Guts can handle!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The once unbeatable Band of the Hawk is smashed, and their former leader, Griffith, has made an unholy pact with the demon lords of the Godhand, sacrificing his former troops to resurrect his crippled body and ascend to stand in power beside these profane gods. The Invocation of Doom has unleashed a plague of unspeakable horrors upon the earth, and the first battle not only shatters the Hawks, but the hand of their champion, Guts, and the mind of their captain and Guts’ lover, Casca. And while time may heal some of Guts’ wounds, it will not heal his desire for vengeance. And his discovery of a gigantic, dragon-slaying sword might be just the ticket to deal out some king-sized payback!<br /><br />Also included in this "Berserk Prototype," the very first Berserk story, created during Kentaro Miura’s college days as his audition that sold the series!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The Band of the Hawk may have been the most formidable band of fighters around, but when matched up against an army of abyssal monstrosities, earthly fighting skills don’t amount to a hill of beans. The Hawks’ tortured and mutilated former leader, Griffith, has used the accursed Crimson Behelit to open the gates to a shadowy realm of unspeakable horrors, the realm of the demon lords of the Godhand, who are willing to transform Griffith into a being of terrible power and majesty as long as Griffith is willing to give up his former command as sacrifices in the Invocation of Doom. But nobody takes down the Hawks without a fight, and their berserker champion, Guts, will take on anything Hell can throw at him in order to save his lover, Casca, from the sordid violations that only Hell can offer.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The Band of the Hawks’ rescue of their leader, Griffith, has brought them no ease. Broken beyond healing, a frail ghost of his former glory, Griffith is now more an object of pity than a man, and the Hawks, who’ve grimly hung together under duress and death during his absence, are now on the verge of splintering to the winds. But Griffith’s dreams and ambitions, built on the bodies of his troops and the countless enemies they have slain, have not gone unnoticed in the spirit realm, and though Griffith has nowhere to go as a man, he may yet have a future . . . a future borne on jet-black wings in the company of the demon lords of the Godhand!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The Band of the Hawk — what's left of them — are on the run, Guts and Casca having rescued the Hawks' leader, Griffith, from the horrors of the King of Midland's dungeons. Starved, tortured mercilessly and imprisoned in an iron mask, Griffith hangs to life and sanity by a thread… and he'll be no help against the King's latest charges sent to bring him back to pay for his dalliance with the King's daughter. Now the depleted Hawks will have to face the Knights of the Black Dog, led by the merciless, bestial Wyald… one bad dog who's even worse when he unleashes the beast within!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Warrior supreme Guts has returned, and just in time to save the weakened Band of the Hawk from certain destruction… and to form an intimate bond with the beautiful warrior Casca. But job one is to find a way to free Griffith, the Hawks' leader, from the dank dungeons and round-the-clock tortures of the Hawks' former benefactor, the King of Midland. But while the flayed and starved Griffith may be in isolation, he is not alone. Horrors beyond imagination await Guts and the Hawks in the catacombs, and those who die may just be the lucky ones!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Griffith, charismatic leader of the elite mercenary Band of the Hawk, has seen better days. His fearless champion, Guts, has left the Band, defeating Griffith in personal combat as his ticket out. With his judgment clouded by this unthinkable humiliation, Griffith eases his pain in the arms of the daughter of Midland’s king. But the King doesn’t take kindly to an employee picking the royal flowers, and the next stop for Griffith is the dungeon and the torture rack! Without Griffith and Guts, the Hawks become easy prey for Midland’s army, and the AWOL Guts may be the only answer to the Hawks' — and Griffith’s — lethal problems.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The century-spanning war between Midland and Chuder continues unabated. The two warring kingdoms, vying for supremacy, launch headfirst into what will become the final battle. Leading the Midland forces are the Band of the Hawk, lead by the charismatic Griffith, with the fearless Guts as his trusted champion. But should the Hawks triumph again on the battlefield, the war with Chuder may end, but the secret war within Midland may begin as those who seek to rise within the court see the ambitious Griffith as an obstacle to obtaining power. And nothing is more formidable than an enemy unseen!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Two feudal kingdoms, Midland and Chuder, battle for supremacy in what will become the final clash in a century-long struggle. Spearheading the Midland forces is the Band of the Hawk, a legendary cadre of elite mercenaries led by the charismatic Griffith and with the fearless Guts as its berserker champion. The Hawks’ ferocity, courage, and fearsome skills – not to mention Guts’ enormous broadsword – are just what Midland needs to turn the bloody tide, but during the fray, Guts and Griffith’s most trusted lieutenant, Casca, fall together from a cliff into a raging river. Miraculously, both barely survive, and Guts tends to Casca’s wounds as she tells of having her life saved by Griffith, her induction into the Band of the Hawk, and her deep feelings toward Griffith. She even seems to finally be warming up to the grim Guts. But this greeting-card moment won’t last long, for Chuder warriors are on the prowl, and the only greetings they carry are on the points of their spears!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Back in the day, Guts the Black Swordsman was a top slayer for The Band of the Hawk, an elite mercenary unit led by Griffith, whose calm demeanor and callow beauty belied his fighting prowess and steel will. While in a king's employ, the attraction between the king's daughter and Griffith and the growing favor of the king towards the Hawk leader raises the hackles of the king's jealous brother, who plots to have Griffith summarily assassinated. But if the plot fails, the king's brother will likely have to deal with Guts and his titanic broadsword, and the results of such confrontations are rarely pretty... or easy to clean up.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[He is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a warrior of legendary prowess. Relentless, fearless, merciless. As cold and brutal as the iron of the massive sword he wields and bent on revenge against the unholy forces that have branded him for sacrifice, especially Griffith, one of the demon lords of the Godhand. But Griffith was once a man, once the leader of the Hawks, a renowned cadre of elite fighters with a young Guts as its fiercest champion. Though forged in a crucible of cruelty and violence, nothing could prepare Guts for a confrontation with Nosferatu Zodd, a superhuman beast who slaughters Guts' comrades as easily as a scythe cuts wheat. Even Guts and Griffith are no match for the abomination's power...but something Griffith wears around his neck may well be!<br /><br />Created by Kentaro Miura, <i>Berserk</i> is maniacal manga to the max—relentless, harrowing, and gruesomely funny—and the inspiration for the popular anime series. If you're looking for graphic fiction tied up with a pretty, pink bow, you'd better run for the hills—because Berserk will show you what you can do with that bow!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Now that the evil Count has been killed and dragged to Hell by the demon lords of the Godhand, Guts, the Black Swordsman, recalls his horrific upbringing and his brutal "benefactor," the mercenary Gambino, whose parenting skills leave much to be desired. His bleak childhood spent wandering from battlefield to battlefield, Guts' growing skills as a slayer catch the eye of many, including the legendary Griffith, warrior leader of the Band of the Hawk, who is eager to test the fighting prowess of the young swordsman. As usual, any time that Guts is involved, there'll be Hell to pay!<br /><br />Created by Kentarou Miura and the inspiration for the wildly popular anime series, <i>Berserk</i> is an unholy hurricane of blood, carnage, and horror! Brutal, crude, and darkly funny, <i>Berserk</i> is not exactly for the theater crowd...unless the theater features pit fights!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Guts, the feared Black Swordsman, finishes his desperate battle with the monstrous Count, cutting and blasting the hideous abomination to gory scraps. But Guts won't even have time to clean his gigantic sword when the Count's agonized pleas activate the mystical talisman Behelit, summoning the Godhand, five demon lords of immeasurable power. Guts' journey so far has been a long road of pain and death, but that's a walk in the park compared to fighting his way out of hell itself! And for their help, the Godhand have a price to extact from the Count, a price too dear for even such a heartless monster to consider!<br /><br />Created by Kenturo Miura, <i>Berserk</i> is exactly what its title advertises; a savage, gruesome, and often humorous roller-coaster ride, inspiring the internationally popular anime series. If you're looking for graphic fiction to take home to Grandma, this ain't it—unless Granny smokes cigars and rides a Harley!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The evil Count uses his dark powers to transform a defeated guard captain into an inhuman horror to combat Guts, the Black Swordsman. Meanwhile, Guts' pint-sized elf sidekick, Puck, is captured and given as a gift to the Count's daughter, a sweet girl in a gilded cage, imprisoned by her father in her own room. Guts, determined to make mincemeat of the Count—and maybe bail out his companion, if he gets around to it—assaults the castle and takes on the nearly indestructible demon/guard in a blood-soaked battle royal! But then, face-to-face with the Black Swordsman at last, the unholy Count reveals his own true form, and even Guts' super-sized sword may not be big enough to contend with this demonic monstrosity!<br /><br />Created by Kentaro Miura, <i>Berserk</i> is meat-grinder manga at its most extreme—gruesome, violent, and darkly funny—and the inspiration for the wildly popular anime series. Look elsewhere if you're craving sweetness, subtlety, and good manners. <i>Berserk</i> is the bull in the graphic novel china shop—and who wouldn't watch a bull getting medieval on the dishes!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[His name is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a feared warrior spoken of only in whispers. Bearer of a gigantic sword, an iron hand, and the scars of countless battles and tortures, his flesh is also indelibly marked with The Brand, an unholy symbol that draws the forces of darkness to him and dooms him as their sacrifice. But Guts won't take his fate lying down; he'll cut a crimson swath of carnage through the ranks of the damned—and anyone else foolish enough to oppose him! Accompanied by Puck the Elf, more an annoyance than a companion, Guts relentlessly follows a dark, bloodstained path that leads only to death...or vengeance.<br /><br />Created by Kentaro Miura, <i>Berserk</i> is manga mayhem to the extreme—violent, horrifying, and mercilessly funny—and the wellspring for the internationally popular anime series. Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, Berserk asks for no quarter—and offers none!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Neste, que é um dos maiores clássicos de Gabriel García Márquez, o prestigiado autor narra a incrível e triste história dos Buendía – a estirpe de solitários para a qual não será dada “uma segunda oportunidade sobre a terra” e apresenta o maravilhoso universo da fictícia Macondo, onde se passa o romance. É lá que acompanhamos diversas gerações dessa família, assim como a ascensão e a queda do vilarejo. Para além dos artifícios técnicos e das influências literárias que transbordam do livro, ainda vemos em suas páginas o que por muitos é considerado uma autêntica enciclopédia do imaginário, num estilo que consagrou o colombiano como um dos maiores autores do século XX.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Romance original, desprovido das características próprias do gênero, A paixão segundo G.H. conta, através de um enredo banal, o pensar e o sentir de G.H., a protagonista-narradora que despede a empregada doméstica e decide fazer uma limpeza geral no quarto de serviço, que ela supõe imundo e repleto de inutilidades. Após recuperar-se da frustração de ter encontrado um quarto limpo e arrumado, G.H. depara-se com uma barata na porta do armário. Depois do susto, ela esmaga o inseto e decide provar seu interior branco, processando-se, então, uma revelação. G.H. sai de sua rotina civilizada e lança-se para fora do humano, reconstruindo-se a partir desse episódio. A protagonista vê sua condição de dona de casa e mãe como uma selvagem. Clarice escreve: “Provação significa que a vida está me provando. Mas provação significa também que estou provando. E provar pode se transformar numa sede cada vez mais insaciável.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[É perto da meia-noite quando a neve acumulada sobre os trilhos interrompe a jornada do Expresso Oriente, o mais famoso e luxuoso trem de passageiros do mundo, que liga a Ásia à Europa.<br />A bordo, milionários, aristocratas, empregados – e um assassino. Porém, no mesmo vagão encontra-se ninguém menos que Hercule Poirot. Caberá ao meticuloso detetive investigar todos os passageiros e descobrir a identidade do ousado criminoso. Christie propõe um fascinante enredo nos moldes do clássico subgênero do “locked room” (“mistério do quarto fechado”), em que o crime ocorre num local isolado, e a suspeita recai sobre todos os presentes. Publicado em 1934, o romance foi levado com estrondoso sucesso ao cinema pelo diretor Sidney Lumet em 1974, com Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, Jacqueline Bisset e Ingrid Bergman no elenco – até hoje uma das mais aclamadas adaptações jamais feitas de um clássico da literatura de mistério.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Desde o seu lançamento, em 1937, <i>Capitães da areia</i> causou escândalo: inúmeros exemplares do livro foram queimados em praça pública, por determinação do Estado Novo. Ao longo de sete décadas a narrativa não perdeu viço nem atualidade, pelo contrário: a vida urbana dos meninos pobres e infratores ganhou contornos trágicos e urgentes.<br /><br />Várias gerações de brasileiros sofreram o impacto e a sedução desses meninos que moram num trapiche abandonado no areal do cais de Salvador, vivendo à margem das convenções sociais. Verdadeiro romance de formação, o livro nos torna íntimos de suas pequenas criaturas, cada uma delas com suas carências e suas ambições: do líder Pedro Bala ao religioso Pirulito, do ressentido e cruel Sem-Pernas ao aprendiz de cafetão Gato, do sensato Professor ao rústico sertanejo Volta Seca. Com a força envolvente da sua prosa, Jorge Amado nos aproxima desses garotos e nos contagia com seu intenso desejo de liberdade.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[H. P. Lovecraft é considerado um mestre do terror e suas histórias conduzem os leitores por ambientes macabros e impregnados de perversidade. Com enredos muitas vezes inspirados por seus constantes pesadelos, a obra de Lovecraft é marcada pelo simbolismo e encerra a visão de que o universo é sem sentido e indiferente ao sofrimento humano e de que o homem é insignificante diante do poder do imenso e desconhecido universo cósmico. <br /><br />Lovecraft influenciou grandes nomes da literatura fantástica e de horror como Stephen King, Bentley Little e Joe R. Lansdale, e inspirou muitos filmes, revistas de HQ, músicas e jogos.<br /><br />Nesta coleção, reunimos contos para colecionadores e amantes do gênero. E para quem ainda não está familiarizado com o estilo, a compilação traz desde histórias do início da produção literária de Lovecraft até suas obras mais recentes.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Um dos maiores clássicos da literatura de aventura, A ilha do tesouro conta a história do garoto Jim<br />Hawkins, que conhece no albergue dos pais o marujo Billy Bones, um velho lobo do mar. Do encontro inusitado resulta uma expedição cheia de riscos e desafios rumo a uma ilha que, segundo o marinheiro, esconde um tesouro de valor incalculável. Durante a empreitada, Jim divide sua embarcação com aliados e com homens de índole duvidosa que podem não só colocar em risco a expedição do garoto, como acabar com a sua vida. Publicado em 1883, o romance de Robert Louis Stevenson encanta leitores até hoje.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Versão contendo índice ativo e breve biografia do autor.<br /><br />O Índice Ativo no e-reader Kindle pode ser acessado clicando em "Ir Para" e nos aplicativos do Kindle de tablet e smartphones clicando em "Sumário" nas opções do livro.<br /><br />Esta obra respeita as regras do Novo Acordo Ortográfico. <br /><br />O Livro do Desassossego de Fernando Pessoa, assinado pelo seu heterônimo Bernardo Soares, é sua obra mais importante e mais profunda, sendo também a que mais reflete a complexidade da sua mente. É a obra do autor que mais se aproxima do gênero do romance, assemelhando-se a um diário íntimo ficcional, escrito por Bernardo Soares, um ajudante de guarda-livros, redigido a partir de um escritório da Baixa de Lisboa, num 4.º andar da Rua dos Douradores, no qual expõe as suas vivências, interrogações e reflexões. <br /><br />Como é escrito sob a forma de diário sem datas, o Livro do Desassossego é uma obra fragmentária, sempre em estudo por parte dos analistas pessoanos, tendo estes interpretações díspares sobre o modo como organizar o livro. Esta versão respeita a original encontrando-se divida em duas partes: o Diário de Bernardo Soares na primeira e Textos refletivos de Fernando Pessoa na segunda.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Lively reminiscences of bandit warfare in the sertao, the still primitive Brazilian back country, told by a wise, retired outlaw chief. ~Worldcat.org<br /><br />Grande Sertã Veredas (Portuguese for "Great Tracks"; English The Devil to Pay in the Backlands) is a novel published in 1956 by the Brazilian writer João Guimarães Rosa.<br /><br />The original title refers to the veredas - small paths through wetlands usually located at higher altitudes characterized by the presence of grasses and buritizais, groups of the buriti palm-tree (Mauritia flexuosa), that criss-cross the Sertão region in northern Minas Gerais, Southeast Brazil - as a labyrinthine net where an outsider can easily get lost, and where there is no single way to a certain place, since all paths interconnect in such a way that any road can lead anywhere. The English title refers to a later episode in the book involving an attempt to make a deal with the Devil. Most of the book's spirit is however lost in translation, as the Portuguese original is written in a register that is both archaic and colloquial, making it a very difficult book to translate. The combination of its size, linguistic oddness and polemic themes caused a shock when it was published, but now it is considered one of the most important novels of South American literature.<br />In a 2002 poll of 100 noted writers conducted by Norwegian Book Clubs, the book was named among the top 100 books of all time.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Osamu Dazai's 1939 novella depicts a day in the life of a Tokyo schoolgirl. Propelling Dazai into the literary elite of post-war Japan, <i>Schoolgirl</i> gained notoriety for its ironic and inventive use of language. Now it illuminates the prevalent social structures of a lost time, as well as the struggle of the individual against "them" -- a theme that occupied Dazai's life both personally and professionally. This new translation preserves the playful language of the original and offers the reader a new window into the mind of one of the greatest Japanese authors of the 20th century.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Kafka começou a escrever O Castelo na noite de 22 de Janeiro de 1922, dia em que chegou à montanha de Spindlemühle, na actual República Checa. Morreu antes de terminar a obra que foi publicada em 1926 pelo seu amigo Max Brod, que felizmente não cumpriu o pedido de Kafka para destruir todos os seus manuscritos. Este último romance de Kafka narra a história de um homem e da sua ineficaz luta contra uma autoridade, misteriosa e impenetrável. É ela quem dirige o castelo que governa a aldeia onde K. chegou para trabalhar como agrimensor. Apesar de Kafka considerar O Castelo como um falhanço, a crítica reconheceu-o como o seu principal romance e um dos maiores de todo o século XX.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Alternate cover edition of ISBN <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58461500-one-flew-over-the-cuckoo-s-nest" rel="nofollow noopener">9780451163967</a><br /><br />Tyrannical Nurse Ratched rules her ward in an Oregon State mental hospital with a strict and unbending routine, unopposed by her patients, who remain cowed by mind-numbing medication and the threat of electric shock therapy. But her regime is disrupted by the arrival of McMurphy – the swaggering, fun-loving trickster with a devilish grin who resolves to oppose her rules on behalf of his fellow inmates. His struggle is seen through the eyes of Chief Bromden, a seemingly mute half-Indian patient who understands McMurphy's heroic attempt to do battle with the powers that keep them imprisoned. Ken Kesey's extraordinary first novel is an exuberant, ribald and devastatingly honest portrayal of the boundaries between sanity and madness.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[José Costa é um escritor anónimo pago para produzir artigos de jornal, discursos políticos, catas de amor, monografias e autobiografias romanceadas que outros assinam. Um dia, regressando de um congresso de escritores anónimos em Istambul, é obrigado a fazer uma escala forçada em Budapeste. Fascinado pela língua magiar, «segundo as más-línguas, a única língua que o Diabo respeita», José Costa retorna à capital húngara, passando a ser Zsoze Costa, e tornando-se amante de Kriska, a sua professora. A obsessão de dominar completamente o novo idioma leva-o a viver num tresloucado vaivém entre o Rio de Janeiro, onde vive com a sua mulher Vanda, e Budapeste, onde passa a viver com Kriska. Budapeste é a história de um escritor dividido entre duas cidades, duas mulheres, dois livros e duas línguas, uma intrigante e por vezes divertida especulação sobre identidade e autoria.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Count and explore the zany world and words of Seuss in this classic picture book.<br /> <br />From counting to opposites to Dr. Seuss's signature silly rhymes, this book has everything a beginning reader needs! Meet the bumpy Wump and the singing Ying, and even the winking Yink who drinks pink ink. The silly rhymes and colorful cast of characters will have every child giggling from morning to night.<br /> <br />From near to far<br />from here to there,<br />funny things are everywhere.<br /> <br />Originally created by Dr. Seuss himself, Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read. These unjacketed hardcover early readers encourage children to read all on their own, using simple words and illustrations. Smaller than the classic large format Seuss picture books like The Lorax and Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, these portable packages are perfect for practicing readers ages 3-7, and lucky parents too!]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Celebrate nature with Dr. Seuss and the Lorax in this classic picture book about sustainability and protecting the environment!<br /> </b><br /><i> I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. </i><br /><br />Dr. Seuss's beloved story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness and stand up and speak up for others. Experience the beauty of the Truffula Trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted in a story that is timely, playful, and hopeful. The book's final pages teach us that just one small seed, or one small child, can make a difference.<br /><br />Printed on recycled paper, this book is the perfect gift for Earth Day and for any child--or child at heart--who is interested in recycling, advocacy, and the environment, or just loves nature and playing outside.<br /><br /><i> Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.</i><br /><br />"Pretty much all the stuff you need to know is in Dr. Seuss." -President Barack Obama]]></book_description>

This tale of compassion and determination proves that any person, big or small, can choose to speak out for what is right.<br /><br />This story showcases the very best of Dr. Seuss, from the moving message to the charming rhymes and imaginative illustrations. No bookshelf is complete without Horton and the <i>Whos!</i><br /><br /><i>Do you see what I mean? . . . They've proved they ARE persons, no matter how small. And their whole world was saved by the Smallest of All!</i>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A Weak Heart (1848) by Dostoevsky, is a testament to the author's brilliant sense of style and subtle treatment of the psychology of his characters. The narrative revolves around the life of a young clerk, just engaged and facing severe inner turmoil. As his vision of universal happiness collides with has his individual pleasure, he discovers that he cannot relish personal joys of marriage to a beautiful and young girl.

    <book_description><![CDATA[Ansiosos, transgressivos, um pouco mais loucos do que a média, deliciosamente bizarros. São assim os personagens deste livro, mentes embaraçadas e inquietas, dependentes assumidos de algum remédio tarja preta sem o qual fica muito difícil acordar,dormir, ou qualquer variação possível do viver, dentro do espaço de um dia, ou de uma noite. Nesta antologia de contos, encontramos histórias contemporâneas, tragicômicas, surreais, em que o tarja preta se entrega à dependência sem pudor. Na verdade, ele se orgulha do vício, mergulha destemido em ondas químicas e assim, vertiginosamente, inventa seus paraísos artificiais.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Marco do romance moderno brasileiro, <i>Angústia</i> é a expressão máxima do embate, entre a subjetividade do escritor e a realidade objetiva é sempre opressora, que se revela na figura de um pequeno funcionário e sua consciência de condenado à mediocridade.<br />Escrito em ambiente de desassossego e intrigas, em plena repressão do governo Getúlio Vargas,  <i>Angústia</i>  reflete o desconforto do autor com a situação de insegurança em que vivia.  <i>
  <em>"Falta-me tranqulidade, falta-me inocência, estou feito um molambo que a cidade puiu </em>
</i><em>dem</em><i>
  <em>ais e sujou</em>
</i> <i>"</i>, pensa o narrador. Graciliano foi levado preso pouco depois de revisar as últimas páginas do livro.]]></book_description>

Este livro foi escrito quando Hesse tinha 50 anos, como seu personagem, e estava influenciado pela psicanálise.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[É uma parábola que revela verdades profundas sobre mudança. Dois ratinhos e dois homenzinhos vivem em um labirinto em busca de queijo - uma metáfora para o que se deseja ter na vida, de um bom emprego à paz espiritual. Um deles é bem-sucedido e escreve o que aprendeu com sua experiência nos muros do labirinto. As palavras rabiscadas nas paredes ensinam a lidar com a mudança para viver com menos estresse e alcançar mais sucesso no trabalho e na vida pessoal. "Quem mexeu no meu queijo?" é uma leitura rápida, mas suas ideias permanecerão por toda a vida.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A young family moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.<br /><br />Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story—of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Considerada uma das obras clássicas da filosofia alemã, esta obra apresenta uma série de reflexões sobre a existência, propondo uma nova forma de se pensar a dor e a felicidade. Temas como o amor, a morte, a arte, a moral, a religião, a política, o homem e a sociedade ilustram a teoria exposta por Schopenhauer. Indicada para todos os estudiosos e pensadores da conduta humana, quer ligados às áreas da própria filosofia, da sociologia, da religião, como para profissionais de toda e qualquer área em que se faça necessário o entendimento dos meandros que constituem a base do comportamento humano. O filósofo traz reflexões sobre a existência, cuja finalidade, segundo ele, seria a própria dor, constituindo-se o mundo num lugar de expiação. Para Schopenhauer, faz-se necessário refutar as premissas estabelecidas pelos sistemas metafísicos que entendem o mal como algo negativo. Pois, do seu ponto de vista, ao contrário do bem, o mal é que deve ser considerado positivo, uma vez que somente ele se faz, de fato, sentir. O autor tece aqui suas considerações fundamentando-se na teoria de que "O bem, a felicidade, a satisfação são negativos porque não fazem senão suprimir um desejo e terminar um desgosto (…), em geral, achamos as alegrias abaixo da nossa expectativa, ao passo que as dores a excedem sobremaneira".]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[White Nights is a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky that was published in 1848. Set in St. Petersburg, it is the story of a young man fighting his inner restlessness. A light and tender narrative, it delves into the torment and guilt of unrequited love. Both protagonists suffer from a deep sense of alienation that initially brings them together. A blend of romanticism and realism, the story appeals gently to the senses and feelings.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Now an animated series from Paramount + &amp; Nickelodeon! For fans of Jeff Kinney and Raina Telgemeier, here comes the second novel in the New York Times bestselling Big Nate series.  BIG NATE will surpass all others! But it won’t be easy. He’s stuck with Gina, his all-time enemy, in a class project for his least favorite teacher Mrs. Godfrey, aka Godzilla. To make matters worse, Gina ALSO ends up on his fleeceball team, right when Nate is set to win his first fleeceball championship ever. This is his moment for glory, but Gina's sure to steal his thunder, or ruin everything.  Will Nate win or lose? Pass or fail? Or end up in detention . . . AGAIN? Meet BIG NATE, self-described genius and definitely NOT the teacher’s pet in this comic-strip novel perfect for anyone who's ever been to middle school. " Big Nate is funny, big time" —Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival.<br /><br />In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.]]></book_description>
