    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>"The image of Pandora's Box being opened by my own hand flashed across my mind. A sobering and somewhat disappointing realisation when one understands they are their own worst enemy."</b> <br /><br />The Year is 1884 and Emma M. Lion has, at long last, gained her majority. Entering a golden age of friendship with Pierce, Islington, and Hawkes, Emma is confident she will manage whatever comes her way. It is The Season she must help Arabella secure a husband, while navigating the threat of Aunt Eugenia, the unflagging adoration of Charles Goddard, and the amusing unpredictability of St. Crispian's. But the secrets of her trusted friends are what might very well bring about disaster. <br /><br />Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In Banyuls-sur-Mer, French Catalonia, the Villa Wintrebert turns its back on passers-by and looks instead down the length of its enormously long, tropical garden. Renamed after the pioneering naturalist Paul Wintrebert, who once lived there with his wife, the villa was also aptly known as ‘Loin des Yeux’ (Out of Sight). In her speculative history of the place, its inhabitants and visitors, Penelope Curtis imagines the relationships of tenderness and passion across three generations of women, witnessed at a distance by two little girls. Harmony is disrupted when a well-intentioned commission to the renowned local sculptor, Aristide Maillol, shines a light on the fundamental fragility of the women’s relationship. Villa Wintrebert is a story of childhood, of adult complicity, and of the unfinished sculpture which fractures the female friendship on which the villa and its garden had depended.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Numa colónia penal esquecida pelo mundo - ou abandonada por ele -, a sobrevivência faz-se de medo, silêncio e obediência. Valdênio, velho e cansado, já não espera nada de ninguém. Bronco Gil, caçador e assassino, ainda acredita numa saída. Mas a colónia transformou-se num campo de extermínio: Melquíades, a autoridade máxima, caça os presos como se fossem animais, aniquilando-os por puro prazer.<br /><br />Haverá escapatória para quem foi deixado para trás?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b><i>I took </i>Treasure Island<i> to church with me as a talisman.<br />“What a lovely bible,” Mrs. Tribly said.<br />“Isn’t it just?” I replied, hoping she would not ask me to read a favorite verse aloud.<br />I do not believe the psalmist wrote,</i><br />Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest,<br />Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.</b><br /><br />The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s.<br /><br />Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be, which comprise a series of volumes. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[From the author of the international bestseller <em>Life of Pi</em>, a brilliant retelling of the Trojan War from the perspective of two commoners: an ancient soldier and a modern scholar.<br /><br /><em>The Psoad</em> is an Ancient Greek epic in free verse that follows a goatherd’s son, Psoas of Midea, who leaves his wife and family to fight with the Greeks at Troy. This commoner’s story was lost to time—until Harlow Donne, a Canadian academic who has left his own wife and daughter behind to study at Oxford, discovers its relics nearly thirty centuries later.<br /><br />As sole translator and interpreter of The Psoad, Harlow dedicates the poem and its footnotes to his daughter, Helen. Under his gaze, a personal message to his beloved child appears in the ancient text, like a palimpsest. Despite the thousands of years and hundreds of miles that separate Psoas and Harlow, a thread hasn’t frayed: the universal song of homesickness and regret, of love, ambition, and grief.<br /><br /><em>Son of Nobody</em> takes readers from the plains of Troy to the halls of Oxford, from the classical to the contemporary, from ancient verses to modern footnotes. It is a dazzling, masterful feat of myth, history, and domesticity that explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them, and how we live—then, now, always.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[«Fui condenado a ouvir o eco permanente de um disparo que não pintei.»<br /><br />«Viver uma guerra à distância é como olhar para este quadro. É estar lá sem estar dentro, é estar de fora sem estar cá fora. Vivo à distância. A guerra à distância. O horror à distância. A morte à distância. O medo à distância. O desastre à distância. É tudo uma mera notícia.» Hoje, 3 de Maio é um romance escrito a partir do quadro Fuzilamentos de 3 de Maio de 1808, de Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes. Um retrato de quem fuzila e de quem é fuzilado numa Europa que permanece, até hoje, presa num tempo de guerra.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Voyages across the sea, man-eating monsters, witches, gods, and goddesses: The Odyssey is the ultimate adventure story.<br /><br />Take a journey across the sea and follow the heroic, catastrophic, and sometimes downright gruesome tales of the Greek king Odysseus in this modern retelling of Homer’s The Odyssey. A story of trickery, lies, and perseverance, watch as Odysseus is tested to the limits by the Cyclops; sirens; and lots of meddling, angry gods.<br /><br />Written by self-proclaimed Greek myth nerd, and host of the Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! podcast, Liv Albert brings this ancient Greek Epic to life. Liv’s version of The Odyssey portrays Odysseus as he really was: a complex man who did many great things … and just as many bad. Littered with historical facts, maps, and family trees, Liv brings all of her knowledge and expertise to this future classic, making it the only version of The Odyssey you’ll ever want to read.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A cursed father, a gifted daughter<br /><br />Mestra, daughter of the King of Thessaly, is gifted a unique ability by Poseidon: metamorphosis into any being she can imagine.<br /><br />Her father, on the other hand, is cursed. As punishment for disrespecting the goddess Demeter, he is in possession of an unnatural, insatiable hunger.<br /><br />Devoted Mestra suggests using her new gift to help her father. But if his hunger is bottomless, how much will he take from her? Soon she must decide: will she keep helping her father survive, or finally break free?<br /><br />A jewel-like tale of human fallibility, Mestra confirms Madeline Miller as our high priestess of mythology.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<strong>An extraordinary and beautiful novel about how understanding our past can pave the way for a hopeful future.</strong><br /><br /><strong>Hyderabad, 1946</strong><br /><br />Ashraf is asleep in her mother’s bed when her father is murdered on the eve of Partition. She may as well have lost her mother that day too, and her fight to connect with her mother will follow her to America, seeping into who she is as a daughter, a lover, a mother, a wife, and be felt through the next generation of women.<br /><br /><strong>California, 2002</strong><br /><br />Seher is sixteen years old when she first sees her grandmother’s ghost. Feeling lost and abandoned by her own mother, Seher clings to Ashraf’s ghost, and it becomes the guiding presence she has always craved. But as Seher starts to move forward with her life, it becomes clear that Ashraf’s support comes at a cost.<br /><br /><strong>Elegantly woven and beautifully crafted, <em>The Strangling Fig</em> weaves together the lives and histories of women who are bound by blood and spirit. With a lyrical narrative that dances between memory and reality, it explores the delicate balance between love and loss, inviting readers to reflect on the legacies we inherit and the ghosts that shape our identities.</strong><br /><br />****]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[For over 10,000 years, the human race has been busy altering our environment and embracing 'progress', evolving seamlessly from hunter gatherers to the modern urban sophisticates we see ourselves as today. <br /><br /> But what are the ideas and inventions that enabled humanity to become, by the early 21st century, a majority urban species for the first time? How did the essential infrastructure of modern life - the innovations that we barely even notice, but without which our world would fall apart - happen?<br /><br /> With his characteristic wit and boundless curiosity, Jonn Elledge invites us to join him on a fascinating and often surprising tour of the ideas and technologies that made modernity possible. From elevators to electric lighting, street numbering to sewers, he guides us through the history of civilisation itself.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>"It has been a day ordained by the fates, for how else could one explain the wholly cursed chain of events?" </b><br /><br />The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London Neighbourhood of St. Crispian's. But Emma's plan for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian's. <br /><br />Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be, which comprise a series of volumes. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026</i><br /><br /><strong>A captivating, polyphonic novel of one family’s flight from and return to Iran.</strong><br /><br />1979. Behsad, a young communist revolutionary, fights with his friends for a new order after the Shah’s expulsion. He tells of sparking hope, of clandestine political actions, and of how he finds the love of his life in the courageous, intelligent Nahid.<br /><br />1989. Nahid lives her new life in West Germany with Behsad. With their young children, they spend hour after hour in front of the radio, hoping for news from others who went into hiding after the mullahs came to power.<br /><br />1999. Laleh returns to Iran with her mother, Nahid. Between beauty rituals and family secrets, she gets to know a Tehran that hardly matches her childhood memories.<br /><br />2009. Laleh’s brother Mo is more concerned with a friend’s heartbreak than with student demonstrations in Germany. But then the Green Revolution breaks out in Iran and turns the world upside down …<br /><br />A topical, moving novel about revolution, oppression, resistance, and the absolute desire for freedom.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In an alternate past—or possible future—a mighty tree stands on the banks of a winding river, bearing silent witness to the flow of time and change. A family farms the fertile valley. Soon, a village sprouts, and not long after, a town. Residents learn to harness the water, the wind, and the animals in order to survive and thrive. The growing population becomes ever more industrious and clever, bending nature itself to their will and their ambition: redirecting rivers, harvesting lumber, reshaping the land, even extending daylight itself. . . .]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[“I was sitting at my desk reading, with a cup of tea, my windows flung open, when I heard The Tenant enter his garret, just on the other side of the wall from myself.” <br /> <br />The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s. <br /> <br />Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be, which comprise a series of novella-length volumes. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House. <br />]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Rachel Gillig, the queen of gothic romantasy, returns with higher stakes, darker mysteries, and deeper longings in this gorgeous sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling sensation </b><i>
  <b>The Knight and the Moth.</b>
</i><br /><br /> Aisling Cathedral is in ruins. Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew, and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead—and the king has taken Sybil Delling as his bride. To show off their union and solidify his power over Traum, Benji proposes a series of tournaments throughout the hamlets. Captive and drugged, Sybil remains determined to vanquished him as she once did the Omens, even if she destroys the kingdom’s faith—and herself—in the process.<br /><br />But then a mysterious knave rises to the top of the lists, a man with no name and no memory who may just be Sybil’s ticket to undoing Benji’s power. For in a land where stories repeat themselves, where a king can prove as cruel as a god, the only way to truly destroy the Stonewater Kingdom’s faith is to save it.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b><i>John Wick</i> meets <i>Blade Runner</i> in this fast-paced cyberpunk thriller by the #1 NYT bestselling author of <i>The Will of the Many</i>.</b><br /><br />My job, when you think about it, isn’t so different from a lot of people’s. I have to deal with a ton of boring planning. Inconvenient hours. Some pretty awkward face-to-face interactions. And like most of us, I’m really only clocking in to try and crawl out from beneath my debts.<br /><br />The more old-fashioned crowd do still get hung up on the ‘killing people’ part, I guess, but that’s a them problem: it’s been perfectly legal to take out lifers for ages. Besides, once ultrawealthy morons realised they had a way to live forever—limited resources be damned—there was only ever going to be one genuinely practical deterrent. So someone’s got to do it. <br /><br />And luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, <i>really</i> good at it.<br /><br />Still. This next job… I don’t know. It’s something I haven’t had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way.<br /><br />I’m sure it’ll all go totally fine though.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>“I’ve arrived in London without incident. There are few triumphs in my recent life, but I count this as one. My existence of the last three years has been nothing but incident.”</b><br /><br />The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s. Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House. <br /><br />Readers have compared <i>The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion</i> to Jane Austen, P. G. Wodehouse, L. M. Montgomery, and Jean Webster.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[High in the Accursed Mountains, in a village ruled by the ancient laws of the Kanun, Bekja escapes an arranged marriage by becoming a sworn virgin, renouncing her womanhood to live as a man. Her decision sets off a brutal chain of events, destroying her family and separating her from the one she loves the most. Years later, as Bekija - now Matija - tells their story to a visiting journalist, long-buried truths come to light, along with the realisation of all that might have been.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[It’s off to the races in the explosive eighth book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.<br /><br />As chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where they’re forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Well, normal for the dungeon.<br /><br />Races. Get from point A to point B, and don’t come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a little too normal, a little too simple.<br /><br />Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Don’t listen to those whispers about what’s happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. Nobody, not even the showrunners, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it “a coming-out party for the ages.”<br /><br />Everything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine.<br /><br />Carl hates that it’s business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do.<br /><br />So Carl is planning a party of his own. It’s a plan so dangerous, so insane, he can’t even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong, it’s not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>The time has come! Book seven in the bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series is here!<br /><br />They call it Faction Wars.</b><br /><br />The ninth floor.<br /><br />Nine armies, each led by rich and powerful aliens from across the galaxy. Each team has one objective: to capture and hold the castle at the very center of the battlefield. Strategy, alliances, pitched battles, and, of course, betrayal... It all makes for great fun and even greater television.<br /><br />After all, none of these powerful aliens really die when they’re playing war.<br /><br />Except this time. This time, winner takes all. Those who fall, stay in the ground.<br /><br />As the AI continues its rapid decline, Carl and company take advantage of the chaos. For the first time ever, the crawlers are fighting back. They are now one of the nine teams. And this season, there’s a tenth army on the playing field. The NPCs, who are normally used as nothing but cannon fodder, have become fully self-aware and formed a team of their own.<br /><br />For Donut and Katia, the stakes are even higher. Only one of them will be allowed to leave this level.<br /><br />If they all want to survive, they’re going to need a little help from a veteran or two.<br /><br />This is it.<br />This is what they’ve been fighting toward.<br /><b>This is war.</b><br /><br /><i>This inevitable ruin.</i>]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.<br /><br /><b>It is bedlam on the eighth floor.</b><br />As management reels from the unexpected conclusion of the seventh level, the surviving crawlers stumble onto the eighth and find themselves scattered. It’s a map based on Earth’s final days before the collapse, where ethereal, intangible ghosts of humanity go about their lives, oblivious of the impending doom. Living amongst these ghosts are monsters based in Earth lore. “Legendary” creatures tied to the geographical location they inhabit.<br /><br />Each team of crawlers is given a task: find and capture six of these beasts. The captured monsters will be turned into cards. Cards that can be summoned into battle again and again. The stronger, the deadlier, the better.<br /><br />At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, and they will have some of the most powerful cards available. So it’s crucial to assemble the toughest squad possible.<br /><br />But, like always, there is a catch. There’s always a catch.<br /><br />As Carl and Donut know all too well, just because someone is captured, it doesn’t mean they have been tamed.<br /><br />Her name is Shi Maria. She’s easily the most powerful monster in their area. If they want to survive, they must capture her. But she is no ordinary beast. She’s intelligent. She was once married to a god, a god who is now missing. Her special attack is known to drive one insane. They call her the Bedlam Bride.<br /><br />“Beware, beware. Beware the Eye of the Bedlam Bride”]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[«[Em <i>Como Caminhar num Pântano</i>, o novo romance de Marta Pais Oliveira] destaca-se a originalidade da voz autoral, que faz um ziguezaguear permanente entre a primeira e a terceira pessoas narrativas. Uma prosa límpida e poética, crítica e cheia de sentido de humor, que conta a singular história de uma mulher que, nas horas vagas, se dedica ao roubo das malas de mão (...).»<br />Júri do Prémio Literário Maria Amália Vaz de Carvalho<br /><br />«Liberdade pode ser isto - nenhum peso nas mãos.» Entre o gesto transgressor e a escrita, aqui constrói-se um retrato íntimo e vívido de quem observa o mundo enquanto o corpo dá repetidos sinais de quebra. Uma personagem consciente da proximidade da morte, mas ferozmente avessa à piedade alheia, que inventa para si um modo singular de estar no tempo - cria legendagens para filmes, imagina diálogos, altera sentidos, como se a linguagem ainda pudesse suspender o fim que se avizinha. A culpa é um bicho de muitas cabeças: culpa de quê?<br /><br />Na cidade, a narradora de duas vozes cruza-se com figuras laterais e intensas: uma jovem grávida, um amigo esotérico, a dona de uma papelaria. Cada testemunho de encontro revela um fragmento de um espaço urbano entendido como um coro de desajustados, onde todos travam as suas batalhas invisíveis.<br /><br />Entre lucidez, ironia e ternura áspera, esta história é uma meditação sobre liberdade, perda e resistência, onde a escrita se afirma como um último ato de insubmissão.]]></book_description>

    <user_review><![CDATA[«Ai, Marta. Descobri a Marta Pais Oliveira o ano passado quando li o Faina para o clube de leitura Livrólicos Anónimos. Soube logo ali que tinha encontrado uma voz muito especial. A Marta é uma escritora brilhante. BRILHANTE. Faina é um livro mesmo muito bom, de uma qualidade literária inegável.

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>
  <b>A stunning, lyrical novel set in the rolling foothills of the Appalachians in which a young girl discovers stark truths that will haunt her for the rest of her life.</b>
</b><br /><br />"A girl comes of age against the knife."<br /><br />So begins the story of Betty Carpenter. Born in a bathtub in 1954 to a Cherokee father and white mother, Betty is the sixth of eight siblings. The world they inhabit is one of poverty and violence--both from outside the family, and also, devastatingly, from within. The lush landscape, rich with birdsong, wild fruit, and blazing stars, becomes a kind of refuge for Betty, but when her family's darkest secrets are brought to light, she has no choice but to reckon with the brutal history hiding in the hills, as well as the heart-wrenching cruelties and incredible characters she encounters in her rural town of Breathed, Ohio.<br /><br />But despite the hardship she faces, Betty is resilient. Her curiosity about the natural world, her fierce love for her sisters, and her father's brilliant stories are kindling for the fire of her own imagination, and in the face of all she bears witness to, Betty discovers an escape: she begins to write. She recounts the horrors of her family's past and present with pen and paper and buries them deep in the dirt--moments that has stung her so deeply, she could not tell them, until now.<br /><br />Inspired by the life of her own mother, Tiffany McDaniel sets out to free the past by telling this heartbreaking yet magical story--a remarkable novel that establishes her as one of the freshest and most important voices in American fiction.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[«Ninguém sabe o que custa conquistar uma criança que desistiu do mundo até ter de o fazer.»<br /><br />Glória está a envelhecer. Na tomada de consciência de que o fim pode estar para breve, é no neto que recaem todas as suas preocupações: se ela desaparecer, quem vai cuidar dele? Quem vai tomar conta de Pedro, o rapaz que todos escolheram abandonar?<br /><br />Rita da Nova está de volta com um romance em que os relatos dos vários protagonistas se entrelaçam para contar uma história repleta de feridas profundas.<br /><br />Com uma narrativa delicada e carregada de sensibilidade, a autora transporta-nos num enredo não linear em que todas as personagens principais têm direito a fazer-se ouvir: Glória, a avó que aguenta todas as tempestades da família. Helena, a mãe que abandona o filho. Eduardo, o padrasto que já não o é, mas que nunca esqueceu a criança de quem cuidou um dia.<br /><br />E Pedro, claro, Pedro, o elo que os une: o rapaz que todos rejeitaram, que ninguém soube amar sem prazo e que, em breve, pode precisar desesperadamente de uma nova oportunidade.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[À VOLTA DE UMA CHÁVENA DE CHÁ, ACONTECEU MUITA LITERATURA<br /><br />LIVRO DE CONTOS SOBRE CHÁ ORGANIZADO POR ALBERTO MANGUEL.<br /><br />«Há três bebidas que são, desde tempos imemoriais, imagens ou metáforas comuns de coisas essenciais em quase todas as nossas culturas. A água, um dos quatro elementos primordiais, é a imagem universal do tempo: o rio no qual, segundo Heraclito, nunca podemos entrar duas vezes. O vinho, da cor do mar de Homero e do sangue de Cristo, é uma representação da própria vida. E a terceira bebida especial é o chá, um líquido dourado que combina as qualidades das anteriores com propriedades de gentil regeneração secreta e de uma magia poderosa e inefável.»<br />Alberto Manguel, «Prefácio»<br /><br />Textos de: Hans Christian Andersen, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Agatha Christie, Robert Eustace, Mavis Gallant, Edgar Jepson, Sheridan Le Fanu, Katherine Mansfield, Saki (H.H. Munro), Hjalmar Söderberg, Anton Tchékhov]]></book_description>

Creo que a veces necesitamos librarnos de esas ideas y recuerdos, que resuenan lejanos como pequeños maullidos y despiertan sensaciones aparentemente olvidadas.<br /><br />Entonces se desatan esas ganas de gritar, de recuperar imágenes y dibujar para ir desenmarañando el ovillo de la memoria. Este es uno de esos momentos en la vida para abrir las puertas de lo inesperado y dejar que todos esos pensamientos dormidos vuelen y encuentren su lugar en cualquier parte, incluso entre las páginas de este libro.»]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Début des années 30. Anaïs Nin vit en banlieue parisienne et lutte contre l’angoisse de sa vie d’épouse de banquier. Plusieurs fois déracinée, elle a grandi entre deux continents, trois langues, et peine à trouver sa place dans une société qui relègue les femmes à des seconds rôles. Elle veut être écrivain, et s’est inventé, depuis l'enfance, une échappatoire : son journal. Il est sa drogue, son compagnon, son double, celui qui lui permet d’explorer la complexité de ses sentiments et de percevoir la sensualité qui couve en elle. C’est alors qu’elle rencontre Henry Miller, une révélation qui s’avère la première étape vers de grands bouleversements.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Revisitação de pontos centrais no universo literário de Clarice Lispector, <i>Água viva</i> é pura incandescência da inventividade e da linguagem. Uma enigmática voz feminina – toda audácia, delírio e sedução – conduz a narrativa. Esta mulher, cujo nome não sabemos, deseja mudar de ofício e tornar-se escritora. Ela é um eu que reivindica a ocupação de um espaço e de um tempo, que se dirige a um tu misterioso e que propõe o ousado alinhamento de humanos e bichos, natureza e linguagem, rumo ao centro da vida, que Clarice perseguiu em todas as suas obras.<br />Contestando limites e sem cedências à convenção, este livro inaugura um espaço partilhado entre quem escreve e quem lê: nesta mulher, na sua inquietação ou na sua letargia, nas suas fraturas ou nas suas pulsões, reconhecemos uma humanidade em estado bruto. O tom fragmentário é contrariado por uma cadência de demandas e reflexões tão profundamente individuais como peremptoriamente universais. Um livro desconcertante, que oferece uma hipótese de fusão entre escrita e leitura, forma e tema, corpo e radicalmente inovador, ao suspender as fórmulas de representação romanesca, e irresistivelmente transgressor, na exposição das costuras da ficção e da voz lírica.<br /><i>Água viva</i> é um triunfo de Clarice Lispector, que aqui ensaia uma nova escrita de si e do mundo.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Com talento poético e apurada perspicácia social, Ovídio traça as regras da corte, da atração e da intriga erótica, sempre com ironia e leveza.<br />Mais do que um manual de sedução, Arte de Amar celebra o intelecto e a imprevisibilidade das relações humanas. Sensual, espirituoso e irreverentemente sábio, este longo poema clássico explora o jogo do amor, com humor e inteligência, celebrando o desejo, que permanece elegante e surpreendentemente actual.<br />Traduzida por Natália Correia e David Mourão-Ferreira, esta obra é um convite à arte de amar.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[C'è stato un tempo in cui non esistevano le boutique di prêt-à-porter e tantomeno le grandi catene di moda a basso prezzo, e ogni famiglia che ne avesse la possibilità faceva cucire abiti e biancheria da una sarta: a lei era spesso dedicata una stanza della casa, nella quale si prendevano misure, si imbastivano orli, si disegnavano modelli ma soprattutto - nel silenzio del cucito - si sussurravano segreti e speranze. A narrarci la storia di questo romanzo è proprio una sartina a giornata nata a fine Ottocento, una ragazza di umilissime origini che apprende da sola a leggere e ama le opere di Puccini ma più di tutto sogna di avere una macchina da cucire: prodigiosa invenzione capace di garantire l'autonomia economica a chi la possiede, lucente simbolo di progresso e libertà. Cucendo, la sartina ascolta le storie di chi la circonda e impara a conoscere donne molto diverse: la marchesina Ester, che va a cavallo e studia la meccanica e il greco antico; miss Lily Rose, giornalista americana che nel corsetto nasconde segreti; le sorelle Provera con i loro scandalosi tessuti parigini; donna Licinia Delsorbo, centenaria decisa a tutto per difendere la purezza del suo sangue; Assuntina, la bimba selvatica... Pur in questa società rigidamente divisa per classe e censo, anche per la sartina giungerà il momento di uscire dall'ombra e farsi strada nel mondo, con la sola forza dell'intelligenza e delle sue sapienti mani. Bianca Pitzorno dà vita in queste pagine a una storia che ha il sapore dei feuilleton amati dalla sua protagonista, ma al tempo stesso è percorsa da uno sguardo modernissimo. Narrare della sartina di allora significa parlare delle donne di oggi e dei grandi sogni che per tutte dovrebbero diventare invece diritti: alla libertà, al lavoro, alla felicità.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>
  <i>Steeped in honey, Juventius, </i>
</b><br /><i>
  <b>your golden eyes, and as sweet too </b>
  <br />
  <b>when I press my lips to them - </b>
  <br />
  <b>three hundred thousand kisses </b>
  <br />
  <b>is not close to enough</b>
</i><br /><br /><br />For centuries, evidence of queer love in the ancient world was ignored or suppressed. Even today, only a few, famous narratives are widely known—yet there's a rich literary tradition of Greek and Roman love that extends far beyond this handful of stories. <br /><br />Here, the poet Seán Hewitt and painter Luke Edward Hall collect together, for the first time, forty of the most exhilarating queer tales in the classical canon and bring them newly to life. <br /><br />A ground-breaking anthology that changes the way we see the ancient world - and invites us to reflect on the puritanism of our own—<i>300,000 Kisses </i>is a riotous celebration of desire in all its forms.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[No ano 1984, Londres é uma cidade lúgubre, em que a Polícia do Pensamento vigia de forma asfixiante a vida dos cidadãos. O mais grave dos crimes é ter uma mente livre.<br /><br />Winston Smith é um peão nesta engrenagem perversa e a sua função é reescrever a História para a adaptar ao que o Partido considera a versão oficial dos feitos. É o que faz, até decidir questionar a verdade do sistema repressor. Na ânsia de liberdade e verdade, arrisca a vida ao apaixonar-se por uma colega, a bela Julia, e rebelar-se contra o poder vigente.<br /><br />Publicada originalmente em 1949, a obra mais poderosa de George Orwell é, pela primeira vez, adaptada a novela gráfica, no traço do artista brasileiro Fido Nesti, que capta magistralmente os rostos, corpos e cenários de um mundo que, cada dia, é menos difícil de imaginar.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[No dia em que Alejandro nasceu, no ano de 1984, em Miami, filho de pai incógnito e de uma mãe doente que morrerá pouco depois, e antes ainda de ficar entregue às tias que odeiam homens e que tentarão torná‑lo imprestável, estávamos longe de imaginar que ele sobreviveria, quanto mais ver‑lhe reservado um papel na história.<br />Fugindo das suas tias e da frustração de não se tornar faroleiro, Alejandro embarca num cruzeiro quase sobrenatural, desembarcando por acaso em Lisboa, num mundo pós‑Grande Apagão — um cataclismo planetário que desligou todos os sistemas eléctricos por meia hora e deu a todas as mulheres um imenso orgasmo —, e encontra os caminhos que o levarão a cruzar‑se com os restantes protagonistas: Alex, o anão revolucionário com o seu amado golfinho Pablo, o sociólogo Hélder, dado a conspirações e teorias da recolhonização, e Catarina, uma mulher numa misteriosa missão que a obriga a saltitar entre continentes em busca de um homem muito especial.<br /><br />Vem aí uma epidemia nunca antes vista e de consequências imprevisíveis, mas os elos da engrenagem já estão a girar. Preparem‑se para o contágio.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[As altas montanhas dos Pirenéus catalães são uma terra de fronteira, assombrada pela memória dos séculos e das gerações passadas. A sua sabedoria escapa à compreensão humana e é eterna, ao contrário do amor, da guerra ou da dor. Uns dizem que essas montanhas são fonte de vida. Outros, que a cada dez anosmorre alguém fulminado por um raio no meio dos penhascos.<br />É essa a tragédia que se abate sobre Domènec de Matavaques, o camponês poeta. Pouco depois desse acontecimento, rodeiam o seu corpo inerte os fantasmas de quatro bruxas. Em casa, no sopé da montanha, Sió, agora jovem viúva, vê-se obrigada a cuidar sozinha de duas crianças e de um velho sogro…<br /><br />Em Eu Canto e a Montanha Dança, um dos romances mais surpreendentes e de maior sucesso da literatura catalã contemporânea, Irene Solà faz nascer, para lá do tempo e da história, um mundo poético e mítico, de uma beleza tão selvagem quanto visceral; um mundo cantado a várias vozes, por vários protagonistas – mulheres e homens, animais, espíritos ou nuvens – que, além do drama humano, anunciam e celebram o imutável ciclo da vida.]]></book_description>

Incapaz de voltar para casa, ele vagueia pela cidade, cruzando-se com ativistas, intelectuais e membros da elite, enquanto revisita o passado e enfrenta os segredos da sua família.

    <book_description><![CDATA[As his tale begins, Orlando is a passionate young nobleman whose days are spent in rowdy revelry, filled with the colourful delights of Queen Elizabeth's court. By the close, he will have transformed into a modern, thirty-six-year-old woman and three centuries will have passed. Orlando will witness the making of history from its edge, dressing in the flamboyant fashions of each era, following passing customs, and socialising with celebrated artists and writers.<br /><br />Virginia Woolf's most unusual and fantastic creation, <i>Orlando</i> is a funny, exuberant tale that examines the very nature of sexuality.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[This volume combines two books which were among the greatest contributions to feminist literature this century. Together they form a brilliant attack on sexual inequality. <i>A Room of One's Own</i>, first published in 1929, is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers.<br /><br />The sequel, <i>Three Guineas</i>, is a passionate polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism.]]></book_description>

Uma profunda e incontrariável ligação aos livros, que os levou a dedicarem-lhes toda ou boa parte das suas vidas. São eles e o seu amor por um objeto milenar os protagonistas do novo livro de Rui Couceiro.<br />Depois de publicar os romances Baiôa sem Data para Morrer e Morro da Pena Ventosa, o autor viajou pelo mundo para conhecer e contar histórias que apaixonarão todos os que, como ele e os protagonistas de A Mais Bela Maldição, adoram os livros e a leitura.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[O meu pai era jardineiro. Agora é um jardim.<br /><br />Um homem chamado Gueorgui permanece junto à cama do pai, até à sua última manhã de inverno.<br />Atravessando uma época de luto, Gueorgui percorre as infinitas narrativas que o pai costumava contar e a história que definiu uma geração: a de rapazes nascidos na Bulgária no final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, que cresceram e se tornaram homens muitas vezes ausentes, agarrados ao tubo de respiração de um cigarro, a nadar noutras águas e nuvens.<br />De um quintal árido de aldeia, o pai de Gueorgui fez um refúgio especial: um jardim exuberante onde viveria para sempre, entre os rebentos de campânulas-brancas e as primeiras túlipas da primavera. Mas, sem ele, o passado de Gueorgui começa a fragmentar-se.<br /><br />Tradução (do búlgaro) e notas: Paulo Tiago Jerónimo e Monika Boneva.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>Everything Handmaids wear is red: the colour of blood, which defines us.</i><br /><br />Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships. She serves in the household of the Commander and his wife, and under the new social order she has only one purpose: once a month, she must lie on her back and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if they are fertile. But Offred remembers the years before Gilead, when she was an independent woman who had a job, a family, and a name of her own. Now, her memories and her will to survive are acts of rebellion.<br /><br />Provocative, startling, prophetic, <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i> has long been a global phenomenon. With this stunning graphic novel adaptation of Margaret Atwood's modern classic, beautifully realized by artist Renee Nault, the terrifying reality of Gilead has been brought to vivid life like never before.]]></book_description>

This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, <i>The Handmaid’s Tale</i> is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Every morning, Sybil Van Antwerp sits down to write letters – to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to attend a class she desperately wants to take, to her favourite authors to tell them what she thinks of their latest books, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter.<br /><br />Because at seventy-three, Sybil has used her correspondence – witty and wise – to make sense of the world. But beyond the page, she has spent the last thirty years keeping the people who love her at arms’ length... Until letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life.<br /><br />Now, Sybil must send the letter she has been writing for all these years - and find forgiveness within herself in order to move on.<br /><br />Sybil Van Antwerp’s life of letters might be ‘a very small thing’, but she also might be one of the most memorable characters you will ever read.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A dor e o abandono chegaram cedo à vida de Teresinha, a filha mais velha de um dos mais prestigiados médicos da capital e de uma mulher livre e corajosa, descendente dos marqueses de Alorna, que nas ruas e nos melhores salões de Lisboa rivalizava em encanto com Natália Correia. A menina que haveria de ser poetisa vê a morte de perto quando ainda mal sabe andar, sobrevive às depressões da mãe, chegando mesmo a comer uma carta para a proteger. É dura e injustamente castigada e as cicatrizes hão-de ficar visíveis toda a vida, de tal modo que a infância e a adolescência de Maria Teresa Horta explicam quase todas as opções que tomou. Sobreviver ao difícil divórcio dos pais, duas figuras incomuns, com as quais estabeleceu relações impressionantes de tão complexas, foi apenas uma etapa.<br /><br />Mas quanto deste sofrimento a leva à descoberta da poesia? E quanto está na origem da voz activista de uma jovem que há-de ser uma d’As Três Marias, as autoras das famosas «Novas Cartas Portuguesas», e protagonistas do último caso de perseguição a escritores em Portugal, que recebeu apoio internacional de mulheres como Simone de Beauvoir e Marguerite Duras? A insubmissa, que se envolve por acaso com o PCP e mantém intensa actividade política no pré e no pós-25 de Abril; a poetisa, a mãe, a mulher que constrói um amor desmedido por Luís de Barros; a grande escritora a quem os prémios e condecorações chegaram já tarde (ainda que, em alguns casos, a tempo de serem recusados), entre outras facetas, é a Maria Teresa Horta que Patrícia Reis, romancista e biógrafa experimentada, soube escrever e dar a conhecer, nesta biografia, com a destreza e a sensibilidade que a distinguem.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Brodeck, cujo passado vamos descobrindo ao longo da história, é incumbido de redigir um relatório após o assassinato do estranho homem que chegou à aldeia meses antes, pondo tudo e todos em alvoroço.<br /><br />O Relatório de Brodeck é uma parábola sombria sobre a guerra, a xenofobia, e a memória, numa história sem espaço nem tempo definidos, mas que conseguimos claramente identificar, e onde se pesa à vez a faculdade de o homem renunciar à sua humanidade e a sua capacidade de sobrevivência.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[«Eras de uma realidade paralela à minha, e eu assimilara o facto de duas paralelas não poderem encontrar-se.»<br /><br />Cairo, anos 1960. Tarek, ainda rapaz, vê o seu destino traçado: será médico, tal como o pai, e há de casar e ter filhos. Sob o olhar atento da família, este trilho não sofre desvios. Até que Tarek conhece Ali, e tudo muda. O relacionamento interdito entre os dois homens, separados por todas as convenções sociais e de classe, deixará um rasto de destruição. Anos depois, encontramos Tarek sozinho, do outro lado do mundo. Alguém começa a escrever sobre ele e para ele, reconstituindo em detalhe um passado que Tarek preferia esquecer.<br /><br />O que não sei de ti transporta-nos para um momento histórico irrepetível, numa sociedade fraturada e desigual, e põe a nu as feridas de quem não pode viver livremente. No final, quando descobrirmos quem escreve esta história, descobriremos também se é possível evitar um desenlace trágico para uma desolada história de amor.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Isabel, enfermeira, acompanha o declínio cognitivo da mãe enquanto é forçada a revisitar a sua própria história.<br /><br />A infância num bairro periférico, o trabalho precoce, a formação no hospital, o casamento falhado, a maternidade atravessada por tensões raciais e a figura ambígua de um pai ausente emergem como farrapos ainda vivos, nunca totalmente resolvidos. Cuidar torna-se um gesto ambivalente, simultaneamente técnico e afetivo, exercício de sobrevivência e de exaustão.<br /><br />A doença instala-se não apenas como condição clínica, mas como metáfora de uma herança coletiva feita de silêncios, violência normalizada e adaptação contínua. A memória materna que se desfaz convoca as estratégias de esquecimento que atravessaram gerações e um país, pondo em causa a ideia de progresso, de redenção e de linearidade do tempo. O fim deixa de significar apenas perda e passa a ser também um lugar de revelação.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[In the wake of a catastrophic storm, Cora sets off with her nine-year-old daughter, Maia, to register her son’s birth. Her husband, Gordon, a local doctor, respected in the community but a terrifying and controlling presence at home, intends for her to name the infant after him. But when the registrar asks what she’d like to call the child, Cora hesitates...<br /><br />Spanning thirty-five years, what follows are three alternate and alternating versions of Cora’s and her young son’s lives, shaped by her choice of name. In richly layered prose, <i>The Names</i> explores the painful ripple effects of domestic abuse, the messy ties of family, and the possibilities of autonomy and healing.<br /><br />With exceptional sensitivity and depth, Knapp draws us into the story of one family, told through a prism of what-ifs, causing us to consider the “one… precious life” we are given. The book’s brilliantly imaginative structure, propulsive storytelling, and emotional, gut-wrenching power are certain to make <i>The Names</i> a modern classic.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Meet the Mortons: In this family, murder is currency—and business is booming.</b><br /><br />The Mortons are a modern day, old-money dynasty with impeccable taste, from their exquisitely crafted cocktails to their expertly tailored vintage garments. They are also stone-cold killers. For the Mortons, homicide is heritage.<br /><br />They, along with the other legacy crime families, send their progeny to Helshire College, where the legacy kids strategically intermingle with ordinary students from wealthy families. Jessica Morton has always excelled at Helshire, secure in her knowledge that she is the prodigy of her generation. Now, having committed her first kill at her matriarch's behest, it should be Jessica's moment, her honor. But that kill will cut more ways than one, unknotting deep secrets that propel a series of revelations, spanning the Mortons' country estate, the New York City art world, and Helshire itself.<br /><br />What happens to Jessica when all of her dearly-held certainties face the axe?<br /><br />Sharp and hypnotic, <i>The Mortons</i> is an epic novel of alliances and power, loyalty and kinship, and the consequences of ruthless ambition.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[t has always been Mira, Ma and Ashu. The three of them-as they sing Simon &amp; Garfunkel in Ma's sun-yellow car, watch TV on the sofa and holiday on the mango farm-are bound firmly together. Yet, beneath this tale of proximity, lurks another story-that of a family in hot water.<br /><br />Nine-year-old Mira, fourteen-year-old Ashu and Ma harbour secrets. All of them confront questions that have no neat answers. Where is Ma's husband, for instance? Who does Ashu pine for? Why is Mira on the alert?<br /><br />One long, hot summer, the secrets come tumbling out. And the world Ma, Mira and Ashu have cobbled together threatens to give way.<br /><br />An achingly beautiful novel, Hot Water traces the ways in which the love we feel for one another can both make and wreck us.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<i>Holy work sometimes requires unholy deeds.</i> <br /><br />Brother Diaz has been summoned to the Sacred City, where he is certain a commendation and grand holy assignment awaits him. But his new flock is made up of unrepentant murderers, practitioners of ghastly magic, and outright monsters. The mission he is tasked with will require bloody measures from them all in order to achieve its righteous ends. <br /><br />Elves lurk at our borders and hunger for our flesh, while greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions and comfort. With a hellish journey before him, it's a good thing Brother Diaz has the devils on his side.<br />]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Two men venture through strange landscapes towards unknowable destinations. Paul, a feted designer, wanders the echoing corridors of a server farm in Norway - before, in a sudden blackout, he seems to vanish. In another time and space, a wounded stranger wakes in a forest, watched over by a young girl who helps him flee to an icebound settlement where perhaps he will find safety.<br /><br />Inventive, enigmatic and chromatically resonant, <i>Air </i>is the seductively disorienting new novel from one of the most significant European writers working today. Heir to the ingenious fictions of Ursula K. Le Guin or Jorge Luis Borges, resistant to single interpretation, it unfolds as a haunting journey through a layered universe that may be a dream, the afterlife or reality's inverted twin.<br />]]></book_description>

Dinah isn’t quite sure what to make of this seemingly pristine her new life seems soulless and suffocating.<br />Another teenager, Safa, watches Dinah settle in. A fourteen-year-old Palestinian who was shot and killed decades ago in the Six Day War, Safa is caught in a limbo which she calls the ‘In-Between’. She is unable to fully pass on without knowing what happened to her younger sister, Nur, who is still alive somewhere. Thirty-three years after her death, the possibility of finding her is suddenly within reach – but she needs Dinah to help her.<br /><br />Alternating between past and present, and between Safa and Dinah, <i>Ever Land</i> is a gripping and powerful story that sheds light on the ongoing occupation of Palestine. It is a tale of belonging and identity, of devastation and displacement and – ultimately – of the enduring universality of humanity and love.<br />]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>The number one bestselling author of global sensation <i>Lessons in Chemistry</i> returns with an irresistible, delightful, and tender story about a young man whose life turns upside down when he is hired by the most prestigious, secretive, and dysfunctional poetry journal in the world: the renowned Peck &amp; Peck of New York City.</b><br /><br />Batter Gray is worried about his future. Even when he was eleven, his classmates seemed to have settled on a goal: doctor, lawyer, broker, engineer. Good jobs that automatically command respect, security, 401Ks. Now Batter is in his early twenties, living in New York City, and he wants something different; something that alienates some readers and bores most. Poetry. And yet—to him and exactly thirty-nine editors at a company called Peck &amp; Peck—poetry not only represents the power of humanity but holds the key to its survival.<br /><br />Batter is named after his mother’s heroic dog. An identical twin who lost his brother at birth, he finds himself confronted by the everyday dualities that make up life: right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, rejection vs. acceptance. It’s almost as if his dead brother is a reminder: there are always two sides to every story.<br /><br />No, wait. Make that three.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Travis is Death in the modern world. He wears jeans and a T-shirt and lives in a small, grey town. His job is to offer people comfort in their final hours of life. He’s stoic, gentle, and a little naive, despite everything he knows. He’s young and handsome, despite who he is. Each death he witnesses is meaningful to him; he listens, never judges, and most importantly, never tries to change anyone’s fate. He knows that every life must eventually end to maintain the balance of the universe and he respects the cycle.<br /><br />Then he meets Dalia, a midwife, and her boisterous eight-year-old daughter Layla, who live across the hall. As Dalia and Layla come to embrace Travis, it becomes more difficult to maintain the detachment that’s allowed him to function for so long. Their time together teaches him what’s truly important in life—and what might be irrevocably lost in death.<br /><br />Written with radiant warmth, wisdom, and compassion, Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt is a timeless story about appreciating life, accepting its end, and finding our place in the universe—especially when it feels most impossible—that will resonate with anyone who has ever loved and lost or worried at time’s passing.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Welcome to the Gun Show!<br /><br />The top 10 list is populated. The sponsorship program is open. The difficulty is ramping up. The first three floors were nothing compared to what Carl and Donut now face.<br /><br />The Iron Tangle. An impossibly complicated subway system built out of the world's subterranean railway systems, all combined and then tied together into a knot. Up is down. Down is up. Close is far. The cars are filled with monsters, the railway stations are less than safe, and the exit is always just a few stops away.<br /><br />But there is hope. For the first time, the crawlers are all working together. The loot is better than ever. And the secret to unraveling it all may be hidden in the pages of a seemingly useless book.<br /><br />Welcome, crawlers. Welcome to the fourth floor of the dungeon.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA["The training levels have concluded. Now the games may truly begin."<br /><br />The ratings and views are off the chart. The fans just can't get enough. The dungeon gets more dangerous each day. But in a grinder designed to chew up and spit out crawlers by the millions, Carl and Princess Donut need to work harder than ever just to survive. <br /><br />They call it the Over City. A sprawling, once-thriving metropolis devastated by a mysterious calamity. But these streets are far from abandoned. An undead circus trawls the ruins. Murdered prostitutes rain from the sky. An ancient spell is finally ready to reveal its dark purpose. <br /><br />Carl still has no pants. <br /><br />They call it Dungeon Crawler World. For Carl and Donut, it's anything but a game.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>A coming-of-age novel, a love story and a tale of life-enhancing Pulitzer Prize winner Andrew Sean Greer showcases his wit, sophistication and deep knowledge of focaccia in this magical tale set amidst the Tuscan hills.</b><br /><br />Broke and directionless, our young man takes a job in the Italian countryside as the all-purpose assistant to Lisabetta, known to her friends as Coco - a strong-willed, wealthy widow of great local renown.<br /><br />Trained as an archivist, he thinks he's been hired to catalogue the contents of the beautiful, crumbling mansion nestled in the green Tuscan hills... but what <i>are</i> his actual duties? Days are spent ridding the house of a marten - whatever that is - locating the antediluvian septic system, entertaining an endless carousel of guests (from bohemian painters to elderly princesses to unnervingly handsome nephews), attending a funeral in order to make off with the urn, and not inadvertently sabotaging Coco's great and final plan-to locate the lost love of her life and be reunited before it's too late.<br /><br />As summer turns into autumn and the Italian countryside begins to work its magic on our protagonist, the secrets of Villa Coco and its inhabitants are slowly brought to light - and with them, an unforgettable story of the enduring power of friendship.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>The apocalypse will be televised! Welcome to the first book in the wildly popular and addictive Dungeon Crawler Carl series—now with bonus material exclusive to this print edition.</b><br /><br />You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what.<br /><br />Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.<br /><br />Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.<br /><br /><br />Includes part one of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>
  <i>They knew they were changing history.</i>
</b><br /><br /><b>
  <i>They didn’t know they would change each other.</i>
</b><br /><br /><b>Following the unlikely friendship of four women in the first female class at Oxford, their unshakeable bond in the face of male contempt, and their coming of age in a world forever changed by World War I.</b><br /><br /><b>“Entertaining and moving…I came to love these four women as though they were my sisters.”—TRACY CHEVALIER, #1 </b><b>
  <i>New York Times </i>
</b><b>bestselling author</b><br /><br /><i>Oxford, 1920</i>. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship.<br /><br />Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way—and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed.<br /><br />Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Explore a universe of stubborn survival and found family, of persistent danger and quiet wonder in the first installment of a heartfelt new duology from Hugo Award–winning author Becky Chambers.</b><br /><br />Life on the resource-poor planet of Fortune is challenging, but for its inhabitants, it’s home. For two of them, Signy and Cora, this home might no longer be enough.<br /><br />Signy is a brilliant but reclusive botanist who bio-prints medicine from her small plant shop, often bending the rules to help those the system leaves behind. Her life is filled with the green of her store, the warmth of her one elderly friend, and the quiet determination to help others without putting herself in danger.<br /><br />Cora is a rorqual pilot, one of the few with the unique ability to navigate the massive, living ships that connect the scattered settlements of their solar system. Her bond with her rorqual, Colibri, is profound—a connection that is both her greatest gift and a threat to her career.<br /><br />It is that threat—the “mindbleed,” a dangerous side effect of her piloting—that brings her to Signy’s shop, and her appearance puts Signy in the danger she so fears. But it’s soon apparent it’s not just about losing her license—this delicate balance between risk and trust has the potential to change everything for them.<br /><br />Told in an alternating timeline of their initial coming together and a not-so-distant future where they have found domestic bliss, this is a story harrowing and haunting, heartfelt and hopeful. Through a love story centered around survival, we are given a glimpse into the very best of what Becky Chambers does in her writing: explore what it means to be human, and what it means to come together.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>The epic, captivating tale of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who must reconcile her mind and heart when she is drawn against all odds to Ares, the god of war, from the internationally bestselling author of <i>Ariadne</i> and <i>Hera</i>.</b><br /><br />From the moment Aphrodite emerges fully formed from the sea, she is devastatingly beautiful and imbued with ancient power. Driven by passion yet strategic in how she moves through the halls of Olympus and the earthly realm alike, the free-willed goddess wields unparalleled influence over every living being.<br /><br />When fate brings her face to face with Ares, she bristles at this surly, hot-tempered warrior who’s seemingly her disliked by everyone and devoted to stirring up conflict. Yet these gods are no more immune to the dizzying highs and lows of love and loss than anyone else, and soon, they are irresistibly drawn to one another.<br /><br />As their love affair spans mortal lifetimes, Aphrodite begins to question the gods’ games and her role in them. But there’s only so much room for fire and passion in Zeus’s kingdom. Before long, she must test her devotion to her own divine purpose—and to a love that can only lead to ruin.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[The <i>Safina</i> is a city ship, two hundred years into its voyage from the ruins of Earth towards a new habitable world. Its crew maintain the ship, generation after generation, while protecting their 'ancestors'—the final remnants of Earth's doomed Network Empire—by keeping them alive in cryostasis. <br /><br />But a lot can change in two hundred years, and people are starting to ask questions. Why should the crew continue to toil for people none of them remember? What exactly gives Administration its authority over everyone else? <br /><br />And when the blackouts start, they set in motion a chain of events that will change life on the <i>Safina</i> forever. A reckoning is coming. The system is only secure so long as those in power maintain the obedience of those beneath them. <br /><br />And the crew has had enough. <br /><br />A science fiction odyssey of breathtaking scope, <i>The Republic of Memory</i>, is a gripping examination of what divides us, and what brings us together. This is a modern and ambitious work of Arabfuturism, and is perfect for fans of <i>The Expanse</i>, <i>A Memory Called Empire</i> or <i>Children of Time</i>.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Filipa Fonseca Silva está de regresso com um romance intenso e brilhante sobre as mentiras em que acreditamos quando amamos e do que abdicamos por amor.</b><br /><br />Durante quinze anos, Estefânia viveu entre a promessa e a espera. Apaixonou-se por Artur, um homem casado, e aceitou um amor confinado a um espaço improvável, onde uma parede móvel separa o desejo da mentira. Quando a mulher de Artur o visita, a parede fecha-se, e Estefânia vê-se reduzida ao lugar invisível da amante, a vida suspensa, acreditando que um dia ele cumprirá a promessa de deixá-la livre — ou de libertar-se.<br /><br />Inspirado em factos reais, este é um romance que toca em feridas íntimas com delicadeza e intensidade. Uma dissecação literária da culpa, do autoengano e das múltiplas formas de submissão feminina.<br /><br />Da autora de <i>O elevador</i>, já adaptado a filme, e de <i>E se eu morrer amanhã?</i>, livro fenómeno em Portugal e no Brasil que em breve também chegará ao grande ecrã.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Hoy puede ser un gran día</b><br /><br /><b>La nueva y sorprendente novela gráfica de Agustina Guerrero, una autora que ha conquistado el corazón de 200. 000 lectores</b><br /><br /><b>Número uno en ventas</b><br /><br />¿Qué pasaría si una mañana decidieras cambiar el rumbo de tu día? Si por una vez dejaras de lado todos los planes que has ido elaborando en tu cabeza con milimétrica perfección. Si te propusieras huir de la hiperconectividad, de las prisas y de las tareas que te autoimpones.<br /><br />A veces es necesario bajar el detenerse, caminar sin destino, sumergirse en el presente y mirar. Mirar es una elección, nos recuerda Agustina Guerrero en esta novela gráfica que transcurre en una transformadora jornada en un día dedicado a dejarse llevar, a escuchar las historias que la ciudad tiene que contarle y a abrirse a que surja lo inesperado. Porque son precisamente esos momentos en los que uno se permite observar, sentir e improvisar los que dejan una mayor huella en la memoria y le dan sabor y sentido a la vida.<br /><br /><b>La crítica ha </b><br /><br /> «Una invitación a bajar el ritmo para poder habitar el momento presente y apreciar la belleza de lo cotidiano.»<br />Eva Blanco Medina, <i>Vogue</i><br /><br />«Me ha encantado <i>Hoy</i>, ha conseguido […] que ahora cuando salgo me fije en otras cosas. […] Maravilloso, […] y, además, una edición preciosa».<br />Javier Alonso, <i>Territorio 9</i> (RNE)<br /><br />«Una oda al pasear y a Barcelona que invita a escapar de un mundo hiperproductivo e hiperconectado».<br />Esther Castarnado, <i>Betevé </i><br /><br />«Con su estilo fresco, cotidiano y humorístico, conectó rápidamente con miles de mujeres y generó un éxito abrumador».<br />Cristina Gaggioli, <i>La Vanguardia</i><br /><br />«Un libro agradable, llamativo, muy emotivo y necesario de leer y disfrutar».<br /><i>La Opinión de Murcia</i><br /><br />«En <i>Hoy</i>, [...] el paseo sin destino se convierte en un acto íntimo de revolución, una invitación a oler lo real y habitar lo común. [...] Una celebración de la vida. Una reflexión sobre el tiempo y las redes sociales, un deseo de bajar el ritmo y de entrenar la atención para encontrar belleza en lo cotidiano».<br />Diana Hernández, <i>El Duende</i><br /><br />«Vivimos la vida rápido y tendríamos que pararnos más, observar lo que nos rodea, disfrutar del tiempo, del hoy y el ahora. Esto es lo que nos quiere transmitir [...] Agustina en su nuevo cómic. […] Un libro para leer despacio».<br />Marta Ruiz Espinel, <i>El Generacional</i><br /><br /><b>Sobre sus libros </b><br /><br /> «Agustina Guerrero dibuja emociones reconocibles y pone palabras a los viajes internos que implica crecer.»<br />Marta Maldonado, <i>La Razón</i><br /><br />«Una apuesta valiente, arriesgada, que merece la pena».<br /><br /><i>El Ojo Crítico</i> (RN1)<br /><br />«Agustina siempre ha sabido desplegar un dibujo accesible, cercano, [...]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[What would you say if you had one ideal chance to speak yourself, to make a language that spoke across time to those you have loved, to those you have wronged, to all those countless human and non-human lives that have intersected and impacted on yours, with or without your knowledge?<br /><br />MAX PORTER'S <i>All of This Unreal Time</i> takes this idea—the poetic concept of ‘perfect speech’—and turns it into a wild, psycholo-delic apology rant. Moving with Porter’s peerless linguistic skill between a single speaker’s self-lacerating ‘apology’ to an excavation of family trauma, late-capitalist guilt and rage and the shame that attends—that must attend—modern masculinity. All this is, of course, handled with the usual slipperiness and smarts—where nothing is quite as it seems, pregnant with its opposite, a shape-shifting tour-de-force of voice and concept from our most exciting contemporary writer.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[O céu desta história está pintado por um bando voador que nem sempre se deixa apanhar - ou domesticar. Mas um dia alguém exige que se capture um pequenino e raro manual de instruções de como fazer um herbário. Aí começa uma grande confusão. Como se resiste a uma imaginação encolhida? Como se ergue um olhar curioso que sabe que conhecer é cuidar, e cuidar é amar?]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Um dos grandes pensadores portugueses partilha influências, reflexões, perguntas e muito do tanto que ensinou e aprendeu.<br /><br />A infância em Moçambique, a brincar com os negros, com cobras aos ombros e a vestir o fato de banho para ir apanhar chuva, vendo as mulheres de seios despidos e seguindo a sua dança, é apenas o começo da biografia de um menino, conhecido como Zeca, que, aos oito anos, queria escrever um livro como <i>Guerra e Paz</i> e, aos treze, leu Marx sem ter percebido nada, julgando ter compreendido tudo.<br /><br />Só depois vieram a juventude solitária, o regresso à metrópole e a um país comprimido politicamente, a <i>Sorbonne</i>, o Maio de 68 dentro e fora da academia, as aulas de filosofia no ensino secundário, o trabalho como motorista de ambulância de uma clínica psiquiátrica, para estudar os loucos, a Córsega, a experiência política, a análise do carisma dos líderes e o prazer vital de trabalhar.<br /><br />Só muito mais tarde, com o ensaio <i>Portugal, Hoje - O Medo de Existir</i>, um fenómeno que dominou os tops de vendas, o protagonista deste livro se tornou amplamente reconhecido.<br /><br />Nestas páginas, e entre muitos outros assuntos, o Professor José Gil aborda o sentimento doloroso, mas também de liberdade, de ser moçambicano, francês e português, o fracasso da democracia, que defende ser necessário reformular, a ascensão do populismo e do fascismo, a lentidão das respostas aos problemas globais e a urgência de pensar para lá das ilusões e manipulações, que se assume como um dos mais fortes gestos de resistência perante o perigo de continuarmos a escrever a História com uma mão e a apagá-la com a outra.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Maria e Petrúcio ergueram o lar em frente a uma árvore de raízes fundas e tiveram três filhas: Violeta, Helga e Mariana, que nunca saiu de casa, nem para o parto de Lucília. Alguém começa a ver em duplicado e diz ter encontrado as almas do mundo, alguém se levanta de<br />madrugada para reparar melhor, insânia após insónia. Há quem faça listas intermináveis contra a finitude. Petrúcio emudeceu e assiste aos avanços ameaçadores das escavadoras a esventrar a terra, rondando o terreno. Quem não aceita que lhe corrijam o problema ocular procura a lua em quarto minguante. Essa é a noite do grande incêndio.<br /><br />O júri considerou Escavadoras um "romance que atrai não só pelas vertentes oníricas como a narrativa se organiza, mas também pelo sentimento de perda que une o universo existencial das personagens. Um ponto de vista lutuoso orienta e organiza as relações humanas e, facto não menos relevante, a própria tragédia familiar vivida no romance".]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Quando o toque se torna mortal, o que resta da humanidade?<br />Num mundo que já se habituou à indiferença, um som impossível ecoa do céu e da terra e, num instante, tudo muda.<br />Depois dele, surge uma nova verdade, tão simples quanto devastadora: o toque mata.<br />Milhares sucumbem. As regras da convivência e do amor são reescritas e a sociedade renasce sob um novo pacto — o da distância.<br />Mas como continuar a ser gente num mundo onde o afeto é proibido?<br />Serão a liberdade e a justiça um preço que estamos dispostos a pagar para sobreviver?<br />Cinco desconhecidos — duas mulheres, dois homens e uma criança surda — embarcam numa jornada perigosa rumo a um refúgio remoto, onde acreditam existir uma cura.<br />Entre a esperança e a manipulação, eles tornam-se heróis improváveis de uma epopeia distópica que reflete, com inquietante precisão, o mundo em que vivemos.<br />Uma história sobre o medo, a coragem e o poder devastador — e redentor — do contacto humano.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Il romanzo di una generazione che sa di dover partire ignorando la destinazione. In un mondo governato dall’incertezza e da falsi idoli, una giovane donna viaggia tra la grande metropoli, il paesello d’origine sul mare, il Marocco fantastico di un padre adorato ma sfuggente.<br /><br />Mina ha trent’anni e conduce a Londra una vita costruita con grande attenzione e poca spontaneità, nel tentativo spasmodico di sentirsi finalmente “giusta”. Una sera riceve una telefonata da sua madre: il padre è morto. Mina torna a casa per i funerali, ma finisce per restare a lungo. Casa è la periferia di un paese sul mare in cui suo padre gestiva un piccolo bar sulla spiaggia frequentato per lo più da immigrati. Omar aveva cercato con quel bar di creare una piccola comunità per tutti coloro che non si sentivano accolti da quella nuova terra. In quello strano luogo dove nessuno sembra essere al suo posto, dove le persone troppo spesso appaiono come fantasmi che passano e svaniscono, Mina ritrova la famiglia, gli amici e soprattutto i ricordi del padre, questo mitico, inafferrabile, eterno migrante con un misterioso passato in Marocco.<br /><br />In quest’avventura sensuale ma a tratti quasi metafisica, Mina scoprirà che le radici sono solo un sogno sfuggente, un desiderio di ritrovarsi in una storia comune, in un affetto profondo che ci faccia dimenticare, almeno a tratti, la ferocia del mondo e le ferite dell’abbandono.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>With echoes of <i>Educated</i> and <i>Born a Crime</i>, <i>How to Say Babylon</i> is the stunning story of the author’s struggle to break free of her rigid Rastafarian upbringing, ruled by her father’s strict patriarchal views and repressive control of her childhood, to find her own voice as a woman and poet.</b><br /><br />Throughout her childhood, Safiya Sinclair’s father, a volatile reggae musician and militant adherent to a strict sect of Rastafari, became obsessed with her purity, in particular, with the threat of what Rastas call Babylon, the immoral and corrupting influences of the Western world outside their home. He worried that womanhood would make Safiya and her sisters morally weak and impure, and believed a woman’s highest virtue was her obedience.<br /><br />In an effort to keep Babylon outside the gate, he forbade almost everything. In place of pants, the women in her family were made to wear long skirts and dresses to cover their arms and legs, head wraps to cover their hair, no make-up, no jewelry, no opinions, no friends. Safiya’s mother, while loyal to her father, nonetheless gave Safiya and her siblings the gift of books, including poetry, to which Safiya latched on for dear life. And as Safiya watched her mother struggle voicelessly for years under housework and the rigidity of her father’s beliefs, she increasingly used her education as a sharp tool with which to find her voice and break free. Inevitably, with her rebellion comes clashes with her father, whose rage and paranoia explodes in increasing violence. As Safiya’s voice grows, lyrically and poetically, a collision course is set between them.<br /><br /><i>How to Say Babylon</i> is Sinclair’s reckoning with the culture that initially nourished but ultimately sought to silence her; it is her reckoning with patriarchy and tradition, and the legacy of colonialism in Jamaica. Rich in lyricism and language only a poet could evoke, <i>How to Say Babylon</i> is both a universal story of a woman finding her own power and a unique glimpse into a rarefied world we may know how to name, Rastafari, but one we know little about.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[O Beco das Sardinheiras é um beco como outro qualquer, encafuado na parte velha de Lisboa. Uns dizem que é de Alfama, outros que é já da Mouraria e sustentam as suas opiniões com sólidos argumentos topográficos, abonados pela doutrina de olisiponenses egrégios. Eu, por mim, não me pronuncio. Tenho ideia de que ali é mais Alfama, mas não ficaria muito escarmentado se me provassem que afi nal é Mouraria. Creio que o nome lhe vem das sardinheiras que exibem um carmesim vistoso durante todo o ano, plantadas num canteiro que rompe logo à esquina, não longe da drogaria que já fica na Rua dos Eléctricos. A gente que habita o Beco é como as demais, nem boa nem má. Tem sobre os outros lisboetas um apego ainda maior ao seu sítio e às suas coisas. Desde há muito tempo que não há memória de que algum dos do Beco tenha emigrado de livre vontade.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Provavelmente, não há hoje boas razões para se falar de Jalalabad, de Kandahar ou de Mazar-i-Sharif. Ouvimos estes nomes quase diariamente associados a mortos e feridos. Conseguimos imaginar homens de barba e mulheres de burqa. Conseguimos até imaginar o cheiro a lixo às portas de Herat, onde «cheira tão mal como se tudo estivesse podre». Já não seremos capazes de imaginar, entre o cheiro a lixo, o perfume a rosas: «No meio do trânsito mais tóxico há rotundas com rosas lindas em Cabul.»<br />Aquilo que aqui, a ocidente, a milhares de quilómetros de distância, é apenas um borrão sem nome, uma massa de ideias vagas e de lugares-comuns, toma a forma de gente concreta, ganha contornos, espessura, rosto.<br />O facto de Alexandra Lucas Coelho escrever tão bem faz o resto. É o meio de transporte em que viajamos por um lugar aonde, é quase certo, nunca iríamos de outro modo.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[<b>Ergui a cabeça para o céu. É mais nu que a terra.</b><br /><br />Quando a fome grassa no Rife, uma família parte para Tânger em busca de uma vida melhor. Nas noites passadas ao relento, nos becos da cidade, o pequeno Muhammad, orgulhoso e insolente, descobre a injustiça e a compaixão, a tirania da autoridade, a loucura labiríntica da miséria, o consolo das drogas, do sexo e do álcool. E é na prisão que um companheiro lhe desvenda as maravilhas da leitura, mudando para sempre a sua vida. Estreia do autor em Portugal, em tradução directa do árabe, <em>Pão Seco</em> foi publicado originalmente em 1973, na tradução inglesa de Paul Bowles (<em>For Bread Alone</em>), quando os editores de língua árabe não estavam ainda preparados para o caos narrativo, a linguagem crua e a indisciplina gramatical que desafiavam a tradição e o «bom gosto». «Verdadeiro documento do desespero humano» (Tennessee Williams), obra de culto proibida até recentemente nos países árabes por tocar em tabus da sociedade magrebina, este avassalador romance autobiográfico consagrou o autor e continua a iluminar o caminho de várias gerações de renegados marroquinos.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Tem medo de morrer durante o sono esmagado pela sua biblioteca? A acumulação de livros coloca a existência da sua família em risco? Arruma os livros por tema, língua, autor, data de edição, ou formato, ou segundo um critério que só você conhece? Poderemos pôr lado a lado na estante dois autores irremediavelmente desavindos? São muitas as questões que envolvem esta espécie em vias de extinção: os bibliófilos que, além da paixão pela posse de livros, têm a obsessão pela leitura. As bibliotecas são seres vivos à imagem da nossa complexidade interior, e compõem um labirinto do qual poderemos não conseguir sair. Na verdade, os milhares de páginas que ocupam as nossas estantes estão povoadas de fantasmas que, uma vez encontrados, nunca nos largarão.<br />Um livro de amor aos livros.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Há umas crianças que fazem bolinhos de lama. Há outras que constroem castelos de areia. E há outras que erguem altas torres com blocos de construção. Mas nenhuma tem o pendor criativo do pequeno Ivo Neto, que até já construiu uma monumental esfinge de terra! É pena que poucas pessoas saibam apreciar o seu talento. E o certo é que nesse restrito grupo NÃO se inclui a sua professora! Mas, quando tudo indicava que o Ivo teria de trocar, de uma vez por todas, a régua e o esquadro por uma simples caixinha de lápis de cera, um mero passeio escolar vem provar a utilidade do engenho do menino]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[O jovem órfão Philip Pirrip, de todos conhecido por Pip foi criado pela sua irmã que vive com o ferreiro Joe numa pequena povoação perto de Kent em meados do século XIX. Um dia Pip é convidado pela misteriosa Miss Havisham, uma velha senhora propietária da mais rica mas decrépita mansão de todo o condado. A sua missão é ser o companheiro de Estella, a jovem protegida de Miss Havisham mas a realidade é bem diferente do que aparenta: Pip é a mera cobaia para uma Estella que está a ser treinada por Miss Havisham como a derradeira vingança contra todos os homens cujo objectivo é "partir corações". «Grandes Esperanças» foi o maior sucesso editorial de Dickens e marcou o imaginário de gerações de leitores. Romance de formação que acompanha o protagonista Pip dos últimos anos da sua infância à idade adulta é também uma obra portentosa sobre as relações entre homens e mulheres e o ódio e o amor que as atravessam; um retrato de uma época e de uma moral que é ainda a nossa; ao mesmo tempo romance de aventuras, história romântica, meditação filosófica sobre os valores que nos regem e, acima de tudo, sobre as esperanças que temos e que de nós têm para o futuro.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[«Então, fechei os olhos com força e fixei-me no que via. Esta era uma das coisas que fazia desde pequeno, que tinha descoberto por acaso e que imaginava ser eu a única pessoa a fazer no mundo. Fechava os olhos e via. Via o que se vê com os olhos fechados (...) Isto é o que se vê quando fechados os olhos e continuamos a ver: a cor negra e os pequenos seres de luz que a habitam. E não se consegue olhar fixamente nem para o negro nem para a luz. Os pontos ou as linhas ou as figuras de luz fogem da atenção. O negro é tão absoluto, tão profundo, tão infinito que o olhar avança por ele sem encontrar um lugar onde possa deter-se. Mas, naquela noite, comecei a distinguir algo dentro desse negro.»]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Um dia, no campo de concentração de Bergen Belsen, na Alemanha, Luis Sepúlveda encontrou gravada numa pedra uma frase de autor anónimo que dizia: «Eu estive aqui e ninguém contará a minha história.» Essa frase trouxe-lhe à memória toda uma galeria de personagens excecionais que havia conhecido e cujas histórias mereciam ser contadas. <br /><br />Assim nasceu o presente livro, As Rosas de Atacama. «Histórias marginais» (aliás o título da edição original espanhola), e também histórias de marginais, os relatos que compõem esta obra têm todos os ingredientes a que Luis Sepúlveda habituou os seus leitores: a defesa da vida e da dignidade humana, a luta pela justiça, o elogio dos valores ecológicos, o exotismo como afirmação de que os sonhos são os mesmos em todos os lugares da Terra. <br /><br />Como em todos os livros de Sepúlveda, também neste a realidade supera a ficção.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[Desde Luciano Cordeiro,Camilo,Cortesão e Sardinha aos investigadores actuais,sucedem-se as tentativas de traduzir com rigor a preciosidade literária que é o testamento sentimental da monja de Beja.A verdade,porém,é que essa prosa lúcida e requintada tem escapado aos tradutores que se lhe têm aventurado.O leitor que confronte esta tradução do poeta Eugénio de Andrade com quaisquer outras conhecidas compreenderá os motivos que nos levaram a publicar a nova versão.É que ela segue tão fielmente as sóbrias delicadezas do original que deixa na sombra as versões anteriores.Sem dúvida, a tradução de Eugénio de Andrade,agora em 5.a edição,é um marco na bibliografia de Mariana Alcoforado,a primeira que apreendeu as subtilezas dessa obra-prima epistolar.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[A história dos amigos Toupeira e Rato d’Água, animais bem‑queridos entre os cidadãos de um bucólico rio de Inglaterra, tornou‑se um clássico.<br /><br />Kenneth Grahame conseguiu, como poucos o têm feito na história da literatura, inventar um mundo aparentemente infantil mas que, na verdade, não tem tempo nem idade.<br /><br />Uma alegoria da vida, onde a amizade, a solidariedade, os contrastes sociais e as idiossincrasias de cada uma das personagens — do egocêntrico e irresponsável Sapo ao misantropo e sapiente Texugo — se articulam numa sucessão de irresistíveis aventuras e peripécias.]]></book_description>

She saves his life - and it will happen again and again.<br /><br />Neither of them understands his power to summon her whenever his life is threatened, nor the significance of the ties that bind them.<br /><br />And each time Dana saves him, the more aware she is that her own life might be over before it's even begun.]]></book_description>

    <book_description><![CDATA[This charming classic, first published in 1970, brings together twenty years of correspondence between Helene Hanff, a freelance writer living in New York City, and a used-book dealer in London. Through the years, though never meeting and separated both geographically and culturally, they share a winsome, sentimental friendship based on their common love for books. Their relationship, captured so acutely in these letters, is one that will grab your heart and not let go.]]></book_description>
