"Left unable to walk by a childhood illness, Lady Jennifer, sister of the Duke of Wilby, has grown up to make a happy place for herself in society. Outgoing and cheerful, she has many friends and enjoys the pleasures of high society--even if she cannot dance at balls or stroll in Hyde Park...But she secretly dreams of marriage and children, and of walking - and dancing. When Ben Ellis comes across Lady Jennifer as she struggles to walk with the aid of primitive crutches, he instantly understands her yearning. He is a fixer...But he must be careful. He is the bastard son of the late Earl of Stratton. Though he was raised with the earl's family, he knows he does not really belong in the world of the ton. Jennifer is shocked-and intrigued-by Ben's ideas, and both families are alarmed by the growing friendship and perhaps more that they sense developing between the two"--

Product Description Empress Celene of Orlais rose to the throne of the most powerful nation in Thedas through wisdom, wit, and ruthless manipulation. Now, the empire she has guided into an age of enlightenment is threatened from within by imminent war between the templars and the mages even as rebellion stirs among the downtrodden elves. To save Orlais, Celene must keep her hold on the throne by any means necessary. Fighting with the legendary skill of the Orlesian Chevaliers, Grand Duke Gaspard has won countless battles for the empire and the empress. But as the Circle fails and chaos looms, Gaspard begins to doubt that Celene's diplomatic approach to Orlais's problems will keep the empire safe. Perhaps it is time for a new leader, one who lives by the tenets of the Chevalier's Code, to make Orlais strong again. Briala has been Celene's handmaid since the two of them were children, subtly using her position to help improve the lives of elves across Orlais. She is Celene's confidante, spymaster, and lover, but when politics force the empress to choose between the rights of the elves and the Orlesian throne, Briala must decide where her true loyalties lie.

Escrita nos anos 1920 por Ievguêni Zamiátin. Nós é a distopia original que inspirou desde grandes clássicos do gênero, como Admirável Mundo Novo, 1984, Laranja Mecânica e Fahrenheit 451, até livros mais recentes, como Divergente e Jogos Vorazes. A obra conta com texto traduzido direto do russo e duas leituras complementares. A primeira é uma resenha do livro escrita por George Orwell, autor de 1984, originalmente publicada na revista londrina Tribune em 1946. Orwell ressalta a ousadia política de Nós e indica alguns dos incontáveis aspectos em que Zamiátin inspirou Admirável Mundo Novo, de Aldous Huxley. Há também uma comovente carta enviada por Zamiátin a Stálin, pedindo para sair da União Soviética, onde todas as suas publicações estavam sofrendo perseguição política. "Se eu for verdadeiramente um criminoso que merece punição, não creio que mereça uma punição tão grave quanto a morte literária. Por isso, peço que essa sentença seja comutada pela deportação da URSS" Em suas páginas, o autor imaginou um governo totalitário chamado Estado Único que, supostamente pelo bem da sociedade, privou a população de direitos fundamentais como o livre-arbítrio, a individualidade, a imaginação, a liberdade de expressão e o direito à própria vida. Um mundo completamente mecanizado e lógico, onde as pessoas não possuem nomes, mas sim números, e o Estado dita os horários de trabalho, de lazer, de refeições e até de sexo. A trama traz a história de D-503, um engenheiro que vive pleno e feliz (exatamente como ordena o grandioso Estado Único), mas começa a duvidar das próprias convicções ao conhecer uma misteriosa mulher que comete a ousadia de bular regras, e que o contamina com a doença chamada imaginação.

I was there. I saw what you did. Blaise I wasn't supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land's End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward. Connections run deep in our small town. I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I'd always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things. I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I'd known all my life. I've been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised. Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps. I can't bear the weight of that knowledge for another second. Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light... even if they have to kill me. In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life and to right a terrible wrong. Content Warning: a sexual assault storyline may be upsetting to some readers.

The recipe for forgiveness begins with an open heart and a full belly. Sisters Rose Tillman and her sister Marvina Nash haven't spoken in decades--not since Rose sent Marvina $40 to register their business and Marvina used that money for her own personal purposes. Now retired, Rose wants to open the restaurant they'd once dreamed of. But, to her horror, Rose realizes she's forgotten their mother's secret spice mix recipe, known to only one other person in the world. With no other option, Rose embarks on a two-hour drive to Marvina's house back in Fork City, Texas. Marvina has her own version of what caused their falling out, and it's a far cry from what Rose recalls. Marvina, skeptical and still indignant, but incurably polite, figures she'll give Rose a chance to speak her piece before closing the door in her face. As the sisters fight their way to forgiveness, they unpack their complicated past, form an unexpected alliance with a young mother-to-be, and reconnect through the tantalizing aroma of chicken dinners that hold the power to heal--or divide--a community. In a tale rich with Southern charm, Rose and Marvina discover through fussing, laughter, and tears that the secret ingredient to a bright future might just be found in facing who they are today--and in forgiving the past to embrace a second chance at sisterhood. "A charming novel about sisterhood, regrets, and second chances ... an utter delight from start to finish."--Terah Shelton Harris, author of One Summer in Savannah

MP3 CD Format #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens returns with a confounding case that sees her favorite sleuths acting to save a friend wrongly accused of murder. When a detested viscount is found murdered by the banks of the Thames and Charlie Hastings becomes the prime suspect, Barnaby and Penelope Adair join forces with Stokes to discover the real story behind the unexpected killing. Charlie Hastings is astonished to find himself accused of murdering Viscount Sedbury. Admittedly, Charlie had two heated altercations with Sedbury in the hours preceding the man's death, but as Charlie is quick to point out to Stokes--and to Barnaby and Penelope--there are a multitude of others in the ton who will be delighted to learn of Sedbury's demise. As Penelope, Barnaby, and Stokes start assembling a suspect list, Charlie's prediction proves only too accurate. Yet the most puzzling aspect is who on earth managed to kill Sedbury. The man was a hulking brute, large, very strong, and known as a vicious brawler. Who managed to subdue him enough to strangle him? As the number of suspects steadily increases, the investigators are forced to ask if, perhaps, one of their suspects hired a killer capable of taking Sedbury down. With that possibility thrown into the calculations, narrowing their suspect list becomes a futile exercise. Their pursuit of the truth leads them to investigate the many shady avenues of Sedbury's life, much to the consternation of Sedbury's father, the Marquess of Rattenby. Rattenby does not want Sedbury's distasteful proclivities exposed for all the world to see, further harming the other family members who Sedbury has taken great delight in tormenting for most of his life. In the end, the resolution of the crime lies in old-fashioned policing coupled with the fresh twists Barnaby and Penelope bring to Scotland Yard's efforts. And when the truth is finally revealed, it raises questions that strike to the very heart of justice and what, with such a victim and such a murderer, true justice actually means.

"O mal-estar na cultura" não é apenas o ensaio mais célebre de Freud, mas uma das obras seminais do século XX. Sem a categoria de "mal-estar" não é possível pensar os destinos do sujeito na atualidade. Por que sentimos que a felicidade é incompatível com as exigências da vida social? Existem formas de vida em que restrições culturais e expectativas de realização pessoal possam viver em harmonia? Por que é tão difícil ser feliz? Perguntas desse tipo fizeram deste ensaio o mais lido da obra de Freud. Neste volume, reunimos os principais textos do autor sobre cultura, sociedade e religião. Não por acaso, a maior parte deles foi escrita em momentos agudos da história da humanidade: a Primeira Guerra, a gripe espanhola, a ascensão do nazifascismo. O que nos ameaça não é apenas a doença ou a morte, mas também a ruptura dos laços sociais e a incerteza do futuro. A crise mundial em que estamos hoje mergulhados - a pandemia que, numa velocidade vertiginosa, aproximou o leste e o oeste, o norte e o sul - não deixa de ser uma oportunidade decisiva de testar a atualidade das categorias freudianas.

MP3 CD Format For fans of The Rose Code and The Librarian Spy comes another literary themed historical novel from the author of The Librarian of Burned Books. Germany, 1946: Emmy Clarke is a librarian not a soldier. But that doesn't stop the Library of Congress from sending her overseas to Germany to help the Monuments Men retrieve and catalog precious literature that was plundered by the Nazis. The Offenbach Archival Depot and its work may get less attention than returning art to its rightful owners, but for Emmy, who sees the personalized messages on the inside of the books and the notes in margins of pages, it feels just as important. On Emmy's first day at work, she finds a poetry collection by Rainer Maria Rilke, and on the title page is a handwritten dedication: "To Annelise, my brave Edelweiss Pirate." Emmy is instantly intrigued by the story behind the dedication and becomes determined to figure out what happened. The hunt for the rightful owner of the book leads Emmy to two sisters, a horrific betrayal, and an extraordinary protest against the Nazis that was held in Berlin at the height of the war. Nearly a decade earlier, hundreds of brave women gathered in the streets after their Jewish husbands were detained by the Gestapo. Through freezing rain and RAF bombings, the women faced down certain death and did what so few others dared to do under the Third Reich. They said no. Emmy grapples with her own ghosts as she begins to wonder if she's just chasing two more. What she finds instead is a powerful story of love, forgiveness, and courage that brings light to even the darkest of postwar days.

Y sigue presente [...] porque es un tipo que nos pertenece todos, porque es un clásico.» Darío Jaramillo La historia de amor entre Fermina Daza y Florentino Ariza, en el escenario de un pueblecito portuario del Caribe y a lo largo de más de sesenta años, podría parecer un melodrama de amantes contrariados que al final vencen por la gracia del tiempo y la fuerza de sus propios sentimientos, ya que García Márquez se complace en utilizar los más clásicos recursos de los folletines tradiciones. Pero este tiempo -por una vez sucesivo, y no circular-, este escenario y estos personajes son como una mezcla tropical de plantas y arcilla que la mano del maestro moldea y con las que fantasea a su placer, para al final ir a desembocar en los territorios del mito y la leyenda. Los jugos, olores y sabores del trópico alimentan una prosa alucinatoria que en esta ocasión llega al puerto oscilante del final feliz. «Era inevitable: el olor de las almendras amargas le recordaba siempre el destino de los amores contrariados. El doctor Juvenal Urbino lo percibió desde que entró en la casa todavía en penumbras, adonde había acudido de urgencia a ocuparse de un caso que para él había dejado de ser urgente desde hacía muchos años. El refugiado antillano Jeremiah de Saint-Amour, inválido de guerra, fotógrafo de niños y su adversario de ajedrez más compasivo, se había puesto a salvo de los tormentos de la memoria con un sahumerio de cianuro de oro. Encontró el cadáver cubierto con una manta en el catre de campaña donde había dormido siempre, cerca de un taburete con la cubeta que había servido para vaporizar el veneno.» La crítica dijo: «La voz garciamarquiana alcanza aquí un nivel en el que resulta a la vez clásica y coloquial, opalescente y pura, capaz de alabar y maldecir, de reír y llorar, de fabular y cantar, de despegar y volar cuando es necesario.» Thomas Pynchon, The New York Times

Description

Dr. Peter Blood is an Irish physician who had a wide-ranging career as a soldier and sailor before settling down to practice medicine in the town of Bridgwater. He wants no part in the rebellion the town is staging in support of James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, but is arrested while attending to some of the rebels' injuries. Blood is convicted of treason and sold into slavery in the Carribean where he is treated well for a slave due to his skill as a physician. When a Spanish force attacks the town, Blood and his fellow slaves steal the Spaniards' ship and become the most feared pirates in the Caribbean. Sabatini was a proponent of basing historical fiction as closely as possible on history. Although Blood is a fictional character, much of the historical background of the novel is based on fact. The Monmouth rebels were sold into slavery as described in the book; and the shifting political alliances of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 are used in the novel as a plot device to allow Blood's return to respectability. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
