In 1945, Edith Farnsworth asked the German architect Mies van der Rohe, already renowned for his avant-garde buildings, to design a weekend home for her outside of Chicago. Edith was a woman ahead of her time—unmarried, she was a distinguished medical researcher, as well as an accomplished violinist, translator, and poet. The two quickly began spending weekends together, talking philosophy, Catholic mysticism, and, of course, architecture over wine-soaked picnic lunches.

¡Busca a tus hermanas y apretaos los corsés! Esta es una nueva versión, distinta a todas, de la entrañable novela de Jane Austen Orgullo y prejuicio. Interpretada por un extraordinario elenco y con banda sonora original de la compositora nominada a un Grammy Morgan Kibby. Elizabeth Bennet no piensa conformarse con cualquier hombre ni, para el caso, con cualquier vida que no se adapte a sus gustos. Se casará por amor, bailará cuando le apetezca y —a poder ser— buscará un lugar tranquilo donde leer sin que la interrumpan.

Scoprite il mondo interiore di Elizabeth, dove la ragione duella con il cuore nel tentativo di conciliare l'orgoglio dell'identità con la vulnerabilità del sentimento.

If you live in one of the Ven Domes that fill the Aristarchus Crater with over 300 square miles of habitat, you know both the social mobility and longevity that defines the Union. The world is your proverbial oyster. The Union? If Luna Rules, the Union rules Luna and, except for bits of Mars and a few of the older Asteroid Mining Habitats. Some call it a Gerontocracy. ...

Published in 1919, Woolf's early novel unfolds in Edwardian London, where Katherine Hilbery, the granddaughter of a celebrated poet, navigates questions of marriage, independence and intellectual freedom. Her forthright acquaintance, Mary Datchet, a suffragist committed to political change, carries a contrasting vision of life and love, and her opinions throw Katherine's choices into sharp relief. While more traditional in form than Woolf's later works, Night and Day reveals her emerging mastery of psychological depth and subtle irony.

After 18 years as a political prisoner in the Bastille, the ageing Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.

Published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with 'damnable young man' Edward Hyde, the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer, and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil. The other stories in this volume also testify to Stevenson's inventiveness within the Gothic genre.

In The Canterbury Tales Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature, a masterly collection of chivalric romances, moral allegories and low farce. A story-telling competition between a group of pilgrims from all walks of life is the occasion for a series of tales that range from the Knight's account of courtly love and the ebullient Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend, to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook.

Depois de mais de vinte anos, a inflação voltou a visitar o patamar de dois dígitos. Em agosto de 2016, quando o Congresso afastou definitivamente a presidente Dilma Rousseff, o desemprego abatia mais de 12 milhões de brasileiros.
