Story
In this classic work of psychological terror, Paul Bowles examines the ways in which Americans apprehend an alien culture—and the ways in which their incomprehension destroys them. The story of three American travelers adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after World War II, The Sheltering Sky is at once merciless and heartbreaking in its compassion. It etches the limits of human reason and intelligence—perhaps even the limits of human life—when they touch the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of the desert.

Story
Three gentlemen not wholly useless to their country—a lawyer, a banker, and a cabinet minister—have suddenly fallen into a state of profound ennui. Each seeks to rediscover the comfort of their lives through ‘the tonic of difficulty': adopting the nom de guerre of ‘John Macnab', they take to poaching in the Highlands of Scotland, issuing challenges to three landowners and declaring their intention to take a salmon or a stag on their lands between specific dates. But can they overcome the challenges they have set themselves, and escape with their reputations intact?

Story
As a billionaire CEO, I’m used to getting my way—in business and pleasure. Until I hired my best friend's little sister as my assistant. Violet Carter challenges me in ways no woman has before. And her boldness impresses me as much as it infuriates me. I try to deny the magnetic pull between us, but when a work getaway turns into sharing a bed, resistance becomes impossible.

Story
In this classic work of psychological terror, Paul Bowles examines the ways in which Americans apprehend an alien culture—and the ways in which their incomprehension destroys them. The story of three American travelers adrift in the cities and deserts of North Africa after World War II, The Sheltering Sky is at once merciless and heartbreaking in its compassion. It etches the limits of human reason and intelligence—perhaps even the limits of human life—when they touch the unfathomable emptiness and impassive cruelty of the desert.

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.

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.

The missing-persons case of Heather Strong, a young, beautiful suburban mother, baffled Florida detectives. When the file was handed to a veteran investigator, he knew Heather was dead. The challenge was to find her body - and whoever killed her. Soon a sordid triangle of sex, jealousy, and rage came to light. The killers were cunning, manipulative, depraved - and they were as close to Heather as a man and a woman could possibly be.

Ao longo de sua trajetória política, Jair Bolsonaro vem colecionando episódios de desprezo aos valores democráticos, como o elogio à tortura durante a votação do impeachment da presidente Dilma Rousseff no Congresso Nacional. Eleito ao posto mais alto da República, seu uso político das Forças Armadas, a constante divulgação de mentiras, a demolição do projeto de preservação ambiental e de proteção aos povos indígenas, a sistemática intimidação às instituições, além do descaso com as medidas de controle da pandemia de covid-19 e suas vítimas dão o tom de seu governo.

Em agosto de 2016, quando o Congresso afastou definitivamente a presidente Dilma Rousseff, o desemprego abatia mais de 12 milhões de brasileiros.
