O mais importante romance brasileiro de todos os tempos. Moderno avant la lettre, revolucionário na forma fragmentária, no tempo narrativo não-linear, no estilo realista-irônico, é ao mesmo tempo um dos mais agudos retratos das elites brasileiras - além de repositório de algumas das passagens mais famosas da literatura em língua portuguesa.

Story
O romance conta a história de Leonardo, menino travesso que, quando cresceu, virou um sargento de milícias. A narrativa, de estilo jornalístico e direto, incorpora a linguagem das ruas, fugindo aos padrões românticos da época, em que os romances retratavam os ambientes aristocráticos. A leitura de Gustavo Rocha valoriza a caracterização dos personagens, da jovem Luísa, que começa todas as suas frases com a palavra "qual", aos velhos portugueses, que participam de divertidos diálogos.

Anton Tchekhov (1860 - 1904) é leitura obrigatória não só para quem está ligado ao teatro ou à literatura mas para quem se interessa em observar o ser humano. Às vezes, muito divertido, às vezes, dramático, Tchekhov tece sua prosa com todos os fios da alma humana. Nela cabem toda a grandeza e toda a mesquinhez inerentes ao ser humano.

O Livro do Desassossego, assinado por um dos heterônimos de Fernando Pessoa, Bernardo Soares, é considerado um dos trabalhos mais importantes do autor, e tido por ele mesmo como uma "autobiografia sem fatos". Composto de fragmentos organizados em uma narrativa não propriamente linear, o texto publicado em 1913 reflete sobre as relações humanas de forma filosófica e inovadora, mantendo-se atual até os dias de hoje.

Story
Macunaíma, o herói sem nenhum caráter é um canto vazado na língua portuguesa falada em nosso país. A saga de Macunaíma - Imperador do Mato - começa quando ele perde sua muiraquitã, um amuleto de pedra que havia ganhado de Ci, a Mãe do Mato. Acompanhado de seus irmãos Maanape e Jiguê, o herói viaja para o Sul em busca do amuleto, que estava em poder do fazendeiro peruano Venceslau Pietro Pietra. Encantado com a "civilização moderna", Macunaíma, de certa forma, se vê dividido entre seu reino e as maravilhas de "São Paulo, a maior cidade do universo".

Shakespeare se tornou o dramaturgo mais conhecido de todos os tempos por várias razões: era genial com as palavras, entendia a alma humana como ninguém e falava de temas universais. No entanto, parte de sua popularidade se deve aos irmãos Charles e Mary Lamb, que, ao adaptarem vinte peças para o formato de conto, tornaram as histórias do autor inglês acessíveis a pessoas de diferentes idades e gêneros, em diversas partes do mundo. Publicados em 1807, os contos dos Lamb eram destinados apenas ao público infantojuvenil e jovens senhoras....

Nação que absorveu mais imigrantes que nenhuma outra na história, que respeita as diferenças criando etiquetas para as minorias, que incorpora cientistas do mundo todo em suas melhores universidades, que espalhou para o mundo o cinema e o jazz, séries de tv e calças jeans....

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Zoe didn't meet her daughter the way most mothers do. She finds five-year-old Maddie alone and dirty on a countryside road. Frightened for Maddie's safety, she picks her up and takes her back to her father, not knowing what she's about to step into. Because Maddie wasn't just lost; she was there to lure her serial killer dad's new victim. After escaping from the clutches of Maddie's dangerous father, she bonds with the little girl. Only Maddie knows what it was like to be at that house. And when no family members come forward to claim Maddie, Zoe decides to adopt her.

Story
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson. Before they were household names, these budding legends called Sue’s Nashville apartment—lovingly dubbed the “Boar’s Nest”—home. Sue’s place was an intimate staging ground where a new breed of singer-songwriters—wounded souls, wayward upstarts—would spur each other on to tap into something bigger, realer.

Lima Barreto: underappreciated
The prejudice against Afro-Brazilians is not new. Lima Barreto is arguably among the immortals of the world literature. Yet, even today, Lima Barreto is not sufficiently appreciated in Brazil and elsewhere. His style is elegant, economic, and innovator, helping pave the road for the modernism in Brazil.
