Resultado de um longo trabalho de dez anos de pesquisa, 1808 narra a chegada da família real ao Rio de Janeiro, acossada pelas tropas do imperador francês Napoleão Bonaparte. Nunca algo semelhante havia acontecido na história de Portugal ou de qualquer outro país europeu. Em tempos de guerra, reis e rainhas haviam sido destronados ou obrigados a se refugiar em territórios alheios, mas nenhum deles foi tão longe quanto o príncipe regente Dom João VI, forçado a cruzar um oceano com toda a família real portuguesa para viver e reinar do outro lado do mundo.

Nas últimas semanas de 1889, a tripulação de um navio de guerra brasileira ancorado no porto de Colombo, capital do Ceilão (atual Sri Lanka), foi pega de surpresa pelas notícias alarmantes que chegavam do outro lado do mundo. O Brasil finalmente havia se tornado uma república. Com 67 anos de história, o império brasileiro, tido como a mais sólida, estável e duradoura experiência de governo na América Latina, desabou na manhã de 15 de novembro.

Em 1822, Laurentino Gomes compara diferentes relatos sobre o dia 7 de Setembro e a proclamação da independência. A verdade é que esse fatídico dia foi bem menos épico do que a pintura “Independência ou Morte”, de Pedro Américo, nos mostra. Mais do que desmistificar o grito às margens do Ipiranga, o escritor analisa como Dom Pedro conseguiu, apesar de todas as dificuldades, fazer do Brasil uma nação na sequência das mudanças provocadas pela fuga da família real portuguesa em 1808.

Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles e Beto Sicupira ergueram, em pouco mais de quatro décadas, o maior império da história do capitalismo brasileiro e ganharam uma projeção sem precedentes no cenário mundial. Nos últimos anos eles compraram nada menos que três marcas americanas conhecidas globalmente: Budweiser, Burger King e Heinz. Tudo isso na mais absoluta discrição, esforçando-se para ficar longe dos holofotes. Sonho grande é o relato detalhado dos bastidores da trajetória desses empresários desde a fundação do banco Garantia, nos anos 70, até os dias de hoje.

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.

A elite do atraso se tornou um clássico contemporâneo da sociologia brasileira, um livro fundamental de Jessé Souza. Por meio de uma linguagem fluente, irônica e ousada, Jessé apresenta uma nova visão sobre as causas da desigualdade que marca nosso país e reescreve a história da nossa sociedade. No âmago da interpretação de Jessé não está a corrupção política. Para ele, a questão a partir da qual se deve explicar a história passada e atual do Brasil - e de suas classes, portanto - não é outra senão a escravidão.

Publisher's summary
Do autor dos best-sellers 1808, 1822 e 1889
As raízes do Brasil com o corpo na América e a alma na África
Maior território escravista do hemisfério ocidental, o Brasil recebeu cerca de 5 milhões de cativos africanos, 40% do total de 12,5 milhões embarcados para a América ao longo de três séculos e meio. Como resultado, o país tem hoje a maior população negra do planeta, com exceção apenas da Nigéria. Foi também, entre os países do Novo Mundo, o que mais tempo resistiu a acabar com o tráfico de pessoas e o último a abolir o cativeiro, por meio da Lei Áurea de 1888—quatro anos depois de Porto Rico e dois depois de Cuba.
Nenhum outro assunto é tão importante e tão definidor da nossa identidade nacional quanto a escravidão. Conhecê-lo ajuda a explicar o que fomos no passado, o que somos hoje e também o que seremos daqui para a frente. Em um texto impactante e rigorosamente documentado, Laurentino Gomes lança o primeiro volume de sua nova trilogia, resultado de 6 anos de pesquisas, que incluíram viagens por 12 países e 3 continentes.
Please note: This audiobook is in Portuguese.

In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

How did the Wendels, one of New York’s most famous Gilded Age families, disappear from history? The Wendels built a fortune from New York real estate, and rubbed shoulders with the Astors, Vanderbilts, and Stuyvesants. But as the 19th century came to an end, the Wendel family tore itself apart. Following six years of painstaking archival research, Claire Prentice has prised open the door of the Wendels’ Fifth Avenue mansion—dubbed “the house of mystery” by the press—to reveal a fascinating and dysfunctional family imprisoned in a gilded cage.

The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.
