Story
Uma deliciosa reunião de contos de Lima Barreto! Em "Coisas parlamentares", a crítica ao exército se torna palpável no debate que busca a criação de novos cargos: "a alma dos exércitos é a hierarquia, e esta só pode ser eficaz com uma boa lei de promoções"... Em "Um debate acadêmico", o autor ridiculariza a academia, trazendo o recorte de um debate de cunho etimológico que beira o nonsense.

Este delicioso conto de Lima Barreto tem como pano de fundo a Argélia do início da exploração francesa. E conta a história do jovem Hussein Ben-Áli Al-Bálec, "vaidoso, presunçoso, ávido (...), somítico e avaro" e seu tio Miqueias Habacuc, em nada melhor que o sobrinho. Juntos, eles dão um golpe na família e na população do vilarejo em que viviam, deixando todos na miséria – menos um tio que não era ganancioso.

No conto "Uma noite no lírico", Lima Barreto faz uso de um narrador voyeur, emergente, para criticar toda a alta sociedade do seu tempo – um retrato vivaz que tem por pano de fundo o Teatro Lírico. Em "Um músico extraordinário", por sua vez, o enredo se concentra no personagem Ezequiel. Fã ardoroso de Júlio Verne na adolescência, passa por inúmeros experiências ao redor do mundo e acaba por se transformar num adulto sem foco e falido – apesar de se considerar um músico extraordinário!

"Ensinava para vestir-se e comer. E todos que o conheciam desde menino admiravam-se que, ao infante galhardo dos seus primeiros anos, se houvesse substituído nele um rapaz macambúzio, isolado, amargo" – eis a descrição de Harakashy, o personagem cuja vida é contada pelo narrador neste conto de Lima Barreto. O autor o faz com boa dose de ironia, já que, na descrição da sociedade javanesa, faz referência às própria mazelas do meio universitário brasileiro de sua época.

Já em "Uma vagabunda", o autor faz um retrato fiel da boemia carioca da virada do século, ao narrar um recorte da vida da personagem Alzira, pela voz do narrador, que com ela interage – e aprende.

"Eficiência militar: historieta chinesa" é pra lá de atual: trata da corrupção no exército chinês, com muita ironia, já que a preocupação dos comandantes gira em torno das aparências. Em "Três gênios de secretaria", uma crítica ácida é feita ao nepotismo no funcionalismo público; outra vez, uma narrativa de pungente atualidade. Por fim, "Quase ela deu o 'sim'; mas..." traz ao leitor um tema universal: o golpe do baú.

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

Story
Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
