Story
Extraída da obra "A alma encantadora das ruas" a crônica "As mariposas do luxo" explora os desejos de mulheres simples, que não têm dinheiro para ostentar luxos, ao observar os produtos expostos nas vitrines da rua do Ouvidor, no Rio de Janeiro. É a crueza obscura da sociedade explorada com brilhantismo por João do Rio: "A rua não lhes apresenta só o amor, o namoro, o desvio... Apresenta-lhes o luxo. E cada montra é a hipnose e cada rayon de modas é o foco em torno do qual reviravolteiam e anseiam as pobres mariposas".

Em meio a um elegante chá frequentado pela alta sociedade carioca, o recorrente personagem Barão Belfort conta à audiência uma triste história por ele vivenciada, que culmina com o enterro da jovem Carlota Paes. A pobre menina, romântica ao extremo, levava um dura vida com a mãe, e sobrevivia à custa de... música! Alguém na vizinhança tocava piano e a melodia era como que alimento para a jovem.

Story
O leitor há de se envolver nessa narrativa, estimulado pelo narrador que conta a história da atriz Irene de Souza e interage com ela! Inveja e muita fofoca orbitam o sucesso de Irene, que, no entanto, mostra-se fiel ao companheiro Agostinho Azambuja. Demora, mas o narrador cede à crença de que a personagem muito bem construída por João do Rio não tem amantes. Até que um amigo lhe chama a atenção para um detalhe.

Story
"Todos esses nomes ignorados escondem dramas pungentes, cenas de horror, vidas perdidas." Esse trecho extraído da crônica "Os que começam" resume bem a proposta de João do Rio – inclusive trazendo o adjetivo que melhor qualifica a descrição da vida das crianças abandonadas nas ruas do Rio de Janeiro: "pungente". Personagens e suas histórias são pinçados pelo narrador; mudam-se os nomes, fica o substrato.

Um conto sombrio em que o comércio e o consumo de ópio – envolvendo sobretudo a comunidade chinesa – movem os personagens. E os leitores.

Flanando com o narrador pelas ruas ruas adormecidas, o leitor pode se sentir num filme "noir" – até porque seu enredo implica acompanhar um delegado nas rondas noturnas, dando um tom policial à narrativa, tão caro a essa modalidade de literatura.

"Falavam uma língua imprevista e curiosa, cuspinhando; e olhando as pobres coitadas, não sabia eu bem se falava a mulheres velhas ou a mulheres novas, de tal forma aquelas faces e aqueles corpos estavam arruinados." A crueza da narrativa de João do Rio não poderia retratar melhor a realidade da detenção feminina no Rio de Janeiro da virada do século XIX para o século XX. O narrador presente circula pelo "locus" do enredo, tornando ainda mais vívida ao leitor essa experiência.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.
