Story
"A intensa vida sexual arredondou-lhe as formas, disfarçou as arestas e as anfractuosidades – emprestou-lhe beleza" – o tom cru da descrição naturalista comanda essa narrativa excepcional de Lima Barreto, que tem por protagonista a infeliz Adélia, vítima da sociedade em que vive. Em "Sua excelência", por sua vez, o que o leitor encontra é um exemplo ancestral da literatura fantástica, em que o devaneio de um cocheiro e a vaidade de um ministro se misturam.

Romance inacabado de Lima Barreto, O Cemitério dos Vivos foi escrito durante o segundo período no qual o autor foi paciente do Hospital de Alienados, no Rio de Janeiro.

Story
Quatro contos curtinhos de Lima Barreto aqui reunidos! "Um candidato" é uma sátira bem-humorada à classe política, centrada na figura de um candidato declaradamente corrupto. Em "Um bom diretor", conto tido como inacabado, uma nova crítica é direcionada à classe política, dessa vez pela nomeação inadequada de um profissional de educação. "A consulta" é um flash sobre a cena urbana do Rio de Janeiro, que lança luz sobre a prostituição da época. Por fim, "Que rua é esta?" tem como alvo da crítica a polícia, tão distante da realidade da cidade que sequer conhece sua principal rua!

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.

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.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. 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.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. 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.

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.
