Num lugar quase deserto, que subverte as regras do tempo, so muitas as perguntas e poucas as respostas quanto ao sentido da vida. Tudo parece afunilar para a desistencia, mas a esperança regressa quando surge uma criança que lança perguntas ao mundo.Um jovem casal em crise abandona a cidade onde vive e parte para uma aldeia remota no interior de Espanha, em busca de uma vida mais simples e despojada. O que veem e isto: uns quantos casinhotos e hortas, e um punhado de homens e mulheres empedernidos, que falam o minimo. O que no querem ver so os seus proprios demonios, vazios e abismos, que ameaçam fazer ruir o que os levou ate ali. Ate ao dia em que uma mulher aparece acompanhada de uma menina, filha de todos e de ninguem, e vem mostrar que, enquanto houver uma criança a fazer perguntas ao mundo, a vida existe, tal como ha luz enquanto o pavio da vela arder. Polifonico e sombrio, eis um romance que mergulha nos abismos mais fundos, onde a falta de luz e sempre a maior ameaça.Os elogios da critica:Uma das mais destacadas escritoras da sua geraço.El PaisMoreno escreve com a austeridade de um relojoeiro.El Cultural de El MundoA escrita de Lara Moreno mergulha nos abismos da realidade.

"One man, one island, and twenty-eight years of impossible survival."Against the advice of his father, young Robinson Crusoe sets out to sea in search of adventure. His journey ends in disaster when a violent storm shipwrecks him on a remote, uninhabited island off the coast of South America. Armed with only the meager supplies he can salvage from the wreck, Crusoe must reinvent civilization from scratch. From building a fortified home and taming wild goats to the psychological battle against utter loneliness, his story is a gripping account of how the human spirit triumphs over isolation. But when he discovers a single footprint in the sand, Crusoe realizes he may not be as alone as he thought.The Master of Realism: Daniel Defoes writing was so detailed and "journalistic" that many original readers believed it was a true autobiography. His meticulous descriptions of how Crusoe makes pottery, bakes bread, and sews clothes from goatskins turned the struggle for survival into a fascinating technical achievement.A Complex Partnership: The arrival of Friday, a man Crusoe rescues from cannibals, marks a turning point in the novel. Their relationship explores themes of language, culture, and companionship, even as it reflects the colonial perspectives of the 18th century. Together, they transform the island from a prison into a home.Why It Is a Global Icon: Robinson Crusoe created the "Robinsonade" genre, inspiring everything from Swiss Family Robinson to modern survival films. It is a profound meditation on faith, the value of hard work, and the incredible things a human being can accomplish when forced to rely solely on their own mind and hands.Embark on the original castaway adventure.

"Not every ghost haunts a castle; some haunt the open road in the midday sun."In this chilling collection, Rudyard Kipling proves that the bright sun of the Indian subcontinent can be just as terrifying as a dark English manor. The title story, The Phantom Rickshaw, follows Jack Pansay, a man haunted by the literal apparition of the woman he spurneda ghost that only he can see, appearing in a yellow-paneled rickshaw amidst the fashionable crowds of Simla. From the claustrophobic nightmare of a "living graveyard" in The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes to the eerie whispers of the supernatural in the barracks, Kipling explores the thin veil between reality and madness. These are not just ghost stories; they are psychological thrillers that examine guilt, isolation, and the uncanny friction between East and West.The Horror of the Mind: What makes Kiplings ghosts so effective is their ambiguity. Is Jack Pansay truly seeing a specter, or is he crumbling under the weight of his own moral failures? Kipling was a pioneer of the "psychological ghost," where the supernatural serves as a manifestation of a characters internal decay.The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes: Often considered a precursor to modern "weird fiction," this standout story features a man trapped in a literal pit of the "living dead." It is a visceral, terrifying exploration of social collapse and the loss of reason that remains one of Kiplings most disturbing achievements.Why It Is a Must-Read: The Phantom Rickshaw offers a unique perspective on the Victorian ghost story. By transplanting gothic tropes into the vivid, dusty, and complex landscape of India, Kipling created a brand of horror that feels both exotic and intimately human. It is essential reading for fans of classic suspense and anyone interested in the darker side of the colonial imagination.Experience the ghosts of the Himalayas.

"A kingdom divided, a knight disinherited, and the return of a King."England is a land of tension. While King Richard the Lionheart languishes in an Austrian prison, his brother Prince John plots to seize the crown, fanning the flames of hatred between the conquered Saxons and the ruling Normans. Into this volatile world returns Wilfred of Ivanhoe, a Saxon knight cast out by his father for his loyalty to the Norman King. From the thrilling tournament at Ashby-de-la-Zouch to the siege of Torquilstone Castle, Ivanhoe brings the 1190s to life with unrivaled color. Featuring legendary figures like Robin Hood (Locksley) and the heroic Rebecca of York, Scotts novel is a pulse-pounding journey through a world of outlaws, Templars, and the code of honor that binds them.The Rebirth of Robin Hood: Sir Walter Scott is largely responsible for the modern image of Robin Hood as a noble outlaw and a brilliant archer. By weaving "Locksley" into the political struggle of the novel, Scott transformed a collection of folk ballads into a cohesive national myth that still dominates our screens today.The Complexity of Chivalry: While the novel celebrates bravery, it also questions the cost of the knightly code. Through the tragic figure of Rebecca, the Jewish healer, Scott explores prejudice and religious intolerance, making Ivanhoe a surprisingly modern critique of societal divisions.Why It Is a Literary Landmark: Ivanhoe did for the Middle Ages what Star Wars did for space; it created an entire aesthetic of heroism. It moved historical fiction away from dry facts and into the realm of high adventure, making it a foundation stone for all fantasy and historical drama that followed.Answer the call of the trumpet.

Caesar is alone at night in the Egyptian desert, apostrophizing a statue of the Sphinx. Caesar is startled when a young girl, Cleopatra, addresses him from the paws of the Sphinx. He climbs up to her, thinking he is dreaming. She is full of superstitions about cats and Nile water.She tells Caesar she is there because the Romans are coming to eat her people. Caesar sees that he is not dreaming and identifies himself to Cleopatra as a Roman. She is terror-stricken, but Caesar tells her that he will eat her unless she can show herself to him as a woman, not a girl. Cleopatra puts herself in the hands of this Roman and they move to her throne room. Caesar tries to persuade Cleopatra to act like a queen; Ftatateeta enters and begins to order Cleopatra about until the nurse is chased from the room. Caesar orders Cleopatras servants to dress her in her royal robes. When Roman soldiers enter and salute Caesar, Cleopatra finally realizes who he is and, with a sob of relief, falls into his arms.The ten-year-old king Ptolemy is delivering a speech from the throne in Alexandria, prompted by his tutor and guardian. Caesar enters and demands taxes, then calls for Cleopatra.

Jane Eyre is the story of a young, orphaned girl (shockingly, shes named Jane Eyre) who lives with her aunt and cousins, the Reeds, at Gateshead Hall. Like all nineteenth-century orphans, her situation pretty much sucks.Mrs. Reed hates Jane and allows her son John to torment the girl. Even the servants are constantly reminding Jane that shes poor and worthless. At the tender age of ten, Jane rises up against this treatment and tells them all exactly what she thinks of them. (We wish we couldve been there to hear it!) Shes punished by being locked in "the red room," the bedroom where her uncle died, and she has a hysterical fit when she thinks his ghost is appearing. After this, nobody knows what to do with her, so they send her away to a religious boarding school for orphansLowood Institute.At Lowood, which is run by the hypocritical ogre Mr. Brocklehurst, the students never have enough to eat or warm clothes. However, Jane finds a pious friend, Helen Burns, and a sympathetic teacher, Miss Temple. Under their influence, she becomes an excellent student, learning all the little bits and pieces of culture that made up a ladys education in Victorian England.

The village lay under two feet of snow, with drifts at the windy corners. In a sky of iron the points of the Dipper hung like icicles and Orion flashed his cold fires. The moon had set, but the night was so transparent that the white house-fronts between the elms looked gray against the snow, clumps of bushes made black stains on it, and the basement windows of the church sent shafts of yellow light far across the endless undulations.Young Ethan Frome walked at a quick pace along the deserted street, past the bank and Michael Eadys new brick store and Lawyer Varnums house with the two black Norway spruces at the gate. Opposite the Varnum gate, where the road fell away toward the Corbury valley, the church reared its slim white steeple and narrow peristyle.As the young man walked toward it the upper windows drew a black arcade along the side wall of the building, but from the lower openings, on the side where the ground sloped steeply down to the Corbury road, the light shot its long bars, illuminating many fresh furrows in the track leading to the basement door, and showing, under an adjoining shed, a line of sleighs with heavily blanketed horses.

Kangaroo is an account of a visit to New South Wales by an English writer named Richard Lovat Somers, and his German wife Harriet, in the early 1920s. This appears to be semi-autobiographical, based on a three-month visit to Australia by Lawrence and his wife Frieda, in 1922.The novel includes a chapter ("Nightmare") describing the Somers experiences in wartime Cornwall (St Columb Major), vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape, and Richard Somers sceptical reflections on fringe politics in Sydney.Australian journalist Robert Darroch in several articles in the late 1970s, and a 1981 book entitled D.H. Lawrence in Australia claimed that Lawrence based Kangaroo on real people and events he witnessed in Australia.The extent to which this is true remains a matter of controversy particularly by Joseph Davis in his 1989 "D.H. Lawrence at Thirroul"(Collins, Sydney). Davis is sympathetic to the view that "Kangaroo" may be based on real events but argues that it is impossible that Lawrence had time to meet clandestine political leaders in Sydney when he was too busy writing his novel in Thirroul.

After the conclusion of a stormy engagement with her reckless and selfish cousin George, Alice Vavasor, a young woman with an independent fortune, engaged herself to a country gentleman, John Grey. The marriage was approved by her father and her highly placed relatives, but Georges sister Kate persuaded her that she was not adapted to the quiet life of the country, and she broke her engagement.Kate was anxious that Alice should marry George to assist him in a parliamentary career, and she weakly consented to renew her engagement, although with a stipulation that the marriage should he postponed for a year. Georges grandfather, whose death he had been eagerly anticipating, disinherited him, and in his disappointment and anger he demanded that Alice furnish the funds to pay his election bills.Mr. Grey learned of this and provided 4,000, presumably from Alices account. George won the election and took his seat, but shortly after was compelled to contest again and lost. When he learned of Mr.Greys intervention, he was so furiously angry that he tried to kill him. Finally, finding himself without friends or funds, he emigrated to America.

Come and hear all ye that fearGod, and I will declare what He hathDone for my soul.Psalm lxvi. 16.The text in this edition is as nearly as possible that of the eighth, which was corrected by Bunyan himself a few weeks before his death. The text of A Relation is that of the first edition of 1765. A few minor changes have been introduced for the convenience of the reader. The use of capital letters has been considerably modified, and the orthography has been in places modernized. In some few instances the Scripture references have been added to quotations where they did not appear in the original. It must be remembered that Bunyan often quoted Scripture inexactly, and it has not been deemed necessary to make all his quotations follow the text of the Authorized Version.The marginal summary is not part of the original, but has been prepared for this edition in order that it may correspond with the Societys editions of the Pilgrims Progress.The illustrations have been prepared for this work by Mr. Harold Copping, whose illustrations to the Pilgrims Progress have justly attracted much attention.

Doctor Thorne remains indisputably one of Trollopes greatest achievements. Paradoxically, it was not a favourite with its author, but then, as so often, he was a poor judge of his own work. Interestingly, the plot was devised not by the author but by his brother Tom with whom he was staying in Florence when, as he confessed, I was cudgelling my brain for a plot.Frank Gresham is heir to Greshamsbury Court, once a very rich estate but now much depleted, mortgages on the estate being held by the self-made millionaire Sir Roger Scatcherd. Frank is consequently under a great deal of pressure to marry money; particular pressure is applied by his mother, the snobbish sister of the Earl de Courcy, but Frank is in love with Mary Thorne, niece of the eponymous Doctor with whom she lives.However, it is known only to Doctor Thorne that Mary is in fact Sir Rogers eldest neice, albeit illegitimate: Sir Roger, a stone-cutter who has made his fortune through ruthless business dealings and has been ennobled because of his success, is paradoxically a drunkard and an ex-convict, a result of killing his sisters seducer, Mary Thornes father, many years before.
