London, 1984. Winston Smith no longer wants to rewrite history to serve the surveillance state of Oceania. When he falls in love with his colleague Julia, they make contact with an underground organisation and want to put an end to the rigid rule of the Party, as the disaster takes its course.Often regarded as one of the most prophetic novels of the 20th century, 1984 still shapes our thinking about surveillance and oppression.

A woman with a successful career in child protection is floored by her husbands sudden death; a retired civil servant smothers his wife, but cant go through with their pact; a teacher fleeing a disastrous school trip finds himself literally in a dark wood.Pascal famously said we shall die alone. But there are always others left behind to grieve, to cheer, to feel guilt, relief or laughter, because we are human, whether we like it or not. In these stories, a dozen characters find at least a dozen ways to live by facing death their own or that of those they love in familiar worlds shot through with a strange absurdity.A man with cancer is employed to smoke by a character from a novel who may never have existed; an historian finds a love he hopes will last beyond the grave, even if it isnt his; a former judge dispenses justice in a prison camp; a randomly-selected Prime Minister confronts the biggest life-or-death decision she or anyone will ever have to take.A Day Like Any Other explores death natural, assisted, promised and unexpected with compassion, wit, a steady gaze and a desire to confront the challenge we mostly prefer to avoid: why live at all? It is the perfect collection for anyone whos going to die one day.

Maybe Penbartha isnt the happy place Olivia thought it was? Is the discontent really about second homes or is someone exploiting a well-supported cause in order to pursue a much more personal agenda? She and Jago need to find the source of the trouble before it gets even closer to home...

Com base em decadas de observaço, investigaço e experiencia pessoal, Dobelli partilha 52 habitos e padres mentais a eliminar se queremos libertar espaço para o que e essencial: clareza, foco, equilibrio e verdadeira felicidade.

A novel of identity and resistance from one of Palestines most striking literary voiceswritten entirely from behind bars Nur, a Palestinian refugee from a camp near Ramallah, is often mistaken for an Ashkenazi Jew. Fluent in Hebrew and with a degree in archaeology, he dreams of freedom beyond the fence, and of writing a novel about Mary Magdalene based on the Gnostic Gospels. When he discovers an Israeli ID card in the pocket of a secondhand coat, he assumes a false identity and is hired for an archaeological dig near Megiddo. Passing as an Israeli, he moves through a world previously off-limits and gains insight into the lives of those hes been taught to perceive as enemies. As Nurs borrowed identity deepens, so does the rift within. Through an exploration of this internal conflict, Bassem Khandaqjis Arabic Booker-winning novel offers a meditation on the personal toll of occupation and the elusive desire to belongfully, honestly, and without fear.

Seleço de versos nascidos entre 1998 e 2022, soletrados principalmente em noites cujas imperfeiçes, em meio a escurido, conseguiram se camuflar com duvidosa eficiencia e nas quais as rimas se conheceram aos tropeços, impunes e desavergonhadas. E fato que algumas tardes intrometidas colaboraram; guardanapos rascunhados em mesinhas de bar com o velho papo de sempre: tempo, saudade, paixo, amor, todos esses elementos com os quais os versos costumam sonhar. E aos quais nos, pobres criaturas sentimentais, nos submetemos com indevida, mas necessaria, intensidade como se no houvesse amanh.

A Scots Quair is revolutionary - innovative in its form, deft and humorous in its use of the Scots language, courageous in its characterisation and politics. Central to the trilogy is Chris Guthrie, one of the most remarkable female characters in modern literature. In Sunset song, Gibbons finest achievement, the reader follows Chris through her girlhood in a tight-knit Scottish farming community: the seasons, the weddings, the funerals, the grind of work, the gossip. As the Great War takes its toll, machines repalce the old way of life. Cloud Howe and Grey Granite take Chris from her rural homeland to life in an industrial Scotland and the desperate years of the Depression. The triology as a whole is a major achievment, a picture of society undergoing traumatic and far-reaching transformation. Always readable, never sentimental, A Scots Quair is one of the most important works of Scottish literature.
