"I am an orphan," reflected Lydia Raymond, with immense satisfaction.She was a very intelligent little girl of twelve years old, and she remembered very well that when her father had died out in China, three years ago, it was her mother who had been the centre of attention and compassion. People had spoken about her poor dead father, and had praised him and pitied him, but their real attention had all been for the widow, who was there under their eyes, pathetic and sorrow-stricken. Lydia herself had been "poor little thing," but Grandpapa and her aunts and uncle had all told her that it was her mother who must be thought of now, and she knew that they kept on saying to one another that "the child will be a comfort to poor Mary." Her own individuality, which she felt so strongly, did not seem to count at all, and Lydia had, quite silently, resented that intensely, ever since she could remember anything at all.

Little golden cloudlets, like winged living creatures, were hanging high up in the rosy glow above Santa Maria della Salute, and all along the Grand Canal the crowded gondolas were floating in a golden haze, and all the westward-facing palace windows flashed and shone with an illumination which the lamps and lanterns that were to be lighted after sundown could never equal, burnt they never so merrily. It was Shrove Tuesday in Venice, Carnival time. The sun had been shining on the city and on the lagunes all day long. It was one of those Shrove Tuesdays which recall the familiar proverb"Sunshine at Carnival,Fireside at Easter."

The last notes of a favorite waltz resounded through the splendid saloons of Mrs. Montresors mansion in Grosvenor Square; sparkling eyes and glittering jewels flashed in the lamp-light; the rival queens of rank and beauty shone side by side upon the aristocratic crowd; the rich perfumes of exotic blossoms floated on the air; brave men and lovely women were met together to assist the farewell ball given by the wealthy American, Mrs. Montresor, on her departure for New Orleans with her lovely niece, Adelaide Horton, whose charming face and sprightly manners had been the admiration of all London during the season of 1860.The haughty English beauties were by no means pleased to see the sensation made by the charms of the vivacious young American, whose brilliant and joyous nature contrasted strongly with the proud and languid daughters of fashion who entrenched themselves behind a barrier of icy reserve, which often repelled their admirers.

Vivemos em uma era de extremos. De um lado, estamos rodeados por tecnologias de ponta, possibilidades infinitas e avanços científicos impressionantes; do outro, enfrentamos catástrofes ambientais, guerras interminaveis, desigualdades sociais esmagadoras e crises espirituais sem precedentes. Em meio a esse cenario, a indiferença se tornou nossa maior aliada e nosso maior inimigo. As pessoas seguem com suas rotinas, pagando contas, fazendo negocios, casando e divorciando, como se o mundo no estivesse a beira de um colapso. Enquanto continuamos a lucrar com a destruiço, a exploraço e o vicio, a sensaço de que ja vivemos em um apocalipse silencioso se torna inevitavel.

Ill do anything for you. I can do anything for you.Nikita and Riya are two South Asian sisters: insecure, stateless and desperate for somewhere to call home.Nikitas work with young migrants requires her to keep her saviour complex in check as she negotiates the challenges and hypocrisy of the third sector. Meanwhile, Riya is offered the chance to create an advocate in the form of a homunculus (or fawn), and sees a chance to elevate herself above the cruelty meted out to others.Sonali Bhattacharyyas play King Troll (The Fawn) is a dark and dystopian exploration of migrant experiences in all their complexity and the troll that lives within all of us, whispering me, not us, and definitely me first.

Flores Mortas é uma novela de época sobre os mistérios do além-túmulo. Dentre os vários fascínios sobre os quais gosto de escrever, acabo sempre tendendo para assuntos relacionados ao sobrenatural. Quando foi escrita pela primeira vez, Flores Mortas limitava-se a um pequenino conto de apenas vinte paginas. O misterio acerca das vidas passadas envolvera a trama em seu climax, guiando-a ate o final. Decada de 20. Aqui, Frederico sonha todas as noites com algumas pessoas desconhecidas, em uma cidade bem distante da sua; gente que ele nunca viu na vida. Estes choram por sua morte e clamam pela sua volta. Ao mesmo tempo em que ignora os sonhos, acaba por casar-se com Ariel, o amor da sua vida. Todavia, Ariel no podera lhe dar filhos: Ela e esteril. Acabam por adotar Mateus, uma criança incomum e cheia de problemas. Mateus acabara encontrando a morte precocemente, sobre as flores do jardim da casa. Com a morte do filho adotivo, a rotina do casal passa a desgastar-se. Ao mesmo tempo, os sonhos de Frederico começam a atormenta-lo cada vez mais. Ele decide, em determinado momento, abandonar Ariel e correr atras do significado destes devaneios. Uma voz, em algum lugar do mundo, solicita sua presença; e, de acordo com esta voz, a morte de Mateus no foi por acaso.
