Un momento tragico della storia d'Europa, sullo sfondo del salazarismo portoghese, del fascismo italiano e della guerra civile spagnola, nel racconto di Pereira, un testimone preciso che rievoca il mese cruciale della sua vita. Chi raccoglie la testimonianza di Pereira, redatta con la logica stringente dei capitoli del romanzo, impeccabilmente aperti e chiusi dalla formula da verbale che ne costituisce il titolo: Sostiene Pereira?

Personaxes que fian unha disparatada trama na que a risa esta mais que garantida.E tamen, como e norma do autor, unha obra que nos vai facer pensar, entre gargallada e gargallada, ainda que so sexa un pouquiño.

Quando um jovem professor decide aceitar a mão que o destino lhe estende, longe está de imaginar que, desse momento em diante, de mero espectador passará a narrador e personagem da sua própria vida. Na aldeia dos avós, no Alentejo mais profundo, Joaquim Baiôa, velho faz-tudo, decidiu recuperar as casas que os proprietários haviam votado ao abandono e assim reabilitar Gorda-e-Feia, antes que a morte a venha reclamar. Eis, pois, o pretexto ideal para uma pausa no ensino e o sossegar de um quotidiano apressado imposto pela modernidade. Mas, em Gorda-e-Feia, a morte insiste em sair a rua, e a pacatez por que o jovem professor ansiava torna-se um tempo a míngua, enquanto, juntamente com Baiôa, tenta lutar contra a desertificação de um mundo condenado. Num romance que tanto tem de poético como de irónico, repleto de personagens memoráveis e de exuberância imaginativa, e construído como uma teia que se adensa ao ritmo da leitura, Rui Couceiro põe frente a frente dois mundos antagónicos, o urbano e o rural, e duas gerações que se encontram a meio caminho, sobre o pó que ali se tinge de vermelho, o mais novo a espera, o mais velho sem data para morrer.

Everybody who is anybody is seen at Gatsby's glittering parties. None of the socialites understand Gatsby. He seems to always be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. But as the tragic story unfolds, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed.

From the international best-selling author of The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon comes a dazzling new work of historical fiction. In the New Testament, we are told that Jesus resurrected a beloved friend named Lazarus from the dead. Missing from the Gospel is a description of how Jesus accomplished this miracle and if he had a special purpose for saving his companion.Acclaimed and best-selling historical novelist Richard Zimler takes up the tale, and through the eyes of the troubled Lazarus, recreates the story of the Passion. Returned to life, Lazarus has difficulties regaining his previous identity and confidence. His experience of death has left him fragile and disoriented. Worse still, he has seen nothing of any afterlife.As Lazarus turns more and more to Jesus for guidance and answers, watching as his friend's mystical powers grow, along with his cult, he finds that their lives are now politically and, therefore, dangerously entwined.In an often surprising and subtle portrayal, Zimler places Jesus in his historical context of ancient Jewish practise and traditions; at once a charismatic Rabbi and political activist, who used his knowledge of a transcendent reality - the Kingdom of Heaven - to bring justice and compassion to his time and place.Through Lazarus, Zimler makes the familiar story new and finds fresh meaning and poignancy in the Passion and Crucifixion.

A poesía de Rosalía de Castro agroma nun triángulo de furias: a reivindicación das mulleres; a meniña gaiteira que tatexa palabras inaugurais dunha nación non prevista; e a ira contra a precariedade, a compaixon polas persoas inocentes e tristes, a certeza da vulnerabilidade. Nese triangulo de furias afirmase a Rosalia feminista. Dalle voz a moza, a violada, a solteira, a vella, a nai obrigada a deixar o fillo so, as mulleres confinadas entre o amor romantico e unha idea estreita de familia. Avisa dos perigos do gaiteiro da festa, do emigrante que non ha volver, da violencia do poder. Defende a xustiza pola man. E crea a viºva de vivo: esa muller soa, sen rostro, sen amor e tamen sen amo que resolve, como unha Penelope navegante, deixar de agardar.

Im a Gemini. Impulsive. Curious. Headstrong. A twin. Heir to a throne I know nothing about. And it turns out, Im Fae. But of course, theres a catch - all I have to do to claim my birthright is prove that Im the most powerful supernatural in the whole of Solaria. And sure, technically thats true, as Im the daughter of the Savage King. But the bit they didnt put in the brochure was that every single Fae in this Kingdom would claim my throne if they could. The school theyve sent me to is both dangerous as sh*t and one helluva party. Vampires bite weaker students in the corridors, the Werewolf pack has orgies in the Wailing Wood at every full moon, and dont even get me started on the dark and twisted ways the Sirens use their powers on peoples emotions, or how my sinfully tempting Cardinal Magic teacher hosts detentions that leave people needing therapy. Classes are totally interesting if you manage to live through them. And that Gemini star sign I mentioned? It now determines my elemental magic and affects my destiny, so learning astrology is essential if Im going to beat down my classmates - which is actively encouraged, by the way. My biggest problem is the droolworthy Dragon shifter who has his eyes on my throne. He and his three psycho friends are determined to make my time here hell. All Ive got to do is survive. But fate might have other ideas. Dammit, why couldnt I have gotten a letter to Hogwarts?
