Twilight Sleep, a gothic satire of Jazz Age New York, was an instant best-seller when it was released in 1927. Quintessential Edith Wharton, it is stylish and sharp, at turns scathing, hilarious and melodramatic, but also deeply and surprisingly human. In a modernist twist, the story is told by three distinct narrators—19-year-old Nona Manford, her unflappable socialite mother Pauline, and Nona’s father and Pauline’s second husband, divorce lawyer Dexter Manford. All are trying to save the marriage of Nona’s half-brother, Jim Wyant, and his wife Lita.

Just when they think they've made it out of the grimy streets to a more ideal lifestyle in the suburbs, their lavish lives turn sour. Unfortunately, for the sexy threesome, they are all suddenly faced with financial hardships that land them between a rock and a hard place.

Damani is tired. Every day she cares for her mom, drives ride shares to pay the bills and is angry at a world that promised her more before spitting her out.

So maybe Damani can look past the one thing that's holding her back: Jolene is white. But Jolene really doesn't seem like one of the bad ones—she's done the reading, she goes to every protest, she even listens.

«Scoprii che esiste un’altra parola per definire una foiba, dolina, e provai a usarla per sostituire quel brutto termine nella mia testa – dolina portava con sé tutta una languida atmosfera ungarettiana, mi faceva sentire una docile fibra dell'universo. Ma non ce l’ho fatta: il termine dolina non ha attecchito. Non si può mettere in mezzo la poesia per attenuare il suono dei cadaveri che scricchiolano sotto le scarpe.» L'Istria è un luogo meraviglioso per passarci le vacanze.

What decades of rent increases and declining readership couldn’t do, a pandemic finally did: Phil Cooper has reluctantly closed his secondhand bookstore and moved his business online. Smoking too much pot and listening to too much Grateful Dead, he suspects that he’s overdue when it comes to understanding the bigger picture of who he is and what we’re all doing here. So he’s made another decision: to teach himself 2,500 years of Western philosophy. Thankfully, he meets Caroline, a fellow book lover who agrees to join him on his trek through the best of what’s been thought and said.

Duas pérolas do livro "Laranja-da-China", de Alcântara Machado. Em "O revoltado Robespierre", um curto trajeto de bonde feito pelo personagem é transformando em narrativa com base em seus gestos e comentários. Em "O patriota Washignton", outra viagem, esta de automóvel, de São Paulo a Mogi das Cruzes, é o alicerce para a exposição do patriotismo exagerado do protagonista.

Dois contos com a usual excelência Alcântara Machado na constituição das personagens! Em "A piedosa Teresa", a linguagem coloquial dos participantes da festa vai se costurando à letra da canção de São Gonçalo, para trazer ao leitor o universo de Dona Teresa. Já em "O tímido José", a violência na madrugada fria de São Paulo é quem domina a cena.

Danny Mulberry is a man who 'could do better'. Better at life, better at taking on responsibility and most definitely better at being a grown-up. But when a misleading photo of Danny appears in the newspaper, people around the country start to think this apparently enlightened man could be the one with all the answers and letters begin to flood in from strangers seeking his guidance. Wolfie is the teenage daughter of Danny's estranged sister, Lou. She's never met her uncle. But her mother needs help, and so, when Wolfie sees Danny's picture in the paper, she sets out to find him.

Se trata de una historia que ocurre en la ciudad de Barcelona donde se tocan temas referentes al conocimiento en distintas áreas; filosofía, arte, historia, libros y temas de la sociedad en general, como el alquiler de habitación en piso compartido (muy de moda en una ciudad donde llegan muchos extranjeros). Siempre está la naturaleza presente y el recuerdo de los rituales y la magia, que se asocia a la intuición y a los anhelos. Las situaciones ocurren en la Barcelona cosmopolita, en la cocina de un restaurante en el Collserola y en las calles del centro de la ciudad.

Hard Times is the tenth novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1854. The book surveys English society and satirizes the social and economic conditions of the era. Hard Times is unusual in several ways. It is by far the shortest of Dickens's novels, barely a quarter of the length of those written immediately before and after it. Moreover, it is his only novel not to have scenes set in London. Instead, the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, a generic Northern English mill-town.
