Faltava escrever apenas um capítulo de suas memórias quando Graciliano Ramos faleceu, em 1953. Apesar de inacabado, o livro foi publicado de forma póstuma, originalmente em quatro volumes, com uma “Explicação final” de Ricardo Ramos fazendo as vezes de conclusão, e logo tornou-se o maior sucesso do autor—já renomado, mas pouco lido pelo público em geral.

Who Killed My Father rips into France’s long neglect of the working class and its overt contempt for the poor, accusing the complacent French - at the minimum - of negligent homicide. The author goes to visit the ugly gray town of his childhood to see his dying father, barely 50 years old, who can hardly walk or breathe: “You belong to the category of humans whom politics consigns to an early death.” It’s as simple as that.

"J'ai voulu l'oublier cette fille. L'oublier vraiment, c'est-à-dire ne plus avoir envie d'écrire sur elle. Ne plus penser que je dois écrire sur elle, son désir, sa folie, son idiotie et son orgueil, sa faim et son sang tari. Je n'y suis jamais parvenue." Dans "Mémoire de fille", Annie Ernaux replonge dans l'été 1958, celui de sa première nuit avec un homme, à la colonie de S dans l'Orne. Nuit dont l'onde de choc s'est propagée violemment dans son corps et sur son existence durant deux années.

Por quase trinta anos, entre 1969 e 1997, a sociedade brasileira foi desnudada pela escrita espirituosa do jornalista Zózimo Barrozo do Amaral em sua coluna diária no Jornal do Brasil e depois em O Globo. Muito além dos registros sociais, ele oferecia um noticiário que flertava com a economia, a política e o esporte (sua paixão), em um estilo elegante e sem qualquer cerimônia.

Acerbic, wisecracking and hilarious, this is the definitive essay collection from New York legend and satirist, Fran Lebowitz, star of Martin Scorsese's hit Netflix series, Pretend It's a City. Lebowitz turns her trademark caustic wit to the vicissitudes of life—from children ('rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting sum of money') to landlords ('it is the solemn duty of every landlord to maintain an adequate supply of roaches').

“2500 nautical miles to go, plenty of time to tell the story,” says Christian Williams as he begins his inspiring and entertaining tale of evolution from a distracted schoolboy to Washington Post journalist, Hollywood writer-producer and long-distance singlehanded sailor with more than 10 million views on YouTube. With an infectious curiosity that ranges from bilge pump mechanics to issues of philosophy of identity, the author never flags in his quest to learn what makes every life distinctive and yet defined by its intersection with others.

This is a compelling look at the evolution of sports journalism and how today’s media coverage drastically differs from the days of newspapers and magazines. At the same time, it explores the effect that radio, TV, and later technology has had on sports coverage, and how men like Howard Cosell changed the way sports was reported on.

Las Cartas a Ricardo, de Rosario Castellanos, constituyen un tesoro y un documento único en la literatura mexicana de la primera mitad del siglo XX. No sólo son la crónica amorosa de uno de los personajes más logrados de nuestra tradición escritos por sí misma, Rosario, sino el amuleto a través del cual podemos conocer los prejuicios de las instituciones que subordinaban los sentimientos a la luz de la razón. Aparecer en estas cartas es el triunfo sobre ese acto de desaparición que opera de forma particular en las mujeres.

That Troublesome Old Family Place? That's Where Passions Shape a Future... After plum assignments in Washington, London, Paris, and Buenos Aires, TIME magazine correspondent Charles Eisendrath walks away from the glamor. It isn’t that he got it wrong—the career, the stories—it’s the realization that getting it right in terrorism zones can lead to something far worse for his young family. Kidnappings, home bombings, and “disappearances” were all too common. Taking a leave of absence, he moves his family to a 146-acre farm in Northern Michigan. But this is no retreat.

Leonardo takes you inside the brain of a man who painted the most famous face on Earth, sketched helicopters in the 1400s, dissected corpses to understand beauty, and wrote in mirrored code while inventing robots no one would build for centuries. He didn’t separate art and science. He didn’t follow disciplines. He followed truth. And he left behind a world forever warped by the intensity of his attention.

There used to be something called JOURNALISM. It was a noble “Fourth Estate”. There was no concept of anything called “fake news”. Cronkite was the “most trusted man in America” and the Times & Post were paragons of integrity. Newspapers were actually “a thing”. Add to that landscape: axe murders; international monetary manipulation; a small-town police department; Congressional corruption; insane religious cults; cover ups; con men; assassinations; and the ugly zeitgeist of Southern racism.
