Jorge Paulo Lemann, Marcel Telles e Beto Sicupira ergueram, em pouco mais de quatro décadas, o maior império da história do capitalismo brasileiro e ganharam uma projeção sem precedentes no cenário mundial. Nos últimos anos eles compraram nada menos que três marcas americanas conhecidas globalmente: Budweiser, Burger King e Heinz. Tudo isso na mais absoluta discrição, esforçando-se para ficar longe dos holofotes. Sonho grande é o relato detalhado dos bastidores da trajetória desses empresários desde a fundação do banco Garantia, nos anos 70, até os dias de hoje.

Na abertura dos Jogos Vorazes, a organização não recolhe os corpos dos combatentes caídos e dá tiros de canhão até o final. Cada tiro, um morto. Onze tiros no primeiro dia. Treze jovens restaram, entre eles, Katniss. Para quem os tiros de canhão serão no dia seguinte?... Após o fim da América do Norte, uma nova nação chamada Panem surge. Formada por doze distritos, é comandada com mão de ferro pela Capital.

Depois da improvável e inusitada vitória de Katniss Everdeen e Peeta Mellark nos últimos Jogos Vorazes, algo parece ter mudado para sempre em Panem. Aqui e ali, distúrbios e agitações nos distritos dão sinais de que uma revolta é iminente. Katniss e Peeta, representantes do paupérrimo Distrito 12, não apenas venceram os Jogos, mas ridicularizaram o governo e conseguiram fazer todos – incluindo o próprio Peeta – acreditarem que são um casal apaixonado.

A coragem de Katniss nos jogos fez nascer a esperança em um país disposto a fazer de tudo para se livrar da opressão. E agora, contra a própria vontade, ela precisa assumir seu lugar como símbolo da causa rebelde. Ela precisa virar o Tordo.

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute.
