Story
"A intensa vida sexual arredondou-lhe as formas, disfarçou as arestas e as anfractuosidades – emprestou-lhe beleza" – o tom cru da descrição naturalista comanda essa narrativa excepcional de Lima Barreto, que tem por protagonista a infeliz Adélia, vítima da sociedade em que vive. Em "Sua excelência", por sua vez, o que o leitor encontra é um exemplo ancestral da literatura fantástica, em que o devaneio de um cocheiro e a vaidade de um ministro se misturam.

Romance inacabado de Lima Barreto, O Cemitério dos Vivos foi escrito durante o segundo período no qual o autor foi paciente do Hospital de Alienados, no Rio de Janeiro.

Story
Quatro contos curtinhos de Lima Barreto aqui reunidos! "Um candidato" é uma sátira bem-humorada à classe política, centrada na figura de um candidato declaradamente corrupto. Em "Um bom diretor", conto tido como inacabado, uma nova crítica é direcionada à classe política, dessa vez pela nomeação inadequada de um profissional de educação. "A consulta" é um flash sobre a cena urbana do Rio de Janeiro, que lança luz sobre a prostituição da época. Por fim, "Que rua é esta?" tem como alvo da crítica a polícia, tão distante da realidade da cidade que sequer conhece sua principal rua!

Em "Coisas parlamentares", a crítica ao exército se torna palpável no debate que busca a criação de novos cargos: "a alma dos exércitos é a hierarquia, e esta só pode ser eficaz com uma boa lei de promoções"... Em "Um debate acadêmico", o autor ridiculariza a academia, trazendo o recorte de um debate de cunho etimológico que beira o nonsense.

Story
Our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions—and feel incredible today—is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function—the most important and least understood factor in our overall health. As Dr. Casey Means explains in this book, nearly every health problem we face can be explained by how well the cells in our body create and use energy. To live free from frustrating symptoms and life-threatening disease, we need our cells to be optimally powered so that they can create “good energy,” the essential fuel that impacts every aspect of our wellbeing.

But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through.

It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
