Virtually kidnapped by the authorities and placed in a naval hospital, he was only allowed to speak to regime journalists during this time, and only one from the opposition, disguised as a doctor, managed to interview him.

Demian is a psychological masterpiece of modern literature that explores the duality of human nature and the alienation of the human soul. A powerful story of self-discovery that inspires thousands of readers worldwide. Emil Sinclair is a young man tormented by the lack of answers to his questions about the world. Upon meeting Max Demian, a precocious and charismatic classmate, Sinclair rebels against the conventions of his time and embarks on a journey of discovery. Originally published in 1919, this classic, considered a watershed moment in the career of Hermann Hesse, reflects the German writer's questions about humanity, with its contradictions and dualities. Influenced by the ideas of Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, Hesse describes the individual's search for inner fulfillment and self-knowledge. Besides being a turning point in Hermann's career, Demian is also a work that, \"with frightening precision, struck a chord with the times, drawing an entire youth into a grateful enchantment\"—as defined in a 1947 essay by none other than Thomas Mann, the greatest monument of 20th-century German literature and winner of the 1929 Nobel Prize. Thus, this \"novel of education\" (Erziehungsroman), of \"formation\" (Bildungsroman), is constructed along a path that leads the narrator to his own self-discovery. It is not simple. “Nothing is more repugnant to man than to follow the path that leads to himself!”, the protagonist emphasizes. After Demian, Hermann’s style asserts itself in books such as Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927) and The Glass Bead Game (1943).","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159216406780,"sku":"9788501020291","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/4161ff4cd8b04a3136af82d3184c9e98.jpg?v=1787185846"},{"product_id":"doze-contos-peregrinos","title":"Twelve Pilgrim Tales","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTwelve stories ranging from the simplest everyday to the extraordinary, written by one of the most important authors of the 20th century.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOne of the most important collections in world literature, \u003cem\u003eDoze Contos Peregrinos (Twelve Pilgrim Tales)\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of stories about Latin Americans in Europe, pilgrims who never stop dreaming of their homeland.

Louisa May Alcott probably never dreamed of leaving such a profound mark on literature. But that's what made this extraordinary woman! A staunch abolitionist, suffragist, and a feminist to the core in a society where women's voices were barely above a whisper, she dared to defy convention by deciding to make a living from her writing—among many other incredible feats. Little Women, published in 1868, her most acclaimed work, was a huge success upon its release, so much so that readers wrote to the author begging for more of the four sisters. And Louisa promptly obliged the following year with Good Wives. The reason for such enchantment becomes clear as soon as we meet the March sisters: four girls full of dreams trying to make the most of each day in an America ravaged by the Civil War and haunted by famine. In this first volume, we follow the lives of the daughters of a clergyman who chose to serve his country in the war, doing their best to distract their mother and maintain some normalcy at home. It's easy for Meg, the eldest of the four, with her serene, almost maternal personality. The opposite is true for the fiery Jo; the aspiring writer struggles to tame her temper and cannot accept the \"bad luck\" of being born a woman, thus being forbidden to fight alongside her father. Beth, as sweet as the music her fingers extract from the old piano, faces her own demons. Spoiled Amy daydreams of beautiful dresses, sparkling jewels, and a prince charming, like any girl her age. These lovely women couldn't be more different. However, there's something that unites them even in their worst disagreements: their love for each other. And it will be this love that helps them face the darkest period of their lives... Joyful, delicate, and moving, Little Women is an accurate portrayal of mid-19th-century American society, the harsh reality and constant struggles of four young, imperfect women trying to survive in a world where only perfection is acceptable. A delightful read from start to finish. Every book lover needs it on their bookshelf!","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159313498364,"sku":"9788503013741","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/faea4de1d24082ff0545dc5960ba019f.jpg?v=1778877010"},{"product_id":"jane-eyre","title":"Jane Eyre","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe first novel by Charlotte Brontë, one of the sisters who make up the famous English literary family, \u003cem\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of a young woman in search of a more meaningful life in 19th-century English society.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy addressing themes such as the subordination of women, abusive family relationships that generate future trauma, and the moral and spiritual growth of the main character, Jane Eyre was originally published in 1847, but it still feels very relevant today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eJane, orphaned by both her parents, lives with relatives who despise her, and her aunt treats her very differently from her cruel and shallow cousins.

In 1937, he was arrested on vague charges of defending communist ideologies. Upon leaving prison, he sought work as a journalist for a Rio de Janeiro newspaper. The editor then allowed him to publish a short text, and Graciliano wrote a short story called \"Baleia\" (Whale), about the suffering and death of a family of rural migrants' dog. The story was a success, and the newspaper commissioned others in the same style. Graciliano then produced a short story for each member of the family: the father, the mother, and the two children.

A place where poetry intimately intersects with life, \u003cem\u003eTerra de Santa Cruz\u003c\/em\u003e was also a fundamental book in establishing the poetic path that Adélia Prado would brilliantly follow in the following decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Now, in time to celebrate the Camões and Machado de Assis awards (ABL), won by the author in 2024, \u003cem\u003eTerra de Santa Cruz\u003c\/em\u003e returns to readers with a new cover, signed by the award-winning designer Leonardo Iaccarino, on the canvas \u003cem\u003eUma aventura obstinada\u003c\/em\u003e (2022), by the visual artist Manoela Monteiro.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159418880252,"sku":"9788501922779","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/99053bc8bba8975086782d863c2d7b79_fea30c28-497e-441b-b2a4-8fe085fc5183.jpg?v=1787358592"},{"product_id":"o-sol-e-para-todos","title":"The sun is for everyone","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOne of the greatest classics of world literature, \u003cem\u003e\"To Kill a Mockingbird\"\u003c\/em\u003e won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and spawned a film of the same name, which won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1962.

The feelings surrounding Scout's family and town—ever since Atticus decided to take on the infamous case—are familiar to us: racial and social prejudice, conformity in the face of injustice, and the purest malice distilled into banal, familial relationships.

This role is also a novelty of our time. Hence the need to analyze its fundamental principles, identifying its strengths and weaknesses. Our insistence on the role of ideology stems from our conviction that, given the same existing materials, it is both possible to continue making the planet a living hell, as we are witnessing in Brazil, and also feasible to achieve the opposite. Hence the relevance of politics, that is, the art of considering change and creating the conditions to make it effective.

Technical foundations can be at the service of the social and political foundations of all, and not just at the service of large corporations.
