The series features the chaos of Brazilian universities and a recurring character, Professor Antonio Pastoriza. In this new edition, Felipe changed some details to make the plot even more dynamic. *Diploma Factory* is a captivating suspense story set against the turbulent (and little-explored) reality of Brazilian university students, torn between books, impossible loves, and drug- and alcohol-fueled parties. A pharmacy student is shot on a college campus during a break. Psychoanalyst Antonio Pastoriza is called by the dean to investigate the crime and discovers the involvement of a strange character who, despite being illiterate, has just passed the entrance exam. Tormented by doubts about the methods employed in his chosen profession, Pastoriza reconnects with an ex-girlfriend, becomes embroiled in a personal dispute with the police chief, and finds himself caught in the middle of a war between militias and drug traffickers for control of a new synthetic drug produced in the university's pharmacy laboratory. He must also uncover the identity of the mysterious Doctor, a criminal whose face no one has ever seen. During his investigation, the psychoanalyst becomes aware of the decline of higher education in the country and the commercial competition for students\/clients among private institutions, fueled by the arrival of unscrupulous foreign investors interested in participating in our multimillion-dollar education market.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159301538044,"sku":"9788501093936","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/6fc23b49f307af36a8c131c0b3f3f3f6.jpg?v=1778325894"},{"product_id":"o-marido-perfeito-mora-ao-lado-vol-2","title":"The Perfect Husband Lives Next Door (Vol. 2)","description":"The lack of communication between couples, the difficulty in understanding each other, the pitfalls of love. All of this is wrapped up in a playful and well-articulated plot that recaptures the pleasure of reading. Defining The Perfect Husband Lives Next Door as a love story, Felipe Pena enthralls the reader with different narratives about diverse aspects of the soul and everyday life. \"I want to keep the reader turning the page. If you say you couldn't put the book down, you'll have paid me the highest compliment. That will be my greatest reward,\" says the writer. In his second novel, Felipe—one of the organizers of the Silvestre Manifesto, a defense of narrative, entertainment, and the popularization of literature—mixes passions, sociopaths, and obsessions within a contemporary crime plot set in Rio de Janeiro. Characters typical of the city help portray social discrepancies and the seemingly democratic coexistence of heterogeneous types, without neglecting social critique. More than a work of fiction, the book is a psychoanalytic caricature. Here we find the husband who betrays his wife with his complacency, the lover who wants to believe in the sincerity of her beloved, the crazy woman who wants to destroy whoever gets involved with the object of her passion... The eternal questions: why are we never satisfied with what we have? Why is the grass always greener on the other side? Why do we discover love when we're on the verge of losing it? In The Perfect Husband Next Door, we are introduced to a distressed woman who seeks the help of a therapist to save her marriage. But we soon realize that the anguish is shared by other characters, even the happily married (or especially the happily married, as one of them puts it). Then a crime occurs. And the therapists will play the role of investigators. Who is to blame for the incommunicability between men and women? A question that not even Freud was able to solve, although we spend our lives searching for the answer.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175454392572,"sku":"9788501088468","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/de4ee3d89b480e5d95de3286dbc31c0f.jpg?v=1778322597"},{"product_id":"geracao-subzero-20-autores-congelados-pela-critica-mas-adorados-pelos-leitores","title":"Subzero Generation: 20 Authors Frozen by Critics, But Adored by Readers","description":"Felipe Pena, a PhD in literature, brought together 20 authors who have been overlooked by critics but are beloved by the public, aiming to celebrate Brazilian entertainment literature, which is often overlooked by specialized critics. Referring to the title of the elitist anthology \"Zero Zero,\" organized by Nelson Oliveira with the ambition of selecting the most important names in contemporary Brazilian literature, Felipe Pena brings together authors who, despite their enormous public appeal, would never be chosen for such a publication, such as Eduardo Spohr, Talitha Rebouças, and André Vianco.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175689732348,"sku":"9788501099143","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/853dcaea1adc8b8fb9aca3cae0d1a5f3.jpg?v=1778326269"},{"product_id":"cronicas-do-golpe","title":"Chronicles of the coup","description":"A collection of texts – letters, dialogues, articles – marked by the one-year anniversary of the coup and the country's political crisis since then.\n \nFluid to read, the chronicles show how this plot was hatched behind the scenes in Brasília and how a democratically elected president of the republic could be removed from power by a National Congress drenched in corruption accusations and without any criminal offense being proven.\n A writer, journalist, university professor, and political commentator, Felipe Pena's profile is well-suited to understanding the diverse facets of recent history.

For six months, he visited the patients, listening to their stories and witnessing their struggles. Some inmates kept a small notebook in which they described their daily lives in the psychiatric wards. It was a collective and chaotic notebook, with different handwriting, overlapping drawings, notes, and scribbles in the margins. Patiently, the future writer listened to everyone who wrote or drew the incomprehensible plot of that story. Twenty-two years later, he used this experience as the genesis and construction of The Back of the Boarding Pass. \"It's a book about the irrationality of labels, about stereotypes, about the cognitive avarice with which we judge and are judged. It's much easier to impose a label on someone than to contemplate the complexity, see the nuances, perceive the fractals that make up any personality,\" explains Felipe. Also the author of the novels \"The Perfect Husband Lives Next Door\" (2010) and \"The Diploma Factory\" (2008), Felipe Pena completes the Campus Trilogy with \"The Back of the Boarding Pass.\" All of the works feature a university setting and a recurring character, Professor Antonio Pastoriza. Told in a fragmented fashion, utilizing a variety of resources (a personal diary, a film script, meeting minutes, and online chats), it is simultaneously a love story and a mystery, surprising the reader from the very first pages with the reproduction of a newspaper column that will change the characters' fates.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176811872508,"sku":"9788501095657","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/f942d53081f4c8a57e66e658085e18f1.jpg?v=1776893871"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/felipe-pena.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
