Now, in A Roda do Vento (The Wheel of the Wind), she delves into the memories of her first encounters with literature to create a perfect novel for little ones. A playful way for them to connect with one of the most beautiful texts in Brazilian prose. Here, Nélida tells the story of Aunt Genia, a storyteller herself, who constantly distances herself from the reality and monotony of the small town of Catavento. Among her captive audience are her nephews, Beijinho and Tarzan. On their way to Europe for vacation, the children miss their aunt's imagination, the master of their fantasies. The solution is to create an imaginary boat, named in her honor. A sailboat of ideas that takes them in search of answers to mysteries such as, for example, where does the wind live? Intrigued by his disappearance when he stops stirring the leaves of the little Catavento, the brothers, with the help of their friends Baguinho, Ana, and Caó, want to know where he rests. And what other lands he shakes in the meantime. To do so, they embark on a narrative adventure that liberates and emancipates them through words and imagination, allowing them to chart the course of the story they begin to tell. Lavishly illustrated by artist and writer Maurício Veneza, A RODA DO VENTO is a story about the pleasure of reading, the familiarity of words, and the comfort of narrative. Further proof of the undeniable talent of this national Scheherazade.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174824460540,"sku":"9788501092175","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/e0a8d1f892a756aa4b7bdef577bbb81e_17037deb-f2f6-499c-91c3-d4602d425a1f.jpg?v=1778325324"},{"product_id":"o-presumivel-coracao-da-america","title":"The presumed heart of America","description":"\" \u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 2002, \u003cem\u003e*The Presumable Heart of America\u003c\/em\u003e *, in a new edition by Editora Record, brings together some of these speeches, delivered by award-winning writer Nélida Piñon between 1985 and 2002.
