But the brief span of the weekend stretches, as they are overcome by memories of stories, both told and lived, that weave Brazil's decades-long trajectory: from rural to urban; from the hopes of the 1950s to the repression of the dictatorship; from women who sublimate love to those who learn to live it freely. Around the corner, however, fear always lurks.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175069434108,"sku":"9788501099181","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/9bf3eb90f27f3f4485c01732e7659ca7_69b03c5b-ca78-4fc1-a586-80b0a12d127b.jpg?v=1778325509"},{"product_id":"o-interprete-de-borboletas","title":"The Butterfly Interpreter","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIn a time of politicized emotions and affections, Sérgio Abranches' novel speaks of radicalism, intolerance, and the apparent impossibility of reconciling opinions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Butterfly Interpreter\u003c\/em\u003e deals with characters who live the daily life of large Brazilian cities, with stories, desires, and questions that lead us to see our own lives through different eyes. Who doesn't have an uncle, cousin, sibling, parent, or friend with radically different political views and values? In the book, as in everyday Brazilian life, this disagreement also intensifies social inequality, causing the most vulnerable to be oppressed by the perverse dynamics that constantly exclude them and deny them basic living conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eSérgio Abranches structures this novel around two family groups. One consists of a girl entering adolescence and trying to find herself; the mother, recently converted to religion, who doesn't understand her daughter and tries to mold her to her new behavior patterns; and the father, more understanding, who seeks to help his daughter and prevent a definitive rupture in their relationship. The other consists of two brothers who have come to hate each other due to political differences. Between these groups, several characters' lives are transformed by something they have in common: the polarization and violence that have gripped the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOver this turmoil, where people with opposing ideas can no longer communicate, hangs the Elder. His political experience began on the streets of Paris in 1968, when the student protests reached their peak. Upon returning to Brazil, he joined the general outrage against the military dictatorship. He was arrested, tortured, and held in solitary confinement for seven years.

Sergio Abranches combines sociology and journalism to analyze this historic event, including its antecedents and consequences. The author also assesses the facts and reveals the behind-the-scenes story of this meeting that drew the world's attention to Denmark in late 2009. \"Climagate\" and the surprise meeting between the presidents of the US and China are addressed in the book. Abranches' analysis encourages reflection on the success or failure of this event, crucial to the preservation of the global environment and the very fate of humanity. The author shows how the decisions of the climate summit had the power to determine the course of societies and directly influence everyone's lives. \"What led me to write this book was that decisive moment in 2009, when all the preliminary steps had already been taken. The time had come to determine whether governments would be able to make the decisions that were becoming crystallized, historically and scientifically, as necessary and urgent. Decisions that will define the course of the entire century, in the economy, society, the use of technology, ways of life, and the geographic distribution of populations.\" The author highlights the historical importance of the event, which brought together tens of thousands of activists in Denmark, hundreds of journalists, and more than one hundred heads of government and state, including the leaders of the major world powers. The author encourages reflection on the direction of public climate policy.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176264122620,"sku":"9788520010020","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/8da61ec293d8d9e21347a0c28fbfc26e.jpg?v=1778317969"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/sergio-abranches.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
