Telling the story of two women who lived centuries apart and the ancestral heritage that unites them, Chevalier, as in her most famous book, uniquely combines history, art, and imagination. That day, Isabelle's hair changed color as quickly as a bird changes its plumage to attract a mate. After receiving a statue of the Virgin, the niche above the church door where the image will be placed is painted a blue as intense as the afternoon sky. The sun's rays illuminate the blue vehemently, touching young Isabelle's hair and dyeing it a copper that would remain even after the sun had set. From then on, the girl became known as La Rousse (The Redhead) and had to hide her long red locks under a cap – embarrassed by that trait, which hinted at an unusual connection with the Virgin Mary and led to her being considered dirty, contaminated, a witch. Almost five centuries later, Ella Turner, an independent 28-year-old woman, left the United States and moved to France with her husband, Rick. There, she began taking French lessons, lost her optimism, tried to get pregnant, and desperately searched for a solution to stop feeling like a stranger in her new country. She then began to be plagued by inexplicable nightmares, filled with French verses of unknown origin, tinged with a vivid blue, both light and dark. Ella then received a letter from Jacob Tournier, a relative from Switzerland, revealing a little about her French ancestors who had immigrated to the United States in the 19th century. Determined to deepen her knowledge of her own family, Ella began researching old books and documents. With the help of librarian Jean-Paul, she will make many discoveries: she belongs to the Tournier family of Calvin's time, and the phrases she hears in her dreams are from the biblical text her Huguenot ancestors used to recite when something bad happened. As her past is revealed, Ella's hair turns red like Isabelle's. What are the connections between these two women? What do these dreams mean? Ella sets out in search of answers and decides to learn more about her own family... perhaps by doing so, she will unravel the mysteries behind her nightmares, tinged with The Virgin's Blue.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159483629820,"sku":"9788528612783","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/0229ed8134ebb3355b5c2576c9accaaf.jpg?v=1778323572"},{"product_id":"viva-chama","title":"Long live the flame","description":"Fires and burials, circuses and seduction, neighbors and sexuality: this new novel by Tracy Chevalier is a resplendent narrative. After the tragic death of one of their sons, the Kellaways abandon their quiet, provincial Dorset to settle in 18th-century London, at the height of the anti-Jacobin terror. The patriarch, Thomas Kellaway, a chairmaker, finds work in the circus of the eccentric Philip Astley, whose fireworks display causes a furor similar to the guillotine executions in Paris. Jem, the youngest Kellaway son, is enchanted by the witty and fiery Maggie Butterfield. A surprising friendship blossoms between them as they grow closer to their neighbor William Blake and his wife. A poet, painter, and printer, Blake accompanies and participates in the relationship between the two young people, exploring the state of innocence and experience, the subject of his masterpiece, Songs of Experience and Innocence. But as the French Revolution crossed the English Channel and reached Georgian London, royalists began to doubt William Blake's somewhat advanced vision of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Those moved by the evocative atmosphere of 17th-century Delft in Girl with a Pearl Earring would experience similar emotion in the vivid reconstruction of 18th-century London. Suffused with the clamor and roar of London's streets, \"Long Flame\" brims with detail: from the incredible feats performed at Astley's Circus to the pitiless poverty of St. Giles'; from the art of button-making to the art of Windsor chair-making. Tyger, Tyger, long flame, Which inflames the forests of night, What immortal eye or hand could trace your horrible symmetry?","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159902863612,"sku":"9788528613971","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/b2e1cf536a5173ce1484de96c0b0875d_f32d17c1-b9a7-47f0-90db-9e2b78d3e779.jpg?v=1778316910"},{"product_id":"seres-incriveis","title":"Amazing beings","description":"HISTORICAL CHARACTERS AND REAL EVENTS RECREATED IN A CHARMING NARRATIVE FROM THE AUTHOR OF GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING.
