Summary : This innovative multimedia ebook presents videos, music and animation in a new reading experience, bringing four simultaneous stories, leading to an exciting outcome. As a backdrop, "The Colored Papers Game" is set in future amidst the dispute of two leaders, ONE and TWO, for world leadership, in a world without violence, but ruined by environmental devastation. Of opposing personalities, they clash intellectually with fury and mastery, propelled to these roles in their youth, without knowing it, when exposed to a Game with unknown significance. Among other characters there is Gablas, whose profession is to be a theater magician, in search of personal fulfillment in the face of decisions and paths that we all take in life; and Mina, the youngest of the Benjamin Family, who, as she dies in the public square, remembers her life in a thrill, allowing herself to discover her identity and those of her sisters, converging to an unexpected end. This release has yet another particular feature: all illustrations, paintings, the twelve chapters-related videos, as well as all composite songs, are from the author of the book, Paulo Santoro, resulting in a very cohesive work. About the author: Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Paulo Santoro since childhood was interested in various forms of artistic activity, ranging from painting, watercolor to drawing, finally gathering digital animation and video, and to music and composition, in their own study and research. The last territory added was literature, the art of writing. The result is this first multimedia digital book produced by Paulo Santoro, THE COLORED PAPERS GAME, published in Brazil in 2012, now offered here in English version, for the appreciation of those interested in good stories, combining all these ingredients, in a new reading experience.

Summary : "Quando publicámos em 1883 estes contos coligidos da tradição oral, andava um fervoroso entusiasmo pelas compilações e investigações do folclore português. Não foi possível formar-se um grupo ou associação para imprimir unidade a todas as curiosas boas vontades que surgiam pelas províncias, por antinomias doutrinárias e exclusivas iniciativas. Nós prosseguíamos num plano que visava ao intuito de estudar as tradições como fonte estética da Literatura, procurando servir o pensamento da revivescência do sentimento nacional pelos elementos de uma Biblioteca das Tradições Portuguesas. Era uma intuição. Vão passados bons trinta anos sobre esse plano, que está prestes a realizar-se completamente; e o trabalho sincero teve a maior das apoteoses."

Summary : ‘Floor Games’ is a delightful book by H.G. Wells about the fun children can have with some simple toys and a lot of imagination. The author’s humorous tone in this book makes it an entertaining read for parents, but Wells also provides deeply personal anecdotes about playing with his children. Wells’ celebrated creativity is clear to see as the games he describes are about inventing worlds out of one’s imagination, constructing cities and empires from a few wooden blocks. ‘Floor Games’ is an influential book that is used by psychotherapists to assist children’s development by learning through play. A perfect read for parents who are weary of the internet age and anyone who wishes to reminisce about their childhood. H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was a celebrated English writer, remembered mostly for his science fiction works. Often described as a futurist, H. G. Wells’ influence cannot be overstated for his works foresaw many technological innovations such as space travel, the atomic bomb, and the Internet. A four-time Nobel Prize in Literature nominee, Wells explored a wide array of themes in his works, from religion to social criticism and beyond. Some of his best works include the time-travel novel ‘The Time Machine’, the sci-fi adventure novel ‘The Island of Dr. Moreau’, and the mankind-versus-aliens novel ‘The War of the Worlds’. Wells occupies one of the central seats in the canon of science-fiction literature and his writing inspired other celebrated authors such as Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick. Wells’ stories are still widely read to this day and have had numerous cinematic adaptations including ‘The Invisible Man’ starring Elisabeth Moss.
