Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award National Book Award Finalist A new American classic from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gilead and Housekeeping Marilynne Robinson, one of the greatest novelists of our time, returns to the town of Gilead in an unforgettable story of a girlhood lived on the fringes of society in fear, awe, and wonder. Lila, homeless and alone after years of roaming the countryside, steps inside a small-town Iowa church-the only available shelter from the rain-and ignites a romance and a debate that will reshape her life. She becomes the wife of a minister, John Ames, and begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the life that preceded her newfound security. Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood. Together they crafted a life on the run, living hand to mouth with nothing but their sisterly bond and a ragged blade to protect them. Despite bouts of petty violence and moments of desperation, their shared life was laced with moments of joy and love. When Lila arrives in Gilead, she struggles to reconcile the life of her makeshift family and their days of hardship with the gentle Christian worldview of her husband which paradoxically judges those she loves. Revisiting the beloved characters and setting of Robinson's Pulitzer Prize-winning Gilead and Home, a National Book Award finalist, Lila is a moving expression of the mysteries of existence that is destined to become an American classic.

Lila, de quatro ou cinco anos, vive negligenciada numa casa de imigrantes algures no Midwest, na década de 1920. Ninguém parece preocupar-se minimamente com ela. Passa o tempo aninhada debaixo de uma mesa e quando não consegue conter o choro, mandam-na para fora de casa. Uma vez, ao anoitecer, Doll, uma jovem vagabunda de rosto desfigurado, decide levá-la consigo para longe. Ambas sobrevivem juntando-se a um grupo de nómadas em busca de trabalho pelos campos fora enquanto o país enfrenta a Grande Depressão. Os anos passam até que Doll desaparece misteriosamente, e Lila continua a fazer aquilo que parece ser o seu destino, deambular para sobreviver. Um dia para se abrigar de uma tempestade, entra na igreja de uma pequena localidade na altura em que o reverendo John Ames proferia o seu sermão. A partir deste momento, assistimos a mudanças profundas que marcarão para sempre a vida destes dois personagens. Lila é uma obra literária sublime, com uma intensidade rara e penetrante. O livro de Marilynne Robinson foi vencedor do National Book Critics Circle Award e do 2016 Library of Congress Prize in American Fiction. Foi ainda finalista do National Book Award e nomeado para o Booker Prize..

In this bestselling new book, his first in seventeen years, Robert M. Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, takes us on a poignant and passionate journey as mysterious and compelling as his first life-changing work. Instead of a motorcycle, a sailboat carries his philosopher-narrator Phaedrus down the Hudson River as winter closes in. Along the way he picks up a most unlikely traveling companion: a woman named Lila who in her desperate sexuality, hostility, and oncoming madness threatens to disrupt his life. In Lila Robert M. Pirsig has crafted a unique work of adventure and ideas that examines the essential issues of the nineties as his previous classic did the seventies.

In a Parisian ghetto, Lila, a sixteen-year-old Catholic girl, stops to talk to Chimo, a nineteen-year-old Arab boy, and puts into motion a sequence of events that is shockingly raw, sensual, and devastating. Lila's angelic demeanor barely contains the vitality and powerful eroticism that are destined to destroy her. No matter how hard he tries, Chimo is unable to resist the pull of this tragic girl. Lila Says is Chimo's journal of his encounters with Lila. Each time they meet, she tells him increasingly troubling tales of her supposed exploits and violations, inspiring in the uneducated Chimo a previously untapped poetry. With grace and a streetwise wit, he records her story. His narrative builds relentlessly, breathlessly, until it becomes clear that Lila is perilously close to the edge, where the brutality of the world they inhabit threatens to consume her. Lila Says, a touching, wrenching tale of innocent love sprung from wanton degradation, convinces us that even in the bleakest, most bitter settings, beauty and romance are possible. The most sensational foreign novel in recent memory, Lila Says became an instant bestseller in France. In the tradition of Marguerite Dura's The Lover and Pauline Reage's Story of O. Lila Says is a magnificent debut.

Lila é uma irmã superprotetora que passou por uma perda trágica. Lila, ao mesmo tempo, é uma mulher que não pode ter filhos e passa a cuidar da casa de um homem que conheceu há pouco tempo. Enquanto passa por um sequestro, Caco lembra as histórias amedrontadoras que sua irmã, também chamada Lila, contava na infância. Lila é ainda a mulher que se muda para uma cidade com sua filha, fugindo do passado, mas termina encontrando uma amiga da adolescência. Nos textos deste livro, vencedor da categoria de contos do Prêmio Cepe Nacional de Literatura, existe uma unidade e uma progressão nas narrativas, como variações sobre um tema musical. Nomes, cidades e imagens se repetem ao longo das páginas escritas por Gael Rodrigues, sempre flertando com a ideia de uma mesma história apenas para traí-la. Talvez a grande unidade de Lila seja uma singular sensação de vertigem, ou seja, de que ser devorado pelo abismo da linguagem é inevitável.
