Ao aparecer num terreno baldio, "sombrio, úmido e pegajoso", o gato, narrador deste romance, depois de passar por algumas poucas adversidades, acaba parando numa casa onde é acolhido por Chinno Kushami, o professor mal-humorado e estagnado em sua completa falta de perspectiva. Ridiculariza de maneira demolidora a vida da intelectualidade do Japão da Era Meiji, mostrando a fragilidade do professor e daqueles que o cercam. Sugerindo-se sempre como um ser de raça superior, o gato, com sua pesada munição e ares de dândi, não poupa nada nem ninguém. Sua linguagem é carregada de sarcasmo quando o assunto é o ser humano. Mesmo quando há uma ternura esta é impregnada de deboche. Soseki investe, por meio do olhar de fora, recurso que usa habilmente, em profundas análises psicológicas do ser humano – influenciado por William James (1842-1910) e suas pesquisas sobre o subconsciente. Todos os personagens passam pelo crivo do felino que leva o leitor a uma jocosa aventura, chamando-o para ser seu cúmplice na tarefa de desvendar o trágico cinismo interior de cada personagem e seu mundo repleto de mesquinhez, mentiras, vaidades e desolação. Muitas vezes trazendo para o texto idéias de escritores e filósofos do passado ou contemporâneos, Soseki propõe uma reformulação do modo japonês de escrever e pensar, a partir do contato com o pensamento e os costumes do Ocidente. Essa reformulação vem ao encontro das mudanças efetuadas na Era Meiji (1868-1912), quando o Japão passou por reestruturações políticas, econômicas e sociais, tornando-se potência mundial. Publicado inicialmente em forma de capítulos no Hototogisu, importante jornal literário da época, e lançado em 1905, Eu sou um gato é a estréia literária de Natsume Soseki e uma das primeiras faturas da renovação modernista da literatura japonesa. Com este livro, o autor atingiu imenso sucesso de público e crítica. Além de nos levar a reflexões sobre a condição contraditória e quebradiça do ser humano diante dos eventos diários, esta é uma obra que nos proporciona ótimos momentos de diversão, características que mantêm o poder de atração desse importante livro para sucessivas gerações de leitores no Japão e no exterior.

In this simple tale, the novel's hero is the talented heir to a notable family in Lisbon. He aspires to serve his fellow man in his chosen profession of medicine, in the arts, and in politics. But he enters a society affected by powerful international influences--French intellectual developments, English trading practices--that trouble and frustrate him. In the end he is reduced to a kind of spiritual helplessness and his good intentions are reduced to dilettantism. His passionate love affair begins to suffer a devastating constraint.

Along with The Posthumous Memoirs of Br?s Cubas and Dom Casmurro, Quincas Borba is one of Machado de Assis' major works and indeed one of the major works of nineteenth century fiction. With his uncannily postmodern sensibility, his delicious wit, and his keen insight into the political and social complexities of the Brazilian Empire, Machado opens a fascinating world to English speaking readers. When the mad philosopher Quincas Borba dies, he leaves to his friend Rubi?o the entirety of his wealth and property, with a single stipulation: Rubi?o must take care of Quincas Borba's dog, who is also named Quincas Borba, and who may indeed have assumed the soul of the dead philosopher. Flush with his newfound wealth, Rubi?o heads for Rio de Janeiro and plunges headlong into a world where fantasy and reality become increasingly difficult to keep separate. Brilliantly translated by Gregory Rabassa, Quincas Borba is a masterful satire not only on life in Imperial Brazil but the human condition itself.

A Guerra que Salvou a Minha Vida é um daqueles romances que você lê com um nó no peito, sorrisos no rosto e – entre um parágrafo e outro – lagrimas nos olhos. Uma obra sobre as muitas batalhas que precisamos vencer para conquistar nosso lugar no mundo. Ada tem dez anos (ao menos é o que ela acha). A menina nunca saiu de casa, para não envergonhar a mãe na frente dos outros. Da janela, vê o irmão brincar, correr, pular – coisas que qualquer criança sabe fazer. Qualquer criança que não tenha nascido com um "pé torto" como o seu. Trancada num apartamento, Ada cuida da casa e do irmão sozinha, além de ter que escapar dos maus-tratos diários que sofre da mãe. Ainda bem que há uma guerra se aproximando. Os possíveis bombardeios de Hitler são a oportunidade perfeita para Ada e o caçula Jamie deixarem Londres e partirem para o interior, em busca de uma vida melhor. Combinando a ternura de Em Algum Lugar Nas Estrelas, outro título da coleção DarkLove, com a realidade angustiante de O Diário de Anne Frank, A Guerra que Salvou a Minha Vida apresenta uma perspectiva da Segunda Guerra Mundial vista pelos olhos de uma menina que se transforma em refugiada no seu próprio país. Mais uma oportunidade perfeita para emocionar corações de todas as idades e relembrar os valores do companheirismo e da amizade em todos os momentos da nossa vida. Vencedor do Newbery Honor Award, primeiro lugar na lista dos mais vendidos do New York Times e adotado em diversas escolas nos Estados Unidos. "Dolorosamente adorável." – The Wall Street Journal

Major New York Times bestseller Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award in 2012 Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011 A Globe and Mail Best Books of the Year 2011 Title One of The Economist's 2011 Books of the Year One of The Wall Street Journal's Best Nonfiction Books of the Year 2011 2013 Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient Kahneman's work with Amos Tversky is the subject of Michael Lewis's The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds In his mega bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is destined to be a classic.
