Into the fascinating, pungent setting of Blood and Bone Alley, home of leech, barber-surgeon, and apothecary, comes Matilda, raised by…
a priest to disdain worldly affairs and focus on spiritual matters. To Matilda's dismay, her work will not involve Latin or writing, but practical tasks: lighting the fire, going to market, mixing plasters and poultices, and helping Peg treat patients. She is appalled by the worldliness of her new surroundings, and the sharp-tongued saints she turns to for advice are no help at all. Filled with the witty dialogue and richly authentic detail that Karen Cushman&’s work is known for, Matilda Bone is a compelling comic novel about a girl who learns to see herself and others clearly, to laugh, and to live contentedly in this world. Author&’s note.

history, trivia, and fun while traveling with this little armadillo through the capitol building. Especially good regional title.&” —Parent Council After singing the Texas state song, Bluebonnet admires the Goddess of Liberty statue on top of the state capitol dome. Filled with pride, she wishes that she could climb to the top to see the statue up close. To her amazement, someone tells Bluebonnet that he has been to the top, more than three hundred feet above the ground! The voice that seems to come from nowhere belongs to Mac, a mockingbird, who happens to be the state bird of Texas. Mac offers to give Bluebonnet a tour of the Texas state capitol building. While inside, they discover that a group of schoolchildren are meeting with the governor in order to decide on the state mammal. Some of the children want the state mammal to be the armadillo, while others want it to be the Longhorn. Which one will it be? Once again outside, the pair meet Bevo, a Longhorn interested in the outcome of the childrens&’ decision. Bevo is a friend of Mac&’s, and Bluebonnet makes another new friend. That, after all, is more important than what the state mammal of Texas will be. Isn&’t it?

Um clássico da literatura. Um importante manifesto. Um clássico da literatura americana, aclamado pela crítica e amado por sucessivas gerações…
de leitores. Tão relevante hoje quanto no ano da sua publicação, é umaextraordinária peça de ficção que combate o ódio, a desigualdade e a violência, ao mesmo tempo que celebra o amor pela vida. «Uma exuberante celebração do que significa ser mulher.» Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Celie, de 14 anos, escreve cartas a Deus para tentar compreender o que lhe está a acontecer. Órfã de mãe, abusada pelo homem a quem chama "pai", separada da irmã, Netie, privada dos dois filhos e oferecida em casamento a um homem que a maltrata, considera-se «uma negra, pobre e feia". Até que conhece Sugar, a amante do marido. Com a ajuda de Sugar, «a mulher mais linda» que ela viu na vida, Celie descobre não só o paradeiro da irmã desaparecida mas também o próprio corpo, o prazer, o amor e, acima de tudo, a sua voz. Romance epistolar composto pelas cartas que Celie endereça a Deus com uma honestidade brutal e pelos relatos de viagem que Nettie lhe envia de uma missão em África, A Cor Púrpura aborda temas como a violência brutal a que estavam sujeitas as mulheres negras no início do século XX, a relação dos negros com o seu passado de escravatura, e a busca do espiritual num mundo cruel e sem sentido. Galardoado com o prémio Pulitzer e com o National Book Award para o melhor livro de ficção, A Cor Púrpura foi adaptado ao cinema em 1985 por Steven Spielberg e nomeado para 11 Óscares. Os elogios da crítica: «Alice Walker é uma escritora maravilhosamente talentosa.» — The New York Times Book Review «A cor púrpura coloca Walker á altura de Faulkner.» — The Nation «Um romance sempre em vigor.» — Newsweek«Óptimo. Um livro para colocar entre os clássicos da literatura de todos os tempos.» — San Francisco Chronicle «Um livro que genuinamente nos faz pensar.» — Guardian «Uma fábula para o mundo moderno.» — Washington Post«Um livro impressionante e brilhantemente concebido. . . uma saga cheia de alegria e dor, humor e amargura, e uma série de personagens que vivem, respiram e iluminam o mundo das mulheres negras.» — Publishers Weekly«A cor púrpura é uma celebração exuberante de tudo o que significa ser mulher, ser uma mulher negra e gostar das melhores celebrações, é honesta. A honestidade de Alice Walker neste livro é combativa, implacável e redentora. É dessa honestidade que surge a amargura e, no entanto, a amargura nunca macula a humanidade da visão de Walker. Adoro que A cor púrpura não tente amenizar seus golpes, mas também seja corajoso o suficiente para manter uma fé maravilhosamente afirmativa na possibilidade, no perdão, na bondade e na esperança.» — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie «Uma das escritoras americanas mais talentosas.» — Isabel Allende «Às vezes engraçado, principalmente comovente e ainda enfeitiçado com um encanto de conto de fadas, A cor púrpura aborda bravamente questões sociais e deve ser leitura obrigatória para todos, especialmente para aqueles que ainda optam por fechar os olhos aos abusos e violências cometidos por conta do sexismo e racismo.» — Open Road Review Magazine

estudiar las biografías de los grandes personajes de nuestra historia con un criterio moralista o religioso que excluya sus inclinaciones sentimentales o ignore los arrebatos carnales en que pudieron haber caído, víctimas ¿afortunadas? de una obnubilación permanente o pasajera. El amor constituye la columna vertebral de las relaciones humanas. ¿A dónde se va en la vida sin un cómplice con quien se comparten secretos exquisitos en la cama?» Francisco Martín Moreno, con su fresco, cercano, pero a la vez riguroso estilo, nos invita a humanizar, desde las pasiones y afectos, a esos personajes históricos que han cambiado o influido en la historia de México. Así,en Arrebatos carnales I, el lector conocerá las intimidades de la poeta y escritora Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, del político José Vasconcelos, del libertador José María Morelos, del emperador Maximiliano I, del dictador Porfirio Díaz y del célebre revolucionario Pancho Villa.

acerca de sueños innecesarios. Obra ganadora del premio Caza de Letras de la UNAM. Tres minutos con treinta segundos por cliente. 30 millones de clientes. 17 millones de hamburguesas. 7.5 millones de kilos de papas. 30 millones de litros derefresco al año... ¿Qué hacer con estos números? Eso se pregunta la Chaparra, quien trabaja preparando hamburguesas que nunca le quedan como las de la fotografía. No hay mucho que decir de ella: su sueño es llegar a ser empleada del mes aunque haga todo lo posible por que nadie se fije en ella, ni siquiera un poquito. En su mirada a la vez perpleja y a la vez irresponsable se va acumulando un bestiario contemporáneo: el Guasón, quien dosifica su cleptomanía con robo hormiga de libros; el Grunch, un príncipe azul que comanda a las Almas Muertas, la peor banda de covers que se haya escuchado jamás; la Maldad, el Güero de Rancho, la Ñoña de Lentes, la Bitle, el Pacman y todo un grupo de sobrevivientes de la positividad, la priorización y la motivacionalidad. O, lo que es lo mismo, de víctimas de lo cotidiano.Lo que ha dicho la crítica: "Divertida, te tomará por sorpresa si la subestimas. Muy recomendable". -Chilango.

"An unflinchingly honest romance." —Kirkus, starred reviewFrom the author of THE MATZAH BALL and MR. PERFECT ON PAPER comes this hilarious…
and emotional rivals-to-lovers romance.Step 1: Get the secret recipe. Step 2: Don&’t fall in love…Avital Cohen isn&’t wearing underpants—woefully, for unsexy reasons. Chronic pelvic pain has forced her to sideline her photography dreams and her love life. It&’s all she can do to manage her family&’s kosher bakery, Best Babka in Brooklyn, without collapsing.She needs hired help.And distractingly handsome Ethan Lippmann seems the perfect fit.Except Ethan isn&’t there to work—he&’s undercover, at the behest of his ironfisted grandfather. Though Lippmann&’s is a household name when it comes to mass-produced kosher baked goods, they don&’t have the charm of Avital&’s bakery. Or her grandfather&’s world-famous pumpkin spice babka recipe.As they bake side by side, Ethan soon finds himself more interested in Avital than in stealing family secrets, especially as he helps her find the chronic pain relief—and pleasure—she&’s been missing.But perfecting the recipe for romance calls for leaving out the lies…even if coming clean means risking everything.
