Download or read book Pride written by Ibi Zoboi and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a timely update of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, National Book Award finalist Ibi Zoboi skillfully balances cultural identity, class, and gentrification against the heady magic of first love in her vibrant reimagining of this beloved classic. A smart, funny, gorgeous retelling starring all characters of color. Zuri Benitez has pride. Brooklyn pride, family pride, and pride in her Afro-Latino roots. But pride might not be enough to save her rapidly gentrifying neighborhood from becoming unrecognizable. When the wealthy Darcy family moves in across the street, Zuri wants nothing to do with their two teenage sons, even as her older sister, Janae, starts to fall for the charming Ainsley. She especially can’t stand the judgmental and arrogant Darius. Yet as Zuri and Darius are forced to find common ground, their initial dislike shifts into an unexpected understanding. But with four wild sisters pulling her in different directions, cute boy Warren vying for her attention, and college applications hovering on the horizon, Zuri fights to find her place in Bushwick’s changing landscape, or lose it all. "Zoboi skillfully depicts the vicissitudes of teenage relationships, and Zuri’s outsize pride and poetic sensibility make her a sympathetic teenager in a contemporary story about race, gentrification, and young love."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: O romance retrata a relação entre Elizabeth Bennet (Lizzy) e Fitzwilliam Darcy na Inglaterra rural do século XVIII. Lizzy possui outras quatro irmãs, nenhuma delas casadas, o que Sra. Bennet, mãe de Lizzy, considera um absurdo. Quando Sr. Bingley, jovem bem sucedido, aluga uma mansão próxima da casa dos Bennet, Sra. Bennet vê nele um possível marido para uma de suas filhas. De fato, ele parece se interessar bastante por Jane, sua filha mais velha, logo no primeiro baile em que ele, as irmãs e o Sr. Darcy, seu amigo, comparecem. Enquanto Sr. Bingley é visto com bons olhos por todos, Sr. Darcy, por seu jeito frio, é mal falado. Lizzy, em particular, desgosta imensamente dele, por ele ter ferido seu orgulho na primeira vez em que se encontram. A recíproca não é verdadeira. Mesmo com uma má primeira impressão, Darcy realmente se encanta por Lizzy, sem que ela saiba do fato. A partir daí o livro mostra a evolução do relacionamento entre eles e os que os rodeiam, procurando apresentar também, desse modo, a sociedade do final do século XVIII.

Download or read book One Thread Pulled written by Diana J. Oaks and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the wealthy and handsome Fitzwilliam Darcy encounters the beautiful and lively Elizabeth Bennet at a small country ball, he loudly refuses to dance with her, declaring her to be merely tolerable. Fortunately for Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth has walked away and does not overhear his insult, thus snagging the thread that would have sealed her prejudice against the prideful stranger. Unexpectedly, circumstances thrust Elizabeth into the same household as Mr. Darcy, and her proximity unwittingly proves tempting, as her tantalizing wit and playfulness evoke desires that threaten to unravel his resolve against her. In this delightful re-imagining of Jane Austen's beloved classic, Pride and Prejudice, the players are the same, but the rules have changed as the dance between Darcy and Lizzy unfolds.

Download or read book O estranho caso do Doutor Jekyll e do Senhor Hyde The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published by Editora Landmark LTDA. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Escrito em 1886 pelo escocês Robert Louis Stevenson, o clássico conta a história de Gabriel Utterson, um advogado que acompanha os horrores acontecidos em Londres no final do século 19 por um misterioso homem que comete crimes e provoca a polícia metropolitana. O clima sombrio da capital inglesa contorna a história e dá o tom de mistério, pois mesmo durante o dia, a nevoa deixa a cidade escura, transformando os transeuntes em vultos fantasmagóricos. O contexto histórico do país também é transcrito na trama: avanço nas pesquisas e experimentos científicos, êxodo rural devido a Revolução Industrial que ali se instalara, contraste econômico, centro urbano em estado de caos, fumaça, poluição e aumento dos índices criminais, motivo pelo qual em 1829 foi criada a Scotland Yard, considerado por muitos, sua primeira citação na literatura. Pode-se afirmar que em meio a esta conjuntura, o lado tenebroso da sociedade vitoriana e a dualidade do homem foram discutidas na obra prima de STEVENSON, O ESTRANHO CASO DO DOUTOR JEKYLL E DO SENHOR HYDE, publicado com nova tradução e em edição bilíngue. A questão de todos terem em si o bem, cristalizado em condutas corretas e morais, e o mal, quando as convenções sociais são abstraídas e atos condenáveis são cometidos, é um tema atual e aplicável em diversos setores da vida, talvez seja este um dos motivos que torna O ESTRANHO CASO DO DR. JEKYLL E DO SENHOR HYDE um clássico imortal da literatura, afinal, quantas vezes nos deparamos com várias faces de uma mesma pessoa? A respeito do tema, o médico e escritor inglês Theodore Dalrymple afirma: "mesmo pessoas iletradas, que nunca leram um livro em suas vidas, fazem uso de Jekyll e Hyde enquanto metáfora".

Download or read book 1984 Nineteen Eighty four written by George Orwell and published by Landmark. This book was released on 2022-04-27 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Um livro para não esquecer. Um livro para despertar mentes. Uma sociedade hedionda, repugnante, desumana. 1984 : NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR oferece hoje uma descrição quase realista do vastíssimo sistema de fiscalização em que passaram a assentar as democracias capitalistas. A história se passa no ano de 1984, em um futuro distópico onde o Estado impõe um regime extremamente totalitário para a sociedade, através da vigilância do Grande Irmão, imposta pelo partido (Ingsoc), onde ninguém escapa do seu poder. Assim, o local do romance, Oceania, é dominado pelo medo e pela repressão, pois quem pensa contra o regime é acusado de cometer um crime (no livro, crimideia, ou crime de ideia, na tradução para a novilíngua, o idioma do futuro). O Grande Irmão já não é uma figura de estilo, mas sim, converteu-se numa vulgaridade quotidiana. É neste mundo opressivo que a personagem principal, que representa o contraponto ao regime, Winston Smith, logo começa a questionar o modo como age o Estado. Winston faz parte do Ministério da Verdade, sua função é falsificar registros históricos, a fim de moldar o passado à luz dos interesses do presente tirânico. Nesse cenário de submissão onde não há mais leis, mas sim inúmeras regras determinadas pelo Partido, ninguém nunca viu o Grande Irmão em pessoa. Uma sacada genial do autor: o tirano mais amedrontador é também aquele mais abstrato. Nos dias atuais, onde as fakenews imperam e o controle da sociedade nos mantém em perpétua vigilância, esta obra-prima da distopia torna-se cada vez mais atual.

Download or read book A volta do parafuso The turn of the screw written by Henry James and published by Editora Landmark LTDA. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Volta do Parafuso - The Turn of the Screw, de Henry James enquadra-se bem no gênero novela, em que o autor foi particularmente bem-sucedido, constituindo um paradigma desse formato. Em seu aparecimento - em quatro partes, nos primeiros meses de 1898 - foi considerado um dos maiores triunfos literários do autor, mas foi também tido como seu trabalho mais enigmático e controvertido. Fez enorme sucesso e tornou-se um dos trabalhos mais populares do autor. Mas, 'A Volta do Parafuso' provocou polêmica, porque nunca ficou claro se a preceptora, que narra a história de um casal de crianças possuído pelos espíritos de um criado de quarto e uma antecessora de sua função num casarão antigo em Bly, interior da Inglaterra, eram reais ou apenas fruto de uma imaginação obsessiva. Pelo viés da análise freudiana da reprimida sexualidade da era vitoriana, a preceptora, cheia de romantismo exaltado e sem experiência sexual alguma, podia ser vista como narradora altamente 'suspeita'. A nova edição bilíngue, em sua segunda edição, conta com a apurada tradução do jornalista, escritor e crítico de cinema Chico Lopes, que resgatou a história poderosamente sugestiva e que pode ir sendo descascada, camada por camada, sem que um miolo unívoco seja atingido. Entre as intenções de James e as interpretações que a novela suscitou, há um abismo curiosamente 'jamesiano'.
