Esta publicação, organizada a partir do projeto "Caminhos para a Autonomia – trajetórias dos egressos do Ensino Médio Integrado do IFRS Campus Osório", é um esforço coletivo em compreender os egressos, indivíduos que concluíram sua formação em um espaço escolar. Os trabalhos que compõem esta obra nos mostram, a partir de diferentes realidades institucionais e perspectivas, que não se tratam de meros conhecimentos técnicos obtidos pelos sujeitos durante o Ensino Médio ou Superior, mas um conjunto de experiências que se refletem em suas trajetórias de vida: origens familiares, espaços de socialização, redes de apoio, vínculos com o mundo do trabalho, projetos de vida e possibilidades de efetivá-los. Nesse sentido, os artigos aqui reunidos apontam para importância de projetos que acompanhem os percursos de egressos e fortaleçam seus vínculos com as instituições de origem, de forma a compartilharem suas experiências e contribuir para a construção de autonomias baseadas em uma educação omnilateral. A publicação contou com apoio do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul.

INTRODUCED BY JANE GARDAM 'A small Gothic masterpiece . . . I have read it many times, and with every re-read I marvel again at its many qualities' SARAH WATERS 'It projects its fantastic story with a tangible realness . . . A wonderful and original novel' ALAN HOLLINGHURST 'She shows mastery of the structures of a fast-moving narrative and a consistent backdrop to the ecstasies and agonies of the human condition' JANE GARDAM, SPECTATOR Growing up in Edwardian South London, Alice Rowlands longs for romance and excitement, for a release from a life that is dreary, restrictive and lonely. Her father, a vet, is harsh and domineering; his new girlfriend brash and lascivious. Alice seeks refuge in memories and fantasies, in her rapturous longing for Nicholas, a handsome young sailor and in the blossoming of what she perceives as her occult powers. A series of strange events unfolds that leads her, dressed in bridal white to a scene of ecstatic triumph and disaster among the crowds on Clapham Common. The Vet's Daughter is a uniquely vivid, witty and touching story of love and mystery.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER A beautiful book to connect us after such a challenging time. 'Dark clouds were looming in the distance. We watched them gather, and we wondered... When will it come? How long will it last?' A monumental storm brings huge and sudden change. We follow a man and his dog through the uncertainty that it brings to their lives. Through their eyes, we see the difficulties of being apart, the rollercoaster of emotions that we can all relate to, and the realisation that by pulling together we can move through difficult times with new perspective, hope and an appreciation of what matters most in life. Luke has dedicated the book to his late grandfather, who was a key figure in his life. The main characters are based on his grandfather and his own dog, Robin, who offers a reassuring guide through the challenges of the storm. It's a story with very personal emotion, but one that speaks to us all. 'Though clouds may gather again, and we may see other storms, we have realised most of all that we are stronger facing them... Together.'
