Experience “one of the best adventure books ever written” (Wall Street Journal) in this New York Times bestseller: the harrowing tale of British explorer Ernest Shackleton's 1914 attempt to reach the South Pole. In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the Endurance and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men. When their ship was finally crushed between two ice floes, they attempted a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization. In Endurance, the definitive account of Ernest Shackleton's fateful trip, Alfred Lansing brilliantly narrates the harrowing and miraculous voyage that has defined heroism for the modern age.
Nessa obra magistral, o espírito Palminha, nos conduz a saga relativa ao povo persa em seus momentos primevos dentro da experiência humana. Junto a ele surge a figura ímpar do imperador Ciro II, junto ao seu inseparável amigo Tahrif. E assim, Palminha sutilmente nos remete portões adentro de Babilônia, fala-nos de seu povo, de seus costumes, dos acontecimentos que se passaram sobre o velário do tempo, os momentos vividos pelo povo judeu em seu cativeiro de dores e sofrimentos, e o planejamento superior confiado a Ciro o "Grande" no que diz respeito à libertação daquele povo.
A Ética tecendo a cultura e o conhecimento é fruto das reflexões de uma pedagoga que também é formada em Direito. Ou será fruto de uma bacharel em Direito que é pedagoga? Sem dúvida, essas duas formações acadêmicas conferem à obra característica textual autoral ímpar, imprimindo identidade à escrita, que ultrapassa o "juridiquês" e o "eduquês". Envolta em dilemas próprios e alheios, que envolvem os valores que regem a vida em sociedade, a autora discorre sobre a Ética – que não é mais um tema exclusivo da Filosofia – como uma espécie de fio que costura uma abordagem teórica no campo da Educação, uma análise de como é a sua presença em cursos de graduação e c...

Written over the course of Fernando Pessoa's life, The Book of Disquiet was first published in 1982, pieced together from the thousands of individual manuscript pages left behind after his death in 1935. Now this fragmentary modernist masterpiece appears in a major new edition that unites Margaret Jull Costa's celebrated translation with previously missing texts, presented for the first time in order of composition and accompanied by facsimiles of the original manuscript. A mosaic of dreams and a hymn to the streets and cafés of 1930s Lisbon, The Book of Disquiet is an extraordinary record of the inner life of one of the century's most important writers.

My grandfather William Shortpaws—also known as Cheap Mouse Willy—was back at The Rodent’s Gazette, and he was determined to torture me. He wanted to publish a guide book to Ratzikistan, the Siberia of Mouse Island. And he ordered *me* to go there to write it! But as you know, dear reader, I HATE TRAVELING!

As the creator of Sherlock Holmes, "the world's most famous man who never was," Arthur Conan Doyle remains one of our favorite writers; his work is read with affection—and sometimes obsession—the world over. Doctor, writer, spiritualist: his life was no less fascinating than his fiction. Conan Doyle grew up in relative poverty in Edinburgh, with the mental illness of his artistically gifted but alcoholic father casting a shadow over his early life. He struggled both as a young doctor and in his early attempts to sell short stories, having only limited success until Sherlock Holmes became a publishing phenomenon and propelled him to worldwide fame. While he enjoyed the celebrity Holmes br...
