Playwright and raconteur Oscar Wilde embarks on another adventure as he sets sail for America in the 1880s on a roller coaster of a lecture tour. But the adventure doesn't truly begin until Oscar boards an ocean liner headed back across the Atlantic and joins a motley crew led by French impresario Edmond La Grange. As Oscar becomes entangled with the La Grange acting dynasty, he suspects that all is not as it seems. What begins with a curious death at sea soon escalates to a series of increasingly macabre tragedies once the troupe arrives in Paris to perform Hamlet. A strange air of indifference surrounds these seemingly random events, inciting Oscar to dig deeper, aided by his friends Robert Sherard and the divine Sarah Bernhardt. What he discovers is a horrifying secret -- one that may bring him closer to his own last chapter than anyone could have imagined. As intelligent as it is beguiling, this third installment in the richly historical mystery series is sure to captivate and entertain.

O TEMA ABORDADO NESTA OBRA nunca foi tão atual como neste momento pós-pandemia onde tantos contratos tiveram sua finalidade afetada, cabendo então a aplicação da teoria da base objetiva do negócio jurídico para justificar a sua revisão. Embora aplicável mesmo em tempos normais, como ocorreu com o problema que inspirou este estudo, é certo que a teoria da base objetiva do negócio jurídico ganhou relevância e foi aperfeiçoada para o formato como hoje a conhecemos justamente em um período de grande instabilidade econômica e social trazida pelos períodos da Primeira e Segunda Guerras Mundiais. Hoje, em um período de equivalente instabilidade gerada pela terrível pandemia do COVID19, o tema deve novamente recuperar sua posição de destaque. A presente obra quer demonstrar como essa importante teoria entra no nosso ordenamento jurídico através do Código Civil de 2002, podendo ser aplicada quando um contrato tem sua finalidade prejudicada.

The book presents an overview of the two central terms and their development since their contemporaneous appearance in cultural and historiographical discourses in the early twentieth century, comprising fifteen essays written by specialists on particular regimes situated in a wide variety of time periods and places. Interdisciplinary in nature, this compelling work will appeal to students from Music and Jazz Studies to Political Science, Sociology, and Cultural Theory.
