El libro de Débora Madrid explora, analiza, y cuestiona la extraña historia (reciente) de la ciencia ficción cinematográfica en España navegando con pulso firme en un mar agitado por esas dos perspectivas.

El contenido narrativo que resulta inherente al cómic, en sus diferentes prismas, desde la forma en la que la narración condiciona a las imágenes hasta la diferenciación que posee la narración en viñetas con respecto a otros medios expresivos, busca «dejarse ver» a través de esta publicación.

Un enfoque interdisciplinar, tratando de constituirse como un fuerte cimiento para seguir levantando nuestros conocimientos sobre el Noveno Arte.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar a natureza jurídica, características, efeitos e exeqüibilidade da opção de compra. O interesse pela matéria foi despertado em razão de dois motivos especiais: em primeiro lugar, pela verificação de inexistência de uma posição dominante – aliás da existência de uma grande diversidade de opiniões – acerca da natureza jurídica da opção de compra; e em segundo lugar pela constatação, dada a ausência de uma regulamentação legal específica do instituto no Brasil, de inúmeras limitações e deficiências para a sua utilização adequada, especialmente na esfera do Direito Imobiliário.
