PROTOCOLOS INSTITUCIONAIS E PODER PÚBLICO
Os entes públicos figuram entre os litigantes habituais brasileiros. Lidar com o quantitativo de processos decorrentes dessa atuação é um desafio constante para a organização administrativa do poder público, por meio de suas procuradorias, e para o judiciário por meio de sua organização judiciária. As soluções adotadas para buscar o tratamento adequado desses processos, normalmente, são unilaterais, seja o Judiciário estruturando varas privativas para assuntos relacionados aos entes públicos ou estes praticando atos processuais voltados ao gerenciamento do vultoso passivo que essas causas constituem.
Epistemologia Jurídica
"Sendo o acesso do ser humano à realidade – seja ela ideal, natural ou cultural – precário, e, nessa condição, falível, o que fazer? Não acreditar em nada, pois não há certeza de que nossas crenças sobre o mundo são corretas? Ou, ao contrário, acreditar em qualquer coisa? Que postura seria mais adequado adotar, diante da ineliminável possibilidade de se estar errado? Coincidentemente, a pandemia, e tantos debates públicos, e polêmicas, em torno de assuntos como a eficácia de vacinas, as verdadeiras causas da doença ou a eficiência de certos tratamentos, tornaram alguns temas ainda mais atuais, e de mais claras repercussões práticas. Falar sobre ciência, usando sua fal...
The Kite Runner
Afghanistan, 1975: Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament and his loyal friend Hassan promises to help him. But neither of the boys can foresee what will happen to Hassan that afternoon, an event that is to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return to Afghanistan under Taliban rule to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.
A Thousand Splendid Suns
Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism.
Self Portrait in Green
'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.
Home Reading Service
In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca. Once a quiet town known for its lush gardens and swimming pools, the “City of Eternal Spring” is now plagued by robberies, kidnappings, and the other myriad ...
Minor Detail

Labyrinth
Notable International Crime Novel of the Year – Crime Reads / Lit Hub From a prize-winning Turkish novelist, a heady, political tale of one man’s search for identity and meaning in Istanbul after the loss of his memory. A blues singer, Boratin, attempts suicide by jumping off the Bosphorus Bridge, but opens his eyes in the hospital. He has lost his memory, and can't recall why he wished to end his life. He remembers only things that are unrelated to himself, but confuses their timing. He knows that the Ottoman Empire fell, and that the last sultan died, but has no idea when. His mind falters when remembering civilizations, while life, like a labyrinth, leads him down different paths. From the confusion of his social and individual memory, he is faced with two questions. Does physical recognition provide a sense of identity? Which is more liberating for a man, or a society: knowing the past, or forgetting it? Embroidered with Borgesian micro-stories, Labyrinth flows smoothly on the surface while traversing sharp bends beneath the current.
