The Seventh Train
The Seventh Train is a ride - a ‘road movie’ on the railways. It’s a journey that Elizabeth invented; the only original thought she has ever had in her previously uneventful life. Unbeknown to her, she is not travelling alone. If only she’d pretended that the spare seat was taken.
Sleeping Through War
Set against the backdrop of real, world-changing events, these are the stories that are forgotten in the history books. The year is 1968 and the world is changing forever. During the month of May, students are rioting and workers are striking across the globe, civil rights are being fought and died for, nuclear bombs are being tested, there are major conflicts on every continent, and war is raging in Vietnam. Against this volatile background, three women strive to keep everything together. Rose must keep her dignity and compassion as a West Indian nurse in East London. Amalia must keep hoping that her son can escape their seedy life in Lisbon. And Mrs Johnson in Washington DC must keep writi...
Notebook Number Nine
When all the lies and hypocrisy of the world become too much to ignore; when you see it all so clearly that you can’t erase the image from your mind, what do you do? When the thin veil of conformity drops from Bekki’s eyes she doesn’t know what to do either, so she sits down and writes a letter. Alice replies. But who is Alice? And is it even possible for ‘normal’ people to undertake a true journey of self-improvement without running away to a monastery up a mountain? Bekki is going to find out. Notebook Number Nine is a life-affirming, often humorous story of self-discovery and what it simply means to be human.
The Midnight of Eights
1580. Nelan Michaels docks at Plymouth after sailing around the world aboard the Golden Hind. He seeks only to master his mystical powers – the mark of the salamander, that mysterious spirit of fire – and reunite with his beloved Eleanor. After delivering a message to Francis Walsingham, he’s recruited into the service of the Queen’s spymaster, where his astral abilities help him to predict and thwart future plots against the realm. But in 1588, the Spanish Armada threatens England’s shores. So how could the fledgling navy of a small, misty isle on the edge of mainland Europe repulse the greatest fleet in the world? Was the Queen right when she claimed it was divine intervention, saying, ‘He blew with His winds, and they were scattered!’? Or was it an entirely different intervention – the extraordinary conjunction of coincidences that Nelan’s astral powers brought to bear on that fateful Midnight of Eights?
The Genes of Isis
Akasha is a precocious young girl with dreams of motherhood. She lives in a fantastical world where most of the oceans circulate in the aquamarine sky waters. Before she was born, the Helios, a tribe of angels from the sun, came to Earth to deliver the Surge, the next step in the evolution of an embryonic human race. Instead they spawned a race of hybrids and infected humanity with a hybrid seed. Horque manifests on Earth with another tribe of angels, the Solarii, to rescue the genetic mix-up and release the Surge. Akasha embarks on a journey from maiden to mother and from apprentice to priestess then has a premonition that a great flood is imminent. All three races – humans, hybrids and Solarii – face extinction. With their world in crisis, Akasha and Horque meet, and a sublime love flashes between them. Is this a cause of hope for humanity and the Solarii? Or will the hybrids destroy them both? Will anyone survive the killing waters of the coming apocalypse?

Cultura do Automóvel Ed. 41
Foi quanto caminhamos em duas semanas nas feiras da Pensilvânia. Isso cada um, eu e meu filho Guilherme, estreante nesse tipo de aventura e que levou consigo um contador de passos. O tamanho dos dois locais, conforme as fotos na página ao lado, justifica esse número. A bela fotografia da capa, por sinal, é dele.
Chaplin - Uma biografia definitiva
O maior ícone da história do cinema, Charlie Chaplin, viveu uma das mais dramáticas jornadas da pobreza à fama. Sua vida foi marcada por contrastes extraordinários: a criança de um bairro pobre de Londres que se tornou multimilionário; o palhaço cinematográfico que era um perfeccionista compulsivo por trás das câmeras; o astro bajulado que caiu publicamente em desgraça após escândalos pessoais e políticos. Esta biografia, definitiva e atraente, é a única a ter tido acesso irrestrito aos arquivos de Chaplin. A presente edição oferece um variado conjunto de fotos e a mais completa filmografia do gênio. Inclui também novo material revelador acerca dos casamentos de Chaplin, seu caso com a atriz Louise Brooks, a perseguição que ele sofreu do FBI durante a caça aos comunistas, revelando o papel da agência no caso de "prostituição" aberto contra ele, e a importância do filme de Richard Attenborough, Chaplin.
