Do Combate aos Crimes Financeiros e Tributários
A corrupção é, sem dúvida, um dos maiores males que assola a humanidade, porque cruel, ela contribui para a dor na fila dos hospitais, na mesa vazia do desvalido, eis que, sorrateira, cresce e se desenvolve na escuridão do analfabetismo. Eis aí a razão pela qual se deve combatê-la, lutando no exercício de regate da cidadania, pouco importando se a tarefa é difícil. Sim, porque as mãos que a praticam, embora sujas, não deixam pegadas na quase totalidade das vezes. (...) É de todo oportuna, imperiosa, vigorosa a expressão de um enérgico grito de basta, a exigir um ponto final à impunidade, à cavilosa proteção mútua de certos homens que, sob pretexto de cuidar dos interesses de todos só o faziam em benefício próprio e em detrimento da sociedade. Basta! Basta! José Bernardo Cabral in Prefácio Relator-geral da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte que elaborou a Constituição Federal de 1988.
Do Combate à Improbidade Administrativa
O livro conta com o artigo "Mani Pulite" do Ministro da Justiça e Segurança Pública, Sérgio Moro. (...) a grande temática, hoje, nas lides jurídicas é de saber como combater a corrupção – e tem sido combatida- com respeito aos direitos e garantias constitucionais – o que nem sempre tem ocorrido –, num Estado Democrático, em que o equilíbrio e a harmonia dos Poderes são fundamentais para o exercício da cidadania e a manutenção da justiça democrática. É o que os brilhantes autores trazem à reflexão do universo jurídico brasileiro, com variada linha de estudos, nos quais tais facetas são apontadas. In Prefácio, de Ives Gandra da Silva Martins
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.
The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
A História da Aviação
Piloto de avião é uma daquelas profissões que nem todos pensam ser capazes de seguir. Afinal, além de amar as alturas, é preciso ter responsabilidade para dirigir uma máquina dessas com dezenas – ou centenas – de passageiros a bordo. Por outro lado, existem aqueles que ficam apavorados só de pensar em embarcar em um avião, seja para uma simples ponte aérea. Mas é difícil também encontrar alguém que não fique fascinado com o assunto “aviação”. Afinal, como é possível algo mais pesado que o ar voar? Por isso, a repórter Juliana Saporito preparou esta edição especialíssima de Conhecer Fantástico. Ao longo de cada matéria, apresentamos as faces da aviação, desde...
Wings of Madness
"By the turn of the century, Santos-Dumont had moved to Paris. Soon, the dashing and impeccably dressed aeronaut was barhopping around the city in a one-man dirigible he invented, circling above crowds and crashing into rooftops. Eventually, he would join the world-wide competition to build the first true airplane. Once he succeeded, the press hailed him as the man who had conquered the air. (Because the Wright brothers worked in near secrecy, word of their first flights had not widely reached Europe when Santos-Dumon took to the skies.) His picture appeared on cigar boxes and dinner plates and he dined regularly with the Cartiers, the Rothschilds, and the Roosevelts, hosting "aerial dinners" in which his guests ate at an elevated table so they could imagine how it felt to be above the world." "But all would change after Santos-Dumont witnessed the destructive capacity of flying machines in World War I."--BOOK JACKET.
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.
