A moreninha
Este livro traz um romance de costumes e remete ao comportamento da aristocracia burguesa do Brasil do século XIX. É um mundo da festa, do lazer despreocupado com a sobrevivência, como se a maior prioridade dos personagens fosse o tempo, sobre o qual derramam seus conflitos juvenis e sua ingenuidades de adolescentes. Na Ilha de Paquetá, dois jovens - que se conheceram ainda crianças e trocaram presentes e juras de amor - se reencontram e têm que passar por muitas provações e vencer muitas intrigas. (FTD Educação)
SENHORA
"It is a truth universally acknowledged . . ." that a single woman in possession of a good character but no fortune must be in want of a wealthy husband—that is, if she is the heroine of a nineteenth-century novel. Senhora, by contrast, turns the tables on this familiar plot. Its strong-willed, independent heroine Aurélia uses newly inherited wealth to "buy back" and exact revenge on the fiancé who had left her for a woman with a more enticing dowry. This exciting Brazilian novel, originally published in 1875 and here translated into English for the first time, raises many questions about traditional gender relationships, the commercial nature of marriage, and the institution of the dowry. While conventional marital roles triumph in the end, the novel still offers realistic insights into the social and economic structure of Rio de Janeiro in the mid-1800s. With its unexpected plot, it also opens important new perspectives on the nineteenth-century Romantic novel.
