Trinta e três de agosto
A vida, cada vida, mesmo a que parece sempre tão igual a si mesma e a tantas outras, encontram na autora portuguesa Raquel Laranjeira Pais uma retratista minuciosa. Todos os seus contos trazem na receita uma pitada ou mais de aflição. Momentos de crise e momentos de libertação. De um jeito, e numa sintaxe, muito lusitano e muito brasileiro, as personagens buscam fazer sentido primeiramente para elas mesmas. Quase sempre femininas, tentam abrir caminho – ou entender onde saíram da trilha certa – numa selva urbana de plantas domesticadas e animais indomesticáveis. Há muitos e diversos bichos nas histórias de Raquel e todos são personagens involuntárias e indiferentes do drama humano. Mas indiferença é uma das sensações que o leitor deste livro não terá.

Following an alphabetical listing of families, genera and species, detailed descriptions are given, including the taxonomy with synonyms, data on the distribution and ecology, references, and keys to genera, species or subspecies. Over 2000 superb colour photographs complete this inventory of succulent plants.

Paula
When Isabel Allende's daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, the author began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. In the telling, bizarre ancestors appear before our eyes; we hear both delightful and bitter childhood memories, amazing anecdotes of youthful years, and the most intimate secrets passed along in whispers. With Paula, Allende has written a powerful autobiography whose straightforward acceptance of the magical and spiritual worlds will remind readers of her first book, The House of the Spirits.
