If Anything Happens I Love You
We feel so strongly in the power of this book to start an important conversation that we’re offering it free through October 26, 2022. "Heavy pain exquisitely rendered."" Kirkus Starred Review Based on the Academy Award-winning animated short by the same name, If Anything Happens I Love You is a young adult graphic novel that follows two parents as they reckon with the loss of their young daughter, Rose, in a school shooting. Readers follow Rose from “above” as she watches her parents slowly break down under the weight and pain of their loss. Throughout the novel, Rose’s soul seeks to help her parents reconnect. We learn who Rose was and how much life she lived in her short time. By incorporating a wide range of characters, her boyfriend, teacher, and her cat, Rose is able to introduce healing into the lives of the people she left behind. If Anything Happens I Love You may be a story about loss, but in it we see ourselves—in the grief, the pain, and, most importantly, in the fight toward human connection, love, and acceptance.
Mulheres de Ditadores
Chamavam-se Inessa, Clara, Nadia, Magda, Felismina, Jiang Qing, Elena, Catherine... E eles Lenine, Mussolini, Estaline, Hitler, Salazar, Mao, Ceausescu, Bokassa. Prostitutas ou mulheres da alta burguesia intelectual, paixões fugazes ou amores intensos, eles maltratavam ou adoravam-nas, mas, sistematicamente, voltavam para os seus braços. Esposas, companheiras, musas, admiradoras, todas têm em comum o facto de terem sido vencedoras, enganadas e sacrificadas. Aos seus homens cruéis, violentos, tiranos e infiéis, faziam crer que eram belos, charmosos e todo-poderosos. Sendo a virilidade um dos alicerces do poder absoluto, os ditadores sentiam a necessidade de juntar figuras femininas ao imaginário de poder e domínio que criaram. E assim controlando-os na sombra, por vezes, até à morte, como se vivessem sob a égide de um Pigmaleão. Diane Ducret relata em detalhe os momentos, as estratégias de sedução, os casos amorosos, as intervenções políticas e os destinos diversos, ocasionalmente trágicos, das mulheres que cruzaram o caminho ou passaram pelo leito dos ditadores.
