Mirabilia: contos de Natal é o conjunto de maravilhas que nasceu do encontro entre pessoas que cultivavam o sonho de escrever.

São provas honestas de uma experiência que virou alegria, sonho realizado, uma mirabilia coletiva.

Mais do que entender o nome, os contos procuram desvendar os destinos e sinas que essas pessoas carregam, em um exercício de empatia e compreensão oferecido pelo Ateliê de Narrativas Socorro Acioli.

Shakespeare se tornou o dramaturgo mais conhecido de todos os tempos por várias razões: era genial com as palavras, entendia a alma humana como ninguém e falava de temas universais. No entanto, parte de sua popularidade se deve aos irmãos Charles e Mary Lamb, que, ao adaptarem vinte peças para o formato de conto, tornaram as histórias do autor inglês acessíveis a pessoas de diferentes idades e gêneros, em diversas partes do mundo. Publicados em 1807, os contos dos Lamb eram destinados apenas ao público infantojuvenil e jovens senhoras....
