Três deliciosos contos oriundos do clássico "Brás, Bexiga e Barra Funda", onde Alcântara Machado explora os italianismos de São Paulo do início do século XX, com o pobre menino Gaetaninho e seu sonho premonitório, a sedução que o automóvel exerce sobre Carmela e, por fim, o sonho da riqueza do esperto comerciante Natale e sua esposa.

Duas pérolas do livro "Laranja-da-China", de Alcântara Machado. Em "O revoltado Robespierre", um curto trajeto de bonde feito pelo personagem é transformando em narrativa com base em seus gestos e comentários. Em "O patriota Washignton", outra viagem, esta de automóvel, de São Paulo a Mogi das Cruzes, é o alicerce para a exposição do patriotismo exagerado do protagonista.

Dois contos com a usual excelência Alcântara Machado na constituição das personagens! Em "A piedosa Teresa", a linguagem coloquial dos participantes da festa vai se costurando à letra da canção de São Gonçalo, para trazer ao leitor o universo de Dona Teresa. Já em "O tímido José", a violência na madrugada fria de São Paulo é quem domina a cena.

«Scoprii che esiste un’altra parola per definire una foiba, dolina, e provai a usarla per sostituire quel brutto termine nella mia testa – dolina portava con sé tutta una languida atmosfera ungarettiana, mi faceva sentire una docile fibra dell'universo. Ma non ce l’ho fatta: il termine dolina non ha attecchito. Non si può mettere in mezzo la poesia per attenuare il suono dei cadaveri che scricchiolano sotto le scarpe.» L'Istria è un luogo meraviglioso per passarci le vacanze.

Se trata de una historia que ocurre en la ciudad de Barcelona donde se tocan temas referentes al conocimiento en distintas áreas; filosofía, arte, historia, libros y temas de la sociedad en general, como el alquiler de habitación en piso compartido (muy de moda en una ciudad donde llegan muchos extranjeros). Siempre está la naturaleza presente y el recuerdo de los rituales y la magia, que se asocia a la intuición y a los anhelos. Las situaciones ocurren en la Barcelona cosmopolita, en la cocina de un restaurante en el Collserola y en las calles del centro de la ciudad.

Hard Times is the tenth novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1854. The book surveys English society and satirizes the social and economic conditions of the era. Hard Times is unusual in several ways. It is by far the shortest of Dickens's novels, barely a quarter of the length of those written immediately before and after it. Moreover, it is his only novel not to have scenes set in London. Instead, the story is set in the fictitious Victorian industrial Coketown, a generic Northern English mill-town.

Jumping through snapshots of Sylvia's life—from childhood to something resembling adulthood—this novel is about square pegs and round holes, those who belong and those on the fringes.

All are trying to save the marriage of Nona’s half-brother, Jim Wyant, and his wife Lita.
