Norah's Secrets by Samia Shariff EN
FranceDescription:
The many vicissitudes in Norah’s story possess an empowering impudence which leads to believe that, despite the prevailing fundamentalism in some countries, the new generation of Muslim women will not be silently crushed and humiliated as were its predecessors. Norah’s undaunted strength and hope for a brighter future are characteristics which somehow prevail in those whose destinies are held captive by perpetrators who use religion and sacred scriptures as an excuse to torment their victims at will.

Os sofrimentos do jovem Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe PT
Description:
As histórias de amor devem muito a Johann Wolfgang Goethe e seu Os sofrimentos do jovem Werther, obra escrita em 1774 e que, desde então, tornou-se uma referência da literatura mundial. Poucos livros tiveram a repercussão imediata que esse clássico conseguiu, certamente pela forma pungente, desabrida e catártica com que o protagonista evocado no título, Werther, figura da alta aristocracia germânica, destrincha o seu amor — na verdade, algo mais próximo à obsessão — que nutre pela bela Charlotte. O livro é narrado numa estrutura epistolar: conhecemos as danações de Werther por meio de cartas q... continue

Over Normaliteit En Andere Afwijkingen by Paul Verhaeghe NL
BelgiumDescription:
Zodra er een ?verwarde man? in het nieuws opduikt staat er een leger aan journalisten en deskundigen klaar om hem psychologisch te duiden. Maar gaat het de tv-psychologen en -psychiaters eigenlijk om de verwarde, of om de ?gewone man?? Ik ben toch niet gek?! Waar komt de angst voor het abnormale en irrationele vandaan? Vrezen we de ander, of worden we onzeker over hoe normaal we zelf eigenlijk zijn?0In 'Geschiedenis van de waanzin' (1961) wijst de Franse filosoof Michel Foucault de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw aan als het begin van de systematische bestudering van de waanzin. Het denken over... continue

Perto do coração selvagem by Clarice Lispector PT
UkraineDescription:
O surgimento de Perto do coração selvagem, em 1943, causou grande impacto no cenário literário brasileiro, proporcionando à autora aclamação imediata da crítica e de seus colegas escritores. Houve quem encontrasse no livro a influência de Virginia Woolf, ao passo que outros apostavam em Joyce, seguindo a falsa pista da epígrafe da qual Clarice pinçou seu título: "Ele estava só. Estava abandonado, feliz, perto do coração selvagem da vida." Ambos os grupos estavam errados, apesar do uso do fluxo de consciência pela escritora estreante a justificar tais correlações. Ocorre, no entanto, que esse h... continue
