On the planet Furaha, Gert van Dijk creates a biosphere on a new world along with its solar system. Evolution on Furaha found solutions to lifes problems that remained unused on Earth. There are in-depth accounts of habitats where marshland mixotrophs use bioluminescence to catch animals, where four-sided radial cloakfishes swim in tropical waters and where tetrapters flitter through the air, using radial flight. With over 180 stunning illustrations, this is a book that all fans of science fiction, biology and science will enjoy, and that will inspire artists to think beyond the limitations of our own planet.Major works on speculative biology are rare but Furaha is a welcome addition to the genre and gives a well-considered account of life on another planet, along with stunning illustrations. This is a must-read book, which I heartily recommend. ~ Dougal Dixon The father of speculative zoology

In the landscape of personal development, a pervasive myth suggests that high achievement is the product of an unyielding, passionate internal drive. This perpetual fire propels individuals through obstacles without fatigue. This cultural narrative venerates "motivation" as the primary driver of success, implying that those who fail to achieve their goals simply lack the requisite desire. However, a rigorous examination of human psychology and neurobiology reveals that this reliance on motivation is fundamentally flawed. Motivation is not a stable trait; it is a transient neurochemical state, subject to the vicissitudes of circadian rhythms, blood glucose levels, emotional volatility, and environmental stimuli.

For the beginner seeking to master their money flow, understanding these macroeconomic currents is not merely an academic exercise; it is a prerequisite for survival and growth.

"A Semana das Cores" é livro seminal de Elena Garro (1916-1998), escritora até hoje considerada uma das mais importante do México, que inspirou muitos autores latino-americanos e trouxe um olhar renovado sobre a beleza e a violencia que tanto demarca a trajetoria do Mexico.Publicado em 1964, o livro consiste em treze contos que se associam ao realismo magico, famosa corrente literaria latino-americana. Suas historias acontecem em diferentes espaços urbanos e rurais do Mexico, trazendo como temas a injustiça social, a questo de genero, a pobreza e a corrupço dentro de cenarios e situaçes carregadas de magia muitas delas associada a memoria e a cosmoviso indigena.Considerado um dos maiores classicos do nosso continente, "A Semana das Cores" nunca foi publicado no Brasil. Dessa forma, sera publicado como o 12º livro da Coleço Prosa Latino-americana em traduço inedita, com capa dura, ilustraçes internas e texto de apoio.

A Morte de Artemio Cruz (1962) narra as últimas horas de vida de um antigo revolucionário mexicano, agora um poderoso empresário, que está morrendo em seu leito, velho e doente, dentro do quarto de uma manso da Cidade do Mexico. A historia se desenrola a partir da consciencia fragmentada de Artemio, misturando suas lembranças, delirios e pensamentos imediatos. Por meio de uma estrutura narrativa inovadora que alterna entre a primeira, segunda e terceira pessoa , o romance mergulha no passado do protagonista: da juventude idealista na Revoluço Mexicana a sua ascenso politica e economica marcada por traiçes, oportunismo e perdas morais. Em meio a suas recordaçes de amores perdidos, decises crueis e pactos com o poder , Artemio Cruz torna-se uma metafora do Mexico do seculo XX: um pais marcado por lutas libertarias que se converteram em estruturas autoritarias e desiguais. O romance de Fuentes, portanto, vai alem do retrato individual e assume um papel critico e historico, denunciando as distorçes do poder e a falencia dos ideais revolucionarios.

María, de Jorge Isaacs, é uma das obras mais emblemáticas do romantismo latino-americano. Publicado em 1867, o romance tornou-se um marco da literatura do século XIX por sua prosa lírica, seu profundo senso de melancolia e pela maneira como entrelaça amor, memoria e natureza. Ambientado no exuberante Vale do Cauca, na Colombia, o livro encanta geraçes de leitores com sua delicadeza emocional e riqueza descritiva. Mais do que uma historia de amor, Maria e um retrato da juventude idealizada, dos laços familiares e do tempo que transforma todas as coisas. Sua importancia na tradiço literaria hispano-americana o coloca ao lado dos grandes classicos universais.
