O consórcio entre um corajoso editor e um erudito pesquisador, além de editor, faz deste livro uma peça importante para entender o Brasil pós-64. A análise da ideologia da época, através do exame do pensamento de Enio Silveira e suas denuncias como editor da Civilizaço Brasileira, aponta a resistencia e a vitoria, anos mais tarde, da democracia e da cultura brasileiras.Da infancia de Enio ate o trabalho na Companhia Editora Nacional e a refundaço da Civilizaço Brasileira, o Brasil recebeu um editor de primeira grandeza e forte engajamento politico, que vai definir a politica progressista do pais brandindo como arma a cultura e a arte impressas nos livros da CB. Os desmandos do governo militar so fustigados via os livros e a reaço vira pesada para a casa editorial. França expe a venda da Civilizaço para o banqueiro portugues Manuel Boullosa, fato pouco conhecido hoje dos brasileiros. A pesquisa nos desvela um Enio que, apesar de mantido como editor, vai se fragilizando aos poucos. Mas sua luta por um pais mais justo continuou, por tras das lombadas dos livros por ele publicados. Os fatos so assentados em larga documentaço, num trabalho a constar ao lado dos grandes exemplos academicos de pesquisa historica. Enio buscou guardar um lugar para si na historia brasileira. Conseguiu, acrescento eu. E Sergio França nos lega este trabalho de folego e de excelencia. Leitura imperdivel.Godofredo de Oliveira Neto Escritor e membro da Academia Brasileira de Letras

The Workhorse 2025 by Michael Walker Introduction: The saga is setlong before cities rose, when treasure maps were drawn on faded weathered parchmentthere lived a poor prospector named Juriel (pronounced "Zhuriel"), a man who believed fortune was always hiding just one day farther down the road. He dreamt of treasures, but mostly just gold. His only companion was a horse, though "companion" was far too loving a word for the way the prospector treated him. The horse had no real nameJuriel simply called him "Horse," as if he were only another tool to be packed or traded.Horse, however, as you will see, was no ordinary creature. He was enormousbroad-shouldered, thick-necked, and powerful in the way that ancient statues of heroes are powerful. His coat was jet black, smooth and glassy, shining like polished onyx even when the sun was hidden behind clouds, with one small puff of white in the center of his forehead. His mane flowed like liquid night, and his eyesdeep, dark, impossible to describehad a way of looking right through you, as if he saw something true no one else could see. Juriel was angry this morning! Angry enough to start to whip Horse for breaking a rope and eating the bag of oats he intended to sell. He raised his hand, the leather strap cutting through the humid air with a sharp whist. The horse merely stood there, unflinching, watching his master with those same deep, unreadable eyes, a silent testament to enduring patience and unrequited devotion.Just as Juriel raised his arm again, a voice drifted across the dusty street: "Why waste your strength on such a useless animal? Come herecome inside." The voice belonged to a strange old man standing in the doorway of a peculiar shopa small, crooked building made of dusty, weathered wood. A sign hung above the door, but you couldnt read the sign because it was cracked and faded. Something about that old man got Juriels attention and he froze, casted the whip aside, and followed the old man into a place of sheer magical wonder! The air inside was cool and smelled of dried herbs and ancient paper. The space was an intoxicating blend of musical sounds and soft, shifting light that caught Juriels gaze and held him captive. He was spellbound, momentarily forgetting his anger, his hunger, and even the gold he so desperately chased. The funny old fellow had a story to tell, and he told it to Juriel. A story about everything Juriel thought he ever wanted, and where to find a lot of it! Juriel yawned at the old mans philosophical ramblings, but he was truly enchanted by the atmosphere and by the prospect of immediate, tangible wealth. Finally, the old man gave Juriel a parchment, which held all that Juriel needed to obtain wealth far beyond his wildest dreams. In short, this is a saga that teaches the morals of caring for others, especially those who depend on you, are loyal to you and those who you need just as much or more. Never doubt the importance of those who would sacrifice everything for you, for those that will, are the only things you truly ever needIt is now time to start your journey, so find your most comfortable chair with ample light and settle in for an epic, cinematic thriller that will keep you on the edge of fantasy a...

How would a modern family survive a breakout of World War III. I always wondered what ordinary people would go through in the advent of another global catastrophe. With current weapons so powerful, and weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) widespread, a new world war would see devastation on a scale never seen before, with ordinary citizens suffering the most.This story aims to examine exactly that. It is set in a quiet suburban neighborhood, where life was ordinary; until the sirens began to wail. Overnight, World War III erupts, shattering the comfort of modern life and forcing the family to confront the unimaginable.Cut off from technology, government aid, and the world they once knew, they must learn to navigate this new reality. Blending gripping realism and emotional depth, this WW3 survival story captures the struggle of ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances.If you enjoy apocalyptic fiction, family survival dramas, and post-apocalyptic thrillers like Alas, Babylon, The Road, or One Second After, youll be hooked by this thought-provoking tale of resilience in the face of global war.

Find Strength in the Wilderness When life feels like a wildernessa place of uncertainty, exhaustion, and spiritual stumblingwhat do you hold on to? For many of us the past few years have been clouded by plagues ofillness and dying, anger and violence, disillusionment and loss. And numerous pharaohs, from the church house to the courthouse to the White House, appear to have risen up to withstand the move of God toward freedom and new life for his people. But the road to freedom is often through the wilderness, dying to what was, while we strain, through faith, to see the life we hope for just barely visible in the distance. In Enough for Today, Donna Barber offers forty reflections on howGod provides in unexpected and life-sustaining ways, drawing parallels to the manna that sustained the Israelites during their own wilderness journey. This devotional is designed for those whose spirits have been wearied by deconstruction, for justice seekers still trying to hold onto hope, and for anyone in need of spiritual refreshing amid the arid challenges of our present world. These forty reflections are an invitation to acknowledge your fears while still leaning into what is trueas you make your way through the wilderness. Through rich imagery, Barber invites you to rediscover the God of your first love and the places where you encountered him and to find a way forward with renewed hope and faith. What YoullFind in Enough for Today: Daily Reflections: Forty devotions to help you connect with God, even when your energy feels depleted Spiritual Insights: Different ways God meets youin wilderness seasons, often in surprising and unanticipated ways An Invitation to Rediscovery: Encouragement to hear Gods call, face your fears, and rediscover your own identity Whether youre a community leader, a weary advocate, or simply a seeker in need of direction, Enough for Today will provide the daily manna you need to persevere. If you have considered walking away, dont. Face your fears, rediscover your identity, and hear God calling you toward his reimagined promises.

The Crown of Grace follows Eliana, a quiet yet powerful woman whose life is shaped by faith, devotion, and unwavering trust in God. Through the simple rhythms of motherhood, marriage, and everyday challenges, she learns that true strength is gentle and true beauty is born in the secret place with God. Like the woman of Proverbs 31, Eliana rises with purpose, gives with love, and endures with grace-even when facing heartbreak, doubt, or waiting. Her journey reminds every woman that godliness is not perfection but surrender, and that God crowns those who walk with Him. This story is a tender celebration of womanhood, faith, and the quiet power of a heart fully yielded to the Lord.
