Livro: THE KITE RUNNER
Autor: Hosseini, Khaled
Editora: Penguin Usa 
Idioma: Inglês

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father's servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption, and it is also about the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.
The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner tells a sweeping story of family, love, and friendship against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before, bringing to mind the large canvases of the Russian writers of the nineteenth century. But just as it is old-fashioned in its narration, it is contemporary in its subject—the devastating history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years. As emotionally gripping as it is tender, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful debut. 

Livro: NUNCA DESISTA DE SEUS SONHOS
Autor: Cury , Augusto
Editora: Sextante / Gmt
Idioma: Português

Com mais de um milhão de livros vendidos sobre temas como crescimento pessoal, inteligência e qualidade de vida, o psiquiatra Augusto Cury debruça-se neste livro sobre nossa capacidade de sonhar e o quanto ela é fundamental na realização de nossos projetos de vida. Os sonhos são como uma bússola, indicando os caminhos que seguiremos e as metas que queremos alcançar. São eles que nos impulsionam, nos fortalecem e nos permitem crescer. Se os sonhos são pequenos, nossas possibilidades de sucesso também serão limitadas. Desistir dos sonhos é abrir mão da felicidade porque quem não persegue seus objetivos está condenado a fracassar 100 % das vezes. Analisando a trajetória vitoriosa de grandes sonhadores, como Jesus Cristo, Abraão Lincoln e Martin Luther King, Cury nos faz repensar nossa vida e nos inspira a não deixar nossos sonhos morrerem.

Livro: O QUE EU AMAVA
Autor: Hustvedt, Siri
Editora: Companhia das Letras   
Idioma: Português

Em 1975, o historiador da arte Leo Hertxberg visita uma galeria do SoHo, em Nova York , e sente-se atraído por um quadro de William Wechsker, pintor que até então desconhece. Fascinado pela obra, compra o quadro e vai atrás do artista. É o início de uma amizade duradoura. Leo e William vão morar no mesmo prédio, com as respectivas mulheres, e tornam-se pais na mesma época. No entanto, os anos de felicidade serão abalados - primeiro por uma tragédia, depois por um caso de dupla personalidade. Anos depois do primeiro encontro, Leo retraça o envolvimento afetivo com o amigo, e revê a história das duas famílias. Extremamente envolvente, "O Que Eu Amava" é um romance familiar e um thriller psicológico. Hustvedt aborda temas como amizade, amor, arte e loucura, conduzindo o leitor a regiões obscuras da existência, que podem, paradoxalmente, iluminar uma vida toda.

Livro: THE TRUTH ABOUT MELODY BROWNE
Autor: Jewell, Lisa
Editora: Century  
Idioma: Inglês

When she was nine years old, Melody Browne's house burned down, taking every toy, every photograph, every item of clothing and old Christmas card with it. But not only did the fire destroy all her possessions, it took with it all her memories - Melody Browne can remember nothing before her ninth birthday. Now in her early thirties, Melody lives in a council flat in the middle of London with her seventeen-year-old son. She hasn't seen her parents since she left home at fifteen, but Melody doesn't mind, she's better off on her own. She's made a good life for herself and her son and she likes it that way. Until one night something extraordinary happens. Whilst attending a hypnotist show with her first date in years she faints - and when she comes round she starts to remember. At first her memories mean nothing to her but then slowly, day by day, she begins to piece together the real story of her childhood. Her journey takes her to the seaside town of Broadstairs, to oddly familiar houses in London backstreets and to meetings with strangers who love her like their own. But with every mystery she solves another one materialises, with every question she answers another appears. And Melody begins to wonder if she'll ever know the truth about her past.






Livro: LEONARDO'S SWANS
Autor: Essex, Karen
Editora: Doubleday  
Idioma: Inglês

Isabelle d'Este, daughter of the Duke of Ferrara, born into privilege and the political and artistic turbulence of Renaissance Italy, is a stunning black-eyed blond and an art lover and collector. Worldly and ambitious, she has never envied her less attractive sister, the spirited but naïve Beatrice, until, by a quirk of fate, Beatrice is betrothed to the future Duke of Milan. Although he is more than twice their age, openly lives with his mistress, and is reputedly trying to eliminate the current duke by nefarious means, Ludovico Sforza is Isabella's match in intellect and passion for all things of beauty. Only he would allow her to fulfill her destiny; to reign over one of the world's most powerful and enlightened realms and be immortalized in oil by the genius Leonardo da Vinci. Isabella vows that she will not rest until she wins her true fate, and the two sisters compete for supremacy in the illustrious courts of Europe. A haunting novel of rivalry, love, and betrayal that transports you back to Renaissance Italy, Leonardo's Swans will have you dashing to the works of the great master - not for clues to a mystery but to contemplate the secrets of the human heart.
