No man had ever dared to force his attentions on stunning, fiery Samantha Kingsley - until Hank Chavez, the rough-hewn, insolvent outlaw, aroused the spirited hellion's wrath...and her passion.

For there's only one thing Chavez wants more than the Kingley's sprawling Mexican homestead; to ignite in Samantha's breast...and to take the tempestuous beauty in bold, rapturous conquest.

Livro: PROPERTY - A NOVEL
Autor: Valerie Martin
Idioma: Inglês

Valerie Martin's Property delivers an eerily mesmerizing inquiry into slavery's venomous effects on the owner and the owned. The year is 1828, the setting a Louisiana sugar plantation where Manon Gaudet, pretty, bitterly intelligent, and monstrously self-absorbed, seethes under the dominion of her boorish husband. In particular his relationship with her slave Sarah, who is both his victim and his mistress.
Exploring the permutations of Manon's own obsession with Sarah against the backdrop of an impending slave rebellion, Property unfolds with the speed and menace of heat lightning, casting a startling light from the past upon the assumptions we still make about the powerful and powerless.

Livro: WOLF HALL
Autor:Hilary Mantel
Idioma: Inglês

England in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years, and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. The quest for the king's freedom destroys his adviser, the brilliant Cardinal Wolsey, and leaves a power vacuum. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell. Cromwell is a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, astute in reading people and a demon of energy; he is also a consummate politician, hardened by his personal losses, implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile; one day tender, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition, but what will be the price of his triumph? In inimitable style, Hilary Mantel presents a picture of a half-made society on the cusp of change, where individuals fight or embrace their fate with passion and courage. With a vast array of characters, overflowing with incident, the novel re-creates an era when the personal and political are separated by a hairbreadth, where success brings unlimited power but a single failure means death.

Livro: GREAT IMPROVISATION - FRANKLIN, FRANCE, AND THE BIRTH OF AMERICA
Autor:Stacy Schieff
Idioma: Inglês

'In December of 1776 a small boat delivered an old man to France '. So begins an enthralling narrative account of how Benjamin Franklin-seventy years old, without any diplomatic training, and possessed of the most rudimentary French-convinced France , an absolute monarchy, to underwrite America 's experiment in democracy. When Franklin stepped onto French soil, he well understood he was embarking on the greatest gamble of his career. By virtue of fame, charisma, and ingenuity, Franklin outmaneuvered British spies, French informers, and hostile colleagues; engineered the Franco-American alliance of l778; and helped to negotiate the peace of l783. The eight-year French mission stands not only as Franklin 's most vital service to his country but as the most revealing of the man. In 'A Great Improvisation', Stacy Schiff draws from new and little-known sources to illuminate the least-explored part of Franklin 's life. Here is an unfamiliar, unforgettable chapter of the Revolution, a rousing tale of American infighting, and the treacherous backroom dealings at Versailles that would propel George Washington from near decimation at Valley Forge to victory at Yorktown .

Livro: ADEUS, COLUMBUS
Autor:Philip Roth
Editora: Companhia de Bolso
Assunto: Literatura estrangeira
Idioma: Português

'Adeus, Columbus' é o livro de estréia de Philip Roth. Foi com essa coletânea de ficções curtas que o escritor norte-americano surgiu no cenário literário, já como um autor em pleno domínio de seus recursos. A novela-título é ainda hoje considerada uma de suas narrativas mais bem realizadas, e ao menos dois dos contos são obras-primas irretocáveis - 'A conversão dos judeus' e 'Eli, o fanático'. Se em alguns dos textos o autor recria com humor cáustico, na melhor tradição realista, a estreiteza de horizontes da classe média baixa, em outros sua prosa mágica transforma um prosaico bairro pequeno-burguês da Nova Jersey de meados do século passado num mundo tão onírico quanto um quadro de Marc Chagall.
