O Massacre da Família Hope
RILEY SAGER · 2024
O Colecionador
JOHN FOWLES · 2018
O Colecionador é a história de Frederick Clegg, um homem solitário, de origem humilde, menosprezado por uma sociedade esnobe, que encontra o grande amor de sua vida. Tudo o que ele deseja é passar um tempo a sós com ela, demonstrar seus nobres sentimentos e deixar claro que eles nasceram um para o outro.<br/><br/>O Colecionador também é a história de Miranda Gray, uma jovem estudante de artes sequestrada por um maníaco que acha que pode obrigá-la a se apaixonar por ele. Tudo o que ela deseja é escapar do cativeiro, e vai usar de toda sua inteligência para sobreviver ao inferno em que sua vida se transformou.<br/><br/>O romance é narrado por dois personagens antagônicos: o sequestrador e sua vítima. Frederick e Miranda. Todos temos um pouco dos dois dentro de nós, concluímos ao final de suas páginas — quem consegue se desgrudar delas?<br/><br/>Essa obra-prima lançada em 1963 continua perigosamente atual. Best-seller internacional, e ainda um sucesso de venda nos sebos após décadas fora de catálogo no Brasil, o grande romance de estreia de John Fowles está de volta com uma edição digna de colecionador, e aquele padrão de qualidade psicopata que só a DarkSide Books tem. Com direito a capa dura, introdução do mestre Stephen King — inédita no Brasil — e mais conteúdos exclusivos.<br/><br/>O feminismo, a solidão, a luta de classes, a liberdade, o que pode ou não ser considerado arte e o que pode ou não ser considerado amor... estes são apenas alguns dos temas que o autor traz à tona. Numa época sem textão de redes sociais, era com literatura de qualidade que pensadores dissecavam o mundo à sua volta.<br/><br/>Com O Colecionador, a DarkSide abre a janela para que Miranda consiga sair do cativeiro e que sua história volte a encantar novas gerações de leitores.
Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury · 2013
"Sixty years after the original publication, Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel 'Fahrenheit 451' stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. This sixtieth-anniversary edition commemorates Ray Bradbury's masterpiece with a new introduction by Neil Gaiman ; personal essays on the genesis of the novel by the author ; a wealth of critical essays and reviews by Nelson Algren, Harold Bloom, Margaret Atwood, and others ; rare manuscript pages and sketches from Ray Bradbury's personal archive ; and much more. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature."--taken from back cover.
O Ministério da Verdade
Dorian Lynskey · 2021
Dracula
Bram Stoker · 2021
During a business visit to Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania, a young English solicitor finds himself at the center of a series of horrifying incidents. Jonathan Harker is attacked by three phantom women, observes the Count's transformation from human to bat form, and discovers puncture wounds on his own neck that seem to have been made by teeth. Harker returns home upon his escape from Dracula's grim fortress, but a friend's strange malady — involving sleepwalking, inexplicable blood loss, and mysterious throat wounds — initiates a frantic vampire hunt. The popularity of Bram Stoker's 1897 horror romance is as deathless as any vampire. Its supernatural appeal has spawned a host of film and stage adaptations, and more than a century after its initial publication, it continues to hold readers spellbound.

Maus
Spiegelman Art · 2003
On the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of its first publication, here is the definitive edition of the book acclaimed as “the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust” (Wall Street Journal) and “the first masterpiece in comic book history” (The New Yorker).<br/><br/>The Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler’s Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father’s story. Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in “drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust” (The New York Times).<br/><br/>Maus is a haunting tale within a tale. Vladek’s harrowing story of survival is woven into the author’s account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. Against the backdrop of guilt brought by survival, they stage a normal life of small arguments and unhappy visits. This astonishing retelling of our century’s grisliest news is a story of survival, not only of Vladek but of the children who survive even the survivors. Maus studies the bloody pawprints of history and tracks its meaning for all of us.

1984
George Orwell · 1961
<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
