A Transformação

Nora Roberts . 2022

Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market.

A revolução dos bichos

George Orwell • 2007

<b>Verdadeiro clássico moderno, concebido por um dos mais influentes escritores do século XX, <i>A revolução dos bichos</i> é uma fábula sobre o poder. Narra a insurreição dos animais de uma granja contra seus donos. Progressivamente, porém, a revolução degenera numa tirania ainda mais opressiva que a dos humanos. <br> </b> <br>Escrita em plena Segunda Guerra Mundial e publicada em 1945 depois de ter sido rejeitada por várias editoras, essa pequena narrativa causou desconforto ao satirizar ferozmente a ditadura stalinista numa época em que os soviéticos ainda eram aliados do Ocidente na luta contra o eixo nazifascista. <br>De fato, são claras as referências: o despótico Napoleão seria Stálin, o banido Bola-de-Neve seria Trotsky, e os eventos políticos - expurgos, instituição de um estado policial, deturpação tendenciosa da História - mimetizam os que estavam em curso na União Soviética. <br>Com o acirramento da Guerra Fria, as mesmas razões que causaram constrangimento na época de sua publicação levaram <i>A revolução dos bichos</i> a ser amplamente usada pelo Ocidente nas décadas seguintes como arma ideológica contra o comunismo. O próprio Orwell, adepto do socialismo e inimigo de qualquer forma de manipulação política, sentiu-se incomodado com a utilização de sua fábula como panfleto. <br>Depois das profundas transformações políticas que mudaram a fisionomia do planeta nas últimas décadas, a pequena obra-prima de Orwell pode ser vista sem o viés ideológico reducionista. Mais de sessenta anos depois de escrita, ela mantém o viço e o brilho de uma alegoria perene sobre as fraquezas humanas que levam à corrosão dos grandes projetos de revolução política. É irônico que o escritor, para fazer esse retrato cruel da humanidade, tenha recorrido aos animais como personagens. De certo modo, a inteligência política que humaniza seus bichos é a mesma que animaliza os homens. <br>Escrito com perfeito domínio da narrativa, atenção às minúcias e extraordinária capacidade de criação de personagens e situações, <i>A revolução dos bichos</i> combina de maneira feliz duas ricas tradições literárias: a das fábulas morais, que remontam a Esopo, e a da sátira política, que teve talvez em Jonathan Swift seu representante máximo. <br>"A melhor sátira já escrita sobre a face negra da história moderna." - Malcolm Bradbury <br>"Um livro para todos os tipos de leitor, seu brilho ainda intacto depois de sessenta anos." - Ruth Rendell
