A Cabeca do Santo
Socorro Acioli · 2014
<p>Pouco antes de morrer, a mae de Samuel lhe faz um ultimo pedido: que ele va encontrar a avo e o pai que nunca conheceu. Mesmo contrariado, o rapaz cumpre a promessa e faz a pe o caminho de Juazeiro do Norte ate a pequena cidade de Candeia, sofrendo todas as agruras do sol impiedoso do sertao do Ceara. Ao chegar aquela cidade quase fantasma, ele encontra abrigo num lugar curioso: a cabeca oca e gigantesca de uma estatua inacabada de santo Antonio, que jazia separada do resto do corpo. Mas as estranhezas nao param ai: Samuel comeca a escutar uma confusao de vozes femininas apenas quando esta dentro da cabeca. Assustado, se da conta de que aquilo sao as preces que as mulheres fazem ao santo falando de amor.<br/>Seu primeiro contato na cidade sera com Francisco, um rapaz de quem logo fica amigo e que resolve ajuda-lo a explorar comercialmente o seu dom da escuta, promovendo casamentos e outras artimanhas amorosas. Antes parada no tempo, a cidade aos poucos volta a vida, a medida que vai sendo tomada por fieis de todos os cantos, atraidos pelo poder inaudito de Samuel. Em meio a esse tumulto, ele ira descobrir a verdade sobre o desaparecimento do pai e se apaixonar por uma voz misteriosa que se destaca entre as tantas outras que ecoam na cabeca do santo.<br/>Ja consagrada por seus livros infantojuvenis, a escritora Socorro Acioli agora lanca este seu primeiro romance dirigido ao publico adulto, que foi desenvolvido na oficina Como Contar um Conto, promovida por Gabriel Garcia Marquez em Cuba.</p>

Marina
Carlos Ruiz Zafon • 2014
Carlos Ruiz Zafon's haunting gothic mystery, which has long been a cult classic in Spain and is now an international bestseller. "We all have a secret buried under lock and key in the attic of our soul. This is mine." Fifteen-year-old Oscar Drai meets the strange Marina while he's out exploring an old quarter of Barcelona. She leads Oscar to a cemetery, where they watch a macabre ritual that occurs on the last Sunday of each month. At exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, a woman shrouded in a black velvet cloak descends from her carriage to place a single rose on an unmarked grave. When Oscar and Marina decide to follow her, they begin a journey that transports them to a forgotten postwar Barcelona—a world of aristocrats and actresses, inventors and tycoons—and reveals a dark secret that lies waiting in the mysterious labyrinth beneath the city streets.
