A young lawyer in the nation's capital sees his life destroyed when a drunk driver kills his wife and cripples his daughter. Nick is racked with grief, a sorrow which turns to rage when he learns that the driver is a corrupt Russian diplomat, who plans to escape under the shield of "diplomatic immunity."

Extraído do volume 3 da "Obra crítica de Araripe Jr.", este ensaio é uma verdadeira capsulado tempo, em particular neste tempos em que o mundo assiste a uma virada nas relações de poder global, com a China despontando. Isso porque Araripe Jr. Comenta aqui a ascensão de uma potência... no final do século XIX: os Estados Unidos! O ponto de vista de um observador próximo dos acontecimentos , no tempo, dá sabor especial à leitura.

"Um livro como o que agora oferece o poeta Alberto de Oliveira (...) não é um vômito de histerismo orgiático; esse livro é um perfume" – eis o tom deste ensaio do crítico Araripe Jr. sobre livro "Versos e rimas", de seu contemporâneo Alberto de Oliveira, marcado pelo erotismo e pela musicalidade de seus versos. E música é justamente o tema do segundo ensaio aqui reunido, onde o autor questiona a importância dada a esse gênero artístico: "A baqueta de um maestro vale hoje mais do que um cetro."

"Os simbolistas compreenderam que sem uma reconciliação com os fatos a poesia tomar-se-ia uma coisa estéril. Pondo o homem entre dois infinitos, não lhes foi impossível distinguir o alcance do raio que mede os dois horizontes da vida, o místico e o real." Eis o tom com que Araripe Jr. escreve este ensaio sobre o movimento simbolista, servindo-se ainda de uma base concreta: o poema "Agonia", de Mário Pederneiras.

De comum, estes dois ensaios têm o mesmo objeto: a arte. Em "Estética e eletricidade", o alvo do autor são os críticos das artes plásticas, cujo conhecimento de ciência acaba por turvar a adequada avaliação das obras. Já em "Flaubert", o autor francês é que está na mira da crítica dura – incomum – à sua obra. Teria de fato autor do célebre "Madame Bovary" desmerecido o prestígio que alcançou?

Parte de um estudo mais amplo sobre a obra de Ibsen, este ensaio editado de Tristão de Alencar de Araripe Júnior é um deleite para os leitores interessados no "trânsito" da Idade Média para o Renascimento. O foco do texto é a "Divina Comédia" de Dante Alighieri, com suas fontes e seus desdobramentos.

Dois ensaios em que Tristão de Alencar de Araripe Júnior explora personagens públicas de seu tempo. Em "O fetiche", a Rainha Vitória está no centro de seus comentários (críticos), ao tempo em que ela celebrava seu jubileu de ouro. "Viagens de Gulliver", por sua vez, nada fala da obra de Johnattan Swift, mas a obra clássica que empresta seu título ao ensaio serve como metáfora para enaltecer a figura do pedagogo Carlos Jansen, que valorizava a literatura infanto-juvenil entre os jovens estudantes brasileiros do final do século XIX.

For decades, the peaceful village of Windridge has harboured dark mysteries, whispers of ancient rituals, and hidden crimes. When human remains from 1965 are discovered at an archaeological dig, Detective Inspector Joseph Stone and DC Megan Taylor are thrust into a haunting investigation that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the community. The enigmatic Charlotte Harris, a reclusive farmer rumoured to be a witch, soon falls into their sights. Her eerie practices and the village’s deep-seated superstitions fuel a growing hysteria that the detectives must navigate carefully.

Many church people and leaders feel like exiles in their own land. We are facing tremendous challenges. And, just as for those who came before us, the challenges are also opportunities. If we adapt to our new environment, as people and as the body of Christ. Gardens in the Desert offers local and denominational church leaders a practical, inspired scripture-rooted vision for how we can do this—how we can become God's church now for God's intended future. Michael Adam Beck and Ken Carter draw from Jeremiah 29 to provide wise guidance for leaders and churches seeking to adapt and thrive.

Bitches Brew is still one of the most astonishing albums ever made in either jazz or rock. Seeming to fuse the two, it actually does something entirely more revolutionary and open-ended: blending the most avant-garde aspects of Western music with deep grooves, the album rejects both jazz and rock for an entirely different idea of how music can be made.

In this audiobook, theologian R. Albert Mohler Jr. delves into the historical significance of the offices of prophet, priest, and king. He traces their origins in the Old Testament to their ultimate fulfillment in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Mohler presents a compelling argument: the three offices should not be compartmentalized. They are interconnected and essential for Christian faithfulness in the home, the church, and society. When Jesus Christ returns, the whole world will bow to him as Lord—Prophet, Priest, and King.

"The Other America: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Call for Economic Justice and Unity" is a powerful exploration of one of Dr. King’s most urgent and socially critical speeches. Delivered at Stanford University in 1967, The Other America goes beyond the struggle for civil rights and exposes the deep economic and racial inequalities that persist in society. In this audiobook, Dr. King’s vision unfolds against the backdrop of a nation divided—one of prosperity and privilege, the other of poverty and neglect.

The girls' secret plan to surprise Asterios with an unforgettable birthday party was a complete success. Their personal presents were already considered very memorable, but he would never forget the day he was officially elected as a new nation's ruler with a unanimous vote from Glimmervale's residents, not to mention being recognized by the monarchs of humans, demons, and elves. The Dragon Valley's struggles only began, and the dungeon that had manifested beneath the country would be the least of its worries.
