 THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER WITH A NEW CHAPTER ON TURNING THIRTY. READ AND LOVED IT? GIFT IT TO A FRIEND! 'There is no writer quite like Dolly Alderton working today and very soon the world will know it' Lisa Taddeo, author Three Women 'The book we will thrust into our friends' hands. Alderton feels like a best friend and your older sister all rolled into one and her pages wrap around you like a warm hug' Evening Standard Award-winning journalist Dolly Alderton survived her twenties (just about) and in Everything I Know About Love, she gives an unflinching account of the bad dates and squalid flat-shares, the heartaches and humiliations, and most importantly, the unbreakable female friendships that helped her to hold it all together. Glittering with wit, heart and humour, this is a book to press into the hands of every woman who has ever been there or is about to find themselves taking that first step towards the rest of their lives. 'Alderton is Nora Ephron for the millennial generation' Elizabeth Day 'Steeped in furiously funny accounts of one-night stands, ill-advised late-night taxi journeys up the M1, grubby flat-shares and the beauty of female friendships, as Alderton joyfully booze-cruises her way through her twenties' Metro 'Deeply funny, sometimes shocking, and admirably open-hearted and optimistic' Daily Telegraph 'A sensitive, astute and funny account of growing up millennial' Observer'I loved its truth, self awareness, humour and most of all, its heart-spilling generosity' Sophie Dahl 'Alderton proves a razor-sharp observer of the shifting dynamics of long term female friendship' Mail on Sunday 'It's so full of life and laughs - I gobbled up this book. Alderton has built something beautiful and true out of many fragments of daftness' Amy Liptrot *Winner of Autobiography of the Year at the National Book Awards 2018**A Waterstones Paperback of the Year 2019**A Sunday Times paperback of the year 2019**Selected for Stylist's The Decade's 15 Best Books by Remarkable Women*

 Um Falcão no Punho é o primeiro de três diários de Maria Gabriela Llansol. Um exercício muito mais complexo do que o género diarístico poderia sugerir. Aqui, a autora convoca para as suas reflexões do dia a dia a constelação única de temas, autores e lugares que a sua prosa foi desenvolvendo ao longo dos anos. Mais do que um confessionalismo esperado, este diário é um objeto de análise único para conhecer a vida e obra da escritora portuguesa. Nas suas palavras: «O Diário é o pano com que se faz a limpeza dos anos... Já que a minha vida é tão isolada, distanciemo-la para a alvura desses diários...»

 Com o Apoio do Canada Council For The Arts O Mistério das Valsas Portuguesas, do escritor e investigador canadiano lusodescendente, Richard Simas, é uma ficção concebida para crianças com idades entre os 7 e 11 anos, e inspirada na música de Art Stoyles, cuja sonoridade peculiar se supõe ter sido resultado da sua convivência com o português Manuel da Silva, músico e capitão de uma frota pesqueira portuguesa ao largo da costa canadiana. Tamara, a personagem principal desta história, é uma menina à procura de confiança para tocar o seu acordeão em público, e que um dia aceita tocar para Art Stoyles, num lar de idosos onde também vivia a sua avó. Será o seu pai a contar-lhe, então, quem foi Art Stoyles, e a história por detrás das valsas portuguesas. A obra, publicada originalmente no Canadá com ilustrações de Caroline Clarke, tendo merecido o lugar de finalista nos Indie Book Awards - Next Gerneration, é agora editada em Portugal pela Poética Edições, com tradução de Luísa Mira Corrêa e ilustrações de José Rodrigues Cardoso. A obra inclui um código QR que dá acesso a uma composição musical de Art Stoyles, interpretada pela acordeonista Inês Vaz em exclusivo para esta edição.

When Breath Becomes Air - The Ultimate Moving Life-And-Death Story

de Paul Kalanithi

11,58€

ESGOTADO OU NÃO DISPONÍVEL

 Be ready. Be seated. See what courage sounds like. See how brave it is to reveal yourself in this way. But above all, see what it is to still live, to profoundly influence the lives of others after you are gone, by your words - Abraham Verghese, foreword to When Breath Becomes Air An intimate and exquisitely written meditation on the meaning of life by a young neurosurgeon facing terminal cancer. Dr. Paul Kalanithi wrote When Breath Becomes Air in the last 22 months of his life. The result is an inspirational account of family, medicine and literature, on publication swiftly finding an audience of booksellers moved by its gradual shift from hope to Kalanithi’s dignified acceptance of life’s end. We strongly recommend the emotional investment to read it. At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, the next he was a patient struggling to live. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a medical student asking what makes a virtuous and meaningful life into a neurosurgeon working in the core of human identity - the brain - and finally into a patient and a new father. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when when life is catastrophically interrupted? What does it mean to have a child as your own life fades away? Paul Kalanithi died while working on this profoundly moving book, yet his words live on as a guide to us all. When Breath Becomes Air is a life-affirming reflection on facing our mortality and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a gifted writer who became both.

Manifesto - A Radically Honest And Inspirational Memoir From The Booker Prize Winning Author Of Girl, Woman, Other

de Bernardine Evaristo

14,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

 'This honest, engaging memoir shares such gems . . .the perfect read for anyone who dreams big' The Times and Sunday Times Books of the Year The powerful, urgent memoir and manifesto on never giving up from Booker prize-winning trailblazer, Bernardine Evaristo In 2019, Bernardine Evaristo became the first black woman to win the Booker Prize since its inception fifty years earlier - a revolutionary landmark for Britain. Her journey was a long one, but she made it, and she made history. Manifesto is her intimate and fearless account of how she did it. From a childhood steeped in racism from neighbours, priests and even some white members of her own family, to discovering the arts through her local youth theatre; from stuffing her belongings into bin bags, always on the move between temporary homes, to exploring many romantic partners both toxic and loving, male and female, and eventually finding her soulmate; from setting up Britain's first theatre company for Black women in the eighties to growing into the trailblazing writer, theatre-maker, teacher, mentor and activist we see today - Bernardine charts her rebellion against the mainstream and her life-long commitment to community and creativity. And, through the prism of her extraordinary experiences, she offers vital insights into the nature of race, class, feminism, sexuality and ageing in modern Britain. Bernardine Evaristo's life story is a manifesto for courage, integrity, optimism, resourcefulness and tenacity. It's a manifesto for anyone who has ever stood on the margins, and anyone who wants to make their mark on history. It's a manifesto for being unstoppable. 'Raw and emotive . . . a powerful account of how Evaristo got to the top of her game - it's moving, but there's also much humour and joy' Independent 'Bernardine Evaristo is one of those writers who should be read by everyone, everywhere' Elif Shafak 'Bernardine Evaristo is one of Britain's best writers, an iconic and unique voice, filled with warmth, subtlety and humanity. Exceptional' Nikesh Shukla

Mindhunter - Inside the FBI Elite Serial Crime Unit (Now A Netflix Series)

de John Douglas e Mark Olshaker

14,76€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

 The bestselling true story and inspiration behind the hit Netflix show of how one underfunded FBI team became the first to explore the dark world of serial murderers. John Douglas is a former FBI Special Agent and expert in criminal profiling and behavioural science. He made a career of looking evil in the eye - and understanding it. No wonder that he was the inspiration for Special Agent Jack Crawford in The Silence of the Lambs, as well as the film's consultant on the reality of serial killers. Douglas invented and established the practice of criminal profiling, and submerged himself in the world of serial killers in a quest to understand why they killed, and to help prevent more innocent lives from being ended by future killers. As his serial crime unit developed from a derided two-bit operation in a dingy officer to one of the FBI's elite task forces, Douglas personally confronted the most terrible crimes of the age, including those of Jeffrey Dahmer, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy and the Atlanta child murderer. With the fierce page-turning power of a bestselling novel, yet terrifyingly true, Mindhunter is a true crime classic. 'John Douglas knows more about serial killers than anybody in the world' - Jonathan Demme, director of The Silence of the Lambs 'A cracker of a book' - Esquire

I Want To Die But I Want To Eat Tteokbokki - The Cult Hit That Everyone Is Talking About

de Baek Sehee

16,73€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

 The phenomenal Korean bestseller PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you? ME: I don't know, I'm - what's the word - depressed? Do I have to go into detail? Baek Se-Hee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her - what to call it? - depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a yen for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like? Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness. 'I Want to Die... has been a huge bestseller in Korea and will strike a chord with anyone who feels that their public life is at odds with how they really feel inside. Baek Sehee transcribes the sessions with her psychiatrist as she uncovers the root causes of her anxiety and harmful behaviours, despite the perfect picture she presents to the world.' * Red *
