A vida invisível da sra. Orwell - Anna Funder. (Companhia das Letras/Divulgação)
In "Wifedom: Mrs. Orwell's Invisible Life", Anna Funder revisits George Orwell's story through the often erased figure of Eileen O'Shaughnessy, his first wife. Mixing historical research, letters, diaries, and fictionalized passages, the author builds a sensitive essay about the behind-the-scenes of literary creation and the invisible work of women. The work also proposes a contemporary reflection on marriage, authorship, and gender inequality, revealing how many historical narratives were built upon omissions.
Vertigem - Lela Brandão. (Editora Sextante/Divulgação)
Creator of the podcast "Gostosas também choram", Lela Brandão debuts in literature with an intimate and reflective book about exhaustion, anxiety, and reconnection with oneself. In "Vertigo", the author draws on personal experiences to discuss the pressures of contemporary life, especially on women, who live between the pursuit of constant productivity and emotional burnout. The result is an honest read, marked by deep questions about rest, silence, and presence.
Terra à deriva: Contos - Cixin Liu. (Suma/Divulgação)
Known for the "The Three-Body Problem" trilogy, Cixin Liu returns with a collection of grand and philosophical science fiction stories. In "The Wandering Earth", the author imagines extreme futures in which humanity must deal with cosmic catastrophes, colossal technological advances, and existential dilemmas. The stories mix scientific rigor and human emotion, exploring themes such as survival, ambition, and fragility in the face of the immensity of the universe.
Menino negro - Richard Wright. (Companhia das Letras/Divulgação)
A classic of North American autobiographical literature, "Black Boy" gets a new edition revisiting Richard Wright's childhood and youth in the segregated southern United States. The author narrates the hunger, racial violence, and social exclusion that marked his trajectory, while at the same time discovering in reading and writing a possibility of freedom. The work remains current by highlighting structures of inequality and racism that still echo in different societies.
Fim de partida - Samuel Beckett. (Companhia das Letras/Divulgação)
One of Samuel Beckett's most important plays, "Endgame" returns to bookstores reaffirming its relevance to modern dramaturgy. Set in a suffocating, almost apocalyptic scenario, the work follows characters trapped in relationships marked by dependence, repetition, and existential emptiness. With acidic humor and absurd dialogues, Beckett builds a reflection on the end, loneliness, and the human condition in the post-war period.
Os que amam, odeiam - Silvina Ocampo e Adolfo Bioy Casares. (Companhia das Letras/Divulgação)
Written by Silvina Ocampo and Adolfo Bioy Casares, "Where There's Love, There's Hate" mixes police suspense, irony, and psychological tension.

A cidade e suas muralhas incertas - Haruki Murakami. (Alfaguara/Divulgação)
In "The city and its uncertain walls" by Haruki Murakami, reality and fantasy blend in a melancholic narrative about love, memory, and loss. The protagonist embarks on a search for a mysterious city described by his former girlfriend, who disappeared years earlier. Among silent libraries, unicorns, and parallel worlds, Murakami builds a contemplative and symbolic story, marked by the dreamlike style that made the Japanese author known worldwide.
Todas as mentiras - S. T. Abby. (Paralela/Divulgação)

With a fast pace and constant tension, the thriller explores the boundaries between justice, obsession, and revenge.
Ala D - Freida McFadden. (Editora Record/Divulgação)
Freida McFadden, an author known for psychological suspense hits, presents in "Ward D" a claustrophobic narrative set in a psychiatric unit. Medical student Amy Brenner must face a night shift surrounded by personal traumas, dangerous patients, and inexplicable events. As people disappear and isolation increases, the book creates an atmosphere of paranoia and fear that grips the reader until the final pages.
Formas de narrar um corpo - Rita von Hunty. (Editora Planeta/Divulgação)
Between theory, autobiography, and cultural criticism, Rita von Hunty discusses in "Ways of narrating a body" how certain bodies are represented, silenced, or socially authorized. The author addresses issues of gender, sexuality, and power in an accessible and provocative way, articulating references from sociology, psychoanalysis, and literature. The book proposes a reflection on identity and on who occupies the spaces of speech and knowledge in contemporary society.
