About this listen
Macunaíma, o herói sem nenhum caráter é um canto vazado na língua portuguesa falada em nosso país. A saga de Macunaíma - Imperador do Mato - começa quando ele perde sua muiraquitã, um amuleto de pedra que havia ganhado de Ci, a Mãe do Mato. Acompanhado de seus irmãos Maanape e Jiguê, o herói viaja para o Sul em busca do amuleto, que estava em poder do fazendeiro peruano Venceslau Pietro Pietra. Encantado com a "civilização moderna", Macunaíma, de certa forma, se vê dividido entre seu reino e as maravilhas de "São Paulo, a maior cidade do universo".
Verdadeiro marco do modernismo brasileiro e uma das narrativas mais singulares de nossa literatura, Macunaíma, foi publicado originalmente em 1928. O autor potencializa o uso literário da linguagem oral e popular e mistura folclore, lendas, mitos e manifestações religiosas de vários recantos do Brasil.

Story
O clássico "Os Lusíadas", de Camões, trata da viagem de Vasco da Gama à Índia, em 1498. A obra apresenta um misto de narrativa histórica e de lenda, visitando os clássicos gregos (gigantes, ninfas e deuses do Olimpo que brigam entre si) e explicitando a crença católica do autor. Este também não deixa de imprimir em sua obra a amargura e o desgosto de quem apanhou - e muito - da vida.

O Livro do Desassossego, assinado por um dos heterônimos de Fernando Pessoa, Bernardo Soares, é considerado um dos trabalhos mais importantes do autor, e tido por ele mesmo como uma "autobiografia sem fatos". Composto de fragmentos organizados em uma narrativa não propriamente linear, o texto publicado em 1913 reflete sobre as relações humanas de forma filosófica e inovadora, mantendo-se atual até os dias de hoje.

For many Americans, Brazil is a land of contradictions: vast natural resources and entrenched corruption; extraordinary wealth and grinding poverty; beautiful beaches and violence-torn favelas. Brazil occupies a vivid place in the American imagination, and yet it remains largely unknown. In an extraordinary journey that spans 500 years, from European colonization to the 2016 Summer Olympics, Lilia M. Schwarcz and Heloisa M. Starling's Brazil offers a rich, dramatic history of this complex country.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
