Story
"Todos esses nomes ignorados escondem dramas pungentes, cenas de horror, vidas perdidas." Esse trecho extraído da crônica "Os que começam" resume bem a proposta de João do Rio – inclusive trazendo o adjetivo que melhor qualifica a descrição da vida das crianças abandonadas nas ruas do Rio de Janeiro: "pungente". Personagens e suas histórias são pinçados pelo narrador; mudam-se os nomes, fica o substrato.

Story
O leitor há de se envolver nessa narrativa, estimulado pelo narrador que conta a história da atriz Irene de Souza e interage com ela! Inveja e muita fofoca orbitam o sucesso de Irene, que, no entanto, mostra-se fiel ao companheiro Agostinho Azambuja. Demora, mas o narrador cede à crença de que a personagem muito bem construída por João do Rio não tem amantes. Até que um amigo lhe chama a atenção para um detalhe.

"Falavam uma língua imprevista e curiosa, cuspinhando; e olhando as pobres coitadas, não sabia eu bem se falava a mulheres velhas ou a mulheres novas, de tal forma aquelas faces e aqueles corpos estavam arruinados." A crueza da narrativa de João do Rio não poderia retratar melhor a realidade da detenção feminina no Rio de Janeiro da virada do século XIX para o século XX. O narrador presente circula pelo "locus" do enredo, tornando ainda mais vívida ao leitor essa experiência.

Extraída da obra "A alma encantadora das ruas" a crônica "As mariposas do luxo" explora os desejos de mulheres simples, que não têm dinheiro para ostentar luxos, ao observar os produtos expostos nas vitrines da rua do Ouvidor, no Rio de Janeiro. É a crueza obscura da sociedade explorada com brilhantismo por João do Rio: "A rua não lhes apresenta só o amor, o namoro, o desvio... Apresenta-lhes o luxo. E cada montra é a hipnose e cada rayon de modas é o foco em torno do qual reviravolteiam e anseiam as pobres mariposas".

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College―Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.
