Story
De um sentimentalismo tocante, o conto "Cantiga velha" traz uma defesa contundente das antigas cantigas populares, em contraponto aos modismos da época em que o texto foi ecrito – a polca, por exemplo. Como enredo, Machado de Assis faz um recorte na vida de um grupo de amigos, no momento em que conversam sobre o tema, e um deles lembra uma quadrinha romântica.

Nele, o autor propõe como enredo um diálogo entre santos, que discutem a crença nos homens – numa clara inversão de papéis, já que não são os homens a debater a crença nos santos. Religião, transcendência e psicanálise são temas para reflexão a partir de sua leitura.

Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

An incredible adventure is about to begin!

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.
