Fahrenheit 451    
Call #: F BRA 9-12 Bradbury, Ray, 1920-
Published 2004

Voyager Classics - timeless masterworks of science fiction and fantasy. A beautiful clothbound edition of the internationally acclaimed Fahrenheit 451 - a masterwork of twentieth-century literature. The terrifyingly prophetic novel of a post-literate future. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic dystopian novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 stands alongside Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which, decades on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.

Mais velho, do meio ou caçula : a ordem do nascimento revela quem você é    
Call #: PORT 155.924 LEM Leman, Kevin.
Published 2011

Os irmãos mais velhos são sempre os mais sérios, certinhos, perfeccionistas. O do meio é o oposto! É competitivo, mas tenta sempre buscar a paz nas situações de conflito. Já os caçulas são bem-humorados, descomplicados e divertidos. Por outro lado, sempre ficam com as sobras dos anteriores e recebem apelidos não muito legais. Os filhos únicos se parecem com os mais velhos, mas são ainda mais precoces (parecem miniaturas de adultos por volta dos sete anos de idade!) e têm nos livros seus melhores amigos. Como é possível que dois, três, quatro, sete indivíduos, filhos do mesmo pai e da mesma mãe, sejam tão diferentes? Para Kevin Leman, há uma explicação: a ordem do seu nascimento. O seu lugar na família determina quem você é. Se você é o primeiro filho, do meio ou último, o cuidado e trato dos seus pais com você foi diferente dos seus irmãos. E se você é filho único, todas as atenções e esforços foram voltados para você, inclusive os erros e acertos. Descubra quais são as características da sua ordem de nascimento e aprenda a usá-las em seu favor.

As barbas do imperador : D. Pedro II, um monarca nos trópicos    
Call #: PORT 92 PED Schwarcz, Lilia Moritz.
Published 2012

Misto de ensaio interpretativo e biografia de d. Pedro II, este livro materializa o mito monárquico ao descrever, por exemplo, a construção dos palácios, a mistura de ritos franceses com costumes brasileiros, a maneira como a boa sociedade praticava a arte de bem civilizar-se, a criação de medalhas, emblemas, dísticos e brasões, a participação do monarca e o uso de sua imagem em festas populares. Com sua murça de penas de tucano, Pedro II de certo modo legitimava a tropicalização dos costumes monárquicos; depois, trocando o manto imperial pelas roupas de cidadão, estará de algum modo anunciando a decadência do Império. Promovendo um diálogo fértil entre sua argumentação e a riquíssima iconografia apresentada, a autora mostra de que maneira a monarquia brasileira tornou-se um mito não apenas vigoroso, mas extremamente singular.
