Uma Semana Decisiva

capa livro uma semana decisiva-final (003)

Sinopse:

Léo é um homem do tempo atual, com sessenta anos, leva vida saudável, se cuida, está solteiro depois de dois casamentos, porém se divertiu muito na vida. O personagem principal faz um cruzeiro por cinco cidades do Mediterrâneo Oriental, durante uma semana que será importante para ele, para os demais personagens da obra e os da vida real da história recente do Brasil.

Na semana decisiva de 2016, o Brasil passa por um dos momentos mais dramáticos e decisivos da política contemporânea. Nela é decidido o passo mais importante para o impeachment de Dilma Rouseff, em cenário da Lava Jato.

A trama permite mostrar o marxismo cultural, a partir do golpe de 1964, e o nascimento da nova direita, de 2013, a partir de notícias da vida real daquela semana, além de discussões sobre as bandeiras da esquerda: racismo, homofobia e feminismo.

Léo tem problemas naturais de idade e tormento afetivo interior, os quais deverão ser resolvidos por ele para que alcance a mulher com que poderá viver o resto de sua vida, enquanto contempla o turbilhão de acontecimentos na esteira de borbulhas das hélices do navio.

A raridade deste romance está no fato que é escrito com viés de tendência política de centro ou de direita, já que é difícil encontrar escritor de ficção que não seja de esquerda com o consequente direcionamento de seus pensamentos nas obras que escrevem.

Come With Me

Autor: Schulman,Helen
Sinópse: A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the Year, A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, A New York Post Best Book of the WeekRecommended by Vogue, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Skimm, The BBC, Southern Living, Pure Wow, Hey Alma, Esquire, EW, Refinery 29, Bust, and Read It or Weep”Mind-blowingly brilliant…. Provocative, profound and yes, a little unsettling, Come With Me is about how technology breaks apart and then reconfigures a family, and though it has hints of sci-fi, it’s so beautifully grounded in reality that it seems to breathe. Although it takes place over just three days, what’s so fascinating is that so many lives, and many possibilities, are lived through it. Truly, it’s a novel like its own multiverse.” — San Francisco ChronicleFrom Helen Schulman, the acclaimed author of the New York Times bestseller This Beautiful Life, comes another “gripping, potent, and blisteringly well-written story of family, dilemma, and consequence” (Elizabeth Gilbert)–a mind-bending novel set in Silicon Valley that challenges our modern constructs of attachment and love, purpose and fate.”What do you want to know?”Amy Reed works part-time as a PR person for a tech start-up, run by her college roommate’s nineteen-year-old son, in Palo Alto, California. Donny is a baby genius, a junior at Stanford in his spare time. His play for fortune is an algorithm that may allow people access to their “multiverses”–all the planes on which their alternative life choices can be played out simultaneously–to see how the decisions they’ve made have shaped their lives.Donny wants Amy to be his guinea pig. And even as she questions Donny’s theories and motives, Amy finds herself unable to resist the lure of the road(s) not taken. Who would she be if she had made different choices, loved different people? Where would she be now?Amy’s husband, Dan–an unemployed, perhaps unemployable, print journalist–accepts a dare of his own, accompanying a seductive, award-winning photographer named Maryam on a trip to Fukushima, the Japanese city devastated by tsunami and meltdown. Collaborating with Maryam, Dan feels a renewed sense of excitement and possibility he hasn’t felt with his wife in a long time. But when crisis hits at home, the extent of Dan’s betrayal is exposed and, as Amy contemplates alternative lives, the couple must confront whether the distances between them in the here and now are irreconcilable.Taking place over three non-consecutive but vitally important days for Amy, Dan, and their three sons, Come with Me is searing, entertaining, and unexpected–a dark comedy that is ultimately both a deeply romantic love story and a vivid tapestry of modern life.
