Papers in the Wind
by Eduardo SacheriFrom the best-selling author of The Secret in Their Eyes, an adventure about friendship, soccer, and good humor When Alejandro "Mono" dies of cancer, his brother and two closest friends, a tight-knit group since childhood, are left to figure out how to take care of his young daughter, Guadalupe. They want to give her all the love they felt for Mono and secure her future, but there isn't a single peso left in the bank. Mono invested all of his money in a promising soccer player whose talents haven't panned out, and the three hundred thousand dollars Mono spent on his transfer is soon to be lost for good. How do you sell a forward who can't score a goal? How do you negotiate in a world whose rules you don't know? How do you maintain relationships when repeated failures create fissures in lifelong loyalties? Fernando, Mauricio, and Ruso pool the few resources in their arsenal to come up with strategies--from harebrained to inspired--in their desperate attempt to recoup Mono's investment for Guadalupe. Following the lives of four distinct characters, who, despite their great differences, still manage to find solace and pride in one another, Papers in the Wind is a tribute to friendship and proof that love and humor can triumph over sadness.

Para Acabar de Vez com Eddy Bellegueule
by Édouard LouisPrimeiro romance de Edouard Louis, que lhe valeu o imediato aplauso da crítica e a fama internacional. Criado no seio de uma família da classe trabalhadora, na Picardia, interior da França, Eddy não é igual às outras crianças. Os seus modos, a sua maneira de falar e a sua delicadeza valeram-lhe humilhações, ameaças e a incompreensão, tanto por parte dos colegas de escola, como do pai, «um duro», alcoólico e irascível, e da mãe, uma mulher cansada e alheada. Eddy cresce assim, preso na contradição de tanto gostar como odiar a pessoa que é, do fascínio e asco pelos seus desejos mais íntimos, de querer a liberdade de uma outra vida, mas nunca conseguindo colocar verdadeiramente de parte o seu amor pelos pais. Primeiro romance de Edouard Louis, que lhe valeu o imediato aplauso da crítica e a fama internacional, Para Acabar de Vez com Eddy Bellegueule é um livro audacioso, feito de memória pessoal e de ficção, um romance temerário e franco, que procura responder à derradeira pergunta: como pode cada um de nós inventar a sua própria liberdade? Os elogios da crítica: «Um romance de uma força e de uma verdade emocionantes.» — Annie Ernaux «Uma história impressionante acerca da diferença e da adolescência.» — The New York Times «O início de uma fulgurante carreira literária.» — The Washington Post«De uma força emocional devastadora.» — The New Yorker
