Entre buzinas, engarrafamentos e calor de 40 graus, o motorista Fábio Lino transforma o caos em crônica. Em cada curva do ônibus, ele encontra um retrato do Rio: o humor que resiste, a fé improvisada

Entre buzinas, gargalhadas e filosofias de bar, Edi Ferreira transforma cada corrida num espetáculo urbano.

Com humor afiado e olhar carinhoso sobre o cotidiano, estas cronicas mostram o Brasil que cabe no banco de tras: engraçado, confuso, poetico e, acima de tudo, humano. Prepare-se para rir, se emocionar e, quem sabe, pedir troco em sabedoria. Porque, no fim das contas, como diz o proprio Edi: "A vida e uma corrida e o riso, o melhor caminho."

This anthology of personal essays explore how video games have shaped our lives, our cultural imagination and contemporary storytelling. From novelists and critics to game designers themselves, the writers in this collection ask the question, Can video games truly be art? From triple-A, big budget blockbusters like Grand Theft Auto or Assassins Creed, to quiet, meditative Indie games like Journey or Stardew Valley, video games, like all artforms, offer us insight into ourselves and the world around us. They help shape our identities, introduce us to other ways of thinking, new languages, alternate worlds. They can offer us escape. They can also offer us control. We reach back into the past to try and recapture the feeling of that first playthrough, the feeling of expanse, the feeling of control. Addiction is also touched on in these essays. Video games can become a replacement for a much more dangerous addiction, and the writers tell us candidly how video games helped; wasted hours in virtual worlds, completing tasks that had no bearing on a real world they couldnt quite deal with. These collected essays explore the good and the bad sides of gaming; how video games are used as a cypher, as a new way of looking at the world, and indeed the impact they have had on the lives of the writers themselves. Featuring contributions from acclaimed and emerging writers, both Irish and international - including Rob Doyle, John Patrick McHugh, Una-Minh Kavanagh, Brenda Romero, Sheila Armstrong, Roisin Kiberd, and more - this anthology is an exploration of one of the most influential cultural forms of our time.

FRANÇAIS 1954 nest pas quune date dans les manuels dhistoire ; cest le point de bascule dun monde qui vacille. Entre le fracas des empires a Dien Bien Phu et lembrasement des Aures, cette piece de theatre dintervention explore les failles dune annee charniere. Du "tabou des tabous" de la violence systemique aux silences etouffants de lEurope de lEst, des confessions censurees de Simone de Beauvoir a linvention fortuite du Carambar, loeuvre deconstruit les mythes de la modernite. Sur scene, les fantomes du Tonkin croisent les icones de Saint-Germain-des-Pres pour confronter le spectateur a une realite brute : la memoire nest pas un sanctuaire fige, mais un combat permanent contre loubli. Un voyage polyphonique ou le sang des colonies se mele au sucre de la consommation naissante, pour que 2026 puisse enfin regarder 1954 en face.ENGLISH 1954 is more than just a date in history books; it is the tipping point of a reeling world. Between the crashing of empires at Dien Bien Phu and the ignition of the Algerian Aures, this interventionist play explores the fractures of a pivotal year. From the "taboo of taboos" regarding systemic violence to the stifling silences of the Iron Curtain, and from the censored confessions of Simone de Beauvoir to the accidental invention of the Carambar, this work deconstructs the myths of modernity. On stage, the ghosts of Tonkin cross paths with the icons of Saint-Germain-des-Pres to confront the audience with a raw reality: memory is not a frozen sanctuary, but a constant struggle against oblivion. A polyphonic journey where the blood of colonies mingles with the sugar of emerging consumerism, allowing 2026 to finally look 1954 in the eye.

More than a Science Fiction novel, a mirror of humanitys deepest fractures.For centuries, ambition, nationalism, racism, and religious dogma have torn humanity apart. Wars were born from greed and envy, cultures collapsed, generations were sacrificed, and the greatest victim has always been the same: our planet Earth.Yet humanity continues to look to the stars.Across technological wonders and ancient mysteries unfolds an epic panorama of progress and responsibility, hope and looming downfall. Generation ships travel toward distant worlds, new star systems promise a fresh beginning, but humanities unresolved conflicts travel with them.When an unexpected threat emerges from the depths of space, the fragility of human existence becomes painfully clear. Borders, ideologies, and power struggles suddenly lose their meaning.Must danger come from the outside for humanity to finally understand that survival is only possible together?The protagonists face not only the perils of the cosmos, but the darker forces within their own species: arrogance, greed, and the fatal belief that technological power can replace moral maturity.In a universe where past, present, and future collide, Nexus Pluto confronts a burning question:Is our urge to conquer the unknown a sign of greatness, or proof that we are running from ourselves?With breathtaking worlds, philosophical depth, and a touch of mysticism, this novel tells a story of courage, responsibility, cultural memory, and the hope that humanity can learn from its own history.Because unless we understand that we have only one Earth,no star system will ever save us.

Die Rechten in Deutschland haben langst verstanden, wie Politik heute funktioniert: nicht uber sachliche Inhalte, sondern Emotionen. Mit Provokation, Korperlichkeit und dem Mut, die Regeln des Anstands auch mal zu brechen. Wahrend die AfD so die Schlagzeilen dominiert, duckt sich Mitte-Links weg und diskutiert noch immer uber vermeintlich bessere Argumente. Das Problem: Im Kampf um Aufmerksamkeit kommt es auf Vernunft langst nicht mehr an.Spiegel-Nr.1-Bestseller-Autor Marc Raschke prasentiert einen Ausweg: Progressiver Populismus mit Emotionen statt Excel-Tabellen, Korper statt Kompromisse, Pogo statt Podiumsdiskussionen. Denn Demokratie ist wie ein Moshpit: leidenschaftlich, chaotisch, manchmal schmerzhaft, aber voller Solidaritat.Von Black Lives Matter und Letzte Generation uber Gavin Newsoms Trump-Parodie in Kalifornien und Zoran Mamdanis Straen-Pogo in New York bis zu den kunstlerischen Provokationen von Christoph Schlingensief und dem Zentrum fur politische Schonheit: Dieses Buch zeigt, wer die Medien beherrscht, beherrscht die Realitat. Kreativ, provokativ, innovativ. Es ist hochste Zeit, diese Moglichkeit zu nutzen und die Buhne zu sturmen. Zeit, mehr Pogo zu wagen!

Was darf man durfen? fragt, warum christlicher Glaube so oft mit Regeln, Verboten und Unsicherheit verbunden wird. Dominik Wagner geht der Frage nach, was die Gute Nachricht eigentlich gut macht und wie sich ethische Fragen vom Evangelium her beurteilen lassen. Dabei ruckt nicht der einzelne Buchstabe, sondern das Ziel hinter den Geboten in den Mittelpunkt - denn Gebote ohne Werte sind wertlos. So ladt das Buch zu einem Glauben ein, der nicht von Angst und bloem Mussen gepragt ist, sondern zu Freiheit, Verantwortung und selbststandigem Denken befahigt. Welche Folgen das konkret hat, zeigt sich exemplarisch an der Frage nach queeren Menschen und ihrer Liebe. Ein Buch fur alle, die ihren Glauben ehrlich, mundig und vom Evangelium her leben wollen.

THE WARNING!In the early days of the world lived the patriarch Noah, a good and venerable man whose years already numbered six hundred.Now Noah was warned that a great flood was to come, which would pour down from the clouds and drown the whole earth. He straightway told his neighbors what was to happen, but they refused to believe, and scoffed at him, and said: "Let it rain."BUILDING THE ARK:Then Noah went his way, and set to work to build him a great ship, to be ready for the day of deluge.And he laid the keel in the pasture fields, among the daisies; while the idlers came to look on and laugh at such follya ship for a rainy day!

"The Spanish Tragedy", or "Hieronimo" is Mad Again is an Elizabethan tragedy written by Thomas Kyd between 1582 and 1592. Highly popular and influential in its time, The Spanish Tragedy established a new genre in English theatre, the revenge play or revenge tragedy. Its plot contains several violent murders and includes as one of its characters a personification of Revenge."The Spanish Tragedy" was often referred to (or parodied) in works written by other Elizabethan playwrights, including William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and Christopher Marlowe.Many elements of The Spanish Tragedy, such as the play-within-a-play used to trap a murderer and a ghost intent on vengeance, appear in Shakespeares Hamlet.(Thomas Kyd is frequently proposed as the author of the hypothetical Ur-Hamlet that may have been one of Shakespeares primary sources for Hamlet.)
