Contos de Fadas Turcos

Contos de Fadas Turcos

Translated title: Turkish Fairy Tales

Author: Various Authors

Genre: Short Stories / Fantasy

Year: 2026 | Pages: 176 | Origin: POR | BA Seq Num: 93008

In Turkish Fairy Tales (or Masallari ) we will find vibrant stories that combine shamanic myths, Islamic folklore, and multicultural influences - it is therefore not surprising that there are tales of beautiful maidens, wicked witches, unlikely heroes, or envious villains.

However, we will undergo trials to reach the enchanted kingdoms of the Turks, where we will be helped by orange birds, burn pieces of wings, fly on a shield or a carpet, and descend to the seventh circle of Hell to save the most beautiful of maidens. Along the way, we will be enchanted by the melodious songs of the birds, and in the gardens where the trees shine, the most wonderful aromas will intoxicate our senses.

Characterized by their extravagant opening formulas, the presence of supernatural archetypes such as the pari or the efrits, as well as an implicit content that elegantly balances moral lessons with sometimes dark consequences, Turkish Fairy Tales will certainly take the reader on a journey through the deepest ethical, social and philosophical lessons of Turkish culture

I want a partner to practice with...

He shows me that reality is much better than fiction...

In my bookstore in Queen's Cove, I'm surrounded by handsome, sensitive, and charming men... who are fictional. At almost thirty, I'm extremely shy, I've never been in love, and my bookstore isn't making a profit. Something needs to change, and I know exactly who will help me...

Wyatt Rhodes is self-assured and has undeniable natural charm. His only focus is surfing, but his non-existent social media presence is preventing him from turning professional. When I offer to help him in exchange for seduction lessons, the deal is too good for him to refuse.

What begins as a simple agreement quickly transforms into a friendship full of complicity and mutual admiration, with magical moments at sea and a connection that continues to grow. Between disastrous surf lessons, a karaoke bar, a romance-only bookstore, and a sparkly dress that makes me feel beautiful, spending time with Wyatt is nothing like I expected. He can't be the perfect man for me... right?

Contos Completos 1

Translated title: Complete Stories 1

Author: Cortazar, Julio

Genre: Short Stories

Year: 2025 | Pages: 800 | Origin: POR | BA Seq Num: 90003

Over the course of nearly four decades, Julio Cortázar left us twelve famous volumes of short stories, in addition to the various scattered and unpublished volumes discovered at the beginning of this century, collected in Unexpected Papers. Celebrated by generations of readers and considered masterpieces of the genre, they collectively exceed a thousand pages.

In these texts, Cortázar challenges the frontiers of literary creation, with a style as mind-boggling as jazz improvisation and as surprising as a boxing match. From the opening stories of The Other Shore, to the unmistakable universe, brimming with freedom and boldness, of Bestiary and All the Fires, the Fire, to the fanciful invention of cronopios and famas, the Cortázar revolution in 20th-century literature breaks out

Five thousand workers. Hundreds of factories, workshops, and quarries. Twelve days of protest. The regime's only option was violence.
