A fé e o ser humano


Book Description

A mais fundamental necessidade do homem é a necessidade de religião, a necessidade de reconhecer e venerar Allah, Todo-Poderoso, com todos os seus mais Belos Nomes e Atributos e obedecer a Suas leis; aquelas leis que estão manifestadas no universo e foram reveladas através dos Seus profetas. Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, explicando a mensagem do Alcorão, o último Livro Revelado de Allah Todo-Poderoso, e trazido e perfeitamente exposto pelo Seu último Profeta, Mohammad (Allah o abençoe e lhe dê paz), e o Islam, a completa e aperfeiçoada religião para a humanidade, demonstrou nas Risale-i Nur que não há contradição ou dicotomia entre ciência e religião, mas ao contrário, o verdadeiro progresso e felicidade da humanidade pode ser e será alcançado seguindo somente este caminho, o caminho do Alcorão.

Eve


Book Description

From the author of the twenty-five-million-copy bestseller The Shack comes a captivating new novel destined to be one of the most talked-about books of the decade. Eve is a bold, unprecedented exploration of the Creation narrative, true to the original texts and centuries of scholarship—yet with breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional beliefs about who we are and how we’re made. Eve opens a refreshing conversation about the equality of men and women within the context of our beginnings, helping us see each other as our Creator does—complete, unique, and not constrained by cultural rules or limitations. When a shipping container washes ashore on an island between our world and the next, John the Collector finds a young woman inside—broken, frozen, and barely alive. With the aid of Healers and Scholars, John oversees her recovery and soon discovers that her genetic code connects her to every known race. No one would guess what her survival will mean… No one but Eve, Mother of the Living, who calls her “daughter” and invites her to witness the truth about her own story—indeed, the truth about us all. As The Shack awakened readers to a personal, non-religious understanding of God, Eve will free us from faulty interpretations that have corrupted human relationships since the Garden of Eden. Thoroughly researched and exquisitely written, Eve is a masterpiece that will inspire readers for generations to come.

Amora


Book Description

Sweeping nearly every major Brazilian literary prize in 2016--including the Prêmio Jabuti and Prêmio Açorianos de Literatura--Amora has propelled Natalia Borges Polesso to the forefront of the international literary world.

Mil novecentos e oitenta e quatro


Book Description

Mil novecentos e oitenta e quatro (Nineteen Eighty Four, 1949), também conhecido como 1984, é uma ficção social-científica distópica escrita pelo inglês George Orwell. Sua primeira edição foi publicada em junho de 1949. Foi seu último livro em vida, escrito após a morte de sua esposa, que lhe deixou um filho bebê. Orwell centrou a narrativa em uma crítica inflamada e pessimista sobre o totalitarismo nazista, stalinista mas, também — coisa pouco abordada pela crítica —, ao excepcionalismo estadunidense e ao colonialismo britânico. Muitas de suas previsões acabaram se concretizando após a data de 1984, quando Ronald Reagan e Margareth Thatcher implementaram a cultura da guerra como força econômica e a vigilância civil como controle social. De certa maneira, também previu a massificação do individualismo — que o capitalismo neoliberal prega sob o manto da "liberdade" — e a consequente infantilização da linguagem, o "newspeak" ou a "novilíngua" — o que pode ser acompanhado corriqueiramente após o engajamento global à Internet e às redes sociais. Mais recente ainda é a presença de Mil novecentos e oitenta e quatro no fenômeno atual da polarização política e nas fake news, uma vez que o trabalho diário do protagonista Winston Smith é exatamente criar notícias falsas e distorcer a verdade em benefício da classe dominante, alterando a memória dos cidadão e mantendo a classe trabalhadora na ignorância e na amnésia geracional.
