Sinopse

In Letters from a Seducer, Hilst describes the everyday life of Karl, a wealthy, erudite, and amoral man who seeks an answer to his incomprehension of life through sex. Karl writes and sends twenty provocative letters to Cordelia, his chaste sister. The letters' text becomes intertwined with the life of the poet Stamatius, who finds Karl's letters in the trash, as Hilst constructs an ingenious mirror play between the two that casts strange light on questions of amorality, sexuality and the spirit.Linguistically rich and endlessly playful, Letters from a Seducer is a work of perverse genius by one of Brazil's greatest modern writers.

    IN A LAND OF PROVEN WARRIORS AND BITTER ENEMIES, THE OUTCOME OF ANY BATTLE IS NEVER CERTAIN AND MORE OFTEN…DEADLY. 
    The bloody waters at the lake’s edge told of the destruction of the Kutenai village. Dead bodies were strewn about, smoke curled from burning lodges, and the war cries of screaming Blackfoot warriors followed the war party from the scene of death and destruction. 
    It started as a rivalry between two war leaders of the Piikani Blackfoot. Friends since their youth, they both wanted the same woman and were on a quest for honors and loot. One chose to attack the Salish but met more than expected. The second, known as White Eagle, chose to go after the Kutenai and blood flowed. His easy victory over one village drove him to go for a second village, but he had not known of the wrath and vengeance of a dreaded enemy of the Blackfoot known as Spirit Bear. 
    Together with his battle-hardened friend, Black Buffalo, these two were determined to become the personification of vengeance as they pursued the blood-thirsty and vengeful Blackfoot war party.

    A man who wants everything. A devil who offers it. A bargain that no one can escape unchanged.
    In Goethe's monumental drama, the scholar Faust—exhausted by limits of knowledge and longing for deeper meaning—strikes a fateful pact with Mephistopheles. Promised pleasure, power, and limitless experience, Faust plunges into a world of beauty, temptation, and moral peril. Yet every moment gained carries a shadow, and every desire leads him closer to the edge of damnation.
    
    Praised as "one of the greatest works of world literature," this epic explores ambition, love, sin, redemption, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. Readers are captivated by its poetic force, philosophical depth, and unforgettable characters.
    
    If you crave dramatic storytelling, probing ideas, and a journey that tests the limits of the human spirit, Faust delivers a timeless and transformative experience.
    
    Open the book—and follow Faust into the fire of his own desires.
