coisas que eu queria ter ouvido na sua idade

Em 'A Hora da Estrela', Clarice Lispector narra a história de Macabéa, uma jovem nordestina pobre e alienada que vive no Rio de Janeiro. A narrativa explora a vida de Macabéa, marcada pela solidão, pela falta de perspectivas e pela busca por identidade. Através da personagem, Clarice aborda temas como a marginalização, a incomunicabilidade e a condição humana. O livro apresenta uma reflexão sobre a existência e a dificuldade de encontrar sentido em um mundo caótico. A linguagem experimental e a introspecção psicológica são características marcantes da obra.

In this book, Gavin de Becker argues that every individual should learn to trust their gut instinct when it comes to situations of danger or potential violence. He highlights the predictability of violence by identifying pre-incident indicators (PINS) such as forced teaming, charm and niceness, too many details, typecasting, loan sharking, and the unsolicited promise. De Becker also discusses his MOSAIC Threat Assessment Systems and provides practical advice on how to spot danger signals, handle threatening situations, and manage fear effectively. The book is particularly valuable for women and others who may be at higher risk of violence, offering strategies to enhance situational awareness and personal safety.

In 'Girlhood', Melissa Febos examines the narratives women are told about what it means to be female and how to free oneself from them. The book is a philosophical treatise and an anthem for women, exploring the transitions from girlhood toward a chosen self. It delves into themes of identity, culture, and personal transformation, blending personal experiences with broader societal analysis.
