John Henry
In 1870, the C&O (Chesapeake and Ohio Railway) was having problems building the Lewis Tunnel, so they decided to use a steam drill to optimize the work. Unfortunately, the machine threatened to take away the work of countless company employees, so a man, John Henry, proposed a simple and unthinkable challenge: he would compete with the drill to show who worked with greater commitment, the man or the machine. With pleasant language (and a few hints of humor), the inspiring American legend of John Henry takes on new life in this manuscript.

After having a nervous breakdown in the middle of the office, Marcelo, the intern, is forced to talk to the dubious Armando Gholpe, the company's doctor, who recommends that he take a trip to the interior, where he can relax in a beautiful hotel and enjoy the September 7th holiday. Everything seems perfect, until poor Marcelo arrives in the inner city and realizes the big hole he's gotten himself into: the place is too peaceful, the hotel is less than a dump and the people are gossips! The only thing that can relieve the poor intern's pain will be the appearance of Iara, a talented artist from the small town who, with the sweetness of an angel and the song of a siren, will win the boy's heart. However, one question remains: is the girl too much sand for Marcelo's little truck?

Introdução: Este livro é como se uma garota escrevesse várias cartas para alguém, mas quase nunca as entregasse para está pessoa. Ao longo das cartas ela vai demonstrando como se sente em relação ao que está acontecendo.
Ele se lembra de tudo. Da mãe, dos dias com Clara, das coisas que disse e das que deixou passar. Mas lembrar já não parece suficiente. Entre objetos guardados e uma carta inesperada, ele procura algo que ainda seja capaz de fazer diferença.
Corações em busca de harmonia fomentam dentro de si uma perpétua dissonância. Ela faz tinta com a terra seca do quintal; ele dá nome a tudo o que se bebe e jura que água e vinho, juntos, são uma mistura intragável. Anos depois da tarde em que a chuva não veio, a mesma tempestade alcança os dois em lugares diferentes. Talvez seja tarde para voltar. Talvez nunca tenha sido sobre vinho.
