"Hasta Martes es la historia de como dos soldados heridos que lo habian dado tanto y sufrido las consecuencias, se encuentran y se salvan mutuamente. Es una historia sobre la guerra y la paz, la lesion y la recuperacion, las heridas psicologicas y la sanacion espiritual. Pero mas que eso, Hasta Martes es una historia de amor entre un hombre y un perro y como se sanaron las almas el uno al otro."--Amazon.

When librarian Vicki Myron finds a young kitten abandoned in the Spencer Library return box, she nurses him back to health, deciding then and there that he will be their library cat, and naming him, appropriately, Dewey Readmore Books.

Uma história ainda pouco divulgada é resgatada por Robert M. Edsel em Caçadores de obras-primas. Trata-se do trabalho realizado pelos Monuments Man, soldados que tentaram dificultar ou impedir o “maior roubo da história” cometido por Hitler durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Estima-se que o Führer e seus homens tenham se apossado de mais de 5 milhões de objetos culturais. O objetivo era criar o maior acervo de obras-primas do mundo em terras alemãs. De início, o trabalho dos Monuments Man era mitigar os danos cometidos a acervos públicos. Com o avanço das tropas de Hitler, o foco voltou-se para a localização de obras de arte móveis e outros itens culturais roubados ou perdidos. O trabalho, iniciado na metade da guerra, em 1943, estendeu-se até 1951. As histórias relatadas no livro baseiam-se em extensa pesquisa em diários de campo, agendas, relatos de guerra e, especialmente, nas cartas escritas pelos soldados às famílias. Edsel também coletou informações em entrevistas exclusivas com os próprios Monuments Man. O livro concentra-se na atuação de oito deles, mas, a partir de suas histórias, o autor traça um amplo panorama do trabalho desempenhado silenciosamente por esses homens e mulheres – ao todo, eles somavam 350 soldados de 13 diferentes países. A trajetória desses homens dedicados à arte mostra uma nova visão sobre um episódio vital na história mundial recente. Somente com esse empenho foi possível às gerações seguintes contemplar inúmeras obras de arte. Na última década, o trabalho desses homens e mulheres começou a ser reconhecido. Os resultados da extensa pesquisa de Edsel não poderiam chegar em melhor hora. O livro ganhou adaptação para cinema em 2014 com estrelas como George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray e Cate Blanchett.

"There was a huge public outpouring to the recent articles in The New York Times about Family Foundation School, a last-resort institution for troubled teens in upstate New York. It described the near 50% death rate of alumni-including many by suicide-and how the survivors lived with their trauma in the years after leaving the school. A follow-up piece this January covered the shocking facts that came to light through multiple lawsuits and the continuing fight for justice on behalf of the survivors. No one would know this story without Liz, known around the world as Survivor993, and this searing memoir-for readers of works like Girl, Interrupted, Finding Me by Michelle Knight, and The Boy Who Was Raised by a Dog by Bruce Perry-shares the story of her years at Family Foundation, and her rage and recovery in the years after she left. Liz refused to live a quiet life after what she had been through; this is her story of pointing fingers and fighting back. Her hashtag #Iseeyousurvivor has been shared 237 million times. In a narrative reminiscent of Erin Brockovich, Liz and her group of "troubled teens" shut the Family Foundation School after testifying in Congress, and they went on to shutter The Agape Boys Ranch and Circle of Hope, two abusive Christian homes in Missouri. I SEE YOU, SURVIVOR, is about what really happened at The Family and the thousands of facilities like it, about how destroying a child through "tough love" is abuse, and the abuse of children has consequences. This book will challenge your faith, break your heart and make you cry-but this is not a dark book. It is an inspiring book. Because it's not a book about trauma, it's about triumph, and Liz's critical message for every survivor she sees: "You are not broken. You are not unlovable. And you are not alone. There are millions of us. And I come with a message, for you, for them, for everyone: They act strong, but we are stronger. We are worthy. We are not alone. Speak, and we will be there for you. Speak, because there is power in your testimony. Speak, and we will win.""--
