A Substância do Tempo

A Substância do Tempo é um interessante romance de Isabel Pereira Rosa e tem como objectivo transportar-nos para as dificuldades da vida no continente africano.

Ao longo deste romance, que tem como motor central um segredo de família, caminhamos por entre os refugiados das grandes tragédias e crises humanitárias, para mais tarde viajarmos ao horror do Tarrafal.

Com uma boa qualidade literária, A Substância do Tempo brinda-nos com personagens fortes e determinadas que se recusam a sucumbir perante a brutalidade do sistema em que são estão inseridos. Dá-nos um bom retarto da vida nas aldeias do nosso país antes do 25 de Abril de 1974 e deixa-nos uma descrição de ir às lágrimas dos macabros acontecimentos ocorridos dentro das paredes da Prisão do Tarrafal.

Um testemunho forte e emocionante, de uma época cruel, na história contemporânea do nosso país.

Uma boa aposta da Chiado Editora e uma leitura de qualidade.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV.

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor. The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability. Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
