Mouse Guard – Os Pequenos Guardiões: Inverno de 1152 é o segundo volume da série criada por David Petersen. Nesta edição, a Guarda enfrenta uma escassez de alimentos e suprimentos que ameaça a vida de muitos ratos durante uma estação fria e gelada. Alguns dos melhores Guardiões – Saxon, Kenzie, Lieam e Sadie, liderados por Celanawe – atravessam os Territórios cobertos de neve atuando como diplomatas para melhorar as relações entre as cidades dos ratos e a Guarda, e se encontram em uma corrida contra o tempo para entregar medicamentos a todos. Este é um inverno em que nem todos os Guardiões podem sobreviver...

Mouse Guard – Os Pequenos Guardiões é uma série de quadrinhos de David Petersen. Na trama, ratos antropomorfizados lutam para viver em segurança e prosperar em meio a predadores e a um mundo hostil. Assim, a Guarda foi formada: mais do que soldados que lutam contra intrusos, eles são guias para os ratos comuns que procuram uma jornada sem perigo de uma aldeia para outra. A Guarda patrulha as fronteiras, encontra rotas seguras por territórios perigosos e terrenos traiçoeiros, vigia as mudanças do tempo e mantém os Territórios dos ratos livres de predadores. Eles fazem tudo com dedicação para que possam não apenas existir, mas viver de verdade. Em Outono de 1152, Saxon, Kenzie e Lieam, três Guardiões, recebem a missão de encontrar um mercador desaparecido que nunca chegou ao seu destino. A busca pelo rato perdido revela muito mais do que esperavam, como a existência de um traidor nas fileiras da Guarda. Mouse Guard is a David Petersen''s comic series. In this universe, anthropomorphized mice struggle to live safely and prosper amongst harsh conditions and a host of predators. Thus the Mouse Guard was formed: more than just soldiers that fight off intruders, they are guides for common mice looking to journey without confrontation from one hidden village to another. The Guard patrol borders, find safeways and paths through dangerous territories and treacherous terrain, watch weather patterns, and keep the mouse territories free of predatory infestation. They do so with fearless dedication so that they might not just exist, but truly live. In Fall 1152, Saxon, Kenzie and Lieam, three of the Guard, received a mission to find a missing merchant that never arrived at his destination. Their search for the missing mouse reveals much more than they expect, as they stumble across a traitor in the Guard''s own ranks. This is the Brazilian edition, published in Brazilian Portuguese by Conrad Editora in January 2022.

David Petersen was a low-odds, dark-horse chance that his family, the robbery division of the San Antonio Police Department and the 186th District Criminal Court decided to take. The 16 year sentence he accepted in plea bargaining was for two of twelve admitted counts of aggravated robbery. The chance was conferring them concurrently - two eight-year sentences - with trustee time credit possibilities.The promise was a number of habitual offender sentences, effectively for life, if he didn''t get it right the first time.The tenor of opioid problems in the public health arena back then in 1977 was greatly and hardly different than it is today. Opiates was the terminology, and ORT (Opioid Replacement Therapy) was the Traitement du jour (Treatment of the day).Today, armed with considerable advances in pharmacology and neurobiological understanding, many of the drug names and treatment theories have new names. Yet, the place that opiates, or opioids if you wish have become more deeply and harmfully embedded in the lives and mindset of western culture.Few make their way out. Many die in untimely manner, and many more spend their lives in serial episodes of brief respite from active addiction. David Petersen is an independent mental health practitioner, consultant and interventionist who is offering insights that are less popular, and expect less from the managed care, judicial and treatment establishments. More, he says, will have to come from the addicts, and their families and communities.

"Opinionated and iconoclastic, Petersen writes with humor and a well-honed craft that will delight fans of Edward Abbey." -Library Journal (starred review) Twenty-five years ago David Petersen and his wife, Caroline, pulled up stakes, trading Laguna Beach, California, for a snug hand-built cabin in the wilderness. Today he knows that mountain land as intimately as anyone can know his home. Petersen conflates a quarter century into the adventures of four high-country seasons, tracking the rigors of survival from the snowmelt that announces the arrival of spring to the decline and death of autumn and winter that will establish the fertile ground needed for next year''s rebirth. In the past we listened to Henry David Thoreau or Aldo Leopold; today it is Petersen''s turn. His observations are lyrical, scientific, and from the heart. He reinforces Thoreau''s dictum: "in wildness is the preservation of the earth." In prose rich with mystery and soul, his words are a plea for the survival of the remnant wilderness. "Many of us would like to live a life of greater intention and simplicity, but few can and even fewer do. David Petersen is one of those rare human beings among us who lives a wild life with a cultured mind . . . [He] has created a map all of us can follow."-Terry Tempest Williams, author of The Open Space of Democracy

With never-before-seen sketches, over 150 pages of full-color oversized artwork, and commentary from colleagues, collaborators, and Petersen himself, readers and fans get an unprecedented look behind-the-curtain at how their favorite characters and adventures were born"--Back cover.
