New Releases by Matt Haig

A biblioteca da meia-noite & A vida impossível, dois grandes sucessos do autor best-seller do New York Times e da revista Veja Matt Haig. A Biblioteca da Meia-Noite A biblioteca da meia-noite Nora Seed é uma mulher de 35 anos, cheia de talentos e poucas conquistas. Arrependida das escolhas que fez, ela se pergunta o que poderia ter acontecido caso tivesse seguido outros caminhos. Após ser demitida e seu gato ser atropelado, Nora vê pouco sentido em sua existência e decide pôr fim em tudo. Porém, quando se vê na Biblioteca da Meia-Noite, Nora ganha uma oportunidade única de viver todas as vidas que poderia ter vivido. Neste lugar entre a vida e a morte, e graças à ajuda de uma velha amiga, Nora pode, finalmente, se mudar para a Austrália, reatar relacionamentos antigos – ou começar outros –, ser uma estrela do rock, uma glaciologista, uma nadadora olímpica... Mas será que alguma dessas outras vidas é realmente melhor do que a que ela já tem? Em A biblioteca da meia-noite, Nora Seed se vê exatamente na situação pela qual todos gostaríamos de poder passar: voltar no tempo e desfazer algo de que nos arrependemos. Diante dessa possibilidade, Nora faz um mergulho interior viajando pelos livros da Biblioteca da Meia-Noite até entender o que é verdadeiramente importante na vida e o que faz, de fato, com que ela valha a pena ser vivida. "Um cenário de possibilidades ilimitadas, de novos caminhos trilhados, de novas vidas vividas, de um mundo totalmente diferente disponível para nós de alguma forma, em algum lugar, pode ser exatamente do que precisamos nesses tempos difíceis e turbulentos." - The New York Times A Vida Impossível Maurice tem 22 anos e está no último ano da faculdade de matemática, mas não consegue se concentrar nos estudos e tem achado difícil seguir com a vida. O mundo anda muito complicado, a humanidade parece estar a caminho da destruição, e isso tudo, somado à morte da mãe, à relação difícil com o pai, e ao término do namoro, faz com que ele se sinta nas trevas. Só o que precisa é de uma luz. Então manda um e-mail de desabafo para sua ex-professora de matemática da escola, Grace Winters, e a mensagem que recebe dela pode ser tudo de que ele precisa para sair das trevas. "Um livro lindo, com cenas fascinantes e insights fantásticos que reafirmam o valor da vida." - Benedict Cumberbatch

Un pavillon dans une banlieue British, deux enfants au lycée, des dîners entre voisins… En apparence, Helen et Peter Radley ont tout du couple « parfait ». Mais quand leur fille Clara se fait agresser en rentrant seule d’une fête et commet l’irréparable, ils sont confrontés à la vérité qu’ils essaient de dissimuler depuis plus de vingt ans. Obligés d’expliquer à leurs enfants pourquoi ils ne peuvent pas manger d’ail sans s’asphyxier ni sortir de chez eux sans se tartiner d’écran total, Helen et Peter craignent que leur régime végétarien ne convienne plus à ces jeunes vampires en pleine crise d’adolescence. Et lorsque le frère de Peter arrive en ville, bien décidé à leur prouver qu’ils ne peuvent pas refouler indéfiniment leurs instincts, les Radley comprennent que les jours paisibles sont derrière eux… et que l’avenir pourrait se révéler plus ensanglanté qu’ils ne l’imaginaient. À contre-courant de toutes les histoires de vampires d’hier et d’aujourd’hui, Matt Haig renouvelle le genre avec ce roman, féroce et brillante satire de notre société, et pur plaisir de lecture. Né en 1975 en Angleterre, Matt Haig est journaliste et écrivain. Traduit en plus de 40 langues, il est l’auteur de plusieurs best-sellers internationaux qui ont bouleversé les lecteurs du monde entier, dont La Bibliothèque de minuit, vendu à 9 millions d’exemplaires, Rester en vie et Une vie impossible.

Een tijdloos, troostend boek voor wie het nodig heeft

Ratatouille meets Roald Dahl in the funny and fantastical story of a determined mouse on a mission to procure the world''s tastiest cheese. From the author of A Boy Called Christmas–now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull! When Nikolas left the only home he had ever known, it was a mouse named Miika who kept him company, and it was Miika who accompanied him on his journey to the Far North, in search of his father. But before the events of A Boy Called Christmas, this little mouse was the hero of his own story. A Mouse Called Miika is an epic adventure story on a miniature scale. It''s a tale of mice and men (and more mice). It is about one independent mouse who gets fed up with the other mice, and sets out on a quest of his own to prove that cheese exists, and learns to appreciate other creatures. It is also a tale of great love (of cheese) and great danger. And learning the lesson that, with cheese, as with life, what matters most is not how strongly you smell, but how strong you are on the inside. Funny, cheeky, wise, and packed full of Matt Haig''s signature warmth. This is set to become a year-round children''s favorite.

Roald Dahl meets Elf in this warmhearted Christmas caper about the boy who would one day be Santa Claus, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library. Now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull! Eleven-year-old Nikolas–nicknamed "Christmas"–has received only one toy in his life: a doll carved out of a turnip. But he''s happy with his turnip doll, because it came from his parents who love him. Then one day his father goes missing, and Nikolas must travel to the North Pole to save him. Along the way, Nikolas befriends a surly reindeer, bests a troublesome troll, and discovers a hidden world of enchantment in the frozen village of Elfhelm. But the elves of Elfhelm have troubles of their own: Christmas spirit and goodwill are at an all-time low, and Nikolas may be the only person who can fix things–if only he can reach his father before it''s too late. . . . Sparkling with wit and warmth, A Boy Called Christmas is a Christmas classic-in-the-making from acclaimed author Matt Haig and illustrator Chris Mould.

PREMIO GOODREADS 2020 A LA MEJOR OBRA DE FICCIÓN «Entre la vida y la muerte hay una biblioteca. Y los estantes de esa biblioteca son infinitos. Cada libro da la oportunidad de probar otra vida que podrías haber vivido y de comprobar cómo habrían cambiado las cosas si hubieras tomado otras decisiones... ¿Habrías hecho algo de manera diferente si hubieras tenido la oportunidad?». Nora Seed aparece, sin saber cómo, en la Biblioteca de la Medianoche, donde se le ofrece una nueva oportunidad para hacer las cosas bien. Hasta ese momento, su vida ha estado marcada por la infelicidad y el arrepentimiento. Nora siente que ha defraudado a todos, y también a ella misma. Pero esto está a punto de cambiar. Los libros de la Biblioteca de la Medianoche permitirán a Nora vivir como si hubiera hecho las cosas de otra manera. Con la ayuda de una vieja amiga, tendrá la opción de esquivar todo aquello que se arrepiente de haber hecho (o no haber hecho), en pos de la vida perfecta. Pero las cosas no siempre serán como imaginó que serían, y pronto sus decisiones enfrentarán a la Biblioteca y a ella misma en un peligro extremo. Nora deberá responder una última pregunta antes de que el tiempo se agote: ¿cuál es la mejor manera de vivir?

Como podemos nos sentir menos ansiosos e deprimidos em um mundo cada vez mais dominado pelas redes sociais? Após anos convivendo com a depressão e as crises de pânico, Matt Haig percebeu que determinadas interações nas redes sociais agiam como gatilhos para a sua ansiedade. Em uma tentativa de buscar uma saúde mental mais equilibrada no mundo altamente conectado em que vivemos, Haig começou a pesquisar a relação entre a quantidade de informações, imagens e interação virtual ao nosso dispor e nossa sensação crescente de cansaço, solidão e depressão. Se somos bombardeados de imagens felizes e temos acesso a todo tipo de informação o tempo todo, por que nos sentimos cada vez mais perdidos e solitários? Por que vemos a incidência de quadros como depressão, ansiedade e síndrome do pânico aumentar? Para o autor, essas perguntas só podem ser respondidas fazendo uma análise da nossa sociedade, hoje dominada pela tecnologia e pela lógica do consumo. Uma de suas conclusões é que o modo como vivemos está projetado para nos fazer perder o controle. A partir desse prognóstico, Haig traz propostas para manter a sanidade em um planeta que nos deixa desequilibrados e para buscar a felicidade mesmo com a ansiedade sendo encorajada. Observações sobre um planeta nervoso é um olhar pessoal e fundamental sobre como se sentir feliz, humano e pleno no século XXI.

Twelve-year-old Evie has a talent. She can HEAR what animals are thinking and she can TALK to them with her mind. When Evie goes on a trip to the Amazon rainforest, her powers are put to the test. She makes friends with pink river dolphins, must save an injured sloth, and discovers the secret life of a jaguar. Soon she sees that the jungle is in serious and deadly danger, and comes up with a rather risky plan to help save it.

Un contundente testimonio acerca de los perjuicios de vivir hiperconectados. Matt Haig sostiene que es este mundo nervioso y rápido en el que vivimos el que crea individuos nerviosos, al límite. Estamos más conectados que nunca y sin embargo nunca hemos estado más solos. Esta aceleración se traduce además en un bombardeo informativo que nos exige estar al tanto de las noticias que se suceden, sin tiempo para reflexionar ni resetear nuestras mentes. Si el sistema parece diseñado para hacernos infelices, hay algo que podamos hacer al respecto? ¿Se pueden reorganizar las prioridades? Haig parte de su propia experiencia para explicarnos cómo podemos defendernos, rehumanizarnos y cambiar para siempre el modo en el que invertimos nuestro valioso tiempo en el planeta.

Un oscuro segreto che mette in pericolo i propri cari, una cavalcata attraverso la Storia, l’amore come un frutto proibito. La storia misteriosa di un uomo che ha vissuto tante vite sognandone sempre una normale. «Matt Haig ha un’empatia per la condizione umana, le sue luci e le sue ombre, e usa tutti i colori della sua tavolozza per costruire le sue storie eccellenti». Neil Gaiman Pensate a un uomo che dimostra quarant’anni, ma che in realtà ne ha più di quattrocento. Un uomo che insegna storia nella Londra dei giorni nostri, ma che in realtà ha già vissuto decine di vite in luoghi e tempi diversi. Tom ha una sindrome rara per cui invecchia molto lentamente. Ciò potrebbe sembrare una fortuna... ma è una maledizione. Cosa succederebbe infatti se le persone che amate invecchiassero normalmente mentre voi rimanete sempre gli stessi? Sareste costretti a perdere i vostri affetti, a nascondervi e cambiare continuamente identità per cercare il vostro posto nel mondo e sfuggire ai pericoli che la vostra condizione comporta. Così Tom, portandosi dietro questo oscuro segreto, attraversa i secoli dall’Inghilterra elisabettiana alla Parigi dell’età del jazz, da New York ai mari del Sud, vivendo tante vite ma sognandone una normale. Oggi Tom ha una buona copertura: insegna ai ragazzi di una scuola, raccontando di guerre e cacce alle streghe e fingendo di non averle vissute in prima persona. Tom deve a ogni costo difendere l’equilibrio che si è faticosamente costruito. E sa che c’è una cosa che non deve assolutamente fare: innamorarsi. Come fermare il tempo è una storia folle e dolceamara su come perdere e poi ritrovare se stessi, sull’inevitabilità del cambiamento e sul lungo tempo necessario per imparare a vivere. Una storia bellissima in cui riconoscersi, per piangere su tutto ciò che perdiamo e per rallegrarci delle meraviglie della vita.

De 41-jarige geschiedenisleraar Tom Hazard ziet eruit als een normale man, maar leeft door een ongewone aandoening al eeuwenlang. Hij is overal geweest, heeft alles meegemaakt, is talloze malen van identiteit veranderd. Hij wil nu vooral een gewoon leven, net als ieder ander. Hij mag alleen niet verliefd worden... Het eeuwige leven is een bitterzoet verhaal over identiteit, over de onvermijdelijkheid van veranderingen en over de tijd die het kost om te leren hoe te leven.

Wenn Liebe die Zeit besiegt Seit kurzem lebt Tom Hazard wieder in London, wo er die faszinierende Camille kennenlernt. Auf Anhieb fühlt er sich zu ihr hingezogen. Doch er trägt ein Geheimnis in sich, von dem niemand etwas wissen darf: Tom sieht aus wie 40, in Wirklichkeit aber ist er schon über 400 Jahre alt. Er hat die Elisabethanische Ära in England, die Expeditionen von Captain Cook in der Südsee, das Paris der 20er-Jahre erlebt und regelmäßig eine neue Identität angenommen. Eins war er dabei über die Jahrhunderte hinweg immer: einsam. Während er Camille nun näherkommt, verändert sich für ihn alles.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library. “A quirky romcom dusted with philosophical observations….A delightfully witty…poignant novel.” —The Washington Post “She smiled a soft, troubled smile and I felt the whole world slipping away, and I wanted to slip with it, to go wherever she was going… I had existed whole years without her, but that was all it had been. An existence. A book with no words.” Tom Hazard has just moved back to London, his old home, to settle down and become a high school history teacher. And on his first day at school, he meets a captivating French teacher at his school who seems fascinated by him. But Tom has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he''s been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life. Unfortunately for Tom, the Albatross Society, the secretive group which protects people like Tom, has one rule: Never fall in love. As painful memories of his past and the erratic behavior of the Society''s watchful leader threaten to derail his new life and romance, the one thing he can''t have just happens to be the one thing that might save him. Tom will have to decide once and for all whether to remain stuck in the past, or finally begin living in the present. How to Stop Time tells a love story across the ages—and for the ages—about a man lost in time, the woman who could save him, and the lifetimes it can take to learn how to live. It is a bighearted, wildly original novel about losing and finding yourself, the inevitability of change, and how with enough time to learn, we just might find happiness. Soon to be a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
