In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing each of them to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is forced to represent her district in the Games.

First in the ground-breaking HUNGER GAMES trilogy. Set in a dark vision of the near future, a terrifying reality TV show is taking place. Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to appear in a live event called The Hunger Games. There is only one rule: kill or be killed. When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her younger sister''s place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before. For her, survival is second nature.

Efter en tid av fruktansvärda naturkatastrofer och krig bildades nationen Panem. För att kväsa uppror och påminna befolkningen om regimens makt arrangeras varje år Hungerspelen, en brutal kamp där 24 ungdomar från Panems 12 distrikt slåss för att vinna – och överleva. Som en av deltagarna i Hungerspelen hamnar Katniss snart i rampljuset. Hon förs till huvudstaden, där hon tränas, stylas och intervjuas. För att klara sig måste hon bryta mot spelets regler och sätta sig upp mot landets makthavare. Men Katniss blir snart en bricka i ett spel. Vad hon än gör verkar det föra med sig våld och lidande, och hon vet hon inte längre vem hon kan lita på. Fångad mellan den gryende revolutionen och Panems president inser Katniss att hennes handlingar har satt saker och ting i rörelse som hon inte längre kan kontrollera ... De bästsäljande böckerna bakom storfilmen "The Hunger Games"! Suzanne Collins kultförklarade framtidstrilogi är en spännande berättelse om maktens förgörande kraft och människans kamp för frihet. Men det är också en gripande skildring om liv, död och kärlek. Här finns nu för första gången alla tre böckerna - "Hungerspelen", "Fatta Eld" och "Revolt" - samlade i en volym.

FINALMENTE A SUBMISSÃO DARÁ LUGAR À LIBERDADE. SERÁ? Depois de sobreviver duas vezes à crueldade de uma arena projetada para destruí-la, Katniss acreditava que não precisaria mais lutar. Mas as regras do jogo mudaram: com a chegada dos rebeldes do lendário Distrito 13, enfim é possível organizar uma resistência. Começou a revolução. A coragem de Katniss nos jogos fez nascer a esperança em um país disposto a fazer de tudo para se livrar da opressão. E agora, contra a própria vontade, ela precisa assumir seu lugar como símbolo da causa rebelde. Ela precisa virar o Tordo. O sucesso da revolução dependerá de Katniss aceitar ou não essa responsabilidade. Será que vale a pena colocar sua família em risco novamente? Será que as vidas de Peeta e Gale serão os tributos exigidos nessa nova guerra? Acompanhe Katniss até o fim deste thriller, numa jornada ao lado mais obscuro da alma humana, em uma luta contra a opressão e a favor da esperança. A esperança é o último livro da trilogia Jogos Vorazes que foi adaptada para o cinema e estrelada por Jennifer Lawrence. "O melhor dos três livros; um romance primorosamente orquestrado e inteligente, recomendado para todos os leitores." - Publishers Weekly
