Story
Eleanor Merritt, a do-gooding American family-planning worker, was drawn to Kenya to improve the lot of the poor. Unnervingly, she finds herself falling in love with the beguiling Calvin Piper despite, or perhaps because of, his misanthropic theories about population control and the future of the human race. Surely, Calvin whispers seductively in Eleanor's ear, if the poor are a responsibility they are also an imposition.

Story
Une réflexion sur notre rapport à la vieillesse et sur l'art délicat de préparer sa sortie. Ils l'ont décidé depuis longtemps. Pour ne pas disparaître dans l'indignité, la sénilité, la misère d'un système de santé défaillant, Kay et Cyril mettront fin à leur vie le jour de leurs 80 ans – ensemble. Depuis lors, la petite pilule attend sur les étagères du frigo, dans une boîte à savon. Mais l'échéance approchant, le vieux couple ne voit plus la chose du même œil. Tandis que la date fatidique approche, douze fins potentielles s'ouvrent à eux. Douze options possibles. À prendre. Ou à laisser.

Story
Aos 15 anos, o personagem Kevin mata 11 pessoas, entre colegas no colégio e familiares. Enquanto ele cumpre pena, a mãe Eva amarga a monstruosidade do filho. Entre culpa e solidão, ela apenas sobrevive. A vida normal se esvai no escândalo, no pagamento dos advogados, nos olhares tortos. Transposto o primeiro estágio da perplexidade, um ano e oito meses depois, ela dá início a uma correspondência com o marido, único interlocutor capaz de entender a tragédia, apesar de ausente. Cada carta é uma ode e uma desconstrução do amor.

Story
Tennis has been Willy Novinsky's one love ever since she first picked up a racquet at the age of four. A middle-ranked pro at 23, she's met her match in Eric Oberdorf, a low-ranked Princeton grad who also intends to make his mark on the international tennis circuit. Eric becomes Willy's first passion off the court, and eventually they marry. But while wedded life begins well, competition soon puts a strain on their relationship - and an accident sends Willy sliding irrevocably toward resentment, tragedy, and despair.

Story
Uma guerra fria de escala mundial reestrutura a ordem socioeconômica do planeta, criando novos eixos de poder. A União Europeia se desfaz, a China enfim é alçada ao posto de maior potência global e o longo período de prosperidade dos Estados Unidos chega ao fim. Da noite para o dia, o dólar despenca e, além do valor, perde também seu prestígio: uma nova moeda internacional, o bancor, chega para substituí-lo.

Story
Há anos um grupo separatista da região de Barba, em Portugal, explode bombas ao redor do mundo como estratégia para conseguir a sua independência. A comunidade internacional vive aterrorizada com os atentados implacáveis e imprevisíveis e a autodeterminação de Barba é um dos temas centrais e mais quentes da política mundial. A capital, Cinzeiro, abriga jornalistas de toda parte, entre eles o recém-chegado Edgar Kellogg–advogado bem-sucedido que trocou a carreira em Nova York pelo entusiasmo e a imprevisibilidade do jornalismo.
