About this listen
A sucessora une prosa intimista e psicológica ao dar voz a uma protagonista feminina: Marina, uma jovem recém-casada que após uma romântica lua de mel muda-se para a mansão do marido, o milionário Roberto Steen. Ao entrar em sua nova residência, depara-se com um imponente retrato de Alice, a primeira mulher de Roberto, falecida poucos meses antes de Marina e ele se conhecerem. Alice era dona de uma personalidade exuberante e um ícone da sociedade carioca, enquanto Marina, criada na fazenda da família, sempre levou uma vida simples e distante dos costumes liberais da cidade grande. Marina é então invadida por sentimentos de insegurança e inadequação. Afinal, numa vida em que todos – involuntariamente ou nem tanto – a comparam à primeira Madame Steen, será que seu amor por Roberto resistirá ao fantasma de uma mulher tão especial?
A sucessora é um romance envolvente escrito por Carolina Nabuco, uma das primeiras mulheres brasileiras a atuar como escritora. Publicado em 1934, alcançou grande sucesso editorial, recebendo várias reedições no Brasil. Em 1941, com o Oscar de melhor filme para Rebecca, a mulher inesquecível, do diretor Alfred Hitchcock, um debate internacional teve início: o romance que inspirou o filme, da inglesa Daphne du Maurier, publicado em 1938, teria sido plágio de A sucessora. A semelhança entre os romances foi reconhecida por críticos literários da época, e não se trata de mera coincidência: antes da publicação, Carolina Nabuco enviou ao agente literário da escritora inglesa os originais de seu livro, traduzidos por ela mesma para o inglês. Nabuco, contudo, preferiu evitar conflitos judiciais.
Décadas mais tarde, a narrativa de A sucessora foi adaptada para o formato de telenovela por Manoel Carlos e exibida com sucesso pela Rede Globo entre 1978 e 1979, tendo Susana Vieira no papel de Marina.
QUEM FOI CAROLINA NABUCO?
Carolina Nabuco nasceu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1890. Passou a adolescência nos Estados Unidos, onde o pai, o estadista e abolicionista Joaquim Nabuco, era embaixador do Brasil. Tornou-se importante escritora já ao publicar seu primeiro livro: a biografia de seu pai, em 1928, obra que no ano seguinte receberia o Prêmio de Ensaio da Academia Brasileira de Letras. Apesar da educação recebida no exterior, possuía um espírito altamente brasileiro. Atuou como escritora e tradutora e levou uma vida discreta. Não se casou nem teve filhos. Além de A vida de Joaquim Nabuco e de A sucessora, é também autora, entre outros livros, de Chamas e cinzas (romance, 1947), Visão dos Estados Unidos (viagem, 1953), Santa Catarina de Sena (biografia, 1957), A vida de Virgílio de Melo Franco (biografia, 1962), Retrato dos Estados Unidos à luz da sua literatura (crítica literária, 1967), O ladrão de guarda-chuva e dez outras histórias (coletânea de contos, 1969) e Oito décadas (memórias, 1973). Em 1978, recebeu o Prêmio Machado de Assis, da Academia Brasileira de Letras, pelo conjunto da obra. Quatro anos depois, em agosto de 1981, faleceu em decorrência de um ataque cardíaco, aos 91 anos, em sua casa na rua Marquês de Olinda, no Rio de Janeiro.

Story
Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali. Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret. Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe. Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.
