No conto "O Romance do Chupim", de Monteiro Lobato, uma análise das relações de gênero ganha a atenção. Eduardinho Tavares é o protagonista e serve de pivô para a discussão (misoginia entre seus tópicos), subjacente ao enredo que vai sendo desenrolado pelo narrador, que recupera as lembranças que tem do rapaz e de sua tia Zenóbia.

"O espião alemão", de Monteiro Lobato, é daqueles contos cujo enredo surpreende e a sinopse não pode falar muito, para evita spoiler. Na cidade de Itaoca, os cidadãos se agrupam numa espécie de exército para encarar a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Pompa e cerimônia de quartel regadas pela ironia do narrador. Então um homem estrangeiro surge na cidade.

Esse conto de Eça de Queiroz se passa no tempo de São Francisco de Assis e narra uma passagem, na Itália, da vida de um frade bondoso chamado Frei Genebro. Naquela altura, sua generosidade já notória, e nela se concentra o enredo, que começa com a visita do religioso ao Irmão Egídio, eremita que morava nas montanhas.

Em "O plágio", Monteiro Lobato condena a condição de superioridade concedida aos escritores do início do século XX. O personagem Ernesto, de modesta intelectualidade, é o plagiador e absorve as consequências do seu ato, que crescem à medida que corre o enredo. A atração pela cultura francesa e o papel da imprensa – notadamente da crítica literária – são também alvo da análise de Lobato.

Em "O tesouro", de Eça de Queiroz, o enredo gira em torno da busca de um tesouro perdido, empreendida por três irmãos, em uma floresta.

Dear Heart, I can't believe I am even writing this. I wanted a fresh start, to follow a new dream that I had to find after I lost Elijah. Moving to New York was the best thing for me. I had it all planned out: new friends, new job, and a new adventure. And a new adventure I had: my best friend's dad. It was supposed to be a taboo fling...but it was so much more. We were tied together by more than a mutual connection. It ran deeper than blood.

But if Lead Detective Denis Quayle—the man who knows the case better than anybody else—isn’t fully convinced of the twins’ guilt, can a jury be?

Maya Noise is about the life and insights of a modern day mystic. In 1996, at the age of 33, John Dalton had a profound realization. He could have set himself up as a Guru, changed his name, started a commune, and developed a worldwide following. Instead, he did something more original. In the tradition of Autobiography of a Yogi, and with the authority of The Power of Now, Maya Noise is a refreshing addition to the canon of literature for those searching for the truth, and an unorthodox alternative for those interested in world peace.
