"Entre Santos", de Machado de Assis, é daqueles contos se se lê com um sorriso estampado no rosto. Nele, o autor propõe como enredo um diálogo entre santos, que discutem a crença nos homens – numa clara inversão de papéis, já que não são os homens a debater a crença nos santos. Religião, transcendência e psicanálise são temas para reflexão a partir de sua leitura.

Em "Se eu fosse Sherlock Holmes", Medeiros e Albuquerque faz jus ao título de pioneiro do policial no Brasil trazendo um narrador que declaradamente se diz inspirado pelo famoso detetive britânico e resolve o mistério do roubo de um anel. Já em "O soldado Jacob", o terror é que dá cor ao conto, na história de um soldado internado em uma instituição para doentes mentais que vive às voltas com seu pesadelo maior.

Pestana desejava compor obras clássicas, mas seu sucesso vinha mesmo era das polcas, logo assobiadas pelo povo. Em "Um homem célebre", o narrador faz um recorte no dia a dia do compositor Pestana, frustrado por não ver realizado seu desejo. Bem humorado, o conto apresenta a ironia do destino que o persegue.

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.

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.

Sonho ou realidade? Em "Uns braços", de Machado de Assis, encontra-se a história do jovem Inácio, que mora com o solicitador Borges numa casa grande em que vive também Dona Severina, notória por trazer os braços sempre nus, conduta incomum nos idos de 1870.

"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.

Primeiro documento a descrever o Brasil, a Carta de Pero Vaz de Caminha conta como foi o desembarque dos navegantes portugueses no que hoje é a chamada Costa do Descobrimento – Porto Seguro e entorno. Considerada por muitos poética, a carta ao rei D. Manuel I narra o primeiro encontro de índios e colonizadores, bem como a primeira missa no Brasil.

Parte do livro "Cidades mortas", "O luzeiro agrícola", de Monteiro Lobato, explora algumas alternativas à falta de discernimento dos fazendeiros da época (1910), com o humor característico do autor. A monocultura do café era então o problema maior a ser debatido.

I let him in, and he surrounded me with a light so bright that I was blinded by the truth. Men don't ruin women. They devour them in every way that counts.

Doughnuts were her weakness. If Sadie Mullins hadn't been running on the beach to burn off the calories from her doughnut addiction, she wouldn't have noticed the man not moving out in the water. Wouldn't have dived in after him. Wouldn't have met West Montgomery. The cocky bastard should have been thankful, grateful even. Of course, he wasn't. That should have been the end of it. Of course, it wasn't. Damn doughnuts.
