Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is a Grade I listed combined bascule, suspension, and, until 1960, cantilever bridge in London, built between 1886 and 1894, designed by Horace Jones and engineered by John Wolfe Barry with the help of Henry Marc Brunel. It crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and is one of five London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Foundation, a charitable trust founded in 1282.
The bridge was constructed to connect the 39% of London's population that lived east of London Bridge, equivalent to the populations of "Manchester on the one side, and Liverpool on the other", while allowing shipping to access the Pool of London between the Tower of London and London Bridge. The bridge was opened by Edward, Prince of Wales, and Alexandra, Princess of Wales, on 30 June 1894.
O velho que lia romances de amor
Antonio José Bolívar Proaño vive em El Idilio, um lugar remoto na região amazónica dos índios shuar, com quem aprendeu a conhecer a selva e as suas leis, a respeitar os animais que a povoam, mas também a caçar e descobrir os trilhos mais indecifráveis. Um certo dia resolve começar a ler, com paixão, os romances de amor que, duas vezes por ano, lhe leva o dentista Rubicundo Loachamín, para ocupar as solitárias noites equatoriais da sua velhice anunciada. Com eles, procura alhear-se da fanfarronice estúpida desses «gringos» e garimpeiros que julgam dominar a selva porque chegam armados até aos dentes, mas que não sabem enfrentar uma fera a quem mataram as crias. Descrito numa linguagem cristalina e enxuta, as aventuras e emoções do velho Bolívar Proaño há muito conquistaram o coração de milhões de leitores em todo o mundo, transformando o romance de Luis Sepúlveda num clássico da literatura latino-americana.
