Aimed at students – This book was designed specifically for the school environment, with short texts, accessible language, and everyday themes (friendship, family, school, society, humor, and reflection). This helps students develop reading comprehension, critical thinking, and a love of reading in a lighthearted way.

It features a new selection of chronicles by renowned Brazilian writers, such as Fernando Sabino, Luís Fernando Veríssimo, Rubem Braga, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Paulo Mendes Campos, and others.

Like the first volume, the goal is to introduce students and general readers to the chronicle genre, demonstrating how it addresses everyday themes, social issues, behavioral critiques, and reflections on life in a lighthearted, humorous, and yet profound manner.

Narrator:
"Firing... was the least this leader deserved. In the strict director's view, he should never have led a group of people. And yet... he chose twelve individuals to begin a complex project."]

Director:
"Twelve! And the selection... inappropriate! An uneducated fisherman, someone with no interpersonal skills, someone rejected by the community... and even someone suspected of dishonesty!"

Leader:
"I chose those no one else wanted. I saw potential where others didn't. I treated each one fairly... and did my duty."

People:
"He talked to people rejected by society! He ate lunch with the marginalized! What kind of leader is this? The safety and well-being of our people are at risk!"

Narrator:
“He not only defied laws and customs… but he touched the sick, helped the rejected, and challenged traditions that seemed immutable… and yet, he did the impossible.”

Director:
“Disrespect! Transgression! A scandal in the middle of the liturgy! He should have been punished for his lifestyle and his actions!”

Leader:
“You judge without understanding… my choices and my actions… my intention was to help, not harm.

People:
“He… he defied everything we know… and yet… something about him catches our attention… unusual, inspiring… impossible to forget.”

Narrator:
"And so it ended... outside the rules, but leaving eternal reflections. The empire... in silence."
