Books of a Summer

Público6 September 2026 at 00:00

This brief reflective text addresses the purpose of reading, arguing that books allow the reader to embark on an infinite journey. The text presents a view on the role of books in people's lives, suggesting that reading offers an escape and a form of inner enrichment.

The column, which was titled "Livros de um verão", also includes a reference to an old song by Caetano Veloso. The author paraphrases a lyric from the Brazilian singer to reinforce the idea that books play an important role in preventing despair and maintaining hope.

The text is opinionated and literary in nature, not constituting a conventional news piece with specific facts or concrete events. It is a brief reflection on the value of reading, presented in a poetic and personal manner.

Rock in Rio 2026: storms have marked the festival's history; remember

Rain and Rock in Rio have a long history together, dating back to the festival's first edition in 1985, when storms transformed the audience's experience and became part of the event's memory. At the debut, heavy rain hit Rock City in Jacarepaguá and turned the grounds into a huge mud pit. Images of the audience covered in mud, including during Queen's performance with Freddie Mercury, became iconic marks of the festival. The first edition brought together approximately 1.38 million people over ten days.

Before being Calvin Harris: Rock in Rio DJ released songs at 18 years old under a different name

Calvin Harris, the headliner at Rock in Rio's Palco Mundo, didn't always use that name. At 18 years old, in 2002, the Scottish DJ released "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days" under the stage name Stouffer, in physical formats such as 12-inch single and CD-EP. This phase lasted a short time, and in 2004 he was already credited as Calvin Harris on the song "Let me know," featuring Ayah Marar, on the compilation Electric Soul, Vol. 2, by duo The Unabombers. The name Calvin Harris only gained prominence a few years later.

Farming aura

The concept "farming aura" is a Gen Z trend that went viral on TikTok and Instagram, combining the "farming" mechanic from video games with personal magnetism. Instead of feeling embarrassed when going through an awkward moment, young people now say they "lost 500 aura points," as if it were a game. The trend represents a way for Gen Z to deal with embarrassing situations in a lighter manner, transforming embarrassment into something trivial and even humorous, in contrast to the anxious rumination that would be more common in previous generations.
