Free reading challenge

Seven Brazilian short stories in seven days

One real story a morning, about five minutes long, with help on every word you tap. By Sunday you'll have read seven — and know you can.

How it works

1. 1Join with your email. Your group starts next Monday.
2. 2Each morning, one story arrives: a short hook, three words to know first, and a link that opens it in Verbeto.
3. 3Read it in about five minutes. Tap any word for its meaning in that sentence.

The seven stories

All by Artur de Azevedo, a Rio writer with a weakness for twist endings — shortest first.
