The floods of November 2008, which left several cities in Santa Catarina in a state of public calamity, kick off Carlos Henrique Schroeder's new novel, \"History of Rain.\" The reader is led by a legacy of loss, but is also introduced to the world of performing arts, aging, and art. The book explores the intricate relationship between Arthur and Lauro: friends, professional partners, and directors of the Grupo Extemporâneo de Formas Animadas (GEFA), which specializes in animated theater. The narrative begins at a critical point in Lauro's life: recently divorced and stunned by Arthur's absence, he searches for meaning in his memories. The work is narrated by another identity of the author, who attempts, by creating a profile of Arthur, to discover how much theater and art still hold meaning for him. Brilliantly crafted, Schroeder's literature is one of those things: it's filled with real and fictional elements that play with the reader, proving that there's no limit between the stage and the world. It's no surprise that *History of Rain* was awarded the 2012 Petrobrás Cultural Program's Literary Creation Grant.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175504167164,"sku":"9788501105387","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/9361f8d345043a72c7f6d85e039289ca_82f5a47b-8033-4bd0-add2-38c6f1092529.jpg?v=1778321576"},{"product_id":"as-fantasias-eletivas","title":"The elective fantasies","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFrom the same author of the award-winning \u003cem\u003eCertainties and Words\u003c\/em\u003e .\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e\"As fantasias eletivas\" (Elective Fantasies\u003c\/em\u003e ), Carlos Henrique Schroeder offers an essay on the human soul.

With sarcastic erudition and imagination as extraordinary as it is rigorous, the book brings together dozens of short stories revolving around these eight-legged arthropods. They emerge as characters or, through their appearance or name, inspire behaviors and destinies, creating a kind of narrative web—where everything ultimately intertwines and entangles us. Author of the bestseller *As fantasias eletivas* (The Elective Fantasies), Carlos Henrique Schroeder once again proves himself one of Brazil's most inventive writers, delivering a kind of social tour de force to address themes such as prejudice, love, death, envy, and our absolute lack of understanding of what it means to be human.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176467382524,"sku":"9788501118509","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/2b4a32550ec2598f9e27211388374152_d5cb01cd-d293-42ad-9db8-fcc794edaeaa.jpg?v=1778324358"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/carlos-henrique-schroeder.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
