There, feeling lost in a place that should be his home and completely alone, he is tormented by memories of his childhood. Amidst the rural and supposedly peaceful landscape, he gradually reveals secrets about his family and his childhood. Forced to revisit everything he most wishes he could forget, he discovers that, even after years, trauma is never overcome when one lacks a clear understanding of what one experienced, especially when that trauma involves the death of one's own father.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this moving and profound novel, Carlos Herculano Lopes, author of the award-winning \"A Dança dos Cabelos\" (The Dance of the Hair), among others, once again achieves a very high level of formal elaboration and psychological depth. His literature shows us that every individual experience is, at the same time, universal. It's impossible to read \"The Last Cognac\" and not notice that the search for identity, the rediscovery of one's roots, and the fear of being alone are experiences and feelings that are part of all of us and all societies, whether urban or rural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1995, the book has undergone several reprints over the years. As Wander Melo Miranda, professor emeritus at UFMG and a leading scholar of Brazilian literature, states in the afterword accompanying this edition: from its debut, Carlos Herculano Lopes's singularity \"immediately asserted itself, presenting a new way of addressing local themes without being bound by limiting regionalisms or the repetitive urban themes prevalent in recent decades in Brazilian literature (...). His literary persuasiveness lies entirely in the creation of this other world, which momentarily departs from our reality to better represent it—our happiness and our damnation. What more is needed to justify the relevance of this small, great book?\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159524098300,"sku":"9786555878899","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/1d8d7cec696a1355607869a9896945eb.jpg?v=1778875327"},{"product_id":"a-danca-dos-cabelos","title":"The dance of hair","description":"Novel winner of the Guimarães Rosa and Sarney Law awards\n\n Besides being a beautiful novel, A dança dos cabelo can also be considered a delicate embroidery, a fine lace of words woven from the memories of three Isauras: grandmother, mother, and daughter. It is the lives of these women, stitched together into a single fabric, that compose the fabric of a story that seduces and captivates the reader from the beginning. \nIsaura had and raised fourteen children by the man who killed her entire family, and one day, fulfilling her destiny, she threw herself into the waters of the Suaçuí River. Isaura waited for more than twenty years for her man to return to the world. Isaura tells us of a train in distant countries, heading for the cold lands.\n Each of these Isauras has her own story, or rather, her own countless stories. But as we travel through time with the text, we discover that they are also a single woman. A holy trinity formed by the violent inheritance, the mark on the forehead, that each woman carries from her mother. A legacy of blood, of fear, of sex.\n The text—like the story—is itself a puzzle, the kind that, well-assembled by the reader, results in new landscapes for our eyes weary of the commonplace. A text full of poetry and a strong rhythm. Of an almost fantastical quality that slips into reality and blends with it.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159816913148,"sku":"9788501061799","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/819301199ad67872631e0c382f3ca8ae.jpg?v=1778317154"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/carlos-herculano-lopes.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
