{"title":"Edna Brien","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"a-luz-da-noite","title":"The light of the night","description":"The past is never dead and, definitely, never buried. With each turn of the page of THE NIGHT LIGHT, this is the atmosphere O'Brien creates: the tense confluence of past and present, the refusal of easy redemption. The author's poetry lies in the silent gesture, the unspoken word, the failure of communication. Edna O'Brien reveals the world through the senses, through emotions, through understanding the dimensions of her characters. The perception of others through our own fears, failures, and enigmas. An expert in describing the myriad of human emotions, the asymmetries between mother and daughter, the mismatch between couples, the Irish author Edna O'Brien creates, here, a fable about prodigal sons. The search for freedom and love. Amidst this whirlwind lurk drunken and brutal parents, lost opportunities, and married lovers. And a strong religious element triggered by people ready to judge, torment, and castrate the scandalous protagonists—Dilly and Eleanora, naive and strong women seeking to escape the rigors of convention. Dilly Macready, 78, is dying of cancer in a Dublin hospital, awaiting the annual visit of her daughter, Eleanora. A famous writer, exiled for her sensual romances and her marriage to a man disapproved of by her mother, Eleanora recreates with bizarre veneration the emotional and physical landscape of her native Ireland. Rebellious disinterest and constant filial duty duel in her soul. While waiting for Eleanora, Dilly recalls her own journey, her inexorable love for her daughter, and the insurmountable distance. Without warning, O'Brien makes detours, deconstructs rules, alters the course and pace of the story, capturing the reader's attention and allowing the senses to sharpen with each page. His fiction remains so vital and engaged, so devoid of pity and convention, so hostile to sentimentality, that it marks, in time and space, the inability of these characters to connect with those they love.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175452557564,"sku":"9788501080592","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/9a45dc8bf26fb82ecd7a3e98f1ffee9d_dc69e4cf-d526-436f-b85f-487415374c44.jpg?v=1778312858"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/edna-brien.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
