Each volume presents two fictional stories, written by novelist Flávio Braga—one set in the present day and the other at a different point in history. Based on each story, psychoanalyst and sexologist Regina Navarro Lins conducts an in-depth analysis of the issues addressed. \"We sought to choose themes of love and sex that are directly linked to people's daily lives. Almost everyone spends a significant amount of time thinking about their desires, fears, and guilt,\" explains the author. Controversial and original, the collection offers new perspectives on romantic and sexual relationships and assesses the evolution and trends of relationships. \"The result is the opportunity to observe our behavior over time, with the intimacy that literature allows,\" says Flávio. Does jealousy manifest itself in the same way and with the same intensity? More financially independent, are women less emotionally dependent? And how do men react to separation? \"Separation,\" the second volume in the collection, addresses the end of a marriage. Regina and Flávio show how values and attitudes regarding a couple's separation transformed. The first story takes place in Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s. The character Sílvia Maria, a young wife in 1958, sees her desire for separation met with relentless opposition from her husband and society, to the point of forcing her to give up on the idea. Juliana's same desire, today, has a different outcome. Financially independent, she refuses to accept her husband's sexual disinterest and decides that separation is the only way out for them. The stories cover moments before and after the sexual revolution: \"There was widespread conformity. However, recently, people's willingness to make sacrifices has been greatly diminishing. Most seek to develop their possibilities and individuality to the fullest, avoiding shaky relationships,\" believes Regina.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159487725820,"sku":"9788576841876","price":39.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/a13eba9d022233a7462cbb76dcb64390.jpg?v=1779851957"},{"product_id":"sob-masoch","title":"Under Masoch","description":"In this book, Flávio Braga revisits the idea of creating a modern narrative based on classics of universal erotic literature.

After a few glasses of wine and a kiss, Wanda strikes Severin in the face, and he thanks her for her gesture.

Considered a cursed book, The 120 Days of Sodom reveals an orgy, timed as stipulated by the title, in which the elite of the nobility, clergy, and armed forces indulge in the most unbridled debauchery. Based on this narrative, Flávio Braga gives voice, in Sade in Sodom, to two characters who witnessed everything that happened on that occasion: the man responsible for security at the \"event\" and a madam hired to recount her professional memories.

The Ceded Look is a reality check (in a good way). And very, extremely well-informed.\" — Paulo Bentancur In his new novel, The Ceded Look, writer, playwright, and screenwriter Flávio Braga presents a surprising critique of the current media power and a lamentable portrait of the intellectual condition of Brazilians, who daily immerse themselves in front of the television, breaking world audience records. The duel between two TV shows fighting for viewership reveals the myths that control Brazilian mass society. Fredo Bastos is a host and producer of popular programs in search of a new, highly successful reality show. He accumulates powers that make him both desirable and fearsome, and he spares no effort to keep his program, RioSampa Show, in first place in the ratings. The arc of influences he builds with success spans a spectrum from extreme luxury to organized crime. \"Fredo is full of qualities and vices. He's the product of a society based on competition,\" explains the author. Through his protagonist's story, Flavio Braga uses a fast-paced and fluid narrative to expose the frivolity and sordidness of this perverse reality where entertainment functions, according to the interests of a few, like the opium of the people. The suspenseful nature of the text doesn't stifle its approach to real politics, culture, and the everyday world of ideas. The various sectors covered by the media, and transformed by it, are represented in the book with vivacity and verisimilitude. Beyond its entertaining characteristics, \"The Cinched Eye\" makes us reflect on prestige and arrogance built on nothing.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175039222012,"sku":"9788501082138","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"enquanto-petronio-morre","title":"WHILE PETRONIUS DIES","description":"Volume 3 of the Placere Collection.
