A young man who mysteriously collapses midway through the journey.

He has received an invitation from a mysterious man, his tickets, and an offer of lodging, and he has embarked. In Lorde, João Gilberto Noll, with his critically acclaimed style, creates a character who wanders the streets, hospitals, and hotels, establishes fleeting relationships with strangers, and, as he says, has merely exchanged the solitude he experienced in Brazil for the solitude he experiences in England. In this book, the author masterfully exposes the ramblings of a subject who experiences the unknown in order to discover himself. • João Gilberto Noll is the author of nineteen books and has also had works published in Argentina, England, Italy, and Israel. • The author was honored with several awards, including the Jabuti in 1981, 1994, 1997, 2004 and 2005. • “João Gilberto Noll, a lord of well-managed affliction, offers the reader another important work.” – IstoÉ","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175459209468,"sku":"9788501102355","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/ace1fbfdcc6a88d178e811ff63a63ce7.jpg?v=1778321942"},{"product_id":"harmada","title":"Harmada","description":"In Harmada, João Gilberto Noll presents a character who moves through diverse city spaces: a river, the sea, a thicket, a theater, a hotel, a homeless shelter. In these places, while interacting with diverse people, Pedro Harmada experiences a vast array of sensations. By transforming the shelter into a stage for his stories, he discovers in the audience's reaction a love for art; through the city streets, he follows the growth of a young woman who becomes a great actress. By constructing a story that is simultaneously fragmented and united by the thread of the protagonist's ramblings, Noll uses elements from the character's everyday life to mark the passage of time and uses his own language to guide the narrative.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175507738876,"sku":"9788501403896","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/6299087eee7e10fc3d4e3b5889fb2daf.jpg?v=1779765820"},{"product_id":"a-furia-do-corpo","title":"The fury of the body","description":"They're two vagrants.
