Lúcio Cardoso's third book, it marked a departure from his previous works. A psychological novel, this depicts a Lúcio Cardoso despairing over the inevitability of death and the need to believe in another existence, a life in another time and dimension. This Catholic approach, however, conflicted with his revulsion for Minas Gerais traditionalism. Mário de Andrade went so far as to say: \"Your book is a powerful one. I fully understood its purpose of restoring the spiritual within the materialistic romance literature we are currently producing in Brazil. God has moved again upon the face of the waters.\" *The Light in the Underground* deals with the madness that befalls a couple, Madalena and Pedro, after the arrival of their new maid, Emanuela, who is sought after by her boss and his brother-in-law, Bernardo. The arrival of Madalena's mother-in-law, Adélia, intensifies the conflicts. A plot where what matters is the feeling that reality is the darkness of an underground in which we see everything in a confused and distorted way.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175465763068,"sku":"9788520006290","price":74.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/1d0f2a0f705d5940fa8c5dfa2e564bdf_0bef1fc7-7bc5-4b51-b0c8-0d0c5deb818b.jpg?v=1778325864"},{"product_id":"dias-perdidos","title":"Lost days","description":"In Lost Days, the author doesn't solely determine the length of the plot or the fabric of the fictional space on the hidden morbidity of his characters. As can be seen, aside from the complexity of characters like Clara and Sílvio, who contrast, for example, with the linearity of Áurea and Jaques, the novel's realistic approach exposes the inner uncertainty of its characters and brings them, sometimes lyrically, closer to a context in which the outcome is predictable and the past serves as a lesson. As the reader will see, the plot of this work does not conjure up the endless nightmare that characterizes his later works. Quite the opposite: the conception of his characters, more than a delve into mystery, stems from the author's autobiographical experience, as confirmed by the memoirs of his sister, Maria Helena Cardoso. Full of clues and revealing allusions, they show us, for example, that the Jaques of this novel, with his wandering life, always open to the uncertainties of adventure, could well be a literary reconstruction of Joaquim Cardoso, the novelist's father, also a changing and visionary spirit in the trajectory of his many wanderings. Thus, the realism of his atmosphere is rather the realism of a simple and limited life, full of boredom and monotony—not that of the novel's Vila Velha, but that of Curvelo itself, where the author lived with simplicity, but also with violence and frustration.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176011251964,"sku":"9788520006306","price":94.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/ac701538f51460c3af9848f00cd118ac.jpg?v=1778319069"},{"product_id":"contos-da-ilha-e-do-continente","title":"Tales of the island and the mainland","description":"The short story was never a priority in Lúcio Cardoso's work; everyone knows that the novel has always been his great obsession, and, why not say, that of all prose writers of his generation.
