With a captivating story full of surprises, Sebastian Barry's The Secret Writings arrives in Brazil after attracting the attention of literary critics, winning the Costa Book Prize, and being a finalist for the Man Booker Prize, two of the most important literary awards. Roseanne McNulty is an elderly woman who has lived in a nursing home for almost sixty years. Dr. Green, the psychiatrist in charge of the institution for decades, needs to complete some cases and determine which patients can be released before the government demolishes the building where it operates. While studying Rose's case, the doctor discovers he doesn't know her origins or why she ended up there. How can he clarify this? Asking the frail, 100-year-old patient and admitting her neglect doesn't seem like a good idea. The book is narrated by two voices: Roseanne, who writes in her diary in an attempt to remember her story; and Dr. Green, who in his notes recounts his own life and his search for information about the patient. The narrative structure is one of the aspects that makes the work enchanting. The protagonist's story is told through various perspectives, never knowing who to believe: the elderly woman with a failing memory, or the witnesses the doctor encounters in his research. Another very interesting point is that Rose, when recounting her memories, from the time she lived with her father behind a cemetery to the present day, seems to be writing to a special person. The reader will constantly ask themselves: \"Is this for me?\" Meanwhile, the other protagonist, constantly trying to atone for his guilt and sins. The secret writings demonstrate how difficult it is for people to be certain of what happened, of their story. Sebastian Barry shows that there is no single, irrevocable truth, and, more often than not, versions depend on external factors beyond one's control. A well-written book that reserves readers a stunning ending, making them reflect: Will we always be certain of what we experience? \"Mesmerizing [...]. Barry's prose is vivid, fresh, and extremely moving.\" (The Observer) “Powerful and memorable. Sebastian Barry is at the forefront of contemporary Irish fiction.” (The Financial Times) “The story’s charm lies in the gradual merging of the two narratives and the two lives.” (The Economist) “I finished the book in a single day. I couldn’t put it down.” (John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas)","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175908622588,"sku":"9788528615562","price":99.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/5a6104a8e7367b78c38d8cba0501e3a8_7169500c-e2a4-4d7c-8209-4c80b509af5a.jpg?v=1778314720"},{"product_id":"um-longo-longo-caminho","title":"A long long way","description":"INNOCENCE AND ORDEAL IN WORLD WAR I, WRITTEN WITH POETIC GRACE. Against the backdrop of one of the most important and painful chapters in human history, World War I, Barry created a stark novel about human maturation through death, hunger, cold, and, above all, fear of the unknown. The combatants portrayed in the book, like millions of others, knew virtually nothing about the conflict. The protagonist, Willie Dune, for example, knew nothing. Unlike most works on the subject, A Long, Long Way offers the unique perspective of the Irish, who were fighting for their independence—if they helped England, they would be free. As one of the captains described it: \"You are fighting to obtain a sure and indisputable certificate of Ireland's freedom and of her existence as an independent, proud, and loyal nation.\" Written in Sebastian Barry's beautiful, characteristic prose, A Long Long Way evokes the camaraderie and humor of Willie and his regiment, the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, but also the cruelty and sadness of war, and the divided loyalties many Irish soldiers felt. \"A deeply moving story of courage and fidelity.\" (J.M. Coetzee)","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176958869756,"sku":"9788528619638","price":74.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/90af2921247097f40968309bd7d03fe8.jpg?v=1778311975"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/sebastian-barry.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
