This story has a long history: it begins in Europe with his ancestors, passes through a small rural town and its observatory, a democratic criminal cooperative and a torrid passion in Paris, presents a labyrinthine residence in the depths of Australia, and culminates in the Thai jungles. But it is the characters' experiences that spice up the novel. Prisons, schools, mental hospitals, orphanages: nothing escapes the hilarious intellectual dissection carried out as a sport by father and son, whose projects to change the world always go awry in the most spectacular ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175677182204,"sku":"9788501087423","price":109.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/cceb95b3f7a1477d1a48dac2cec8fc24_fc771ab3-b919-4586-ab79-c385a3f96c4d.jpg?v=1778323614"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/steve-toltz.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
