Sinopse

The definitive edition of one of the author's major novels, *The Eternal Son*. J. Matozo is a mysterious Portuguese teacher in a small town in Paraná. In the solitude of his small room on the second floor of a two-story house, he spends his free time on the one thing that can lift him—or at least distinguish him—from the surrounding mediocrity: Matozo writes a book. Matozo's aspiration will lead him to face the difficult choice between nurturing the dream of becoming a recognized writer and maintaining his comfortable position in local society. Published in 1991, *The Softness of the Wind* is a shrewd literary recreation of a society of rules and petty pretensions, balancing the realist tradition of a strand of Brazilian literature with the fantasy elements of a moral fable. Written with the narrative confidence characteristic of Cristovão Tezza's prose, this novel represents an important moment in the construction of one of the most consistent works of contemporary Brazilian literature.
