Desire

Journalist and professor Clóvis de Barros Filho dedicates himself to the topic of human desires, engaging with authors, thinkers, and musicians from the past and present. If there is life, there will be some kind of desire. It is with this certainty that Clóvis de Barros Filho takes the reader on a profound journey of reflection on human longings. In his new book, the professor delves into this theme that moves many thinkers, from philosophers like Nietzsche to the poet Hilda Hilst, including music, cinema, and much of the world's novels. In "Desire," Professor Clóvis will engage with the work of authors, composers, and filmmakers to deeply discuss desire and the denial of desire. With his unique style, the author explores instincts, attempting to scratch the surface of what we know as the driving force behind human actions.
