{"product_id":"doce-gabito","title":"Sweet gabito","description":"Screenwriter and playwright Francisco Azevedo's literary debut possesses the same elements as a good plot: literary quality and thrilling twists. Author of the plays \"Unha e Carne\" and \"A Casa de Anais Nin,\" both critical and commercial successes, he achieved with \"O arroz de Palma\" what few Brazilian fiction authors can boast: absolute reader recognition. A spontaneous word-of-mouth following resulted in emotional testimonials, a strong online presence, and over 15,000 copies sold. This culminated in negotiations with leading foreign publishers. A finalist for the São Paulo Literature Prize, the book will be published in Germany, the United States, and Italy, among other countries, in 2013. Anticipation surrounding his second novel is, of course, enormous. And Azevedo does not disappoint. With the lyrical and delicate writing that made him famous, he consolidates his style in a new story filled with love, passion, and resentment. Intimacies discovered and secrets revealed. Family conflicts, rivalries passed down from one generation to the next. Separations and emotional reunions. The strength of friendship, forgiveness. Always dream and reality. Always the unexpected. In Doce gabito, he creates a delicate plot that engages and, above all, moves. A magical novel, yet deeply rooted in Brazil's recent history. Here, he tells the fantastic story of Gabriela Garcia Marques, an imaginative and dreamy woman who struggles to resist the adversities of her tortuous destiny: the death of her parents and grandfather Gregório when she was still a girl. The difficult coexistence with her aunt Letícia, owner of a brothel in the Glória neighborhood. Her troubled adolescence. The camaraderie with the \"girls\" of the mansion. José Aureliano's passion. The painful loss of Florentino, her great love. Verônica's friendship. And, of course, the constant presence of a friendly gentleman with a bushy mustache, whom she soon discovers is the renowned Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, nicknamed Gabito. Pure fiction? It doesn't matter. This is a beautiful and moving story written from the heart of a character who, at first, admits to \"not being able to shake the habit of collecting happiness and imagining utopias that seem perfectly achievable.\"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175920877820,"sku":"9788501096449","price":84.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/ed2df7b4889a8092edf4cc404d170738.jpg?v=1778313133","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/doce-gabito","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
