{"product_id":"filandras","title":"Filandras","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFilandras\u003c\/em\u003e marks the debut of Minas Gerais writer Adélia Prado at Editora Record, who returns to recurring themes in her literature: provincial life, religiosity, the colors of the countryside, in a reflection of her own experience.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eA collection of short stories dealing with love, desires, frustrations, and dreams. \u003cem\u003eFilandras\u003c\/em\u003e , her first new work since 1996, reveals a seductive and subtle storyteller behind the acclaimed poet Adélia. According to dictionaries, Filandras are, among other definitions, \"long, thin threads\" and \"flakes that flutter through the air and cover vegetables.\" Adélia's stories in this book are truly filandras—delicate, fluttering threads. When we reach them, they dissolve like dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe book's 43 stories can certainly be read individually. But they take on a new dimension when you begin to weave the threads together, the small details revealed in each one allowing you to construct the lives of its characters. The characters in \u003cem\u003eFilandras\u003c\/em\u003e —simple country women and their everyday lives—gradually reveal a strong personality, even when submissive. All the stories feature women as their main characters. And what women: the absent-minded Olinda; the rational Célia; the seductive Calixtinha; the insecure Ester. Carolas, in crisis; Amélias, devoted and passionate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOn second glance, Adélia's women are all the women of the world. Full of nuances and phases (like the moon). In Analysis, for example, the protagonist declares: \"A woman's nature is to obey, to admire, to serve, the nature of an ant, a worker bee, and a cat in the mud, otherwise, my God, there's no room for her to become Cinderella.\" Like the women, a sense of religiosity is present in many of the book's stories, portraying part of the reality of life in rural Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In a deeply personal narrative, \u003cem\u003eFilandras\u003c\/em\u003e deals with love, desire, things and people to conquer, and those left behind—lost, abandoned, forgotten. A winding journey through the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175632421116,"sku":"9788501062727","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/be042c7b13cf0d3345cb8359ec46352a.jpg?v=1778325973","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/filandras","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
