Sinopse

THE MOST MATURE AND LONG-AWAITED NOVEL BY CRISTOVÃO TEZZA. Professor Heliseu will be honored for an exemplary career at the university to which he dedicated most of his life. While preparing his acceptance speech—he, of all people, so accustomed to turning thorny topics into powerful lectures—he is overcome by an uncontrollable succession of memories and revisits not always happy moments in his life: living with his strict father; his mother's death; his time in seminary; his marriage to Mônica; his turbulent relationship with his son; his passion for the mysterious Thérèze. These memories intersect with the history of Brazil, from the military regime to the most recent governments, and Heliseu's reckoning with his past also becomes a country's reckoning with its history. Here, he achieves the feat of combining complete mastery of narrative resources with a compelling plot that leaves no loose ends, intriguing the reader until the very end. With the release of the memorable The Eternal Son, Cristovão Tezza became one of the most celebrated Brazilian authors. And The Professor is a novel destined to also be linked to the name of its creator: Cristovão Tezza, author of The Professor. • The Professor is Cristovão Tezza's first novel since 2010's An Emotional Error. Since then, Tezza has published the collection of short stories Beatriz, the literary essay The Spirit of Prose, and the selection of chronicles A Worker on Vacation.
