Sinopse

THE PHASES OF LIFE IN THE VIEW OF ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S GREATEST WRITERS Lya Luft has released a powerful book that makes the reader reflect on our most precious commodity: time. The power and beauty of the text are immediately revealed in the title. Time is a river that flows uninterruptedly; after all, from source to mouth, no mouth can stop the river and its natural course. Always raging, torrential, but never still. If the title alone inspires so much reflection, it is certain that this reading has the power to change the lives and thoughts of many. By blending memories and reflections on the passage of time, Lya creates a poignant essay on human relationships, childhood, youth, growing up and death, and the value of life—the themes and concerns that are her specialty. The book is divided into three parts—Waters Still, Tides High, and The River's Mouth—showing how time passes at different stages of life and exploring ways to enjoy the best of each. In an era marked by a perceived lack of time, this work is an important reflection on the culture of frivolity and eternal youth in which we live.
