{"product_id":"o-tigre-na-sombra","title":"The tiger in the shadow","description":"\" \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne of the biggest publishing phenomena in Brazil, with more than 1.2 million copies sold, with a literary career spanning more than thirty years and a repertoire of 23 published books, Lya won over the public with her beautiful philosophical chronicles about life and its mysteries - including the surprising book of essays \u003cem\u003ePerdas \u0026amp; Ganhes\u003c\/em\u003e , from 2003, a resounding success with the public, which had rights sold to several countries and remained at the top of the bestseller lists for 113 weeks.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Tiger in the Shadow\u003c\/em\u003e , Lya remains faithful to her universe of mystery, magic, and very real human dramas that, in one way or another, touch us all. Difficult romantic and family relationships are the foundation upon which her characters walk. The struggle between life and death underlies all the other themes. The enigmatic element remains in many figures, such as the singular Grandma, whose origins are unknown and who was once a mermaid, brought to earth by the love of her sailor grandfather; the baby Cyclops; the tormented father who sleeps with a revolver under his pillow; the favorite daughter, Dahlia, who plunges into despair; the tiger who, in the shadow of a small, nonexistent forest, stalks everything; or the drowned people of the beach house called Casa do Mar, who come to the water's edge at night and speak with the main character, Dôda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eDôda is a different girl. She was born with a shorter leg, but despite her disability, she is the mistress of all mysteries: she treads paths others cannot reach, like the world within the mirrors—which, according to her, have a life of their own and observe us. Dôda records everyone's story, speaks for everyone, feels and suffers for everyone. She plays with the imaginary child of a childless woman; she is accompanied, in her dance through this dream world, by the velvet steps of a docile blue-eyed tiger; and she dialogues with her alter ego, or her twin within the mirrors, Dolores, who in many ways is what she wishes she were. The world of the mirror is a place of freedom and poetry. The real opposite is disappointment, tragedy, rupture, an inevitable path in the search for identity for Dôda, the girl who becomes a woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In \u003cem\u003eThe Tiger in the Shadow\u003c\/em\u003e , everything is surprising, but the ending is even more surprising. And we are, as always, enchanted and entangled in Lya Luft's fiction, which becomes more refined and captivating with each book.\u003c\/p\u003e \"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159308091644,"sku":"9788501400963","price":49.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/00cd0029da5274e3fcce41d32226ea40.jpg?v=1778325596","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-tigre-na-sombra","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
