Nélida's voice rose firmly against censorship, and simultaneously, her imagination soared with an even more powerful flight to write another great book, \u003cem\u003eTebas do Mi Corazón (Thebes of My Heart\u003c\/em\u003e ), in which the writer identifies the struggle against dictatorship, more than against oppression, as a struggle against fatality, routine, lack of imagination, ignorance, and the uncontrollable design of things.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe result of intense literary craftsmanship—seven manuscripts were produced before the final version— \u003cem\u003eTebas do meu coração\u003c\/em\u003e also uses Nélida's sharp wit to critique Brazilian society.

One wouldn't destroy a lifetime's worth of wealth in a few hours with an axe.
