{"product_id":"um-toque-na-estrela","title":"A touch of the star","description":"After 10 years of silence, the tireless voice of French feminism returns to fiction. One of the most important women's rights activists, Benoîte Groult crafts a delicate eulogy to maturity. In a sensitive and disturbing book, she unleashes her lucidity against the phobia of old age, a torment for both men and women, and defends the passage of time as a conquest of experience, not a loss of youth. \"Old age is the loneliest of navigations,\" she reveals. In this desert lies the placid strength of a woman who lived her dreams. Benoîte seeks to give a personal account of her experiences. She rambles, discusses, and narrates, with impetus, compassion, and often good humor, the story of Marion, her mother Alice, and Moira, the Greek goddess of fate and the inexorable. Through this mythical figure who observes, condemns, judges, and sometimes intervenes in the lives of other characters, the author invites the reader to reflect alongside her, to question and contemplate the world. Benoîte opens our minds. We are her imaginary friends: accomplices and companions in reflections on death, love, women, the complexity of human relationships, and the power of passion. Here we find her unwavering love for the sea, her confidence in the feminine, and the search for marital balance—recurring themes in her work. She dissects three generations of women to renew their passions and wonders, in magnificent pages about the bonds that unite women: mothers, daughters, and sisters. A review of a journey dedicated to freedom, A TOUCH ON THE STAR doesn't hide the dangers or the demands that accompany it. It doesn't propose simple arguments, it doesn't offer ready-made answers. It reveals the honesty and courage of its author. It delves, indeed, into the mysteries of existence. Mysteries like reaching the final destination with the strange sensation that we've learned a little more about ourselves.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159462822140,"sku":"9788501079121","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/314aa3211a872fc320e7a57bb6f4f191.jpg?v=1778321969","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/um-toque-na-estrela","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
