Book Description
Book description: After seven years writing for blogs and for anthologies, the author has gathered in this book his best-rated short stories and chronicles. They touch on diverse themes, ranging from the children's universe to the daily lives of adults. Although the author is a military police officer, he avoided as much as possible dealing with themes such as insecurity and violence, although one or another text touches lightly on these subjects, but always bringing nuances of hope, friendship and joy. Many of the stories takes back to a grandfather telling stories to his grandchildren, as they would do in the old times. The literary tenderness of the author guarantees that his direct prose with no flourishes can convey to us the emotions and feelings of its protagonists. Amongst them, these ones stand out: The rattlesnake at the Gabiroba tree (2012 "Best Storyteller" Interarte Award – Goiás Velho Letter Academy) Survivors of the end of the World (Winner of the XXXV International Literary Contest of Edições AG publishing company) The Boa's Breath (Participation Prize on the Great Contest of the Rio de Janeiro City, at the Taba Cultural publishing company)
