Delivery of Feelings - by Gabriel Chalita

SYNOPSIS

The book brings together texts in which Gabriel Chalita casts his sensitive and poetic gaze on everyday issues. Day after day, we know of someone who leaves, of a love that returns, of a disappointment that arrives, of an illness overcome. Young or old, rich or poor, men or women, we are the protagonists of the chronicles gathered here. Yes, protagonists, because with Gabriel Chalita we discover, in stories that are not ours, the residues, or the indexes, of what we have already experienced or could, one day, experience.

In the book O Entregador de Sentimentos, Chalita brings together dozens of texts that break the border between reality and fiction, between stories and literature. Get ready to learn from a great master in this greatest of schools: life. The common denominator that unites us with real characters reworked by Gabriel Chalita's writing is the humanity we share. It is the unavoidable condition, the territory that brings us closer to people like the boy Eduardo, who remains strong, even fighting cancer, in order to protect his mother; of Mr. João, who at every age chases away the sadness and longing for the past with stories told to children; or even a simple postman, the Deliverer of feelings who gives the title to this volume: passionate about his own job, he knows that time, precious, must be "preserved for what unites us", and that it is essential, to live well, listen with patience and attention to "the long song of thought".

There are many lessons contained here, and each of the characters in these chronicles is a teacher who teaches us to look at others and listen to their stories as if they were our own, with the attention of someone observing themselves in the mirror as they start the day. .
