Book, Anguish[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. "One of the most important Brazilian novels of the 1930s. Originally released in 1936 and presented here in a new graphic project, Angústia has as its protagonist Luís Silva, a public servant from Maceió who leads a mediocre life without great emotions until the day he falls in love with Marina. At first, the young woman shows some interest in the relationship and in the material comfort that marriage could provide her, but soon ends up leaving her fiancé for Julião Tavares, richer and more powerful. Overcome by jealousy and resentment, Silva is disturbed by the events that unfold and begins to follow Marina's life as she dreams of killing Julião. Written in the first person, the novel has a non-linear temporal structure, following the stream of consciousness of the narrator-character and bringing the reader closer to the feelings awakened by the conflicts lived by Luís Silva."
