IG @prefacioleitor reviewed my book & #8220; O Silêncio dos Livros & #8221 ;.
…
The work is built in three parts, the first and third narrated by sweet Alice, and the second by Hilário. In the parts narrated by Alice we see a world (in the future) in which books are prohibited. No one can have any printed book, or digital file that cannot be modified by the reader. All literary production is subject to the wishes of each one. If I don't like it, I modify it to my taste. People no longer want to be upset. But at the same time, they do not want to be responsible for their own choices, using electronic programs that make the choice.
Relationships are superficial, driven by interest. In this empty world, where even babies can be programmed to be like their parents wish, Alice is born. A work of chance, not programmed by her family, and ignored by her. A sweet and quesrionadora girl, who wants to be known. Aline provokes us to reflect, is always giving a new look to things. She misses her grandmother and uncle, who told her stories.
Until the arrival of Santiago, her Grandfather of Letters, and in whom she finds some of what her family is unable to offer. In the second part, we met Hilário, and her life story, hard, suffered, wronged (?). Arrested for being accused of killing a boy, he swears he did what he did to defend his friends. Luckily, when they discover that he does not carry the C-gene, he is trapped in Babel, until they can prove that he has some variation of the gene. There, he meets Antônio, and from that meeting, he has his life transformed, and in the future linked to that of Alice.
All the metalanguage involved me, it left me a little disturbed too. After all, more and more we have persecuted and censored books and thinking minds. The dystopia created by Fausto seems to us closer every day (as well as so many others, unfortunately). With a surprising and shocking ending, the book entered my list of favorites, and this rereading was even more special & #x1f496;
