Description

Written just before the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors had no idea something so tragic could happen, but they produced it as if they knew what was coming. It's not about clairvoyance. Nor is there any evidence about what awaited us on the street corners of 2020. The secret is to be honest when talking about life, which, with or without a pandemic, has its ups and downs. Joys and sadness. Moments of great intensity and so many borocoxôs. It's a passion for life as it is and not as we would like it to be. The passion for living, presented by Clóvis and Júlio, deals with life and its philosophical understanding, but in an unusual way. It tells stories of events that are sometimes banal, sometimes comical, grandiose or tragic. Real and invented stories. From authors and others who have more interesting lives and narratives. Stories provide examples and pretexts for the presentation of concepts that add a unique perspective to the narratives. Like an emotional crescendo in which the first chapters, with lighter and more banal stories, get the reader used to the rhythm of the narrative and educate their spirit for what is to come. At the end, more dramatic moments where you will find emotions that you more easily identify with and thoughts that will allow you to think about your own life and, who knows, love it with the passion it deserves.
