Antologia: Meus Contos Preferidos

Rate this book
Os sentimentos, matéria-prima da literatura, se negam a ser expostos friamente, escorregando por entre análises e conceitos definidos, absolutamente incapazes de dar conta desta coisa inexplicável que somos nós. Os contos reunidos neste livro nos emocionam de modo contundente e profundo pois, ao invés de abordar os sentimentos de forma racional e limitadora, vasculham as entranhas da alma e suscitam verdadeiras experiências com o amor, a angústia, a saudade, a culpa, o medo e a fé. Sutis como os felinos que chegam de mansinho e acabam senhores do ambiente, estas histórias envolvem completamente o leitor, levando-o a se identificar com cada personagem, obrigando-o a vivenciar cada desejo, cada alegria, e a sofrer com cada desilusão.
O que difere esta antologia dos demais livros publicados pela autora, tornando-a especial, é o fato de ela não se resumir a uma seleção seguindo um critério temático ou temporal. Os textos foram escolhidos pela própria Lygia Fagundes Telles. São seus contos preferidos. É, portanto, não só sua arte, como o seu gosto que ela convida o leitor a partilhar.
