Outrora: Contos Distópicos

by Paola Giometti (Organizator), Alexandre C.L. Magalhães, Esther Lya Livonius

O sonho de um mundo ideal não existe mais. Outrora, instaurou-se o caos, desencadeado pela ignorância e pelo mau comportamento humano. O totalitarismo oprime as massas, vigia seus atos e as pune sem misericórdia. Nesse universo distópico, habitam políticos amorais que, explorando a estupidez coletiva, guiam a sociedade à falência de uma história digna e ao abandono da esperança.
Neste livro, contos de mundos sem cores, sem vida, sem lucidez, farão o leitor refletir sobre a sociedade em que vivemos. Depois de ler OUTRORA, você se dará conta de que sua vida simples e cotidiana é uma dádiva almejada por muitos, mas conquistada por poucos.

Reviews

[André · Rating 3 out of 5]

É muito difícil eu me interessar por distopias, e este livro contém vários contos que simplesmente eu não saberia classificar, e não me identifiquei mesmo. Porém, há alguns que me tocaram de alguma forma: "Aurora", de Alexandre C.L. Magalhães, "Projeto Alado", de Daniel Constantini, "O anjo de lata", de Hugo Sales, "Morte?", de Calebe Mendes, "Ambuletis", de Idayana Bochardt, "Catarse", de Sarah Marqués, "Tempore", de M.P. Grino (que tem a ideia similar ao "Morte?", apesar de desenvolvimento diverso), "A sociedade por trás de uma cavidade", de Paola Giometti, "Unificados", de Dennis Michel, "Não deixai a esperança esvair", de Kayo Pagotto e "Sob a terra", de Bruna Giroldo.
