Ao Entardecer (Contos Varios) by Visconde de Alfredo d'Escragnolle Taunay Taunay
"Ao Entardecer (Contos Varios)" by Visconde de Alfredo d'Escragnolle Taunay is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The narratives intertwine themes of illness, familial struggles, and social commentary, offering a reflective look at human emotions and connections. Central to the opening story is a young boy named Alberto, whose delicate health and indomitable spirit set the stage for a poignant exploration of love, hope, and despair inthe face of mortality. The opening of the story introduces us to Alberto, a sickly child traveling with his family from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro. As they journey by train, the narrative reveals Alberto's struggle with a severe illness, which permeates conversations with his concerned parents and caregivers. The boy attempts to maintain a cheerful disposition, finding joy in small observations about the world outside, despite his suffering. His resilience and desire for knowledge shine through in his musings, as he expresses a longing to travel and learn. Amidst the parents’ turmoil over their child's precarious health, we see their love and desperation unfold, making it clear that the boy’s fate looms large over the family’s journey.
