Novos contos by Bento Moreno

It delves into themes of illness, love, longing, and the complexities of human relationships, revealing the emotional nuances of its characters. The opening of the collection introduces a narrator who reflects on his experiencesduring a severe illness at a young age, detailing his physical and psychological turmoil as he confronts the reality of life and death. He vividly recounts the agony of his fever and the subsequent slow return to health, portraying a struggle not only for physical recovery but for a deeper understanding of existence itself. As he begins to regain his normal sensations and desires, he experiences a profound appreciation for life, contrasted with a visceral fear of mortality.
