Men who talks with stars
by João Torcato Justa
Description
In this novel by John Torcato Justa, a narrator witnesses the history of their ancestry through the protagonist, mother and best friend uncle, recreating a line of magical time crossing the border of Alto Alentejo and reaches the neighboring plain Extremadura, in Spain. Anthony, known in the small Alentejo village by Lobo, is an adventurous young bohemian, fearless and womanizer. The day that your heart is taken away by the unmistakable beauty of the Spanish Soledad, wife of one of the most powerful men in Spain, marks the beginning of a journey defined by Destiny, the Stars and the courage of men and women who make miracles. As background, a rural Alentejo marked by the customs of a Portugal, in the times of Salazar, and the neighboring Spanish province of Extremadura, in a terrible process of healing wounds of the Civil War. John, a participant narrator, invites us to the family memories that turned his family and region, revealing the amazing dramatic density of his characters and an unconventional plot affective links and metaphysical touch with reality.
