Super-man, Non-man, Carol and The Invisibles - Novel -

Marcos is an architect who, as a student, used to write phrases on the walls of his room such as A man must carry his own suitcase and make his own bed. He lives in São Paulo, in the same building as another Marcos, who is a famous actor. They also have Carol's presence in common. Psychologist, she is married to Marcos architect and is the best friend of Marcos actor, with whom she shared an intense adolescence. Early in the evening, the two Marcos confide to a tired Carol about discoveries they had made. One tells her that he has superpowers, is a superman, sure that he started to crystallize after he threw his arm towards a toothbrush holder and saw him fall, without however touching him. The husband, discouraged, defines himself as a non-man, not yet very clear about what that means.

In parallel, five excellent high school students who live in poor neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro steal copper wires underground in the city. They call themselves the Invisibles and slide on their skateboards, slang, anger and dreams through the city streets.

Such disparate everyday experiences lived in metropolises. The reality and virtual reality of a video game with its impossible to defeat avatar. The memory of events in distant India, which are not known whether invented or real, but lived in any way. The airports and hotel rooms without identity that are the same in all parts of the planet. With contemporary elements, which define and are defined by this complex, contradictory, powerful and fragile man of the century XXI, the book covers three days that will mark the life of each character. Their ideas of being in this world full of walls and phrases and toothbrush holders will be profoundly modified.
