1. Catatau
com a cabeça de Descartes
Set against the backdrop of colonial Brazil, this avant-garde narrative explores the philosophical musings of René Descartes as he embarks on a surreal journey through the tropical landscape. The story unfolds in a stream-of-consciousness style, blending historical elements with fictional encounters, as Descartes grapples with the clash of European rationalism and the vibrant chaos of the New World. Through a series of fragmented thoughts and vivid imagery, the novel challenges conventional storytelling, inviting readers to ponder the nature of reality and the limits of human understanding.
