Em Teu Ventre by José Luís Peixoto
A História de Maria
Set against the backdrop of the small Portuguese village of Cova da Iria in 1917, the narrative delves into the mystical and transformative experiences of three young shepherd children who claim to have witnessed apparitions of the Virgin Mary. The story intricately weaves the children's profound spiritual encounters with the skepticism and challenges posed by the local community and the church, exploring themes of faith, doubt, and the power of belief. Through poetic and evocative prose, the tale captures the tension between the divine and the earthly, offering a poignant reflection on the nature of miracles and the human spirit.
