Quote by Ângela Broilo

“Durante uma festa, um pintor assiste a cena: uma mulher cai do segundo andar e o corpo aterrissa sobre as estacas que compõem uma escultura. Assim começa o romance. Entre o mundo sofisticado do arquiteto Antoine e as experiências científicas da Atrys Laboratório do Brasil, a narrativa conduz a sensações extremas e a um desfecho inesperado.”

It is the same in life; the heart changes, and it is our worst sorrow; but we know it only through reading, through our imagination: in reality its alteration, like that of certain natural phenomena, is so gradual that, even if we are able to distinguish, successively, each of its different states, we are still spared the actual sensation of change.”
