Fim
Fim | Fernanda Torres
10 posts | 6 read | 29 to read
O pblico brasileiro acostumou-se a ver Fernanda Torres no cinema, no teatro ou na televiso. Em filmes premiados, novelas ou sries globais, ela se firmou como uma das mais versteis atrizes brasileiras, capaz de atuar num arco dramtico que vai da comdia escrachada ao denso drama psicolgico. Em anos recentes, Fernanda comeou a atuar na imprensa, em colunas no jornal Folha de S. Paulo, na Veja Rio e em colaboraes para a revista piau. Com Fim, seu primeiro romance, ela consolida sua transio para o universo das letras e mostra que nesse mbito uma artista to completa quanto no palco ou diante das cmeras. O livro focaliza a histria de um grupo de cinco amigos cariocas. Eles rememoram as passagens marcantes de suas vidas: festas, casamentos, separaes, manias, inibies, arrependimentos. lvaro vive sozinho, passa o tempo de mdico em mdico e no suporta a ex-mulher. Slvio um junkie que no larga os excessos de droga e sexo nem na velhice. Ribeiro um rato de praia atltico que ganhou sobrevida sexual com o Viagra. Neto o careta da turma, marido fiel at os ltimos dias. E Ciro, o Don Juan invejado por todos mas o primeiro a morrer, abatido por um cncer. So figuras muito diferentes, mas que partilham no apenas o fato de estar no extremo da vida, como tambm a limitao de horizontes. Sucesso na carreira, realizao pessoal e serenidade esto fora de questo ningum parece ser capaz de colher, no fim das contas, mais do que um inventrio de frustraes. Ao redor deles pairam mulheres neurticas, amargas, sedutoras, desencanadas, descartadas, conformadas. Paira tambm um padre em crise com a prpria vocao e um squito de tipos cariocas frutos da arguta capacidade de observao da autora. H graa, sexo, sol e praia nas pginas de Fim. Mas elas tambm so cheias de resignao e cobertas por uma tinta de melancolia.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story of old men in Rio reflecting on their friendships and approaching deaths. It‘s narrated by each in turn (with some events repeated). Alvaro is a misanthrope who hates women (but says he hates men too) - this put me off at first but then I just enjoyed her style & humour. Slightly repetitive but the men feel real, if larger than life, & thought-provoking re age & mortality. Also, gorgeous cover & small book. Love!

Let the cover of this book talk you into picking it up. You will certainly not be disappointed. A story of a group of friends that starts with their deaths and works through the group. Extremely interesting look into friendships, relationships and life in general. Another great one set in Brazil!

Matilda @Cinfhen right?! I love it so much. And it reminded me of photos I'd seen of my parents when they were kids. Plus, there's a few pics of me getting chucked as a little kid at the beach that I love. 7y
