Boekbeschrijving Een Giftig Hart Een buitengewoon liefdespaar in het Frankrijk van 1788 Het verhaal speelt zich af in de zomer…
van 1788, in het de op de proef gestelde Frankrijk van voor de Franse Revolutie. Men is in afwachting van de dag waarop de Staten-Generaal bijeen zullen komen, voorafgaand aan de bestorming van de Bastille. Hoofdpersonen zijn Eufrasia, dochter van graaf Xavier des Fleuves - een trots lid van de fysiocratische aanhangers van de Verandering - en Venanzio, een huurmoordenaar met een twijfelachtig verleden. Na het mislukte huwelijk van het meisje ontmoeten de twee elkaar en ontstaat een hechte band tussen hen. Zij leggen hun zielen schaamteloos bloot en zijn tot alles bereid om op te komen voor zichzelf, over de ruggen van anderen. Eufrasia's verzoek om haar eigen moord te ensceneren om niet het klooster in te hoeven, en de uitvoering van deze dienst door de bandiet, geeft elk van een hen een nieuwe identiteit. Zij houden zich schuil tegen de duistere achtergrond van het roerige Frankrijk, dat gebukt gaat onder de onophoudelijke sneeuwval van de winter van 1788. Op dit punt speelt het verhaal zich af tussen Nanterre, een gehucht in de buurt van Versailles, en Bretagne, de geboortegrond van de hoofdpersonen. Eufrasia wordt de Weduwe, een vrouw die zich altijd schuilhoudt, strijdbaar tot het uiterste, een behendig gokster en smokkelaarster die de opkomende revolutie van wapens voorziet. Venanzio geeft zich uit voor graaf Stolfo Rues, uit een niet-bestaand geslacht. Een serie toevalligheden brengt hen opnieuw bij elkaar, waarbij de liefde tussen hen langzaam opbloeit in de wederzijdse angst om afgewezen te worden. Maar belofte maakt schuld en....Le Poison du Coeur

Etats Généraux qui précèderont la prise de la Bastille. Les protagonistes sont Euphrasie, fille du comte Xavier des Fleuves faisant partie des physiocrates partisans du changement, et Venance, un tueur à gages au passé trouble. Suite au mariage raté de la jeune femme, les deux se rencontrent et un solide lien se crée entre eux et connaitra d'inquiétantes péripéties qui révéleront leurs âmes sans scrupules et prêtes à tout au détriment des autres. La demande d'Euphrasie de mettre en scène son propre meurtre pour échapper au couvent et l'exécution de ce service par le bandit pousseront les deux protagonistes à changer d'identité et à se cacher dans cette France en ébullition, à genou et sous la neige incessante de l'hiver 1788. L'histoire s'articule entre Nanterre, petit bourg proche de Versailles et le Bretagne terrre d'origine des protagonistes. Euphrasie devient la Veuve, une femme toujours cachée derrière le deuil, habile joueuse de hasard et contrebandière d'arme pour la Révolution imminente. Venance se fait passer pour le duc Stolfo Rues d'une lignée inconnue. Une série de coïncidences les font se rencontrer de nouveau, tandis que leur amour se révèle lentement malgré une peur et un refus mutuels.

By Antonio Carlos Mongiardim Gomes Saraiva. 2018
Este libro es un relato (narrativa) y busca ser una reflexión, sobre realidades y situaciones que el autor observó en…
un cortísimo periodo de tiempo en el que vivió en una comunidad (luz) en Minas Gerais/Brasil, de valores y prácticas sociales muy diferentes del escenario común. Por tratarse de un enfoque personal, subjetivo y limitado, su contenido es aquello que el observador consiguió registrar, con extractos en los que participa y es parte integrante de rituales, ceremonias y liturgias con un determinado propósito. Por eso, el libro está lejos de trazar caminos, mostrar resoluciones, dar respuestas y mucho menos tiene la pretensión de hallarse encima del bien o del mal. Tierras de la hermandad es también sentimiento, aprensión y angustia, provocación, en un ambiente en el que el autor es constantemente puesto a prueba y conoce otras formas de conocimiento y elevación. Independientemente de las ideas y opiniones de cada uno, en el libro es posible percibir cuanta seriedad y enfoque existe en esas prácticas, al ser realizadas de una forma atenta y teniendo siempre en cuenta la preservación y la valorización de las especies. En Tierras de la Hermandad, el autor pasa por un periodo muy difícil en el que siente la necesidad de encontrar (construir) un eje de vida para poder encontrarse, ya que atraviesa graves problemas familiares que lo limitan y al mismo tiempo lo alientan. Eso hace que su relato oscile entre situaciones de gran tensión, melancolía y frustración, y otros de júbilo, alegría y contemplación ante la vida, a medida que la acción va transcurriendo y caminando hacia su cumbre. Más que una aventura inusitada, de carácter espiritual y religioso, Tierras de la Hermandad es también un granero de personas y comportamientos que interactúan en un ambiente riguroso, difícil, pero religiosamente prometedor.
