Reverse - The Final Principle Of Love

Adilcilene Ferreira

Sinopse

The detective and negotiator Douglas Fernandes is hired to track down the kidnapping of the daughter of a well-known businessman. In the middle of a journey full of ambition, deceit and abandonment, he will find himself falling in love with the victim, without even having met her.

Veronica is an independent, confident woman. However, she will be confronted with one of the most difficult moments of her life. While she is being held captive, she will begin to break the chains of the past and will discover that not everything that seemed to be is in fact. That love can chain a person, but also save her.

Encounters, misunderstandings, and revelations will be constant, and the other side of the story can make her even more valuable, or not.
The night was warm, and although she liked to use the air conditioning,
Veronica preferred the breeze that came with the wind. Sitting on the balcony, she
watched the horizon wondering how her father would be at that moment. Certainly he
was suffering and so was she for being away, but she needed to behave and accept the
rules of that situation. She didn't even know what was going on. Everything seemed
strange and unfounded to her. She had blindly trusted the detective and she was wrong
about him.
After the silence and night had taken over the whole place, Veronica returned to
her room, leaving the window open so that the breeze could come in and refresh the
room naturally. Then maybe she could fall asleep right away.
Sleep did not come at any cost and upset she got up to go to the toilet. As she got
out of bed and took her first steps, she saw something crawling past in front of her.
Although the clarity wasn't much, it was enough for her to see that it was a snake.
”Oh, My God!” - Veronica said, hurrying to the door. Her heart was beating
unsteadily and without thinking about what she was doing she ran into the corridor
forcing her eyes to see in the darkness. She didn't want to look scared in front of the
man in the next room, but her legs were shaking so much that she didn't act so proud
and went for help. When she opened the door and went inside she felt strong hands
taking her by the waist and squeezing her gently.
”What is it, Veronica?” - Douglas asked with heavy breathing.
”There's a huge snake in the room.” - she said, not realizing how close they were
to each other.
”But everything is quite locked. How could that happen?” - he stared at her
without letting go.
”I don't know what happened. The only thing I can tell you is that there is one
there.”
Douglas pulled her aside and reached for the light switch. When the light
dominated the place, Veronica noticed that he was wearing only underwear. The
adrenaline took over their bodies and Veronica didn't know whether to tremble because
of the shock or because she was standing in front of the sexy man.PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

W - A Novel

Igor Štiks

Igor Štiks’s fourth novel, mysteriously titled with only one letter, W, is his most elaborate so far — and definitely his most exciting — a feat of storytelling in which historic tragedies are woven through with humor and erotic passion. It is both a murder mystery — in which nothing is as it seems and where we don’t learn the truth until the very last page — and a reflection on a century of revolutionary struggles. In it, Štiks asks some of the crucial questions of our era: What are the lessons of past heroic struggles for a world of equality and freedom that were then followed by tremendous disappointments and tragic failures? And what can we do today in the face of contemporary planetary horrors? The novel vividly brings to life the turbulent years of the 1960s through the early 2000s with all their contradictions, disasters and hopes.“Igor Štiks’s novel W is at once a thriller and a philosophical discussion that deals with the European left from the second half of the 20th century. Štiks talks about abandoned ideas that might be important today. This book was written by a great prose stylist and philosopheractivist who irresistibly resembles the young John Berger and who asks the question — how to change the world? An important novel.” – Semezdin Mehmedinović, author of Sarajevo Blues and My HeartIgor Štiks is the author of A Castle in Romagna andThe Judgment of Richard Richter (originally published as Elijah’s Chair), which have been translated into 15 languages. He has won many prizes for his fiction and plays and was named a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture. He is also the author of Nations and Citizens in Yugoslavia and the Post-Yugoslav States: One Hundred Years of Citizenship (Bloomsbury, 2015). His essays and commentaries have appeared in The Guardian, Al Jazeera, Open Democracy and ROAR Magazine.
