Beschreibung

Alma Welt, a poet and painter with a deep soul and indomitable spirit, returns after years of absence to her homeland in the Brazilian Pampas after receiving news from her brother Rôdo that the family estate will soon be put up for sale. Driven by a deep connection to her native home, Alma embarks on what is also, and above all, an inner journey. An indomitable soul with a rebellious spirit, a profound lover of art in all its aspects, in each chapter Alma, starting from the present situation, retraces salient moments of her past: the deep bond with her father, her disagreements with her mother who never fully understood her profound being and her free nature, her brotherly love with Rôdo and her disagreements with her sister Solange. Throughout the narrative, the profound suffering that has accompanied her for most of her life but also, and above all, the sense of freedom and depth, the profound way in which she feels each and every emotion, is evident. 
Will Alma, with the help of her beloved Aline, succeed in saving the family estate?

Alma Welt (1972-2007) was poet and prolific prose writer, a young, beautiful and mysterious woman who did not allow herself to be photographed, only allowing her portraits to be published in drawings, engravings and oil paintings by Guilherme de Faria, her authorized portraitist, a painter from São Paulo who illustrated, prefaced, and edited her, launching her into the artistic world of São Paulo from 2001 onwards, when he discovered her in his self-exile in Paulicéia, in her painting studio in a residential apartment in Jardins. The remarkable circumstances of this providential meeting were narrated by her in her short story entitled “Anagramas” (found on Google search).
Alma committed suicide at the age of 35 by drowning, in her Pampian resort, at the height of her talent and beauty. However, the circumstances of her death remain controversial. Alma has become a cult author on the Internet since 2006 thanks to the dedication of her sister Lucia Welt, who manages the Poet’s immense literary estate: there are around five thousand sonnets alone and they are published on the Internet in around 60 blogs divided by thematic genres. 
As a natural narrator, Alma has a lot to say, a lot to tell and she does it in an engaging and charming way.
