Sinopsis

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.

    The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

    Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews
