A hora e a vez do jumento

Abstract

Amidst the dusty paths of the Paraíba backlands, the enigmatic figure of Nhô Augusto emerges. A simple man, but with deep convictions, he finds himself faced with a dilemma: to follow the dictates of reason or to give in to the impulses of his heart. Politics, this boiling cauldron of interests and betrayals, is the backdrop for his journey. Orlando Tejo masterfully weaves a plot that transcends time and space. The reader is invited to delve between the lines, deciphering the hidden signs that permeate each dialogue, each gesture. The language, sometimes lyrical, sometimes harsh like the parched soil, reveals the soul of Paraíba and its latent conflicts. The Hour and Turn of the Donkey is more than a play; it is a mirror that reflects the yearnings, hopes and disappointments of a people. The donkey, a symbol of obstinacy and resistance, gallops through the pages, leading us to a surprising outcome.
