Um punhado de terra

Abstract

A Handful of Earth, by Reginaldo Oliveira, is a novel that delves into the journey of self-discovery of a main character, whose name is kept secret until the end of the book. The novel is set in a fictional city, where the main character, a young adult, lives a quiet life. However, one day, he finds a handful of earth that seems to have magical properties. This handful of earth has the power to transport him to different times and places. With each new place and time he visits, the main character learns valuable lessons about life, love, loss, and humanity. He meets people from different cultures and backgrounds, each with their own story to tell. However, as the story progresses, the main character begins to question the reality of these journeys. He wonders if these are real experiences or just hallucinations. The search for the truth becomes a central part of the plot. “A Fistful of Earth” is a profound exploration of the human condition, told through the often surreal experiences of the main character. It is a reminder that no matter where we go, we carry a piece of our homeland with us.
