There are many themes that move atomically through the contemporary universe. Between religious chants and meticulous quantum leaps, between the gods of capital and capital punishments that seal - against the law - the lives of the poorest, the Brazilian and universal contemporary is created and recreated on a canvas full of vivid and possible colors on which the paints of a creation are mixed and separated, always to be deciphered with great care and dedication by those who dare to think about today. If to read is to lift your eyes from the paper, the reading proposed here is intended as an initial stimulus for an attractive and enjoyable debate on themes that are dear to the exercise of citizenship and the enjoyment of existing, not closed off as absolute truths or as broad pedagogical compendiums that limit reflective creation on being and on life itself. That's why, as a mirror of the contemporary, this book begins wherever the reader wants it to.
