Both the story and the appendix are fantastic. I went into it blindly — we picked a short book for our book club to kick things off. At first, I thought the book was amusing, but as the plot unfolded, I became completely immersed and moved. I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised!

Another work that confirms Pirandello as one of my favorite authors. The plot of the grave encounters in chapters 13 and 14 discouraged me a bit from reading, but I kept going. The only thing that was worth the entire chapter was the kiss that started the reflection that made him 'come back from the dead' for good.

o livro entrega perfeitamente o que promete. com excelente escrita e revisão, consegue nos passar com imparcialidade os exemplos, detalhes e referências necessários para entendermos o que precisamos saber, pesquisar e realizar para fazer a diferença em nosso país. as informações disponibilizadas, em minha opinião, deveriam ser mais explicitamente compartilhadas em ambientes de aprendizado, ajudando os eleitores a terem ciência do poder que possuem para construir um melhor brasil.

it's interesting to think free education was considered a communist pillar.
as someone with difficulty to reflect about and transform my thoughts into words when dealing with more complex things, i can't review this as deeply as i wanted to; however, i do try to imagine how life would be today if communism was the norm instead of capitalism.
