In this collection of pieces, originally published in the newspaper Zero Hora, readers will find Moacyr Scliar’s sensitivity directed towards the culture, history and memory of the Jewish people. Literature, cinema, politics, humor, nothing escapes the sharp eye of one of the greatest names in Brazilian literature. With his characteristic intellectual honesty, Scliar combines his political aspirations with a radical affirmation of tolerance. The doctor and writer, who would have turned eighty in 2017, juxtaposes his dispassionate reflections with the barbarity of the facts, aiming straight at a fervent defense of peace, as enlightening as it is necessary in our times.
