"Novos contos" by Bento Moreno is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book explores various facets of life, often depicting characters immersed in their struggles, desires, and interactions within their social contexts. It delves into themes of illness, love, longing, and the complexities of human relationships, revealing the emotional nuances of its characters. The opening of the collection introduces a narrator who reflects on his experiences during a severe illness at a young age, detailing his physical and psychological turmoil as he confronts the reality of life and death. He vividly recounts the agony of his fever and the subsequent slow return to health, portraying a struggle not only for physical recovery but for a deeper understanding of existence itself. As he begins to regain his normal sensations and desires, he experiences a profound appreciation for life, contrasted with a visceral fear of mortality. This introspective narrative sets the tone for the themes of resilience and the bittersweet nature of existence that are likely to unfold in the subsequent stories.
