In 'Of the Nature of the Gods', António Lobo Antunes immerses us in a polyphonic story where corruption and power pose moral dilemmas. Fátima, a bookseller from Cascais, becomes the confidante of an old woman who seeks to narrate the economic rise of her father and the consequences of his empire. The novel explores the loss of meaning in words like 'love' and 'passion,' showing a broken language that abandons the characters to an aphasic existence. With shrewd prose and exquisite memory, Lobo Antunes offers us a profound reflection on the human condition and the nature of power.
