«Encarnación» is the novel by Brazilian writer José de Alencar, published by Ediciones Obelisco in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
The story begins with a question: the image we keep of a loved one and whether that image matches what others see. In an extreme situation, the present and the past blend, and the perception of love becomes confused. The novel thus explores memory, desire, and the deceptions of the gaze.
The book belongs to the Magoria collection; first edition published in 2001.
For readers of classic fiction interested in nineteenth-century Brazilian literature and in short narratives about love and memory.
