El lenguaje sagaz y el manejo exquisito de la memoria de Ant???nio Lobo Antunes nos sumergen dentro de los dilemas morales que la corrupci???n y el poder conllevan en la polif???nica De la naturaleza de los dioses . F???tima, una modesta librera de Cascais, conoce una anciana a la que entrega libros en su mansi???n cerca del mar. Pero lo que la mujer busca no son lecturas, sino un interlocutor a su narraci???n. F???tima se convierte, contra todo pron???stico, en su confidente. El discurso desesperado y urgente de la anciana, construido sobre palabras que reconoce huecas, dibuja el relato de la ascensi???n econ???mica de su padre y de las consecuencias que su figura tuvo en todos los que vivieron su imperio y su poder. La misma mansi???n que acoge el eco de esos recuerdos fue el escenario fastuoso de la lenta ruina econ???mica de la familia, una ruina que se conjuga con la que la vejez causa en el cuerpo y que empapa de melancol???a y humanidad las distintas voces de esta novela. Lobo Antunes, uno de los m???s grandes narradores de la lengua portuguesa, indaga en el poder y en la p???rdida de significado de palabras manidas por su uso: amor y pasi???n no significan amor y pasi???n. El lenguaje aparece roto, estropeado, y abandona a los personajes a una existencia af???sica. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Ant???nio Lobo Antunes' shrewd language and exquisite handling of memory plunge us into the moral dilemmas that corruption and power entail in the polyphonic nature of the gods. Fatima, a modest Cascais bookseller, meets an old woman to whom she delivers books in her mansion by the sea. But, what the woman is looking for isn't reading material, but rather a conversation partner for her stories. Fatima turns into, against all odds, her confidant. The desperate and urgent speech of the old woman, built on words that she recognizes hollow, paints the picture of her father's economic ascension and the consequences that his figure had on everyone who lived through his rule and power. The same mansion that embraces the eco of these memories was the lavish scene of the family's slow economic ruin, a ruin that mixes with what old age does to the body and that soaks in melancholy and humanity the distinct voices in this novel. Lobo Antunes, one of the greatest narrators of the Portuguese language, investigates the power and loss of the meaning of words made trite with their use: love and passion don't mean love and passion. Language appears broken, ruined, and abandons the characters to an aphasic world.
