Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this deadly-funny debut novel by renowned Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres, five macho friends in Rio's Copacabana reflect on their hedonistic glory days-now supplanted by the indignities of aging-in what turn out to be their final moments.With uncanny insight into the less virtuous corners of the male psyche, Fernanda Torres brings us five friends who once milked the high life of Rio's Bossa Nova age and are now left with memories-parties, marriages, divorces, fixations, inhibitions, bad decisions-and the grim realities of getting old.

Edgy, funny, and wise, The End is a candid tropical tragicomedy and an epitaph for a lost generation of machos.…
