Synopsis

Zenda se reinventa a cada dia. É surpreendente, inquietante, viva — mas, neste momento, vive sob o impacto de uma crise que parece tocar suas entranhas mais profundas. As forças que deveriam harmonizar o corpo político — o Legislativo, o Judiciário e o Executivo — já não dialogam. Falam em códigos distintos, ruídos atravessam a comunicação institucional, e o país fictício, reflexo nítido de muitos reais, mergulha em divisões que dilaceram sua própria identidade.

As casas legislativas de Zenda foram ocupadas por seus próprios representantes — não para legislar, mas para protestar. Um grupo expressivo de parlamentares se insurge contra decisões do Judiciário, em uma cena que mais parece teatro de espelhos quebrados: cada ator denuncia o outro como inimigo da liberdade, enquanto o público — o povo — assiste atônito, dividido, cansado.

O que espanta, e talvez revele o paradoxo mais profundo, é o deslocamento simbólico das ideologias. A direita de hoje clama por pautas que, até pouco tempo, pertenciam à esquerda. Já a esquerda — ao menos parte dela — assume práticas e posturas que lembram a direita autoritária de 1964. É como se o tempo dobrasse sobre si mesmo, e Zenda, perdida nesse labirinto, já não soubesse mais quem é quem.

Há ainda, é verdade, uma esquerda fiel a princípios humanistas e democráticos, mas ela parece cada vez mais isolada, cercada de ex-aliados que se comportam como herdeiros da velha Arena: abraçam o Judiciário como força salvadora e entregam nas mãos da toga

João Calazans Filho

João Calazans Filho is one of the most significant voices in contemporary Brazilian and global literature. A writer, chronicler, and passionate advocate for the Portuguese language, his work has become a cornerstone of 21st-century Ibero-American literature. With 69 books published, translated into 19 languages, and distributed in over 160 countries, Calazans Filho has achieved a rare level of international recognition, standing as one of the most widely read and respected authors of our time.

Born in Salvador, Bahia, João Calazans Filho weaves into his writing the colors, rhythms, and silences of the Brazilian Northeast. Yet his journey has also been shaped by a diverse cultural path, with his first books written between São Paulo and Spain—spaces that deeply influenced his artistic vision and expanded his narrative scope. With powerful novels, poignant chronicles, and soul-stirring poetry, Calazans has created a body of work that bridges continents while always maintaining a profoundly human, critical, and sensitive voice.

His stories explore the complexities of everyday life, social conflict, spirituality, urban violence, and hope as an act of resistance. Through vivid characters and narratives that move between realism and the symbolic, his literature speaks to universal themes with richness, accessibility, and emotional depth. The result is writing that moves, challenges, and transforms.

Throughout his career, João Calazans Filho has also stood out for his cultural commitment. A tireless advocate for reading and emerging writers, he leads literary projects, fosters public debates, and promotes initiatives that highlight the value of Brazilian culture. His dedication to the Portuguese language has taken him to literary conferences, book fairs, and academic institutions across Brazil and abroad, reaffirming literature as a tool for both identity and freedom.

Returning to Spain at various points in his career—with novels that resonate across both Latin America and Europe—Calazans is today celebrated as a true Ibero-American author, acclaimed by readers and critics around the globe.

João Calazans Filho is, without a doubt, a leading figure in Brazilian and world literature. His work reflects not only the soul of a people, but also the spirit of an era. An era in which voices like his—bold, human, and honest—remind us that words, when born of struggle and heart, can cross oceans and endure forever.
