Credit: Atmos Energy-2011. Afronger shows the pain of an innocent who feels its soul ressequida for the hurt and the persecution spiritual of the Crossbow of Cedar, one religious instrument of torture, constructed to punish the heretics, but used to punish politicized, rebellious and courageous young that did not accept the clice of blood of the militarism and if showed made use to give the life for what they believed, well different of current youth. Cruel Febrnio colonel Cesar Axe becomes example of this violent mentality. The reader finds in the workmanship a poetical, religious and intertextual tone, with typically Brazilian images and subtle teachings, demonstrated for some personages, encouraging the people to work for the transformation of the society, without if leaving to be successful for the adversities. Cecilia Shen does not necessarily agree. Karl, a German, medical missionary, that saved the life of Afronger and is pursued therefore, exemplifica disciplines it and the rationalism, brought of Germany and associates to the good-mood and the creativity of the Brazilians. The doctor induces the readers to value the cultural plurality of the peoples.

Heidi, wife of Karl, are dignified as exemplary of woman who does not deliver itself to the difficulties of the life, goes to the fight and faces the facts with much courage and goodness in the heart. Olavo, that saved Afronger of drowning in the river Wood, taking it after that to the Dr. Karl, reveals a man simple of the interior, without very study and accustomed to the agricultural life, but that, in emotive way, it teaches that to live is to wake up the hopes every day, feeding the dreams. For everything this, the book deserves prominence in the Brazilian bookstores, because it involves, educates, it moves and it brings information on the mentality of a time that it needs to be surpassed, but not forgotten, has seen that the sacrifice and the fight of many cannot be considered in go.

Socioeconomic Structure

Characterized for the evident degradation of ' ' ser' ' in ' ' ter' ' , the current socioeconmica structure, based in what it is ephemeral and apparent, causes the life a devastadora inversion of values. The individuals, influenced for the experience in way to a market of consumption marked for the competition, had started to enxergar the other as an enemy in potential. Ahead of this, between superficial relationships, self-centered values and attitudes that prioritize the immediate one, the altruism goes if fainting and if becoming a rarity in the world contemporary. In ' ' Lquido&#039 love; ' , the Polish sociologist, Zygmunt Bauman, discourse on the fragility, superficiality and efemeridade of the human relationships. For it, in a world that if molds easily, therefore lives in constant transformation, the flabbier and uncommon human bows are each time.

In fact, the after-modern society is each time more mechanics, more indifferent and little human being. If before the friendship prevailed, today if enaltece the money; if before the sex crowned the love, today meets practically disentailed. This, however, does not happen unpunishedly; the respect and the consideration with the other, from this, already are born disfigured, to the step that the individualism and egocentrismo start to invigorate. In the Greek myth, Narcissus loved itself unconditionally. It appreciated its voice, its body and its feio.

Certain day, Narcissus gets passionate itself for a voice, of the beautiful ninja Echo. Palatveis to the ears of Narcissus, however, was not the words that Echo said; they were the words that he himself pronounced and Echo, cursed for this, reflected. Therefore, she saw when it, she rejected it cold to Narcissus and it, amargurada, meagered. Analogous, the world contemporary meets full of narcissuses, self-centered and indifferent individuals to the others. For them, the proper image and enaltecer of ' ' eu' ' they are the priorities. Thus, they are felt in the right to ignore and to menosprezar the other, acting cold with regard to the other, to collective, to the world. The proper imediatista with regard to the natural resources, proper thought of the capitalism, discloses the one that degree the altruism was debased. Although they are projects, treated and agreements that try to brighten up the current ambient problem, little has been seen in the practical one. The fact is that still if the market logic reigns, where time constitutes money, and as measured ecologically coherent more they are delayed, are also economically impracticable. In fact, the sense of shared destination inexists. to such of the support, that values the efficiency in the extration of the natural resources and thinks about the resources of the future generations, is left as the plain one. From this, the self-centered and imediatista character of the society is inferred contemporary. One is about a society whose deeper values, as the respect and the altruism, that really become the life human being, have been forgotten, abandoned and embedded under one rubbles ' ' logic moderna' ' in which &#039 prevails; ' eu' '. Unhappyly, only the re-education and the rescue of some of these important values signal as coherent solutions in this world insensato, characterized for the accumulation of mistakes, narcissuses and imediatismos.
