Author's caveats The act of reflection is infinite and only stops when there is acceptance of the Self. By absorbing this decisive caution, I could never let an individual on the move escape, in such aconflicting and neurotic society, where the selection process was always riddled with a relationship of struggle and competition and with possibilities or not of becoming a new perspective in life. I tried to highlight the peculiar sparkles of realism that surrounded me, in the sense of gaining a legitimate appreciation and without shame or prejudice reserved for human beings. In the "Eternal Prisoner" there is a bit of your life, the life of others, and, why not, fragments of the other lives of my life? After arranging this collection, I observed that in each original situation, the character, within the context of his drama, is either exterminated by the circumstances that gather in his fortunes, or he remains indifferent to the misfortunes that the connection to the future life reserves for him. This book is not about stupid courtesy based on a life of torture; you will see that I do not deny hope; and when it comes to inspiration, I privately offer the Eternal Prisoner. Rogério Pacheco
