O Menino do Elefante is a novel about childhood as a territory of loss and discovery, where pain and wonder coexist in the construction of identity. With raw and delicate writing, Luís Filipe Sarmento offers a journey through the complexity of memory, the contradictions of affection and the construction of identity on the threshold between the tragic and the sublime. A work that touches the deepest wounds of existence, celebrating the human capacity to dream beyond the shadows.
