Crossing great distances where eagles circle over the roads, she visits villages where rural ways of life are disappearing. She listens to families facing death and gives us their stories in their words as well as through her own meditations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrilliantly blending the immediacy of oral history with the sensibility of philosophical reportage, Moreira Marques's book speaks about death in a fresh way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susana Moreira Marques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908276622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908276629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e And Other Stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.50d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Susana Moreira Marques","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989523267839,"sku":"9781908276629","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5a4b7f8-5882-459d-a1e3-a1a4d24aabc9.jpg?v=1683299988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/now-and-at-the-hour-susana-moreira-marques-9781908276629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
