Em Curvelo, no coraço do Gerais, onde o cotidiano se mistura com o surreal, Imago deseja, mas no se inflama para viver. Ele no vive verdadeiramente, apenas reside. Reside no absurdo que o conforta, que serve de abrigo para que no precise encarar de frente. Quando a vida o obriga a encarar, foge para o aconchego do universo azul em todas as suas tonalidades que para si criou como refugio. Paraopeba, Pirrogira e Crisalido, bem mais que seus amigos, vivem para Imago a vida da qual ele se esquiva, enquanto se desequilibra nos desatinos do amor que no consegue manifestar. Ate mesmo os mortos se esmeram para alerta-lo de que as coisas do coraço no podem ser deixadas para depois. Quando, enfim, manifesta verdadeiramente os seus desejos, o faz movido pela ancestralidade dos sentimentos mais hostis. Quando tudo começa a se equilibrar ja pode ser tarde demais. Viver ou apenas existir? Eis o dilema de Imago.

"Die dunkle Nacht der Seele" ist die Fortsetzung von "Der Seher". Die Hauptfigur kehrte auf der Suche nach Antworten auf eine unruhige Zeit ihres Lebens auf einen Berg zuruck, in denen sie Gott, ihre Prinzipien verga und sich in Sunden verlor. Im Berg hatte "der Seher" Kontakt mit zwei "groen Wesen", die ihn zur Erkenntnis fuhrten. Dieses Buch ist eine Passage voller Gefahren, Piraten, ein groes Abenteuer auf dem Meer, das uns Reflexionen und Fragen bringt, fur die wir uns fragen: Ware es moglich, dass ein Verbrecher sich erholt und wirklich den Frieden fur seine Verbrechen findet? Er wurde Vergebung finden. Er wurde das Gluck finden. Oder ware das nur eine Illusion?"

Nach der Auflosung des zweiten Abenteuers des Sehers kehrte ich zur normalen Routine von Arbeit, sozialem Kontakt und menschlichen Beziehungen zuruck. Ich war lange Zeit ohne Kontakt mit Renato, dem Vormund oder sogar dem Hindu und der Priesterin, Wanderbegleitern. Bis ich an einem schonen sonnigen Tag, an dem ich einen Moment der Mue mit meiner Familie genoss, eine dunne Stimme horte, die mich aus der Ferne rief. Als ich meine Vision auf meine Stimme richtete, fullten sich meine Augen mit Tranen, als ich meinen Wohltater erkannte, der mir geholfen hatte, meine Herausforderungen zu uberwinden und auf meiner ersten Reise zum Berg die gefahrlichste Hohle der Welt zu betreten.
