Tirilampo and His Adventures - Paperback

by Ana Catarina Portugal (Author)

Tirilampo is a creature that is never quiet. He visits places never before seen by other creatures. He is not just a discoverer of lands and people but also a seeker of new meanings for words. Tirilampo has a unique trait: as he gets to know people, creatures, and places, he becomes stronger and smarter. The people he meets on his journeys offer him their knowledge, and his wisdom grows as he encounters the unknown. He is shaped by the context surrounding him and the diversity of people he meets. On his adventures, he is offered gifts, such as a pair of wings to add to his form and visions of different populations. He concludes, 'To fly is to go further, using your imagination and putting it into practice. It is having dreams and being free to dream them.' Tirilampo absorbs a fragment of everyone he meets. However, he also leaves behind a piece of himself-his personality, his sympathy, and his life story-wherever he goes. On his adventure, he discovers the meaning of the word Saudade.
