Never Did The Fire (English Edition)

Can people who have been controlled, oppressed, disappointed, or defeated express themselves? This book doesn't give clear answers to these questions.

They are the ones who are oen silenced, but in this book, they can't help but speak. Speaking has become necessary for them, a final act of freedom in a world that wants to keep them quiet and suppressed. We find ourselves in an uncertain year, filled with disappointment, much like many other years we've seen.

Militancy becomes the focal point of all recollections, including the many mistakes made during resistance, which are repeated in the present, manifesting as conflicts between bodies and the impossibility of real contact or understanding. Within the deeply personal language of these bodies in.
