Author Description

"Oração do Ateu" is Marco Machado's first book, and where he initially demonstrated his mix of fiction and philosophy. In this book, three characters are in Rio de Janeiro. Each represents one of the aspects of a trinity - in this case, the yesterday, the tomorrow and the present. The surrounding theme is the search after an effective free will. The stories of the three main characters intermingle. While the story unfolds and the search for an answer to the question of whether humans have a free will or not takes place, Marco brings several ancient philosophical themes. This book is truly one of a kind.
