Overview

Immersive, lyrical, and tender - a novella of love, memory, and the courage to stay present. Lisbon in summer: a city of light, trams, bread, and tides that keep their own wisdom. Rui, a student already marked by departure, meets Clara, a woman who teaches him that studying can be an act of kindness and that presence can be braver than any promise. What begins in quiet hallways becomes a season of intimacy carried by rituals-a lemon on a windowsill, the tap-tap of secret applause, journeys to beaches where fishermen still work the nets, and the misted gardens of Sintra. Each moment becomes a vow to live the day honestly, even with October's departure approaching. A Goddess in Silhouette is more than a love story: it is a meditation on endings, memory, and the light that remains after clouds. For readers who cherish poetic prose, tender romance, and cities that feel alive, this novella offers a Lisbon summer you'll never forget.

Author Information

Rui Talaia is not a guru, nor does he claim to have all the answers. He is simply a fellow traveler-curious, open-hearted, and deeply human-who has spent decades exploring the questions that tug at the soul: Who am I? Why am I here? How do I live with meaning in a world that often feels disconnected? His journey has taken him through many landscapes: from ancient teachings and spiritual communities to quiet moments of reflection and everyday life lessons. Along the way, Rui has come to believe that spirituality isn't something separate from life-it is life, lived with intention, presence, and compassion. Living the New Age is the second book in his evolving trilogy, a continuation of his honest and heartfelt exploration into how we can bring spirit into the ordinary. His first book laid the foundation; this one invites you to live it. The third and final book is currently in the making, bringing together a lifetime of insights, mistakes, awakenings, and humble wonderings. Rui writes not as an expert, but as someone who is still learning-still listening. Through his books, he hopes to create a space where readers feel less alone, more empowered, and gently reminded that the sacred is already within them.
