“[…] Angústia has as protagonist Luís Silva, a civil servant from Maceió who leads a mediocre life without great emotions until the day he falls in love with Marina. At first, the young woman shows some interest in the relationship and in the material comfort that the marriage could provide her, but she soon ends up leaving her fiance for Julião Tavares, richer and powerful. Seized by jealousy and rancor, Silva is disturbed by the events that unfold and starts to follow Marina's life while dreaming of killing Julião. Written in first person, the novel has a non-linear temporal structure, following the stream of consciousness of the narrator-character and bringing the reader closer to the feelings aroused by the conflicts experienced by Luís Silva.
