The Terranova Library is in danger of disappearing in 2014,more than 60 years after withstanding the harshest stormsof its history.As soon as Bicentho Fontana announces his library is finallygetting shut down, he realizes that his life and memories arein danger of disappearing along with it. The library was notjust his home; it was also the home of his parents, Amaroand Kumba, and a palace of memories with his uncle, Eliseo,his Argentinian girlfriend, Guara, and so many others.The library has always been a refuge for dissidents andthe oppressed, and the home of the treasures of culturessmuggled across borders and seas and of books banned bygreater powers.The Last Days of Terranova goes beyond the story of alibrary closing down. It tells the stories of characters whohave had life's doors locked to them but still chose not tosurrender. It is the story of those who suffered during an eraof dictatorship and the destruction of culture, politics, andfreedom, and still resisted.
