Book synopsis

Narrative about moral duality and inner conflicts of human nature about justice and error. Monstrum is a novel that begins as part of a diary of the narrator's lyrical self, in which he revisits the events of his own life while trying to understand the choices that led him to an irreversible path.
Between dichotomies involving moral reflections, affective relationships and episodes of violence, a fragmented narrative is constructed about his trajectory, from his youth to the events that would later be associated with the so-called "Monster of Marseille". As the account progresses, the line between confession, justification, and personal interpretation becomes less and less clear.
Set between psychological drama and philosophical reflection, the novel examines themes such as individual responsibility, the nature of evil, love, guilt, and self-deception. The result is an intimate and disturbing portrait of a mind trying to understand itself.
