Aún estoy aquí is a moving autobiographical work by Marcelo Rubens Paiva, chronicling the extraordinary life of his mother, Eunice Paiva. Following the arrest and murder of her husband, deputy Rubens Paiva, by the Brazilian military dictatorship in 1971, Eunice became a symbol of resistance and struggle, raising her five children alone while training as a lawyer and advocate for indigenous rights.
This book is not only an intimate and luminous tribute from a son to his mother, but also a profound reflection on historical memory, family identity, and resilience in the face of adversity. Through a raw and honest narrative, the author reconstructs the life of a woman who, even when facing an Alzheimer's diagnosis, maintained unwavering vitality, offering a necessary X-ray of Brazilian society during one of its darkest periods.
