In this article we show you in detail the book titled The long shadow of love, his complete summary and analysis of the literary work of the author Mathias Malzieu, a very specific story exclusively for adults or big children with said moral.
The long shadow of love
Mathias, a young man in his thirties, has just lost his mother, a period of mourning hung over him, when he was waiting for his father and sister in the hospital parking lot, an unusual incident occurred: a giant appeared in front of him and announcement. Mathias will have to learn to use his protective shadow, to this end Jack suggests the following:
Will Mathias be able to overcome the pain of losing himself? Would you avoid looking into the abyss? Are we able to bear the loss of a lover, family or friends? If this is not the case, the huge Jack, an old acquaintance of the reader, can provide the recipe for everyone.
The long shadow of love story
As in "The Mechanics of the Heart", this is the story of an adult or an older child, however, a moral story cannot easily turn its head away, rather each reader discovers their own moral through metaphor, that hides the true meaning of the story.
Both books follow this plan, but the difference is that he tells us a story in "The Mechanism of the Heart", which includes the introduction, middle and end of the story. On the contrary, there is no story in "The long shadow of love", but it focuses on a moment of the protagonist and develops it; as a result, the reading becomes heavy, there is no action, there is no conspiracy, and it also touches on the theme of death.

After some criticism, let's put ourselves in the situation before continuing; Mathias is a young man in his thirties who has just lost his mother. This is how the novel begins, in fact, there is nothing to add, because as I have already mentioned, it stagnates and nothing else happens.
There is no real story, the giant Jack visited him and gave him a piece of shadow that should help him, I'm not sure if that's the case because that shadow allowed him to enter the world of the dead. Really? he just lost his mother, and you give him something like that, his visits are continuous, so this is the case for most of the story.
Conceivably the pacing is slow and the vocabulary a bit poetic, because we mostly learn about her grief when her mother died.
In “The Mechanics of the Heart”, I fully understand the metaphors and the moral that it brings us, and I can even list them according to my understanding. However, this time I am not able, I don't know if I don't know enough about it or just didn't find any.
Of course, I would not recommend it to people who have lost a loved one, even if it seems to help you overcome death, I prefer to see it the other way around, because I have already said that the protagonist has the shadow of introducing you to the world of the dead, to overcome a loss, isn't it the other way around? If I'm wrong, someone corrects me, but it doesn't benefit me, or maybe I can't see it.
I have no further comments, it does not contribute more, I found something very strange, not from the comparison of these two books, not from this book in particular, the author uses the name "Jack" in both books to indicate more or less important characters, but these books have nothing to do with it; also usually uses the word Acacia the name used as one of the important characters in, "Mechanics of the heart" is used as a noun (a kind of bushes and trees).
To finish this review we should explain what is the important and positive message that this novel conveys, because I was going through a small crisis that unfortunately had left me completely out of place and that thanks to an important job that they gave me, I managed to overcome such a fateful hurdle. that sometimes a bad experience plays us.
Well, this novel is a bit of that exactly, of overcoming the most difficult situations that life can bring us, in the case of the book the main character tries to overcome as best as possible the mourning for the loss of his mother. The theme of mourning as a result of a loss of great importance is a theme for reflection as old as life itself.
However much you try to empathize and put yourself in that person's place, I think you would not understand this type of situation until you experience it first hand, until you lose something, I'm not saying it's just a loved one , also a good friendship, and even material things, ultimately when it is lost, an enormous void remains, and it is normal for one to enter such a deep abyss.
It is so that sometimes sadness overwhelms you, the longing for the memory, and even so sometimes loneliness hits you, that is why I think and it is good to let yourself be surrounded by the most beloved people, the one that you know will never hurt you, and those who make that unhappy life as bearable as possible. The long shadow of love, a book of love, friendship, fear, sadness, lost mourning, a book capable of transporting us to a personal and literary universe.

As I mentioned at the beginning, yes, this book changed my expectations, which surprised me. After reading what the author wrote in this book, I learned a lot about the story, obviously, I have already doubted the death of the author's mother, because in the first chapter you feel the pain of death on the surface, never I had felt that way; No one, not even my close relatives, have died, so I can't imagine the pain of our main character (Mathias) in the whole story, but I think it doesn't come close to his true feelings.
This book is the first book written by Mathias, the content is short and the story tends to be slow. Explore the duel phase of death. For fans of the "mechanical principle of the heart", this little by little, or I like to call them a "sneak peek" of what this book will be, because I have to clarify that this book is sold to you as the second part of "The Mechanics of the Heart". ”, but it is not like that, that is why this book was written two years ago, still, Jack, after reading “Marzier” and knowing its inner mechanism, I felt how mature Jack became in this book and became a shadow doctor .
