  • I am Igor…..At this time and place.Thankfully my reasoning is not faulty and mass murder will not ensue.It’s that childish anger that has little ones lashing out before thinking things through.I think we all fantasise about acts of vengence when someone breaks our heart.I wonder though if by carrying out his crimes Igor actually removes the bitter taste in his mouth?

  • Igor has lost the norms and murder was the best action to made Ewa looked him.

    Sometimes we are Igor.. Do the bad things (read: break the rules)only to attract people!

  • As a coincidence, I was practising some martial arts in past years. So as I always do, I was searching information, bought books and read about the Chinese culture . That why among other things, in one book I was reading about the most dangerous and secret type of Chinese martial art, I guess was dim chak , but not remember well. Anyways it mean “the iron hand”, and it required lot of training, but the techinque could be used to cure or to kill, and a soft tuch made the difference. Only the person who used it could notice the difference, so some murders were the result of that techinque.

  • That character is really impressive, powerful, very well defined and built. It really applies to our times, when we have so many men who fight in some war and come home with serious desorders, I could add insane, even if the illness is hidden.
    I dont have medical preparation, so cant afford to give diagnose to Igor, but at some traits he seem to have even hallucinations, seeing one of his victims giving him advice.Olivia.
    The obsession for Ewa was only a resort and we know he never acept to lose, for him the purpose excused the means .
    We see in the end that he lost humanity, he did not know to love, maybe that feeling, empathy lacking made him being such a cold blood murderer.
    I noticed that the double personality came into discussion. Might be the case?
    Anyways he missunderstood the message of God, of religion, as many do still nowadays. In the name od something good, the commit lots of injustices.
    The worst thing was the incapacity that Igor understand he was wrong.
    He was so sure he did right things.
    Pretty scaring, I must say.
    So how he could be ever judged, when he lacked his sensibility?
    I know he was wrong, life is sacred, not to be touched, but he seemed to be unaware.
    Terrible one character, I hope not to meet any of that kind ever.
    Love and Light

    I was thinking before sleeping last night to Igor. Just noticed the details made him so hard to be identified, he had almost no sign to be distinguished, a grey character, almost as a good spy could be.This was because he represent( or might) any of us?

  • Para mi Igor simplemente perdió la brújula, y el dolor de perder al gran amor de su vida lo racionalizo de manera inadecuada e insana, seguramente debido a un pasado de por si ya traumatico y que con el tiempo se fue incubando hasta que otro evento traumatico disparo el mal que ya traía. Su final no lo merecía.

  • Namaste Sr. Coelho,
    I’ve let this work digest a bit, so hopefully it will be easier to write.

    Igor seemed like a warped Santiago in many ways. He’s creating his personal legend to hell. I can’t say that I understood his logic, but then I’ve never been a soldier. I do not see nobility in murder. I never have. I’m often shouted down by those who differ from this position.

    His darkness plagued this book. Facing darkness such as this as a writer must be hard. Yet he was realistic. He fits the psychological profiles of such individuals quite well. They say Hitler was a charming man. I’m glad you showed that in Igor. Too often people have images of physical deformity with such an individual, but all too often the deformity lies within their soul.

    His ending in the book was perfect. In many ways, it’s like a knife in the heart, which wakes the reader up. There’s nothing more to say about that without giving it away.

    Love to you

  • Great ! buddy u r quiet right, infact dis what I also concluded about d the character of Igor.

  • Igor seems to be a person who lost his sense of right and wrong a very long time ago. I wonder if it began with killing in a war he did not beleive in. It seems that from that point in his story on he lost something. He did deals with shady people to move his business forward. He neglected his wife for his career. He seems to suffer from some deep seated control issues. I am not certain he ever really loved his wife. The greatest love of all is to let another being be free. He uses relgion as a reason for guiding his killing of innocent people and has become so delusional he belives that the woman he killed has become his angel. I think that part of the story shows really that he KNOWS he has done wrong and so desperatly needs forgiveness that he might have fabricated this angel. Whether a fabrication or not his “free will” has over ridden his heart. No longer can he hear his true spirit speaking through him.

    The character of Igor seems to me bit of psycho kind of person , ho is unable to relate himself to the reality that his spouse was not inlove with him anymore.In hindsight this character also the kind of psychological effect wars , like that of Vietnam , can be on soldiers ho r involved in it.

  • Dear Paulo,
    I finished to read your book tonight, so, unfortunately, I couldn’t take part to the contest for your event in Rome, this october.
    I like the story; it’s real and pitiless (impitoyable) at the same time.
    My impression about the charachter of Igor, (now I could answer the questions of the italian contest), is that it deals about a battle like the one with the dog you described in “the Pilgrimage”.
    I mean inside Igor there is a battle between good and evil.
    Even Igor is fighting his “good Fight”, but there is a difference.
    The difference is that, when you wer fighting with the dog, you realizaed that there were a moment where you could turn into the evil, and being aware of that, choosed to you put the “bad Power of the dog” back to the earth.
    So your choice, in the end, was wise and positive, and the Universe appreciated, as your life testifies.
    Igor, on the contrary, fights to the end, even when he realized he could let the lives to Ewa and her man, he decides to kill them.
    He made the choice of death; he won, but, in the end, the Whole Universe made him “alone”.
    I hope I’ve been plain enough about my opinion.
    Love.
    Chris
