Summary
:
This is a young man's narration to himself of amorous adventures in the past. There is love and passion, but the theme is more than amorous adventures. The theme includes the struggle against oblivion and death and the desire to prolong moments of splendor and beauty. Aura is a beautiful, profound, and disturbing story.
