A ultima ceia do Doutor Fausto
In the bustling streets of 19th‑century Porto, a striking figure commands both admiration and gossip: the impeccably dressed Dr. Filippe Sullivan. Tall, pale, with a neatly trimmed moustache and a voice that fills a room, he moves through society like a living legend—charismatic to women, wise to men, and a tireless healer to the sick. His name graces every academic society, newspaper column, and charitable event, turning him into the very embodiment of professional excellence in a small nation that reveres his talent.
Yet beneath the polished façade lies a man whose brilliance draws the attention of every patient and politician alike, and whose every decision ripples through the city’s elite circles. As his reputation swells, whispers begin to hint at a gathering that could redefine his legacy—a final, intimate dinner that promises to reveal the true cost of fame. Listeners are invited to follow the delicate dance of ambition, loyalty, and the inevitable shadows that accompany a life lived in the public eye.
