- Graciliano Ramos de Oliveira (October 27, 1892 - March 20, 1953) was a Brazilian modernist writer, politician and journalist. He is known worldwide for his portrayal of the precarious situation of the poor inhabitants of the Brazilian sertão in his novel Vidas secas. His characters are complex, nuanced, and tend to have pessimistic world views, from which Ramos deals with topics such as the lust for power (the main theme in São Bernardo), misogyny (a key point in Angústia), and infidelity.
José Lins do Rego Cavalcanti (July 3, 1901 - September 12, 1957) was a Brazilian novelist most known for his semi-autobiographical "sugarcane cycle." These novels were the basis of films that had distribution in the English speaking world.
Augusto Meyer (born in Porto Alegre on January 24, 1902; died in Rio de Janeiro on July 10, 1970) was a Brazilian poet, journalist, and folklorist. He won the Prêmio Machado de Assis in 1948.
Carlos Drummond de Andrade (October 31, 1902 - August 17, 1987) was a Brazilian poet and writer, considered by some as the greatest Brazilian poet of all time. He has become something of a national cultural symbol in Brazil, where his widely influential poem "Canção Amiga" ("Friendly Song") has been featured on the 50-cruzado novo bill.
Jorge Leal Amado de Faria (10 August 1912 - 6 August 2001) was a Brazilian writer of the modernist school. He remains the best known of modern Brazilian writers, with his work having been translated into some 49 languages and popularized in film, notably Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands in 1976. His work reflects the image of a Mestiço Brazil and is marked by religious syncretism. He depicted a cheerful and optimistic country that was beset, at the same time, with deep social and economic differences.
Érico Lopes Verissimo (December 17, 1905 - November 28, 1975) was an important Brazilian writer, born in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. His historical trilogy O Tempo e o Vento ("The Time and the Wind") is considered as his greatest work, written in the period of 1949-1961, from which arose primordial characters such as Ana Terra and Capitão Rodrigo that went on to become popular amongst his readers.
Clarice Lispector (December 10, 1920 - December 9, 1977) was a Ukrainian-born Brazilian novelist and short story writer acclaimed internationally for her innovative novels and short stories. Born to a Jewish family in Podolia in Western Ukraine, as an infant she moved to Brazil with her family, amidst the disasters engulfing her native land following the First World War.
Nélida Piñon (born May 3, 1937) is a Spanish-Brazilian author and professor. Piñon "is considered among the foremost writers in Brazil today". In 1984, she had her perhaps greatest success with A Republica dos Sonhos, (The Republic of Dreams). The work involves generations of a family from Galicia who emigrated to Brazil, which relates to her own family's experience. Among other distinctions, Piñon was awarded the 1995 FIL Award and the 2005 Prince of Asturias Award for literature. She also was the President of Academia Brasileira de Letras (Brazilian Academy of Letters) from 1996 to 1997, and occupied the José Bonifácio Chair of Iberoamerican Affairs of the University of São Paulo in 2015.

. So many writers of treasures of Brazilian literature with mixtures of races, languages, mystical consciousness, poetry, novels, plays, of the last 100 years of the uniqueness that Brazilian hearts entwined. Political, social unrest. A wealth of words metaphysical, Spirits. I must have them all. My mind is a blaze with paintworks from my neighbors. Thank you.❤️💞🌏 Furthermore, I have read quite a few since I saw this documentary. May I also offer my gratitude for the music from Brazil and South America and prestigious films.
I also have much love for the indigenous cultures of South America and all over the world. The Amazon and its people have much ancient wisdom to teach our world about nature. Exposure to their wisdom may help save our world from climate change 🙏
May our world embrace a love for all people and continue to grow with a social consciousness that will motivate change in the world's policies to create a more just world.
Happy it made your day! ☀"a blaze with paintworks from my neighbors"...Great imagery, all of it ❤
What a vapid joke
Amo literatura de vanguarda! Amo tudo que vem da vanguarda! Viva a literatura, o jazz e a vanguarda!
Great.
Just to highlight hete: the Channel might do a whole documentary about Machado de Assis the greatest of our writers as well as one mainly about Guimarães Rosa a giant writer also. Machado is the first realistic writer here. Harold Bloom das one of the most famous admirer of his work. And putting clear that Machado was a son of a freed black man who was slaved. Few Will got where he got knowing nos background.
Thank you for this comment. Decades ago I discovered the work of Machado de Assis from reading Harold Bloom (The Western Canon). I treasure my much-read old copies. Going to retire tonight with my first edition “Philosopher or Dog” …..Miss Jenny.
Thanks, very interesting!
Fantastic. Some amazing Brazillian writers and theorists (such as Oswald Andrade). João Guimarães Rosa is an all-time great. The Andrades, Machado de Assis, the concrete poets like Decio Pignatari, Lispector, the list goes on. There's also a pun when Andrade says "To be or not to be", it's actually "Tupi or not Tupi" playing on the name for the native language.
Brasileiros falam português. Por qual motivo todos os entrevistados estão falando em espanhol? Estranho!
Up
And it also bothers that they tried to pronounce Brazilian names with a spanish accent.
But overall it’s an okay documentary.
👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

This was a great video, I learned how much I don't know about Brazilian literature!
I have read Epitaph for a Small Winner by de Assis and Sao Benardo by Graciliano Ramos is sitting on a shelf. Thanks for reminding me of how much I still have to read!
Glad to hear it!
I am Brazilian and in my opinion there's nothing and no one compared with Clarice Lispector. She is the top, the best!! I've never read so deep in literature, maybe, just Herman Hesse in complete different style. 😁👍
Best of the world
a correction: the manifestos (anthropophagic and pau Brasil) were written by Oswald de Andrade and not by Mário.
O vídeo mais esperado no canal! 😅😊👍
Glad it was worth the wait! 👌👌
