    About this ebook

    Dividido em nove livros, o romance apresenta uma personagem que, ao longo dos 500 anos da história do Brasil, vai se metamorfoseando em diferentes seres. Começando como um dos degredados da esquadra de Cabral, transforma-se num boto, num escravo negro, num inconfidente, num poeta romântico, numa mulher, etc. A linguagem do romance, por isso mesmo, procura mimetizar diversos estilos de época – o quinhentista, o barroco, o arcádico, o romântico, etc. –, que representam os principais aspectos da realidade social e cultural brasileira.

      The William Trevor Reader: “Autumn Sunshine”

      Feb 7, 2023

      Sometimes I think I ask too much of short stories. I will forgive a lot of flaws in novels, for novels are an essentially imperfectible artform. Novels are, almost in their DNA, meant to be baggy, digressive, overlong, and even to some extent incoher

      This Is Not a Defense of Poetry

      Mar 30, 2017

      “I caught a tremendous fish.” So begins, recognizably but not quite famously, Elizabeth Bishop’s “The Fish.” Five words, four of which are remarkably plain: “I caught a fish.” Minus the one adjective, “tremendous,” the only polysyllabic word in the l
