As Melhores Crônicas

Rate this book
Seleção primorosa feita pelo autor mineiro com 50 crônicas publicadas em jornais e revistas. São relatos curtos de fatos colhidos da vida real, com tratamento de ficção, em linguagem nítida, sem os ornamentos da retórica tradicional, mas de apurada técnica literária. Episódios, incidentes, reflexões, encontros e desencontros vividos por Fernando Sabino, na realidade ou na imaginação, apresentados com rica inventiva. Sob a aparente singeleza transparecem a sensibilidade, o humor, a ironia e, às vezes, o espírito satírico, mas sobretudo a simpatia do autor pela natureza humana. Em cada crônica, uma pequena maravilha inspirada no cotidiano. Capa 196 páginas

Fernando Sabino

72 books145 followers
Fernando Sabino (October 12, 1923 - October 11, 2004) was a Brazilian writer and journalist.
Sabino was born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, where he lived until he was twenty, when he moved to Rio de Janeiro.
Sabino was the author of 50 books, as well as many short stories and essays. His first book was published in 1941, when he was just 18 years old. Sabino vaulted to national and international fame in 1956 with the novel A Time to Meet, the tale of three friends in the inland city of Belo Horizonte. The book was inspired by Sabino's life history.
Sabino also enjoyed commercial success with The Great Insane and The Naked Man, which were made into films.
Sabino considered friendship to be one of the most important things in life. His circle of friends included Hélio Pellegrino, Otto Lara Resende, Paulo Mendes Campos, Rubem Braga, Clarice Lispector, Vinicius de Moraes, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Mário de Andrade, and Manuel Bandeira.
In the last ten years of his life, Sabino was distant from the media. Many of his close friends died before him. Two years before his death, Sabino was diagnosed with cancer. Following a prolonged illness, he died one day before his 81st birthday in his Rio de Janeiro home.
