Cartas a Um Jovem Escritor E Suas Respostas

by Fernando Sabino

Para um jovem escritor mineiro de Belo Horizonte, significava verdadeira consagração receber em 1942 uma carta nestes termos de ninguém menos que Mário de Andrade, monstro sagrado como Papa do Modernismo. Suas palavras constituíram extraordinário impacto para Fernando Sabino, então apenas com 18 anos de idade. E os contos do seu primeiro livro a que elas se referiam, Os grilos não cantam mais, vinham sendo concebidos desde os quatorze anos. Com o entusiasmo de sua juventude, Fernando Sabino respondeu emocionadamente, nascendo daí entre os dois, apesar da diferença de idade, uma amizade através de intensa correspondência que durou até a morte do grande escritor paulista em 1945. A influência de suas cartas sobre a evolução intelectual de Fernando Sabino representa precioso roteiro para quem deseja iniciar-se nos mistérios da criação literária: valem como precioso testemunho de uma dimensão verdadeiramente apostolar.

About the author

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.
