Sob a curadoria de Carlos Freire, poliglota e renomado tradutor, esta obra destaca a importância das narrativas como veículos de conexão entre diferentes culturas. Cada conto neste volume não apenas ilustra a singularidade da língua de origem, mas também oferece um vislumbre das tradições e valores que permeiam as sociedades que os geraram. A seleção de Freire é um convite à reflexão sobre a universalidade da experiência humana, ressaltando que, apesar das barreiras linguísticas, a narrativa é uma expressão comum que nos une.

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1941 comments Thank you! You someone could add the editor, as well, I would thank you! The current editor is the translator, actually.

Bruno Rodrigues | 15474 comments Please share a photo of the book edition information page, so we verify the details.
Usually we don't add the editor to the author list, but as this book seems to be a colecions of short stories, in this case it can be added, if it is listed as Editor.

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1941 comments You can check on the Amazon page linked in the first comment. There, the two names are listed. Who was added as the editor should be the translator, the left one should be the editor.

Bruno Rodrigues | 15474 comments Amazon is not the most reliable source.

From the description:
(...)Sob a curadoria de Carlos Freire (...)
(...)A seleção de Freire é (...)

This makes Carlos Freire more than just the translator IMO.

Also, Carlos Freire is the only name I see on the cover.

So, I won't change the book details without verifying them with the book's Ficha Técnica.

Rafael da Silva (morfindel) | 1941 comments I thought that Amazon were The source for GR. In the librarian manual it's stated that covers etc should be got from there preferentially. But ok. I will get a picture of it.
