Narration Toward Books Vidas Secas

Vidas secas, lançado originalmente em 1938, é o romance em que mestre Graciliano — tão meticuloso que chegava a comparecer à gráfica no momento em que o livro entrava no prelo, para checar se a revisão não haveria interferido em seu texto — alcança o máximo da expressão que vinha buscando em sua prosa. O que impulsiona os personagens é a seca, áspera e cruel, e paradoxalmente a ligação telúrica, afetiva, que expõe naqueles seres em retirada, à procura de meios de sobrevivência e um futuro. Apesar desse sentimento de transbordante solidariedade e compaixão com que a narrativa acompanha a miúda saga do vaqueiro Fabiano e sua gente, o autor contou: Procurei auscultar a alma do ser rude e quase primitivo que mora na zona mais recuada do sertão... os meus personagens são quase selvagens... pesquisa que os escritores regionalistas não fazem e nem mesmo podem fazer ...porque comumente não são familiares com o ambiente que descrevem...Fiz o livrinho sem paisagens, sem diálogos. E sem amor. A minha gente, quase muda, vive numa casa velha de fazenda. As pessoas adultas, preocupadas com o estômago, não tem tempo de abraçar-se. Até a cachorra [Baleia] é uma criatura decente, porque na vizinhança não existem galãs caninos. Vidas secas é o livro em que Graciliano, visto como antipoético e anti-sonhador por excelência, consegue atingir, com o rigor do texto que tanto prezava, um estado maior de poesia.

Article Regarding Books Vidas Secas

Vocabulary very hard for me in my second language. However living in interior Brazil in the '60s enabled me to relate to the story without difficulty. I remember people like that, though the more successful homesteaders seemed to come from Minas Gerais, and not the Northeast. I'd like to read it again with a dictionary at hand. My copy is a paperback, purchased in '65, stained with red dust and falling apart. But it feels like a classic!

this book is fantastic!

Ramos was born into a poor Brazilian family and was illiterate until he was nine - yet he became a writer. Not unexpectedly, he describes a complete inability to inflate his writing style, or even write about something that he hasn't personally experienced. While Barren Lives isn't a roman a clef, Ramos's background is readily apparent in this simple story of a wretchedly poor (and illiterate) farming family trying to live between droughts on the plains of northeastern Brazil. The plot reminded

The chapter... yes, that chapter. Another reason to learn Portuguese.

I didn't expect much of this story, but after finishing it I can say it's my favorite book of the Brazilian classic literature. It's the work of a genius with deep and intelligent criticism of the modern society.Vidas Secas (Dry lives) was written in 1938. It tells the story of a family who tries to escape from their misery facing the hardship of the Brazilian Northeast's drought, the exploitation of the poor by the wealthy and powerful, the oppression of the government, and the family's own

Classic Brazilian literature. This book reads more like a collection of short stories. Theres no continuation between the chapters.

Barren Lives (1938) covers a brief period of time in the life of a family as they try to eke out a living as farm hands on a ranch in a small village. Thematically the book reminds me of The Grapes of Wrath (1939) by John Steinbeck except that the family is more hopeful in Barren Lives because they are still on the move at the end of the book. Steinbeck's family reaches the promised land (California) only to find poverty and exploitation.The book is written in a straightforward manner. The text
