Guimarães Rosa

Autor

27. Juni 1908 — 19. November 1967 (59 Jahre)
João Guimarães Rosa (27 June 1908 – 19 November 1967) was a Brazilian poet, diplomat, novelist, short story writer and doctor, considered by many to be the greatest Brazilian writer of the 20th century and one of the greatest of all time. Rosa only wrote one novel, Grande Sertão: Veredas (known in English as The Devil to Pay in the Backlands), a revolutionary text for its blend of archaic and colloquial prose and frequent use of neologisms, taking inspiration from the spoken language of the Brazilian backlands. For its profoundly philosophical themes, the critic Antonio Candido described the book as a "metaphysical novel". It is often considered to be the Brazilian equivalent of James Joyce's Ulysses. In a 2002, poll by the Bokklubben World Library, "Grande Sertão: Veredas" was named among the best 100 books of all time. Rosa also published four books of short stories in his lifetime, all of them revolving around the life in the sertão, but also addressing themes of universal literature and of existential nature. He died in 1967 — the year he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature — due to a heart attack. (Wikipedia)
