Portraits

The literary geniality of the writer João Calazans Filho is revealed by mixing styles in the way of telling stories and cases.

As the author, Calazans manages to include in the soul of each chronicle, strokes of humor, and tragicomedy transforming the reading into the purest fun.

The author reflects in his texts the elegance and revelry of Ariano Suassuna, associated with Adonis Hijo's seriousness and Jorge Amado's tales eternal malice narrative. I have a duty to mention these great writers and talk about the beautiful content developed in this book.

"Portraits" should be seen with an overall picture of the lives that people take in Brazil's countryside. Although you know what they represent at the stories' origin, since they gained life in a different city from the one we live in, the events narrated don't prevent us from comparing it with the way of life of the Brazilian people.

Don't forget to be laughing at the stories of hunters, brave and friendly men who use the bohemian style to transform their lives into something better. And I say more: - the immense-country population uses all their creativity to survive against unfair offers of social development imposed often authoritatively.

"Portraits" will leave a mark on the life of each person who devotes a little of his time to read this small and in turn great communication project that came to mark a definite position in the national literary context.

I am convinced that those passionate about good reading will enchant the author's revelry, effervescence, perversity, and experience to reveal all that uncommon beauty.
