A Brazilian Master, July 25, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Antonio Candido (Paperback)
Prof. Antonio Candido de Mello e Souza will turn 80 next year. A former professor from Universidade de Sao Paulo and a visiting scholar in many other universities in the USA and Europe, Antonio Candido is considered one of the most important (if not, the "hotest" name) in the literary critics field in Brazil. His works have been translated into English, French and Spanish quite often and altought retired now he keeps writing and mainly advising auhors and students.I'm myself a small example of one of the ones that has been the pleasure and satisfaction to work under this advises. "Literatura e sociedade", the original title of this book is considered one of his most consistent works ever. If interested in a deep and serious analyses of Brazilian literature, the title is a MUST READ!
