But Nejar's poetry reminds us that man only truly traverses history if he first traverses himself. The author brings together the great mysteries of language, brings about the invention of words, and makes writing real. The Secret Life of the Gabiru seeks an epic, lyrical, social, and dramatic song of man in the world. • Carlos Nejar is a Brazilian poet, fiction writer, translator, and literary critic, and a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters and the Brazilian Academy of Philosophy. • In 2000, he received the Jorge de Lima Prize from the Brazilian Writers' Union for *Os Viventes* and the Machado de Assis Prize for novels from the National Library for *Riopampa*. • “Nejar’s path is toward longevity, built with a cultivated and inventive command of language within a metaphysical yet passionate vision of life.” – Bravo!

With sixty years of lyre on his shoulders, something no other Brazilian author has today, he describes the tragedies of Brumadinho, Mariana, the fire at the National Museum, and the cowardly deforestation of the Amazon. His unmistakable theatrical voice speaks out for all the invisible: the scourged, the displaced, the persecuted Awá Indians, the paid dead, and their merciless relatives. The invisible speaks on behalf of those who disappeared simply because they were Brazilian. He speaks of our historical omission in the present. He speaks endlessly of the imminent end of honor and dignity.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175517208828,"sku":"9788528624397","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/248c895029308e04168c44a9328ac807_0edab0cc-8b83-455c-9142-77c389d4f520.jpg?v=1778875326"},{"product_id":"cronicas-de-um-imortal-ou-invento-para-nao-chorar","title":"Chronicles of an immortal, or (in)vention so as not to cry","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOccupant of chair number four at the Brazilian Academy of Letters, Carlos Nejar presents in this \u003cem\u003eChronicles of an Immortal\u003c\/em\u003e a collection of unpublished texts that discuss politics, religion, literature and society.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Author of novels, poems, essays, short stories, literary criticism, translations, and children's literature, Carlos Nejar is one of the most relevant writers of our time.

He sees soul in stones, trees, horses, streams, and mountains, blending what he read with what he feels.
