{"title":"Dalton Trevisan","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo dia 14 de junho de 1925, nasce Dalton Trevisan. Em Curitiba, é claro. A mesma Curitiba em que cresce e ganha a fama de \"vampiro\". A mesma Curitiba que eternizou em tantos contos - e que, justamente por isso, tem com ele um débito eterno. A mesma Curitiba cheia de mistérios. O próprio escritor é um deles: para se conceber um histórico de Trevisan, é preciso a habilidade das cerzideiras, cosendo retalhos aqui e ali, em uma ou outra reportagem, nas antigas e raras entrevistas. Formado em Direito, exerceu a função de repórter policial e crítico de cinema. Um acidente com o forno de uma olaria, em 1945, quase lhe tira a vida. Trevisan foi internado com fratura de crânio, mas se recuperou para editar, a partir do ano seguinte, a revista Joaquim, que duraria até 1949. Em 1950, o escritor vai para a Europa. Casa-se em 1953, tornando-se pai de duas filhas. Escondeu-se no anonimato para vencer um concurso de contos no Paraná, em 1968. Gosta de filmes de bangue-bangue e de passear pelas ruas da capital paranaense. Já teve livros traduzidos para diversos idiomas, como o inglês, o espanhol e o italiano. Na Hungria, alguns de seus contos inspiraram uma série de TV. No Brasil, alguns textos foram adaptados para o cinema e a TV. Seus livros são editados pela Record desde 1978. Durante anos, seus livros ganharam identidade visual criada pelo artista gráfico Poty. Depois, a parceria mudou: figuras em nanquim do dadaísta alemão George Grosz, resgatadas da Berlim do tempo da república Weimar, dão o tom apocalíptico que os escritos de Trevisan foram assumindo.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"antologia-pessoal","title":"Personal anthology","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWith a foreword by Augusto Massi, \u003cem\u003ePersonal Anthology\u003c\/em\u003e brings together an unprecedented collection of texts by Dalton Trevisan, one of the greatest short story writers in Brazilian literature.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e From the constellation of his vast literary output, Dalton Trevisan selected 94 short stories.

Racing his bicycle through the urban maze of cars, buses, and trucks, the cyclist overcomes all obstacles. Or does he? Before being illustrated by the multi-talented artist Odilon Moraes, the short story that inspired this unpublished edition was reworked by the author and republished several times over the years. *The Cyclist* appeared twice in the newspaper Gazeta do Povo in the 1950s, both as a report and as a fictional work. When it finally reached print, it was included in the author's celebrated works, such as Disasters of Love (1968), Mysteries of Curitiba (1968), and The Kiss on the Back of the Neck (2014), always offering a renewed portrait of the man in the saddle and the city in which he lives. The cyclist's courage and speed amidst urban dangers are celebrated by the narrator, while the \"unwanted of the people\" maintains its presence undaunted: death constantly insists on asking for a ride, even in the face of the refusal of the one it bothers, who pretends not to see it. However, even though he tries to ignore it, the man, \"defenseless and fragile as he is,\" is left vulnerable before the giant monster, the truck, in its own labyrinth, the urban space, and suffers an accident. But no one can decipher Dalton's riddles, and the story ends shrouded in mystery. According to Augusto Massi, professor of Brazilian Literature at the University of São Paulo (USP), in a text that provides reading keys and tips for classroom work, \"Dalton masterfully blends reality and fiction.\" Massi also believes that \"turning the corner of the 21st century, the story remains extremely relevant. Just as Dalton Trevisan's moviola recreated the cyclist's odyssey in the space of a single day, illustrator Odilon Moraes managed to capture all the tragic and lyrical elements in a prolonged, cinematic traveling shot.\" The combination of Dalton's fast-paced prose and equally agile illustrations gave rise to Odilon's The Cyclist, a masterpiece that made the writing of one of our greatest living writers accessible to readers of all ages.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176287387900,"sku":"9786585954037","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/e50f6950d92d4b7f9e1afa30daa0d28b.jpg?v=1778874357"},{"product_id":"chuva","title":"Rain","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDalton Trevisan, author of unforgettable short stories and winner of the main literary awards in the Portuguese language – such as the Camões Prize and the Machado de Assis Prize from the Brazilian Academy of Letters (ABL) –, and award-winning artist Eloar Guazzelli come together in this book to capture the essence of \u003cem\u003erainy\u003c\/em\u003e days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In 1951, the Gazeta do Povo newspaper published the first version of \"Chuva,\" a short story by award-winning author Dalton Trevisan. Now, many years later, the story has been republished in a new book illustrated by Eloar Guazzelli, a renowned Brazilian illustrator, comic book artist, and art director.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Rain\"\u003c\/em\u003e is poetic prose that portrays the natural phenomenon as, at once, a setting, a main character, and a supporting character. And as a social phenomenon. In everyone's lives—those indoors or outdoors, downtown or on the outskirts—it is present. Rain prevails over rich and poor, humans and animals, living and dead, making no distinction between place, person, or social class. Everything is transformed with its arrival. And, drop by drop, throughout the story told in this work, a panorama of life in metropolises emerges, marked by the urban problems it causes in everyday life, as well as by the different realities of life we know all too well. \"The story is structured around this dramatic back-and-forth between those besieged outside and those waging a fierce struggle to enter the house,\" writes Augusto Massi, professor of Brazilian Literature at the University of São Paulo (USP), in his text on the work, which provides keys to its reading and guidelines for classroom use. Little by little, Dalton reveals to us a social expression of rain. Through a series of questions, he hints at how rain affects the lives of those who work: 'What happened to the Turks selling apples on the street?'; 'Guards open their arms on the street corner and whistle: 'Why is it raining, Sir?'; 'And the ice cream vendor, what does he do with his ice cream?'\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe illustrations by award-winning artist Eloar Guazzelli brilliantly complement what Dalton Trevisan wrote in the early 1950s, reflecting aspects of our reality to this day. After all, since the beginning of time, and there's no way to change this fact, rain has been beating down on everyone's head, roof, and chimney. Although Dalton, throughout his career as a short story writer, never intended to write for children, in \u003cem\u003e*Chuva*\u003c\/em\u003e we see the intensity of his prose balanced with the sensitivity of Guazzelli's illustrations, making this small masterpiece accessible to readers of all ages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176291647740,"sku":"9786585954044","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/127831134ca6f731d7ef34fde6f54261_1225fd98-d5e1-4243-b8e4-776fd5df8c46.jpg?v=1779765838"},{"product_id":"cemiterio-de-elefantes-1","title":"Elephant cemetery","description":"Drunk in bars and parks, miserable and unhappy, old newspapers folded in their pockets, very white girls one step away from death or one step away from pleasure, sad, lonely types, hidden loves, empty streets, light rain. Overweight or too thin, dirty and sick, anguished, lost or wanting to be lost. These are the characters of Dalton Trevisan, a 76-year-old Curitiba native who is one of the most important living Brazilian writers, a master of the short, dry story, sharp as the cold Curitiba wind, the setting for his characters. It is through its streets that the fish market elephants walk, or drag themselves, Dinorá, the girl of pleasure, the fat Carlota and her daughter Lili, Dorinha weak of heart. Ordinary characters, in stories where there are no great tragedies or exceptional subjects, as Fausto Cunha says in the introduction to this Elephant Cemetery, and who advises the reader: \"Don't worry about the stories. If they don't end, it's because the characters have returned to their normal lives, or Dalton didn't want to accompany them any longer. They are all alive; the distance between the pages of this book and reality is shorter than that between one street and another.\" The setting for his stories, Curitiba is also the hermit's cave of Dalton himself, who debuted in 1945 with Serenata ao Luar (Serenata ao Luar), which he disowns, as well as Sete Anos de Pastor (Seven Years as a Shepherd), published the following year. Between 1946 and 1948, he edited the magazine Joaquim, which featured articles by intellectuals such as Antônio Cândido, Mário de Andrade, and Otto Maria Carpeaux, as well as translations of Joyce, Proust, and Sartre. In 1959, he published *Novelas não exemplares*, which won the Jabuti Prize (along with *Cemitério dos Elefantes*), but which the author did not go to receive. This gave rise to the myth of the recluse who refuses to be photographed, refuses to leave Curitiba, refuses to answer the phone, and communicates with the world through notes signed simply \"D. Trevis.\" A fame that turned the title of one of his books, The Vampire of Curitiba, into a nickname, and which he nurtures, as in the text he used to give to journalists seeking interviews: \"The vampire hates people he doesn't know. He doesn't consider himself a difficult figure; he runs into you every day on every corner of Curitiba.\" He is the author of 34 books, which have been translated into Spanish, English, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, and Danish, and his book The Conjugal War was adapted for the cinema by Joaquim Pedro de Andrade in 1975.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176711471356,"sku":"9788501016539","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/036b5184015a555a76fa5ae5a8684998_8889ca3e-2c15-4b7d-bf63-5b0fb688b335.jpg?v=1776890026"},{"product_id":"234","title":"234","description":"\"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIn \u003cem\u003e234\u003c\/em\u003e , Dalton Trevisan from Curitiba shows a little more of his unmistakable and intense writing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"\"In bed, the husband says:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e — You are fat, yes.
