{"title":"Flavio Jose Cardozo","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"guata","title":"GUATA","description":"In his debut for Editora Record, Flávio José Cardozo tells the story of the rugged village of Guatá, in the south of the country. Thirteen stories follow the lives of Belmiro Coan, Cilião Palheta, and Rosalvo, Italian immigrants and mixed-race coal miners who share the same space and end up developing a relationship that isn't always friendly. GUATÁ draws heavily from Flávio's personal experience, having grown up in the mining region of Santa Catarina. \"The theme of working-class life was always present. I jotted down memories, ideas, and real characters. If the landscape wasn't before my eyes, it was always alive in a special corner of my consciousness,\" explains the author. The book captures the color, the smell, the topography, the alleys and small houses, the surroundings, and the way of the people, the daily lives of the miners. \"Stories\" that took place in a place that exploited minerals and people. Flávio masterfully captures the behavior of these men. The speech, the fights, the modest amusements, the naive faith in God and the saints, the dreams, the poverty, the death. GUATÁ emphasizes the simplicity of human relationships. \"I tried to learn the most specific details, I consulted old miners about some aspects of the work. But I dared, here and there, to use a few metaphors,\" he says. Although the stories are independent narratives, they interconnect in a striking harmony. With recurring characters, the same space, the same time, GUATÁ has the feel of a novel, with a narrator descending onto a stage of reminiscences. \"He comes through the mountains, descends and talks with former residents, wanders, transcribes thirteen episodes, relives them, and leaves for the valley.\"","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159389257980,"sku":"9788501072535","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/cc6df0911d6d41154c3e57d5c200dbfd_811b774c-9a9e-4ff3-a6f2-24d4ee5761a6.jpg?v=1778324854"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/flavio-jose-cardozo.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
