Sinopse

Originally published in 1958, 100 selected chronicles brings together part of the journalistic production, written between 1940 and 1950, by Rachel de Queiroz, the first woman elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters.

Intertwined with humor, irony, and tenderness, the texts in this collection of chronicles present a broad portrait of Brazil and its people, touching on a variety of everyday topics. Readers will find drama, comedy, criticism, serials, dream stories, poetic prose, and "nuclei and embryos of romance," as Antonio Carlos Villaça put it.

According to critic André Seffrin, “Strictly speaking, the author of these chronicles is one of our greatest achievements in the genre, alongside José de Alencar and Machado de Assis, Antonio Torres (the author of Verdades indiscretas) and João do Rio, Cecília Meireles and Rubem Braga, Nelson Rodrigues and Paulo Mendes Campos.”

With her characteristically poignant and observant writing, the author reveals stories that move readers. They are drawn into a disturbing reality, somewhere between terrible and fierce, but which can also be revealed as beautiful through the medium of words.

Rachel de Queiroz used to say, with humility, that journalism was “more of a profession than a vocation”; today, however, as readers of her work, we can observe how the union of journalist and fiction writer came about for the greater good of Brazilian literature represented in this essential anthology: 100 selected chronicles .
