Sinopse

The only edition authorized by the Graciliano Ramos Institute, with a portion of the royalties going to the NGO Inoccence Brasil. Graciliano Ramos unites the real with the imaginary, leaving it up to the reader to demarcate the boundaries between other territories in this new edition of his classic work.

Alexander and Other Heroes features folklore stories about heroes and greatness—all of them implausible. "In a way, the work represents a surrender by Graciliano Ramos, who decided to relent on the forcefulness with which he sought to expose the inhospitable conditions of the region where he was born.

The reader leaves the pages with the impression that the author has momentarily interrupted his combative disposition and sought to come to terms with the reality he so desperately wanted to transform. After pursuing the imaginative plot in his texts, the fiction writer would now even embrace the anecdote. Drama has given way to humor and the exotic.

Alexandre's personality, well-crafted, is the main beam that supports the entire narrative,” as Rui Mourão wrote in the work's Afterword.
