Sinopse

Alexander and Other Heroes brings folk stories about heroes and greatness - all of them implausible. Graciliano Ramos unites the real with the imaginary, leaving it up to the reader to demarcate the border between other territories. "Writing should be done the same way the washerwomen of Alagoas do their work. They begin with a first wash, wetting the dirty clothes by the lake or stream, wringing the cloth, wetting it again, and wringing it again. They add indigo, soap it, and wring it once, twice. Then they rinse it, wet it again, this time pouring the water by hand. They beat the cloth on a clean slab or stone, and wring it again and again, wringing it until no water drips from the cloth. Only after all this is done do they hang the washed clothes on a line or clothesline to dry. For anyone who dares to write should do the same. Words were not made to adorn, to shine like false gold; words were made to speak."
