Sinopse

A milestone in Drummond's philosophical and poetic maturity, Claro enigma returns in a new project, with an afterword by Mia Couto.

"And how boring it has become to be modern. / Now I will be eternal," wrote Drummond in a poem from the 1954 book Fazendeiro do ar (Air Farmer). But this distancing from the modernist poetic attitude—with all its euphoria, rebellion, and optimism—came from before. More precisely, from this Claro enigma , published in 1951, when the author was approaching 50 years of age.

The devices of modern poetry begin to coexist with fixed forms, including sonnets, and with rhyme schemes and meters classic in the Portuguese language, such as the redondilha, the decasyllable, and the alexandrine. The playful tone, often present in the earlier works, becomes predominantly serious and elevated here.

As the contradiction in the book's title suggests, Drummond wasn't seeking a simple return to order. A sense of incompleteness, of insolvency, present in several poems, erodes any illusion of stability. This clear enigma demonstrates, above all, that maturity, far from representing a fixed and secure perspective, elevates the concerns and anxieties of youth to a new level.

The new editions of Carlos Drummond de Andrade's work feature texts edited by experts, with unprecedented access to the collection of annotated copies and manuscripts he left behind. In Claro enigma , readers will find an afterword by Camões Prize winner Mia Couto, as well as selected bibliographies by and about Drummond; and the section titled "At the Time of Release," a chronology of the three years immediately before and after the book's first publication.

Complete bibliographies, a chronology of the poet's life and work, and variations in the process of fixing the texts are available via the QR code located on the back cover of this volume.
