Alexandre is a storyteller from the Northeastern backlands, half hunter, half cowboy, tall, thin, already elderly, and with a crooked eye. In the 14 entertaining stories in "Stories of Alexandre ," this talkative man recounts very true events, without exaggeration and always striving for honesty.
In this Northeast region, before radio and television, it was through fantastic stories, passed down orally, that people entertained themselves and shared their folklore and traditions. Gathered around Alexandre, listeners are even willing to forgive any slip-ups, especially when his wife, Cesária, is always ready to confirm what her husband says...
Now, join Mr. Libório, blind Firmino, Das Dores, and all the other curious people as you too listen to Alexandre's stories. Learn how he tamed a jaguar, bought a lawyer parrot, and saved a leaky canoe, and dive headfirst into these quintessentially Brazilian adventures.
