Faced with this challenge, the life story of Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, the bandit who led the most famous band of cangaceiros in the Northeastern backlands, was written with the dramatic power and social grit the author craved. Lampião became a unique figure in the popular imagination. His attire, typical of cowboys and gunmen of the 1920s, his imposing and defiant pose in photographs, and even his thin-rimmed glasses—a rare item for the working classes of those times, which Lampião, blind in one eye, sported—constituted his mythical persona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eRevisiting these more immediate references, Rachel de Queiroz constructed her fearless and, at times, fragile Lampião. Her protagonist challenges the Pernambuco interventor to cede him the governorship of the sertão, but he also becomes wary of the dangers surrounding him, leading Virgulino to seek the spiritual protection of his godfather, Padre Cícero, a religious figure of great prestige in the Northeast. Also prominent in Rachel de Queiroz's play are Corisco, a talented bandit loyal to Lampião, and Maria Bonita (initially presented as Maria Déa), who abandons her husband and children to become the wife of the King of Cangaço, even accompanying him in gun battles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In 1954, \u003cem\u003eLampião\u003c\/em\u003e made his stage debut. Two productions stand out: in São Paulo, at the Leopoldo Fróes Theater, directed by Sérgio Cardoso (who also played Lampião) and starring Araçary de Oliveira as Maria Bonita; and in Rio de Janeiro, at the Municipal Theater, directed by Bibi Ferreira and starring Elísio de Albuquerque in the title role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis special volume reproduces the graphic design of the first edition of \u003cem\u003eLampião\u003c\/em\u003e , published in 1953 by Livraria José Olympio Editora. On the cover, Lampião and Maria Bonita are illustrated by Tomás Santa Rosa, the iconic graphic artist responsible for the projects published by José Olympio in the 1950s. The interior replicates the style of the old movable type printing. The new edition of \u003cem\u003eLampião\u003c\/em\u003e , therefore, celebrates Rachel de Queiroz's exquisite text, which makes a welcome return to the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159802200316,"sku":"9786558471387","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/4060f29170b63051b02addf5dda45f96_535d2c27-f6df-4c89-8dad-10e3f218e2bb.jpg?v=1776895790","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/lampiao","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
