With his willpower, his faith in himself, and his madness, he made his way to the train, which never stopped. Later, as a young man, he took his beliefs to the Mariana seminary, aspiring to be a priest. There, he got into a huge fight with Dona Pietrolina and her late husband, which led him to Ouro Preto, where he met his lifelong love. From Ouro Preto, he went to Barbacena, where he ended up in a mental hospital. From Barbacena, he went to Juiz de Fora \"to join the glorious army of Caxias and thus fulfill his duty to the country.\" And from Juiz de Fora, he passed through several other cities, following his path, always faithful to his purpose of turning Minas Gerais inside out, with confusion and adventures everywhere he went.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs Viramundo wanders the state, Brazil is exposed: cowardice, hunger, abuse of power, hypocrisy, disregard for the poor, fights, and conflicts are some of the themes and events present in the story of this great-small Minas Gerais native, and which are also very common in the daily lives of thousands of Brazilians. However, these adversities are subtly portrayed through the charismatic character and engaging writing of his creator, Fernando Sabino, as well as through the fun and captivating illustrations of Caco Galhardo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e As Rodrigo Casarin, a journalist specializing in literature and a columnist for UOL, rightly points out in the cover story of this unprecedented edition: \" \u003cem\u003eThe great idiot\u003c\/em\u003e presents itself as a beautiful record of life in other times. [...] It first reached readers in 1979. And it gains new life in another artistic expression: comics. The intersection of Sabino's literature with the lines, colors, and perspective of Caco Galhardo is enchanting.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175718240508,"sku":"9788501920157","price":74.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/8850ff579b143f2eaa87f0ef4c080a7d.jpg?v=1778814795","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/o-grande-mentecapto-graphic-novel","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
