Sinopse

Considered by literary critics to be one of the most important fictional texts of the Brazilian modernist movement, S. Bernardo , by Graciliano Ramos, debuts in a new paperback edition.

The only edition authorized by the Graciliano Ramos Institute, which donates part of the copyright to the NGO Innocence Project Brasil.

In S. Bernardo, we follow the memories of Paulo Honório, who was an orphan as a child and, from his adolescence until he was 18, worked on the São Bernardo farm in Viçosa, Alagoas. After being arrested for an honor killing and released, his main ambition becomes accumulating wealth and wealth. To achieve this goal, he takes out a loan from a loan shark and begins trading cattle, hammocks, rosaries, and various odds and ends in the backlands.

Facing a series of setbacks, Paulo Honório reacts to everything coldly and resorts to unethical methods to achieve his goals. After accumulating some wealth, he returns to his homeland determined to buy the farm where he had worked in his youth. The transition from employee to employer leaves a profound impression on the narrator-character, who begins to view everything and everyone around him through the lens of the division of labor.

The plot, rich in subtle metaphors disguised by the concreteness of the words, stands out for its complex existential web and the conflicts between the worldviews embodied by the characters. The story of an ambitious and unscrupulous man, the work is a portrait of economic and social inequality, reflecting the reality of a country where land ownership still symbolized absolute power. First published in 1934 and considered by critics to be one of the most important novels of Brazilian modernism, S. Bernardo now returns in a new paperback edition.

Graciliano Ramos

Graciliano Ramos nasceu em 27 de outubro de 1892, na cidade de Quebrangulo, em Alagoas. Entre 1914 e 1915, então no Rio de Janeiro, trabalhou como revisor nos jornais Correio da Manhã, A Tarde e O Século. Em 1933, foi nomeado diretor da Instrução Pública de Alagoas e, ao mesmo tempo, contratado como redator do Jornal de Alagoas. Em março de 1936 foi preso, em Maceió, sem culpa formada, sob a alegação de que seria comunista, passando por várias prisões, em Maceió e Recife. Segue no porão de um navio para o Rio de Janeiro, onde fica quase um ano na cadeia. Em agosto, ainda na prisão, publica o romance Angústia. Em 30 de março de 1953, aos 61 anos, o Mestre Graça — como era carinhosamente tratado — faleceu na cidade do Rio de Janeiro.
