Contos folclóricos brasileiros

Marco Haurélio. Illustrations by Mauricio Negro. Paulus.

141p. ISBN 9788534931267

Starting from the proposal of preserving our popular memory and traditions, poet and folklorist Marco Haurélio, professor of the Bahia State University, presents a collection of folk tales, the result of painstaking research effort by his students. These are tales collected in Igaporã, Brumado, and Serra do Ramalho, in the state of Bahia and in the Ceará region of the Canindé. Loyalty to oral tradition may be observed when the author maintains the typical words of popular language as they were used by the original storytellers. The careful edition and Maurício Negro’s illustrations constitute an art that is complementary to Marco Haurélio’s art of popular narrative, resulting in a beautiful book. (MB)
