O encontro da cidade criança com o sertão menino

Marco Haurélio. Illustrations by Laerte Silvino. Editora do Brasil. 32p.

ISBN 9788510068888

This cordel poem, illustrated with woodcuts, tells the story of José Silva and Joãozinho, two children with different lives. The first one lives in the country of Brazil, and the second lives in a big city. This friendship, full of strangeness between the children, shows the differences between the northeastern backwoods of Brazil and some big cities. (LW)

Tristão e Isolda em cordel

Marco Haurélio. SESI-SP. 96p. ISBN 9788550407944

The Celtic culture has given us many stories. Tristão e Isolda is an example of this legacy as a unique story from which romantic love imbibes these marks: a passionate hero, the magic power and the power of love. However, in addition to this well-known novel, we have a story built in the form of a Cordel Literature, a singular construction from the Brazilian popular culture. The work of Marco Haurélio translates into a poetic format this beautiful and secular love story. (VS)
