Descrição

This volume brings together two highlights of Vinicius de Moraes' work. Poems, sonnets and ballads, published in São Paulo in 1946, is probably the poet's most important and most beautiful book. The first edition was just 372 copies, typographically numbered and signed by the author, and illustrated with 22 drawings by Carlos Leão. Since then, the book has not returned to bookstores, although several of its poems have been reproduced in various anthologies and have become famous , such as "Fidelity Sonnet", "Sonnet of the Greatest Love", "Balad of the Mangue", "Balad of Girls on Bicycles", "Christmas Poem", "The Day of Creation" and "Separation Sonnet", among others . The reader now has at hand all the poems - with the texts rigorously fixed - as well as the historic illustrations by Carlos Leão. A single poem was added to Poems, sonnets and ballads, the moving Pátria minha, which appeared as a small book, in 1949, in an edition of fifty copies, made by João Cabral de Melo Neto on his manual press when he lived in Barcelona, ​​under the label O Livro Inconsútil. The volume opens with a notebook of images - many of them unpublished - that situate the books historically and biographically, with reproductions of photos and manuscripts. At the end, the reader will find a precious set of critical texts, including an afterword by José Miguel Wisnik, written especially for this edition.
