A Televisão Da Bicharada eBook

Portuguese writer, born in 1920, in Lisbon, and died on December 9, 1982, in Brazil. He took a commercial course in Lisbon, where he performed small commercial functions until he left for the former Belgian Congo in 1944. There he participated in initiatives to denounce, from abroad, the situation of fascist domination experienced in Portugal. From 1962, he settled in Brazil. In the period between the publication of Beco (1941) and Passagem de Nível (1942) and his departure for Africa, he belonged to the youth group from which Coimbra Neorealism emerged, and his best-known poetic works were located in those years. In 1950, he even published in Portugal Companheira dos Homens, a work that reinforces the option for a militant and intervention poetry. The creative breath only regained its fluency in Brazil, then embarking on new domains of expression such as fiction and children's literature. An important figure of Portuguese Neorealism (being the author of one of the volumes of the "Novo Cancioneiro" collection) and one of its main poets, he published, among other works, The Children's Eyes (1963), The Wounded Bird (1972) and April Poems (1974).
