Café
Café é o romance inédito tão esperado de Mário de Andrade. Segundo o próprio escritor, o livro seria “um romance de páginas cheias de psicologia e intensa vida”. No universo ficcional, migrante como tantos da mesma região, Chico Antônio passa pela capital, antes de seguir para uma fazenda de café, cultivo que gerou muita riqueza aos paulistas. Aqui, tem-se uma trama muito bem-articulada, personagens vigorosas, capazes de traduzir situações humanas intensas e de ultrapassar, assim, um tempo demarcado historicamente no Brasil. O livro Café teve o texto final fixado por Tatiana Longo Figueiredo, que assina a introdução, o posfácio e a seleção de imagens do caderno final.

About the author
Mário de Andrade
207 books141 followersMário Raul de Morais Andrade was a Brazilian poet, novelist, musicologist, art historian and critic, and photographer. One of the founders of Brazilian modernism, he virtually created modern Brazilian poetry with the publication of his Paulicéia Desvairada (Hallucinated City) in 1922. He has had an enormous influence on Brazilian literature in the 20th and 21st centuries, and as a scholar and essayist—he was a pioneer of the field of ethnomusicology—his influence has reached far beyond Brazil.
Andrade was the central figure in the avant-garde movement of São Paulo for twenty years. Trained as a musician and best known as a poet and novelist, Andrade was personally involved in virtually every discipline that was connected with São Paulo modernism, and became Brazil's national polymath. He was the driving force behind the Week of Modern Art, the 1922 event that reshaped both literature and the visual arts in Brazil. After working as a music professor and newspaper columnist he published his great novel, Macunaíma, in 1928. At the end of his life, he became the founding director of São Paulo's Department of Culture, formalizing a role he had long held as the catalyst of the city's—and the nation's—entry into artistic modernity.
