Thiago de Mello

Presently, he is Minister of Culture of the State of Amazonas and has served, on many occasions, in important diplomatic posts in several countries, including Chile and Bolivia.
His literary career began in 1951 with the publication of his book Silencio e Palavra (Silence and Word). Since then, his whirlwind and wondrous creativity has continued unabated. The collection Vento Geral gathers a dozen books published before 1981.

His work was translated into Spanish by Thiago de Mello's close friend, Pablo Neruda, and by Mario Benedetti.
