- This essay-conference reports the impressions of a reader and a writer who finds in Erico Verissimo’s work one of the fundamental references of his formation. Describing the background of his experiences of O Continente, he recalls the role of Romanticism and Realism in the further literature of the countryside and of the city, in the figures of Alencar and Machado, and analyzes the narrative objectivity and syntactic cleanliness of language, in addition to the role of the narrator, who observes his characters with a cinematographic eye and never as the author’ ventriloquist.
