Synopsis "Rosinha, Minha Canoa (in Portuguese)"

SINOPSE Plano Nacional de Leitura Livro recomendado para o 3º ciclo, destinado a leitura autónoma. Neste hino ao amor e ao respeito pela natureza, seguimos o percurso de Zé Orocó pelas águas do rio Araguaia, envolvido em histórias fantásticas e lendas que ele vai recontando a Rosinha, a sua preciosa canoa. Mas Zé Orocó é arrancado a este mundo de emoção e sensibilidade, onde quem manda é a mãe natureza. Acusado de loucura por falar com a sua canoa, é internado injustamente num hospício. Quando finalmente é «curado», este homem simples mas incompreendido pela sociedade não irá desistir de voltar a abraçar as coisas mais simples e verdadeiras da vida. Uma história profundamente bela e comovente, contada com a mestria reconhecida de José Mauro de Vasconcelos, vencedor do Prémio Jabuti de Romance, o mais importante prémio literário brasileiro.

He is the most read Brazilian writer worldwide. He was born on February 26, 1920, in Bangu, Rio de Janeiro, and, due to his family's poverty, moved to Natal. His life was as adventurous as that of a literary character. He was a boxing coach, fisherman, and bartender, among many other occupations. His novels reflect his vast life experience, his sensitivity towards the less fortunate, and a deep love and respect for nature. With My Sweet Orange Tree (1968), he achieved international recognition, as it was and continues to be one of the most widespread works of Brazilian literature worldwide. The story of this book continues in Let's Warm Up the Sun (1974), about his move to Natal. Vasconcelos won the Jabuti Award, the highest literary honor in Brazil, and was also a screenwriter, theater and television actor, journalist, and visual artist. He died on July 24, 1984, in São Paulo.
