Brazilian Poet Manoel de Barros Dies Aged 97
The author who wrote verses from the “depths of the trifling”, as it features in a poem and one of his books, poet Manoel de Barros died on Thursday morning, November 13th, aged 97, in Campo Grande, in Mato Grosso do Sul state.
He had been in intensive care for over a week after he undergone surgery for bowel obstruction. According to the hospital he died due to multiple organ failure. Manoel de Barros was born in Cuiabá and throughout his life he wrote 18 poetry books, in addition to children's books and autobiographical accounts.
He received several literary prizes, two of which were Jabuti prizes (Tortoise prizes) - one in 1989 for “O Guardador de Águas” and in 2002 for “O Fazedor do Amanhecer”. Barros used to say that “poetry is not supposed to be understood, it is supposed to be incorporated. Understanding it creates a wall. One ought to try to be a tree”. Manoel de Barros was a philosopher who liked to think and rethink the world through poetry. Eucanaã Ferraz has said that Barros was wise and surfaced already as an essential author. Almost half a century went by until his debut in literature: “Poemas Concebidos Sem Pecado” was published in 1937 almost in handmade style, with 21 copies.
The greatest publishing of his works only came in the second half of the 1980s, thanks to the efforts of admirers such as Brazilian writers Millôr Fernanddes and Antonio Houaiss, for whom he was often compared to Saint Francis of Assisi“in his humility before everything”. Even after his tardy success as one of the greatest Brazilian writers of his generation, he stayed true to his origins.
He lived in Corumbá in Mato Grosso do Sul state, with stints in Rio de Janeiro and New York. Since the end of the 1970s, he lived in Campo Grande with his wife, Stella and their daughter, Martha.

Na sentença “Barros was wise and surfaced already as an essential author”, é correto afirmar:
Redu, Belgium — Nearly 40 years ago, books saved this village.
The community was shrinking fast. Farming jobs had disappeared and families were moving away from this pastoral patch of French-speaking Belgium. But in the mid-1980s, a band of booksellers moved into the empty barns and transformed the place into a literary lodestone. The village of about 400 became home to more than two dozen bookstores — more shops than cows, its boosters liked to say — and thousands of tourists thronged the winsome streets.
Now, though, more than half the bookstores have closed. Some of the storekeepers died, others left when they could no longer make a living. Many who remain are in their 70s and aren’t sure what’ll happen after they’re gone.
It’s not just the businesses at risk. It’s Redu’s identity.
Reis Thebault. This village was a book capital. What happens when people stop buying so many books? In: The Washington Post. Internet: www.washingtonpost.com (adapted).
It can be inferred from the last paragraph of the text that not only are the bookselling businesses in Redu at risk, but so is its own identity.

After years away on a foreign posting, coming „home‟ can be overwhelming and isolating.
No place like home
In a Facebook comment, Wendy Skroch dubbed the phenomenon "reverse culture shock". "There is a form of homelessness that goes with all this," she wrote. "The sense of never being at home anywhere is very real." Many people identified with the disheartening struggle to plant roots again upon returning home. Pete Jones, who left the UK in 2000 for a life in Denmark, Holland and Switzerland, wrote: "I do enjoy visiting Blighty for a few days and then feel the need to leave. It is not home anymore!"
