Carlos Drummond de Andrade - A Rosa do Povo

The most influential Brazilian poet of the 20th century.

From Rio de Janeiro in 1945, with a privileged view of a world undergoing violent transformation, Drummond de Andrade concludes "A Rosa do Povo" (The Rose of the People), containing some of his best—and most political—poems.

With unparalleled sensitivity and lucidity, he pays tribute to a Europe devastated by a barbaric war and to the millions who perished in it, and reflects on his own values ​​and ideals, on his daily human condition, afflicted by fears and affections, tormented by permanence and change.

One of the most expressive works of the Brazilian modernist movement, "A Rosa do Povo" is also a legacy about the multiple beauty of life, where past and present, war and peace, city and countryside, love and death are testimonies to the infinite richness of all that exists.
