Luis Sepúlveda - O Caçador Descuidado

"Those who knew him cannot read this book without hearing him, without seeing him, without feeling him."

JOSÉ LUIS PEIXOTO

The Careless Hunter: Collected Poetry (1967-2016) is the pinnacle of a career hitherto unknown: that of Luis Sepúlveda as a poet. In these pages, in a carefully crafted bilingual edition, we find the immense labor that the author always lent to his novels, the same innovation and mastery. With selection and editing by Alejandro Céspedes, a preface by José Luís Peixoto, and translation by João Duarte Rodrigues, this is the missing piece to understand Sepúlveda's world.

THEORY AND PRACTICE
There is nothing
more comical
than seriousness.

Nor anything
more foolish
than common sense.

When man
made these discoveries,
the next day
he invented fire.
