3 unusual facts about Augusto dos Anjos


Augusto dos Anjos

Literary critics are not sure to which literary movement Augusto dos Anjos belong: some say he was a Symbolist and some say he was a Parnassian, although Ferreira Gullar classifies him as being a Pre-Modernist.

Chico Xavier

His first books, Parnaso de Além-Túmulo, containing 256 poems attributed to deceased poets, among them, the two Portuguese João de Deus, Antero de Quental and Guerra Junqueiro and the Brazilians Olavo Bilac, Cruz e Sousa e Augusto dos Anjos, was published for the first time in 1932; the book caused strong admiration and polemic among the literature circle from that time.

Sérgio Lopes

Born on October 27, 1965 in Paraíba, while still in basic education (old primary school), got involved with theater at Colégio Estadual da Liberdade, in Campina Grande, when he knew a friend called Afrânio, with which he shared his own poems or findings from poets such as Augusto dos Anjos and Gonçalves Dias.
