| Summary |
"Obras Poéticas de Gregorio de Mattos Guerra - Tomo I" is a collection of poetry preceded by the poet's life written in the late 19th century. This edition presents, for the first time, a compilation of the numerous works of Gregorio de Mattos, an influential Brazilian satirical poet known for his sharp critiques of society through satire. The collection celebrates his literary contributions while also providing context about his life and the historical background of his works. The opening of the book discusses the efforts to compile the author's poetry after nearly two centuries since his death, highlighting previous publications and manuscript collections that included only a fraction of his work. It introduces Gregorio de Mattos, born in Bahia, as a significant figure in Brazilian literature, renowned for his biting satire that addresses societal vices and governance issues of his time. Furthermore, it touches upon the complexities of his biographical details and the discrepancies found in historical accounts about his life, setting the stage for an exploration of both his poetic artistry and his tumultuous existence.
