    Brazil in the 1920s was going through many transformations. A new republic was shedding old moralities. Agrarianism was urbanizing. Social mobility was cutting across classes. A nation in search of a new culture was reaching out to the sophistication of Europe.In this setting, Mário de Andrade tells the story of a Brazilian teen and a young German woman. He was born into a wealthy family; she was trying to make a living away from her country, carrying the emotional baggage of the Great War in the Old World. He was a student, she a teacher. But her lessons would soon go beyond language, literature, and music.She'd also learn a little something herself. Brazilian culture, in those heady boisterous years, was complicated. Love was taking on new meaning. Could love be a transitive verb, uniting subject and object? Or would it best be left intransitive, a subject all alone with an emotion?Mário de Andrade's unique use of language and his insights into life contributed to an upheaval in not only in Brazilian culture but in Brazilian literature, inspiring the nation's Modernist movement. This bilingual edition presents the original Portuguese alongside Ana Lessa-Schmidt's careful and creative English interpretation of Andrade's Modernist style.

    "Nogle facts. Ikke dem alle. Uden konklusioner. For den der accepterer mig er begge dele unyttige. De nysgerrige vil have den fornøjelse at kunne studere mine konklusioner ved at konfrontere værk og facts. For den, der afviser mig, er det spildt møje at forklare, hvad vedkommende afviser, inden han har læst det.""Paulistiansk delirium" fra 1922 er en af de mest indflydelsesrige digtsamlinger i moderne brasiliansk poesi. Den består af digte i alle mulige forskellige former: Nogle er inddelt i de traditionelle vers og strofer, mens andre er monologer, dialoger, sammenblanding af alt muligt forskelligt – kort sagt, modernisme, når det er bedst!Mário de Andrade (1893-1945) er en af Brasiliens største digtere.
