The Masters and the Slaves: A Study in the Development of Brazilian Civilization by Gilberto Freyre (1964-06-01).

Random House (1964-06-01)

THE PROFOUND AND CHARMING MIND OF Gilberto Freyre, incomparable explicator of Brazilian civilization and one of the world's foremost social historians, is variously revealed in this book of selected writings, many never before translated into English. His subjects range from the English language and the "religious merrymaking" of the Hindus of Queula to the success and failure of Brasilia. He writes about children's books and about the Iberian concept of time, about race and slavery, about age and experience versus youth; he converses with Aldous Huxley, remembers Amy Lowell, sets down his perceptions about his native land, and about himself as a writer and as a sociologist. In forms as disparate as poetry and diaries, in brief, pointed vignettes, and in wonderful passages from his great works of history, these seventy-five selections represent the wide scope of Freyre's concerns, and the grace of his scholarship. The Gilberto Freyre Reader is a sampler of his life and his work.

E o primeiro livro de Gilberto Freyre. Publicado em primeira edicao no Rio de janeiro, em dezembro de 1933, teve enorme repercussao junto ao publico. Abordagens inovadoras de vida familiar, dos costumes publicos e privados, das mentalidades e das inter-relacoes etnicas revelam um painel envolvente e deliciosamente instigante da formacao brasileira no periodo colonial. Da arquitetura real e imaginaria da casa-grande e dos fluxos e refluxos do cotidiano da familia patriarcal, emergiram tracos da convivencia feita de intimidade e dominacao entre senhores e escravos e entre brancos, pretos e indios que marcaram para sempre a sociedade brasileira.Setenta anos e muitas edicoes depois, Casa-Grande & Senzala continua repercutindo. Menos por sua consagracao como uma das obras fundamentais do pensamento brasileiro e mais porque o livro, como queira o autor, mantem-se vivo e contemporaneo. Porque continua a seduzir os leitores. E a desafia-los a uma jornada desbravadora pelas veredas da
