Bazófias de um cantador pai d'égua: o maior cordel do mundo

Abstract

Officially, there are one thousand four hundred verses in the form of septets that give life to the Greatest Cordel in the World. The literary journey goes from Pangea to the apocalypse, with a stop in outer space, a dive into the ocean trenches; from the present to the past and future of the history of humanity. The greatest Cordel in the world is complete, mythological, creator of prophecies with its anthological verb, it emerges from the mud of the flood, the depths of Vesuvius in an eschatological suddenness. It comes to undo the logical, to turn hurricanes around, to drive every head crazy, to conquer hearts, to tame the wild countryman, that's how it is, when I get stuck between the sea and the backlands. Work prefaced by the poet Oliveira de Panelas (2010, p. 3) who expressed: The greatest cordel in the world, by this singer father of a mare, is a work of great scope, only those who begin it know its weight, and at the end, say with a pampered and fulfilled ego [...]. I saw, I read, I was impressed by so much creativity in a single head. Congratulations, my friend, singer father of a mare, you are unique, and your work is of immeasurable value.
