More than that, she wanted a large litter, unlike what had happened to her, who was born alone -- as is the case with elephants, who keep their only offspring in their bellies for two years and don't think about the next one for a long time. The dream came true: she got married, many children were born, then grandchildren, and she became the center of this much-desired world, whose address was a huge house whose door was always unlocked and whose kitchen was filled with jars of fruit jam in syrup. Like a lake on the African savannah, it was the place where everyone could quench their thirst. But there is also something unpredictable in this story.

FAR FROM GERAIS BUY NELSON CRUZ 20,5X24 cm | 72 pages | BRL 65 ISBN 978-65-89835-40-0 Hans Christian Andersen Award finalist illustrator 2024 - Nelson Cruz This story began to take shape in the mind of artist Nelson Cruz from the image of the writer João Guimarães Rosa riding the mule Balalaika alongside several cowboys, accompanying the driving of a cattle in the interior of Minas Gerais in 1952. "One day, I felt that the image had become an idea that disturbed my mind in such a way that it seemed to have taken on a life of its own. The ideas started coming in quantity and disorderly", says the author. So it began a period of research, in which Nelson produced more than two hundred drawings. But the story still lacked a voice. One day, in an interview with the cowboy Zito, he discovered who would be his narrator: a boy of around nine years old who had accompanied the journey. More than seventy years later, this trail that inspired one of the most important works by Guimarães Rosa, Grande sertão: veredas (The devil to pay in the backlands), is once again traversed by Nelson and his boy in this edition of ÔZé.
