This is the first book in English devoted to the woodcuts that
illustrate that Brazilian literatura de cordel. This string
literature, the inexpensive pamphlets often displayed on thin cords
hung between posts, is the work of the virtuosos popular poet of
the backlands of Northeast Brazil. The passionate narratives are by
turn realistic and fantastic, comic and tragic, and reflect the
realities and the dreams of the Brazilian poor. Published all over
Brazil, these stark woodcuts have all the power, quickness, and wit
of great popular art.
