Music and literature have often been interconnected through the centuries. This is an intellectual and spiritual marriage between two artistic worlds, which are both part of a creative system that lends voice to one another. As this book argues, while music is one single form of expression, literature can be expressed in the form of either poetry or prose. However, they find their apotheosis, their most natural relationship, when poetry is set to music, especially when it is lyrical and has similar phrasing and rhythms to music. The book, thus, shows that music offers an additional perspective to literature, while the latter gives words to the feelings that the former arouses. As such, though both can stand alone, if put together, they form a complementary entity that everybody can enjoy.
Mestre do improviso, estrategista do coração, Vinicius de Moraes (1913-1980) deu forma quase perfeita à nossa experiência da paixão. Durante dois anos o jornalista José Castello realizou centenas de entrevistas com as mulheres, os amigos, os parceiros do poeta; consultou milhares de páginas inéditas, no encalço de seu destino atribulado, repleto de surpresas e reviravoltas.O resultado é o retrato completo de um homem que encantou seus semelhantes, apaixonou-se além dos limites e procurou passar a vida em estado de poesia.Prêmio Jabuti 1995 de Melhor Ensaio e Biografia
