(see sugar orange)

he is the author who leaned the tree while it was wet. he is one of the guys who made 80's children love to read.

his works such as 'wild banana, my boat rosinha, my brother the wind, my brother the sea, the sugar orange, let's wake up the sun, the fireworks, the story of the pissy, the red parrot, the japanese palace, the crystal sail, the naked street' have been translated into turkish, the novel that brazil has given to world literature. is the story writer. the author, who reflects the socio-cultural environment in which he grew up in his works, has found a wide readership all over the world.

in addition, his work called sugar orange was read by many people who had secondary school education in our country in the 90s (with the assignment of turkish teachers). the most well-known novel character of the author, who opens the horizon in the imagination of the readers, is "zeze"; 'sugar orange' refers to the childhood of zez, 'let's wake the sun', adolescence, and 'fireworks' refers to his youth. the author says that the character described in this trilogy has quite a lot of parts from his own life.

the writer, who has a great writing power. he is extremely close to the people of his land, and includes the details of his autobiography in most of his works. he was born to a local mother, and his father was from portugal, if i am not mistaken. zeze's life is his life, he wrote his trilogy based entirely on himself and combining with his dreams. he also lived with latin american indians for months to write his works afterwards ( it only makes up 10% of the continent)

although his more famous works, i think his best works are wild bananas and my brother the wind, my brother the sea. in the wild banana, he describes two men who are mining, one large, a gigantic man who can open beer caps with his finger, and the other is his best friend. my brother is the wind, and my brother the sea, as the name suggests, is the story of one of the brazilian sailors, but most of the story takes place in brazil's coldest and most continental climate.

in his books, sailors, micros, miners, workers who plow salt in saltpans, street vendors, children who shout "watermelon" when it smells of sharks (thanks to which we learned that a shark smells like watermelon), mothers who love their children very much, brothers who are madly attached to each other are in the foreground. and of course, incurable poverty is the book that most touched the lives of the natives.

whenever i am bored and life feels meaningless, if i am unhappy, i take one of his books and open a random page and read. every time i read it, all the pages pass before my eyes one by one, i suffocate with great sadness and suddenly tears begin to flow from my eyes ...
if i fill thousands of pages, i can't describe what's inside ...

he replied to the journalist, who asked how he wrote the sugar orange in a week, "but i have carried it in my heart for more than 20 years."

i remember being captivated at a young age when zeze's brother toto * told zeze the concept of singing from within. after that, i remember whenever i was in a crowd i sang inside and whenever i was alone i sang outside. (see: sugar orange)

but i don't sing much right now.
