Brazil+Literature

Fernando Sabino1923-2004Sabino died at the age of 81 after diagnosed with cancer. While he was alive he enjoyed writing stories based on his life in Brazil.

Sabino also wrote about the corruption in the government when he was grown up and up to the present. While Brazil's government is still in the process of fixing its own corruption it has made some progress as it is no longer a dictatorship. Sabino's last 10 years of his life were spent at a distance from the media until one day in his home in Rio de Janero he died. As many latin american writers he wrote using elements of magical realism as he tells of his government in the shadows of his words.
