«O gato malhado e a andorinha Sinha» is the children's story by Jorge Amado, published by Leya in paperback (104 pages, in Portuguese).
A love story between a cat and a swallow, two opposite characters who discover that differences do not prevent affection. The narrative conveys tolerance and acceptance with a poetic tone, and Carybé's color illustrations recreate the protagonists' world.
The text was written in 1948 for João Jorge, the author's son, and remained unpublished until its first edition in 1978.
For readers of all ages, especially those seeking illustrated stories and short tales with a poetic backdrop.
Jorge Leal Amado de Faria, known as Jorge Amado, was a Brazilian writer of the modernist school. He remains the best-known of modern Brazilian writers, with his work having been translated into some 49 languages and popularized in film, including Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands in 1976, and having been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature at least seven times. His work reflects the image of a Mestiço Brazil and is marked by religious syncretism. He depicted a cheerful and optimistic country that was beset, at the same time, with deep social and economic differences.
