Magical Tome

The outer archives are busy
This book analyses the master-work of Guimarães Rosa, the novel Grande Sertão: Veredas (The devil to pay in the backlands). Under the cover of a regional novel, Rosa discusses problems related to langage, from Saussure's linguistic theories to Plato's dialogues. The most intriguing question arises from the mysterious death of the novelist: did he conclude a deal with Devil or did he just simply planned his ending page?
