A B S T R A C TThis article aims to perform a narrative review of the book "The mansions and the shanties" written by the Brazilian sociologist Gilberto Freyre, published for the first time in 1936. The study analyzed Gilberto Freyre's contribution to the process of interpreting the formation and modification of the eating habits and patterns of the Brazilian society. The analysis is limited to a review, from a dietician's perspective, of text clippings where Freyre seeks to reconstruct and interpret the process of formation and modification of eating habits and patterns in the context of a patriarchal society. The text will try to answer the questions: what, how much, how, when, where, and with whom were the dwellers of mansions and shanties eating? Comparison of the eating habits of the rural patriarchal society with those of the emerging urban patriarchal society has shown Freyre's clear trend of aversion to the "Europeanization" of eating habits and his affection for traditional culinary values. The new eating habits of mansions and plantation houses were portrayed with disdain, denoting an author who remained stuck to the culinary traditions of a rural patriarchal society, to taste memories, especially of the sweets, cakes, and desserts created, adapted, and savored in Pernambuco state sugar mills.Keywords: Brazilian society.

“…At the end of his report, Dr. Gama Lobo called the attention of legislators to the need for laws aimed at preventing the sequence of problems he outlined. His paper was published in Portuguese and in German but is relatively unknown to the majority of the medical community, although it is now freely available online (11,12) . Recent epidemiologic data from Brazil in a study population of 3,499 children aged between 6 and 59 months and 5,698 women aged between 15 and 49 years revealed that hypovitaminosis A is present in all five regions of Brazil with a prevalence of 17.4% and 12.3% among children and women, respectively (13) .…”

Communication is one of the most used tools in the practice of medicine. Interpersonal communication with patients and families; information to colleagues in the eye meetings or publications; or even communication with the public through the media on a large scale, either through conventional or electronic ways are part of the efficient medical work.Many ophthalmologists contributed to disseminate and advance knowledge by written communication, not just by their genuine observations, but also combining it with the capacity (learned and exercised) to inform them along.The ABO (Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia) has been for decades a repository of new observations and advances in ophthalmology. This is being supported by the continuous voluntary contribution of ophthalmologists and other professionals in communicate their observations. Like other forms of communication, writing also has been changing over time.
