Abstract

The first Brazilian edition was published in the following year: A cidade das letras. São Paulo: Brasiliense, 1985. It is important to point out that Rama was strongly connected to Brazilian culture and literature, having lectured in the University of São Paulo in 1974, a subject matter under the responsibility of Antonio Candido, and returned to Brazil in 1980 and 1983, only two months before the air accident that killed him.
