About the author
Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1893, Ronald de Carvalho was a Brazilian poet, writer, diplomat, and public figure whose career bridged literature and national life. He is remembered as part of the generation that pushed Brazilian writing toward modernism in the early 20th century.
He was linked to the influential magazine Orpheu and is often described as an important voice in the cultural atmosphere surrounding Brazilian modernism. Alongside poetry, he also worked in diplomacy and public service, giving his life and writing a wider political and international dimension.
Carvalho died in Rio de Janeiro in 1935, at just 41 years old. Even with a relatively short life, he left behind a reputation as one of the writers connected with a formative period in modern Brazilian literature.
