About the author
Born in Rio de Janeiro on May 16, 1893, Ronald de Carvalho became known as a Brazilian poet, writer, journalist, politician, and diplomat. He lived during a period of major cultural change in Brazil, and his career crossed literature and public service in a way that makes him stand out among writers of his generation.
He is remembered as part of the modernist movement and for his connection to important literary circles in Brazil and Portugal. Alongside poetry, he also worked in criticism and public life, bringing a broad, outward-looking perspective to his writing. That mix of artistic ambition and civic involvement gives his work a distinctive place in Brazilian literature.
Carvalho died in Rio de Janeiro on February 15, 1935, at just 41 years old. Even with a relatively short life, he left behind the image of a writer deeply engaged with both the literary experiments and the national debates of his time.
