Curran's Cordel Connection

La Literatura De Cordel Brasileña: Antología Bilingüe en Espanol y Portugues

LiteraturaCordelAntologiaBilingue

Madrid: Editorial Orígenes, 1991, 211 pp.

This book was commissioned by Editorial Orígenes in Madrid with the purpose of making Brazil’s cordel tradition available in a bilingual text to Spanish readers.  Its owner was cognizant of the relationship between the folk-popular poetry tradition of Spain’s romancero, its offspring the poesía gaucha y gauchesca of Argentina, the corridos of Mexico and Brazil’s cordel.  The book consists of an introductory chapter to the cordel in Spanish and an anthology of fourteen well-known story-poems from cordel , among the most famous and indicative of the “vast universe” of cordel.  The text of each of the poems is in facing colums: the Brazilian Portuguese original on the left, the colloquial Spanish translation on the right.  Each poem has an introduction in Spanish which explains its thematic type.  One has an excellent idea of what cordel is all about after reading this book.
