Book Description:
Paulicea Desvairada – livro de Mário de Andrade, publicado em julho de 1922. A leitura de trechos deste livro foi um dos pontos altos - e polêmicos - da Semana de Arte Moderna. Além do “prefácio interessantíssimo”, que aborda as bases do modernismo brasileiro, o livro traz 23 poemas. Paulicea Desvairada é escrito em tom irreverente, combativo e versos livres, sem métrica nem rima. Em suma, o livro traz a base da arte moderna e é considerado obra-semente da literatura moderna brasileira. Com ele, como o próprio autor diz, “está fundado o desvairismo”.
