Amigos, amigos, literatura à parte: Vianna Moog e Erico Veríssimo

Résumé

Conservation of primary sources for literary studies finds in correspondence one of its priorities, in times o] efemerity of e-mails and decline of letters in paper. The correspondence between Erico Verissimo and Vianna Moog about O resto é silêncio and the first two volumes ofO tempo e o vento, as well as about Bandeirantes e pioneiros, brings first-hand historical evidence on the genesis of the books, also revealing the critical spirit that can be part of a long lasting friendship
