Montes-Claridades

Montes-claridades is a walk through the people, streets and entities of Montes-Claridades, in an enthusiastic walk of someone present in many of the mentioned facts, at the same time living the event and reporting it to immortality. They are chronicles written in different times, and you can imagine when it was, by the narrated fact and by the characters, alive and dead. The theme “street names” is recurrent in the work, and, when

waiting for us, there is a picturesque detail and pure surprise. Rua Dr. Santos, which pays homage to the doctor Antônio Teixeira de Carvalho, known as Doutor Santos, was the path of the boy Wanderlino Arruda. He went back and forth, whether as a salesman, news worker, or resident of a boarding house on that street, and then the Hotel São José, being able to, photographically, draw each building with words, detailing the characters inside it.
