The Fat Chubby King

Pedro Marangoni ( [email protected] ) was born in Brazil in 1949. After living through the troubled 70s in Africa, which experience he used to write the best-seller “Angola, Special Forces against Cubans”, published in Portugal, as well as “The option by the sword”, with two sold out editions, he returned to Brazil having worked for over two decades as an helicopter pilot, accumulating more than 9,000 flight hours, most of it over the Amazon Forest. One of the missions over the jungle gave rise to the work “Quimeras Incas”, available in Spanish with the same title. Under the philosophy header, he published “Infinity in is no hurry” and “Anguish of a flying fish”, available in Italian under the title of “ Angustie di um pesce volante”. “ The Age of No” is his poetic social criticism; the tale “Maria da Silva, apenas um retrato do cotidiano” was also published in Italian as “Maria da Silva, Cronaca Braziliana” and in English as “ Maria da Silva, a glimpse of Brazilian reality”. Other books include “ Home Made Cooking in Brazil in the early 1900’s”; under children’s literature “The Fat Chubby King” and “The Alphabet: Joaninha explains”; and then he turned to paranoia, a sign of our times with “A conspiração de Santo Antonio do Desamparo”. His latest work is the tale “Mist is not eternal”, a tale about widowhood, elderly abuse and an octogenarian love, which has been published in Spanish under the title “Las brumas no son eternas”. Winner of the 9th content edition of the Livro de Graça na Praça / Academia Mineira de Letras in 2015.
