Álvares de Azevedo

Manuel Antônio Álvares de Azevedo was born on 12 September 1831 in São Paulo and grew up in Rio, where he studied at the Pedro II school. Having entered the law faculty of São Paulo, he read Byron, Musset and Heine, and was about to begin his fifth year when a fall from a horse, on his grandfather's farm, forced him to undergo an operation that failed. He died in Rio on 25 April 1852. All his work appeared after his death, collected by his cousin Domingos Jaci Monteiro.
