Érico Veríssimo

Érico Veríssimo was born on 17 December 1905 in Cruz Alta, in the far south of Brazil, into a well-off family that his father's ruin scattered. After the failure of his pharmacy, he settled in Porto Alegre in 1930, joined the Revista do Globo and later headed the editorial department of the Globo publishing house, while translating English authors. He taught in the United States from 1943 to 1945 and from 1953 to 1956 directed cultural affairs at the Pan American Union, in Washington. He died in Porto Alegre in November 1975.
