Waldomiro Freitas Autran Dourado (1926 – September 30, 2012) was a Brazilian novelist. Dourado was born in Patos de Minas, state of Minas Gerais. Going against current trends in Brazilian literature, Dourado's works display much concern with literary form, with many obscure words and expressions. Minas Gerais is the setting for most of Dourado's books, resembling the early to mid-20th century regionalist trend in Brazilian literature. Most literary critics consider Dourado's work to have similarities to Baroque literature. In 1981, Dourado won the prestigious Goethe Prize. In 2000, Dourado won the Camões Prize, the most important literary prize in the Portuguese ''sprachraum''. In 2001, Brazilian filmmaker Suzana Amaral released the film ''Uma Vida em Segredo''. It was based on the novel of same title by Autran Dourado. Dourado died of stomach bleeding on September 30, 2012, in Rio de Janeiro. He was 86 years old. == Selected novels == * ''Uma Vida em Segredo'' 1964 - translated as ''A Hidden Life'' * ''Ópera dos Mortos'' 1967 - translated as ''Voices of the Dead'' * ''O Risco do Bordado'' 1970 - translated as ''Pattern for a Tapestry'' * ''Os Sinos da Agonia'' 1974 - translated as ''Bells of Agony'' * ''Ópera dos Fantoches'' 1995 * ''As Imaginações Pecaminosas'' (Goethe Prize for Literature 1981) * ''A Serviço Del-Rei'' 1984 * ''Confissões de Narciso'' 1997 Novels with English translations are posted above with their American titles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Autran Dourado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
