João do Rio
João do Rio was the pseudonym of the Brazilian journalist, short-story writer and playwright João Paulo Emílio Cristóvão dos Santos Coelho Barreto, a Brazilian author and journalist of African descent (August 5, 1881, Rio de Janeiro— June 23, 1921, Rio de Janeiro). He was elected on May 7, 1910 for the chair # 26 of Brazilian Academy of Letters. ==Life== Son of Alfredo Coelho Barreto (a Mathematics teacher and positivist), and Florência dos Santos Barreto (housewife), Paulo Barreto was born in Hospício St., 284 (current Buenos Aires St., in Rio de Janeiro's downtown). He took Portuguese classes in the traditional Colégio de São Bento (São Bento School), where he started to exert his natural endowment for literature. At the age of 15, he was admitted in the ''National Gymnasium''; today, Colégio Pedro II (D. Pedro II school). On June 1, 1899, with less than 18 years, he had a text published for the first time in a newspaper, ''A Tribuna''. Signed with his own name, it was a review entitled ''Lucília Simões'' about Ibsen's play ''A Doll's House'', performed in ''Santana Theater'' (currently ''Carlos Gomes Theater''). Prolific writer, between 1900 and 1903 he collaborated under various pen names with some prominent publications of the time as ''O Paiz'', ''O Dia'' (not the same newspaper of today), ''Correio Mercantil'', ''O Tagarela'' and ''O Coió''. In 1903, he was appointed by Nilo Peçanha for the newspaper ''Gazeta de Notícias'', where he would stay until 1913. It was in this periodical that his most famous pseudonym was born, João do Rio, when on November 26, 1903 he signed an article called ''O Brasil Lê'' (''Brazil Reads''), an inquiry about the literary preferences of the Carioca reader. And, as indicated by Gomes (1996, p.44), "from this time forth, the name that fixes the literary identity swallows Paulo Barreto. Under this mask he will publish all his books and cultivates his fame. Next to the name, the name of the city".
