Fernando Sabino:
(October 12, 1923 – October 11, 2004) was a Brazilian novelist and journalist.
Sabino was born in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, and lived there until he was twenty, after which he moved to Rio de Janeiro. Sabino wrote fifty books, as well as countless short stories and essays. His first book was published in 1941, when he was only eighteen years old. With his 1956 novel “A Time to Meet,” which tells the story of three friends in Belo Horizonte, Sabino gained national and international fame. The book was inspired by Sabino’s own life story. Sabino also had commercial success with the films “The Great Insane” and “The Naked Man.” Friendship was one of the most important things in Sabino’s life. His circle of friends included Hélio Pellegrino, Otto Lara Resende, Paulo Mendes Campos, Rubem Braga, Clarice Lispector, Vinicius de Moraes, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Mário de Andrade, and Manuel Bandeira. In the last ten years of his life, Sabino avoided public life. Many of his close friends had preceded him in death. Two years before his passing, Sabino was diagnosed with cancer. After a long illness, he died at his home in Rio de Janeiro, one day before his 81st birthday.
