O conto A third margem do rio was published in book Primeiras estórias, by Guimarães Rosa, released in 1962.
A short narrative is a work-first that multiplies questions not read, or entanglement revolves around a homem who leaves everything to go nursery, sozinho, in a canoe, no meio do river.
I summarize
Or told and narrated by a personagem not named that does not manage to understand the peculiar escort of the country. The first paragraphs of the text or narrator affirms that either country was an absolutely normal creature, with vulgar rotines and any stranger. A family, composed by pai, mãe, irmão and irmã, and portrayed as a family qualquer do interior Brasiliro.
At some point, I decided to build a canoe. No barnacle is a reason for the decision, but a construction follows, despite two stranhamentos. Finally, a canoe fica soon e o pai part with a small boat.
We are happy and careful, we are pai encalcou or chapéu and decide um adeus for people. Nem falou other words, no pegou matula e trouxa, no fez a alguma recommenção. Nossa mãe, to achou people that she esbravejar, but persisted undergoing pale, mascou or beiço e bramou: - "Cê vai, ocê fique, you never turn!" Nosso pai suspended in response. He spied meekly for me, stealing me from going too, for a few steps. I was afraid of the anger of nossa mãe, but I obeyed, from time to time jeito. Or rumo daquilo animava me, chega que um purpose perguntei: - "Pai, or senhor take me together, nessa sua canoa?" He only returned or olhar em mim, and threw me to bênção, with a gesture sending me back. Fiz que vim, plus ainda virei, na grota do mato, to know. Nosso pai entered the canoe and unmoored, paddling hair. E a canoe saiu se indo - in the shadow of the same, feito um jacaré, Comprida longa.
Nosso pai não voltou. He has not been to any part of it. He only executes the invention of staying in those spaces of the river, from middle to middle, always inside the canoe, so as not to jump, never again. A estranheza dessa verdade deu to show people everything.
You are welcome to ask two relatives and friends to stand in the water beira, imploring the little fellow to return. He remains la, ilhado, sozinho, na perenidad do tempo. As moves are appearing as two days progress: hair grows, pele darkens the sun, as unhas huge ficam, or body defined of lean. Or pai transform-se numa species of bug.
O filho, narrador do conto, com pena do pai, he commands, as hidden, roupas e mantimentos. Enquanto isso, na casa sem or patriarca, I find alternatives to dribble that absence. He first summons his signature to help us business, depois entrust a master to you.
Até that the narrator is getting married. To me, distraught, she does not allow me to have a party. When the first child is born, a filha will be able to show the baby or the most recent year to hope that he will return. Nothing or deviates, therefore, from your goal of staying in the canoe.
Apostle or marriage of the birth of the baby, to irmã vai embora as husband. To me, turned upside down in the miserly situation of her husband, she ends up moving to casa da filha. O irmão do narrador also part rumo à cidade. Or narrator, porém, decides to stay there, attending escort do pai.
A revival of the story happens when the narrator takes courage and vai the dizer that oil takes or place of the canoe. He says: "Pai, or senhor is velho, já fez or seu tanto... Agora, or senhor vem, does not lack more... O senhor vem, e eu, agora the same, when he seja, to both vontades, eu took or seu place of him, do senhor, na canoa... "
O pai, surprisingly, oil sugestão do filho. Desperate, or rapacious, he turns back to a feita offer and a foge of despair. Or do I count myself with questions: o que foi feito do pai? What has been or destiny of the filho? For what reason does a little guy leave you to live isolated in a canoe?
