Lp.vitor: Creating pager about short story Primeiras Estórias
"'''The third bank of the river'''" is the most famous [[Guimarães Rosa]]'s [[short story]], published in his book ''[[Primeiras Estórias]]'' (First Stories), in 1962.
It is narrated in [[First-person narrative|first person]] by the son of a man who decides to leave the family and the whole society to live within a small [canoe] in a huge [[river]].
Guimarães Rosa uses several expressions and culture facts of specif regions of Brazil (which is known as regionalism in the literature), but the tale is however universal, dealing with great dilemmas of human existence. It is written in poetic [[prose]] and has sentences that play with specific orality of [[Brazilian Portuguese]].
== Criticism and interpretations ==
=== Alienation ===
In a article from February 1966 about the short stories of the book "First Stories" and the general work of Guimarães Rosa, [[Paulo Rónai]] concludes that "The third bank of the river" deals with the [[alienation]] that is "accepted as a painful part of life's routine when it is gradually declared."<ref>Rónai, 1966, p.22</ref> The narrator of the tale starts to infect himself with the [[dementia]] of his father.<ref>Rónai, 1966, p.26.</ref>
===Orality===
About [[orality]], Rónai observes that the tales of "First Stories" use idioms that we are accustomed to hear in the mouths of people and that, in their fruity vigor, give delicious flavor and energy to the [[popular speech]]. He uses as examples the following sentences extracted from this short story: "Nosso pai nada não dizia.", "Do que eu mesmo me alembro", "Nossa casa, no tempo, ainda era mais próxima do rio, obra de nem quarto de légua", "perto e longe de sua família dele", "avisado que nem [[Noé]]".<ref>Rónai, 1966, p.31-32.</ref>
Rosa, therefore, would not be a writer who merely reproduces [[popular language]], as he uses neologisms and idioms in a way that, for Rónai, is "so provocatively original".<ref name="Ronai32">Rónai, 1966, p.32.</ref>.
=== Neologisms ===
As stated earlier, Rosa not only portrays a popular and peasant speech, but also invents new words and terms in his texts. On "The third bank of the river", the [[neologism]] "diluso" is a possible variant of "diluto" or "diluído" (diluted, dissolved).<ref name="passeiweb">[https://ift.tt/2Nf0ccP A terceira margem do rio (Conto de Primeiras estórias), de Guimarães Rosa].

=== Popular music ===
