Pedro Bloch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedro Bloch (1914 in the Ukraine - February 23, 2004 in Brazil) was a famous Brazilian writer. His family imigrated to Brazil at the beginning of the twentieth century. He is famous for his plays, such as Dona Xepa and Mãos de Eurídice. Also, he wrote more than a hundred books, one of which is Pai, me compra um amigo?
Bloch was a musician, a playwriter, and a physician; he had been a member of the National Faculty of Medicine since 1937.
More than 50 of the books he wrote were inspired by his experiences taking care of children. His most renowned play was As Mãos de Eurídice, which debuted on May 13, 1950 and which went on to be performed more than 60,000 times in more than 45 different countries. Two years later, he created another success, Dona Xepa, which was even turned into a soap opera on the Rede Globo network. Pedro Bloch's interest in theater stemmed from the actors who used to visit him.
Pedro Bloch died at the age of 89 of respiratory insufficiency in his apartment in Copacabana. His grave is in the Cemitério Comunal Israelita in Rio de Janeiro.
[edit] Example text
- A little girl was talking with her teacher. Her teacher said that it impossible for a whale to eat a human being as even though this is a very big mammal, its throat is small. The little girl claimed that Jonas was eaten by a whale. Mad, the teacher repeated that a whale could not eat a single human being; it was physically impossible. Then, then little girl said:
- - "When I die and go to heaven, I'll ask him."
- Her teacher asked her:
- - "And what if it turns out that Jonas is in hell?"
- The little girl answered:
- - "Then it will be you who will ask him."
