摘要:The French surrealist poet Benjamin Péret lived in Brazil twice: in 1929- 1931 and in 1955-1956. After a brief account of his hectic multifaceted course of life (1899-1959), this paper aims at giving an idea of the image (and images) that, in his writings, Benjamin Péret provided of urban Brazil during part of his second stay in Brazil. Based on his correspondence (supplemented, when necessary, with other documents), this article focuses on two aspects: on one hand, his view of Rio de Janeiro (sometimes contrasted with his memories of his first stay in the years 1929-1931); on the other hand, his notes and comments concerning the trip that took him to the capital cities of the North and Northeast. The paper ends with a balance that the French writer made of his second stay in Brazil.
