Veríssimo

[ vuh-ree-si-moo ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

É·ri·co Lo·pes [e, -, r, i-k, oo, , law, -p, uh, s], 1905–75, Brazilian novelist.

The judgment of Verissimo upon Machado de Assis differs somewhat from that of his distinguished compatriots.

In this sense Verissimo would deny the existence of a Swiss, or a Belgian, literature.

According to Verissimo, Innocencia is one of the country's few genuinely original novels.

Verissimo goes on to imply that such a work as this merits comparison with the humane books of Tolstoi.
