Launched in 1996, “Livro sobre nada” is one of Manoel de Barros' most important works. The title, which came from Gustave Flaubert's phrase “I've always wanted to write a book about nothing”, was immediately popular with the public and is still one of his best-known books. Divided into four parts, it features short poems in which he deconstructs language to reorganize a world singular, in which he strongly expresses his adherence to everything that is unimportant, solitary or empty. As he himself explains to the reader, “the ‘nothing’ in my book is really nothing”.
