Details
Alcides Castilho Maia was a Brazilian journalist, politician, novelist and essayist. He was born in São Gabriel on September 15, 1878. His father, Henrique Maia de Castilho, was a federal employee. Carlinda de Castilho Leal, his mother, was the daughter of Manuel Coelho Leal, owner of the Jaguari ranch, in the municipality of Lavras do Sul, and also two fractions of the field in São Gabriel, called Tarumã and Guabiju. Alcides Maia spent his childhood on the Jaguari ranch, the setting for many of his regionalist works, especially in the novel Ruínas vivas, which was in essence a nostalgic vision of his ancestor's ranch. Alcides moved to Porto Alegre, where he completed secondary studies. In 1895, when he was 18 years old, he entered the Faculty of Law in São Paulo. His true vocation, however, was literature and journalism, which led him to drop out of law school. Returning to Porto Alegre in 1896, he devoted himself to the practice of activist, even militant, journalism, an activity he would carry out throughout his life.
