A Alma Encantadora das Ruas (The Charming Soul of the Streets), by  João do Rio is where Once again João do Rio reveals his love for Rio through poetry. A love that sees 'beauty and misery side by side, a complex Rio, personified streets, inexhaustible sources of materials, poems which address, observe, reflect and reveal inequalities under the same, amazing sky'. The author invites the reader to wander along the paths described in his work and witness, through the short narratives, several scenes, often left unnoticed by us, the everyday people who make up the landscape.
