Lúcia Benedetti (March 30, 1914 in Mococa, São Paulo – 1998 in Rio de Janeiro) – was a Brazilian storyteller, writer of Children's Literature, novelist, playwright, chronicler and translator.[1]
Biography
Lucia Benedetti was born in Mococa and was the daughter of Dominique Benedetti (tailor / musician) and D. Leocadia M. Benedetti [2] As a student based in Rio de Janeiro she began writing short stories, essays and fictional stories for the magazine O Ensaio.
She graduated in pedagogy at the Bittencourt Silva School in Niterói.
In 1932 she received a degree in legal science, but she never practiced as an attorney.[2]
While working as a teacher, she wrote for the newspaper A Noite. At this carioca newspaper, she met her husband, the journalist, playwright and writer, Raimundo Magalhaes Júnior,[3] whom she married in 1933.
In 1942 the couple moved to the United States, where Magalhaes Júnior worked with Nelson Rockefeller and for the New York Times. Lucia Benedetti became a correspondent for the New York Times and worked for the paper until 1945.[4]
At that time she wrote her first novel, Chico Vira Bicho e outras histórias, in collaboration with her husband. However, the literary work that marked her debut as a writer, was Entrada de serviço, published in 1942.[5]
Lúcia Benedetti is considered the precursor of the theater for children in Brazil, with the O Casaco Encantado (1948), staged by Companhia Artistas Unidos.
The dramatic works of Lucia Benedetti were staged in countries like Portugal and Argentina.[6]
Lucia Benedetti is the mother of Rosa Magalhães.
