About this app

Welcome to Arte&Cordel, an exclusive and free app that celebrates the rich and vibrant tradition of cordel literature and woodcuts. Available free of charge, Arte&Cordel offers lovers of popular culture a vast collection of more than 200 cordel verses and old woodcuts. Our goal is to preserve and share this traditional art form, making it accessible to everyone.

Discover the Magic of Cordel
Cordel literature is a cultural and literary manifestation that flourished in northeastern Brazil. These small leaflets, often hung on strings, hence the name "cordel", tell fascinating stories, legends, romances, and historical events. Cordel verses are characterized by their meter and rhyme, creating a rhythmic and engaging reading.

At Arte&Cordel, you will find a wide variety of themes that range from heroic adventures to tragic romances, including fairy tales and mystery stories. Each verse is a window into the soul of the Brazilian people, reflecting their joys, sadness, beliefs and traditions. Our collection is carefully curated to offer both beloved classics and rare, lesser-known works, providing an enriching experience for readers of all ages.

Woodcut: The Visual Art of Cordel
In addition to verse, Arte&Cordel also presents an impressive collection of woodcuts, the visual art that traditionally illustrates the covers of cordel leaflets. Wood engraving is a printing technique that involves carving images into wooden blocks, which are then used to print the illustrations. This artisanal process results in images with great visual impact, with strong lines and striking contrasts.

The woodcuts are not just illustrations, but true works of art that complement and enrich the texts in the cordel. In our app, you can explore these beautiful images, which range from epic scenes to detailed character portraits, offering a visual immersion into the cordel narrative.
