Às vezes dá vontade de chorar feito criança – Os diários de guerra 1943–1945
Às vezes dá vontade de chorar feito criança – Os diários de guerra 1943–1945 (“Sometimes you want to cry like a child – The war diaries 1943–1945”) is a facsimile edition of Heinrich Böll’s war diaries that expose the anguish of the German writer in the trenches and hospitals of the Second World War.
This edition reproduces in its original size the three notebooks left by the future writer, who would win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972, and below them the transcripts of his nervous handwriting. The graphic design of Laura Lotufo uses several visual resources to assemble a network of information that clarify or complement the original notes, through excerpts of letters, technical data, and, future works by Böll and Army reports.
Most headlines use Agena Display. Texts are set in Tiempos, while Ofelia Text is used for transcripts of the diaries. Marginal notes and other small texts use Elza and Elza Narrow.
