Click here to buy this book! A life travel with 305 poems, from the abused child to the old man waiting for God's final call, with some tears and some laughs, with dreams and nightmares, but not less, with the sincerity of a poet telling you how it was, how he wished it to be and the scars collected in the long journey. (This time, smiles were included) 305 poems making the portrait of a man that became sad from a childhood without friends living among a disfunctional family. Friends, family and other enemies where part of his pain, teas and miscellaneous. But there also was wars and buddies, misery and fun, and even dreams, a lot of them, some broken, others still being searched for. A globetrotter around the world, sometimes a Civil War Confederate Colonel, other a fun loving one with a weird sense of humor. Soldier, sailor and many other things until he headed his boat for a last leg of a journey that was, perhaps, more longer than expected.    Excerpt This book is not a "diary" but an accumulation of feelings inside the soul, like captives seeds inside a grape trying to break away from their prison, desperately rejecting to be part of an inebriating wine.

Very interested in the book, but far too expensive! Samples of the poetry inside would be more than helpful. How does one view that?

Dear Georg Mateos!!! I read a lot of books in my life, I like, I love a lot of them. YOUR BOOK 'Portrait of a Sad Man'... if I will say that 'I like it,' 'I love it' it will be not enough, not enough to explain how many tears, how much pain and sadness I had in my heart, reading YOUR sentences. This BOOK will live century after century, like Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat. You can trust me, I'm a reader, a lover of BEAUTIFUL SENTENCES. After reading this BOOK, Shakespear himself could kneel in front of YOU, kiss YOUR hand, SHAKESPEAR could tell YOU: GEORG MATEOS, MY LORD, I HAVE TO GIVE YOU MY THRONE-THRONE OF MOST TALENTED WRITER, BECAUSE EVEN MY HEAVENLY BEAUTIFUL SONNETS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH COMPARE TO YOUR 305 TALENTED, MOST BEAUTIFUL, HEAVENLY POEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU, GEORG MATEOS, MAY HE WILL BRING HAPPINESS IN YOUR LONG-LONG LIFE EVERY DAY AND EVERY MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Parabéns, Poeta, do fundo do coração! What a Portrait... what a creation to look forward to viewing with those eyes that see well beyond those of the body! A Portrait to delve into, and feel the tears, the smiles, the heartbeats, the fear, the breath, the sighs, the screams... the eloquence of silences and the rushes of blood, all coursing through the veins of the Poet and seeping into our (the readers) own! Not a diary, as the Poet says... rather, the Poet himself, all flesh and soul, thus Life! Auguro-lhe grande e vivo sucesso, admirado e querido Amigo! Bravo! Um afectuoso e cálido abraço da Alexandra*
