Estudo de história da cultura que analisa o impacto das novas tecnologias nos processos de metropolização, tendo como ponto de partida a cidade de São Paulo e sua produção literária e jornalística nos anos 20, os ímpetos revolucionários, a explosão da arte moderna e o delírio frenético do jazz.

Orfeu, herói da mitologia grega, era louvado como o celebrante da música, da exaltação e do êxtase coletivo. Neste estudo sobre o impacto das novas tecnologias nos processos de metropolização, Nicolau Sevcenko usa as imagens dos rituais órficos como um emblema. O cenário é a cidade de São Paulo nos anos 20, quando passava pelo boom de crescimento e urbanização que a transformaria numa metrópole moderna. O frêmito das tecnologias mecânicas de aceleração se transpõe para os corpos e as mentes por meio de celebrações físicas, cívicas e míticas no espaço público. O pano de fundo: a Primeira Guerra, as tensões revolucionárias, a explosão da Arte Moderna e o delírio frenético do jazz. Os personagens: a população de um experimento social em escala gigantesca, na busca de uma identidade utópica.

Excelente trabalho historiográfico com uma linguagem belíssima. Nicolau Sevcenko sabem falar com o público mais amplo ser perder o rigor de historiador no tratamento das fontes.
