O livro “Pedro Brabo e o Diabo” reúne nove contos de Manoel Ambrósio (1865-1947), quase todos publicados na revista carioca “A Noite Ilustrada” entre setembro de 1935 e julho de 1936. Dentre os personagens ambrosianos destacam-se o coronel Serpa, o velho chefe de jagunços chamado Cangussú, o facínora e valentão Pedro Brabo, o fazendeiro João e sua “orgulhosa doença da branquidade”, o escravo Pai João, o homicida Gervásio Cascavel e a sinistra oração do “Creio em Deus Padre ao contrário”, “cachaceiro e brigão” Joaquim da Ponte e a bela Evangelina — Vanjú —, que aparou “à escovinha o cabelo” e “trajou-se de homem” para vingar o assassinato dos filhos. Os contos de Manoel Ambrósio foram ambientados nos sertões do rio São Francisco (norte/noroeste de Minas Gerais) entre 1865 e 1892, resgatando, nas palavras do autor, as histórias das “populações do interior com seus primitivos e coloniais costumes”. O professor Manoel Ambrósio foi, nas sábias palavras de seu biógrafo, Francisco de Vasconcellos “o maior expoente da cultura barranqueira de todos os tempos. Manoel tinha a alma popular dentro de si. Não era o intelectual encastelado na sua sabença e sim o homem simples e acessível, amante do contato com o povo, observador atento, espírito de elevada sagacidade”. “O ineditismo foi, aliás, um fato marcante em sua vida de escritor” e, sua obra, “é madeira de lei que não cede à voragem das pragas temporais”.
