Lya Fett Luft (15 September 1938 – 30 December 2021) was a Brazilian writer and a prolific translator, working mostly in the English-Portuguese and the German-Portuguese language combinations.

Life and career

Lya Fett was born on 15 September 1938 in Santa Cruz do Sul (Rio Grande do Sul) which was largely settled by German-speaking immigrants, beginning in the first half of the 19th century. A notable percentage of the population there speak both German and Portuguese, including Fett's family. She later moved to Porto Alegre, where she lived until her death. She was a college professor of linguistics and literature, and wrote an opinion column for Veja magazine. Luft's literary work has been translated into other European languages, including German, English and Italian.[citation needed]

Lya Luft suffered a heart attack in 2019. She died at her home in Porto Alegre two years later at age 83, on 30 December 2021, from melanoma.[1][2]
