Customer Reviews

A Great Book to Read!!!!

Knowing the strong African traditions the state of Bahia has, I acquired this book and I was right to buy it! In this book, you will find regionalism at its highest level. Amado was able to perfectly add regionalistic characteristics of his region and develop a story that will capture your heart and make you ponder about life... A great read for any Brazilianist, and Literature lovers.

excellent rendition of life in Brazil

Amado does an excellent piece of work portraying both life in Brazil and the story of a young man and his involvement with Jubiaba, the voodoo priest. The man's rise and the price he pays are well told, as with all of Amado's work.
