About the author

Jorge Amado was a modernist Brazilian writer. He remains one of the most read and translated Brazilian authors, second only to Paulo Coelho. In his style of fictional novelist, however, there is no parallel in Brazil. His work was further popularized by highly successful film and TV adaptations.
He was a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters from 1961 until his death in 2001. In 1994, his work was recognized with the Camões Prize, the most prestigious award in Portuguese literature.
His literary work presents two distinct phases. In the first, there is a clear social critic and political focus, with works such as Captains of the Sands and Sea of Death standing out.
In his more mature phase, he adopts an aspect of good-humored and sensual chronicler of his people, abandoning ideological motivations, with works such as Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon, The Double Death of Quincas Water-Bray and Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands.

Reviews

[Leonardo Pires · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nesta obra conseguimos acompanhar não só o percuro literário, mas também, o percurso humano e existencial de um dos grandes poetas brasileiros, Castro Alves. A forma como é desenvolvida a relação amorosa entre o poeta e a actriz Eugénia Câmara é sublime.
É pena que o grande Jorge Amado tenha apenas escrito uma peça de teatro pois demonstra grande desenvoltura neste excelente exercício biográfico, em forma dramática. Uma óptima forma para se iniciar a bibliografia de Amado.
