DESCRIPTION - 'AMADO HAS PROFOUND THINGS TO SAY' - The New Yorker. Amado's powerful new novel of emancipation and betrayal, set in Bahia in the early 1930s, pulses with the exotic tropical imaginings and passionate desires that have made Amado internationally renowned. JUBIABA is the story of Antonio Balduino, a street urchin who abandons a desperate life as a champion circus boxer and a balladeer to join the local workers in their struggle against oppression. The spirit of JIJBIABA, the medicine man who inspires Antonio in his youth, follows Antonio's physical and spiritual odyssey through tragedy and despair, teaching him to 'love all those. who were shaking off the fetters of slavery.' 'Amado's strange and wonderful characters. his humanism, and his considerable powers of description' result in a richness and warmth that are impossible to resist.' - Washington Post. 'Amado is Brazil's most illustrious and venerable novelist.' - New York Times. inventory #31095. Seller Inventory # z31095
