Summary:""This amazing "revolutionary" novel is full of surprises -- not the least being that its author is a middle-aged Brazilian "man of letters" rather than some youthful wild-eyed Maoist. It glides with amazing dash and brio from torture chamber to love affair, more with the elegant grace of a minuet than with the terror of people who almost all lose their lives in failed attempts to reach Che's small guerrilla band in the Bolivian foothills. There's no sense of tragedy, only the offhand, almost humorous, way in which middle-class intellectual revolutionaries are likely to die: a bank robber turning his eye from the cashier at a crucial moment because he spots a friend stuffing stolen money from under the floorboards into a grocery bag. But there is a partial condemnation of this kind of half-hearted commitment when Che stoically nears his end; also a rather joyous vision of the future as the survivors more or less accidentally hijack a plane to transcendental Cuba. The action switches from character to character and not a word is wasted in this razzledazzle masterpiece of understatement. The "historical" sections on Che's capture and death approach grandeur without heaviness, and the clear, functional, completely artless language is admirably translated from the Portuguese by Barbara Shelby."--Kirkus".

Translated from the Portuguese by Barbara Shelby. 561 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by S. Neil Fujita. keywords: Latin America Brazil Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - QUARUP is the most important work to date of the distinguished and courageously outspoken Brazilian novelist-playwright-journalist whose reportage, especially his writing for one of the hemisphere's great newspapers, 0 Jornal do Brasil, 'bears witness' in the words of the TLS 'to qualities of intelligence and integrity and to exceptionally high standards in the gathering of information'-an integrity and authority that make his rich, crowded portrayal of a nation in turmoil as trustworthy as it is novelistically, poetically, and humanly brilliant. QUARUP is set in the recent past: from the Vargas years through the military coup of March 31, 1964. The protagonist is a priest, Nando. This gentle, unworldly man, a mystic entranced by a centuries-old Jesuit vision of society as God's republic, is transformed by his compassion into a twentieth-century revolutionary. This lover of God's peace is propelled by his love of man into the guerrilla wars of the Sertäo. Around him, the swirling society of Brazil-'No summary,' says Gregory Rabassa, 'can begin to detail the novel's richness of people and episodes!' In wonderfully dramatic and evocative scenes the reader moves among priests and prostitutes, among liberal governors, fanatic anti-Communist colonels, among petty officials sniffing ether in Rio's demimonde, among the forgotten sugarcane sharecroppers of the Nordeste and the Indians of Brazil's jungle interior, where Nando goes as a missionary. In its breadth and variety, its vision and its passion, Quarup-whose title is derived from the Indian ritual of resurrection-is a synthesis of Callado's wide-ranging and urgent view of the society in which he lives: its struggles of modernization, its crisis in the Church, its revolutionary tremors. inventory #25766 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket That Shows Some Internal Water-staining.
