hardcover. Condition: Very Good in Dustjacket. 1st edition. Columbia. 1987. Readers International. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0930523245. Translated from the Portuguese by Margaret A. Neves. 138 pages. hardcover. Cover and internal illustrations by Brazilian artist Djanira. Cover design by Jan Brychta. Barbed wire motif based on a poster by Michel . keywords: Literature Translated Brazil Latin America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - The Land is the third novel by Antonio Torres, and his first major work in English translation. His other novels are Urn cao uivundo para a Lua (A Dog howling at the Moon), 1972; Os Hornens dos pEs redondos (The Men with Round Feet), 1973; and more recently Carta ao bispo (Letter to the Bishop) and Adeus, velho (Goodbye, Old Friend), 1985. Antonio Torres was born in Junco, a tiny farming community in Brazil's notoriously poor Sertão (Backlands), which The Land brings to life. Like villages all over Brazil's huge, dry rural Northeast, where each year's crop failure pushes more people down the highways to São Paulo and Rio, Junco is dying. It faces its fate with stubbornness and grim humor. Its children dream of city riches, and those already trapped in the squalid and violent urban slums dream of coming home some day. But there is no homecoming without tragedy. Antonio Torres tells this universal story in a style that owes much to the popular cultural forms of the Backlands: snatches of song and prayer, rhyming jokes and fantasies, and the literatura de cordel (rope literature) - broadsheets telling of juicy local gossip, murders, laments, ghostly apparitions, sold in the marketplace in sheaves tied with twine. First published in 1976 as the erratic literary censorship of the military regime was on the wane, THE LAND now ranks in Brazil as a modern classic. Readers International is pleased to bring it into English for the first time. inventory #7517.
