Synopsis

.A visit to a brothel, a deathbed scene, Joao s romance with a circus tightrope walker, the fantastic secrets of his eccentric relations, the exploits of a notorious bandit - all these are elements in a work of extraordinary richness by a poetic and symbolist novelist who transforms the particulars of the everyday world into the universals of myth and tragedy.
