Deep within the remote backlands of 19th century Brazil sits Canudos, a libertarian’s paradise. Home of prostitutes, bandits, and beggars, Canudos embodies the revolutionary spirit in its purest and most apocalyptic form. In one of his most brilliant and tragic novels, Mario Vargas Llosa creates an unforgettable tale of passion, idealism, adventure, and man’s struggle to be free. It is an exhaustively documented account of a historical event and a fundamental book in 20th century literature. Description in Spanish: "A finales del siglo XX, en las tierras paupérrimas del noreste de Brasil, el chispazo de las arengas del Consejero, personaje mesiánico y enigmático, prenderá la insurrección de los desheredados. En circunstancias extremas como aquéllas, la consecución de la dignidad vital sólo podrá venir de la exaltación religiosa - el convencimiento fanático de la elección divina de los marginados del mundo- y del quebranto radical de las reglas que rigen el mundo de los poderosos. Así, grupos de miserables acudirán a la llamada de la revolución de Canudos, la cuidad donde se asentará esta comunidad de personajes que difícilmente desaparecerán de la imaginación del lector: el Beatito, el León de Natuba, María Quadrado.. Frente a todos ellos, una trama político- militar se articula para detener con toda su fuerza el movimiento que amenaza con expandirse."
