Jorge Amado [EPUB ebook] 
New Critical Essays

Jorge Amado is simultaneously one of Brazil”s most prolific and widely read novelists and one of its most controversial. Seeking to offer for his English-speaking audience the same range of critical thinking that surrounds his work in Brazil, this volume provides an introduction and chronology to Amado”s life, followed by a comprehensive survey of his major works by some of the world”s leading Latin American Studies scholars. As the case of Jorge Amado is central to the emergence of Brazilian literature in the twentieth century, this volume of original essays will place him in clearer critical perspective for English language readers.
