Mar Morto | Jorge Amado

Personagens como o jovem mestre de saveiro Guma parecem prisioneiros de um destino traçado há muitas gerações: os homens saem para o mar que um dia os tragará, levando-os com Iemanjá para as lendárias terras de Aiocá. No dia em que eles não voltarem, elas cairão na miséria ou na prostituição. Lívia, amada que busca em vão libertar Guma do chamado do mar desempenhará um papel pioneiro na mudança de condição da mulher.

The love story of Guma and Livia, and the lives of the people of the dockside in Bahia, Brazil. I‘ve read several books by Amado, and have liked them all. He writes of poor people, but people enthusiastic for life. His characters are real, but also mythic and heroic. “It‘s the certainty that the end will be death at sea unexpectedly some night, suddenly some night.” Recommended. #foodandlit #Brazil
