Latin American prose is the brightest stone in the necklace of fiction of the 20th century. The names of Márquez, Cortázar, Borges and other authors rise above the continent of prose. Next to them rises a mighty peak - Jorge Amado. The name of this Brazilian writer is a kind of symbol of Latin American literature. Amadou’s magical, bewitching prose has long been well known in our country. But the novel “Teresa Batista, Sweet Honey and Courage” is being published in full for the first time. “Teresa Batista, Tired of War” is one of the most famous novels by Jorge Amado. The story of the eternal “wife of the regiment” under the pen of the great master of Latin American literature takes on features that are either folklore or myological, and the “dense”, “tasty” text of Amadou’s prose will not leave any reader indifferent!
