Book Description paperback. 1st edition. New York. 1979. November 1979. Avon/Bard. 1st Avon/Bard Paperback Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 0380476967. Translated from the Portuguese by Samuel Putnam. 276 pages. paperback. . keywords: Literature Translated Brazil Latin America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - CHOCOLATE GOLD . . The siren-song of the lush, cocoa-growing forests of Bahia lures them all-the adventurers, the assassins, the gamblers, the brave and beautiful women. It is not a gentle song, but a song of greed, madness, and blood. It is a song that promises riches untold, or death for the price of a swig of rum, a song most cannot resist-until it is too late-not Margot, the golden blonde prostitute who comes for love; not Cabral, the talented, unscrupulous lawyer who works for one of the cacao colonels'; and not Juca, whose ruthless quest to reap the jungle's harvest plants the seeds of his own destruction. Against the violent, colorful backdrop of Brazil's 'cacao-rush-a phenomenon that rivals California's gold rush in drama, tragedy, and humor-Jorge Amado weaves together the fates of two landowning families involved in a bloody feud over a tract of virgin forest to which neither has a rightful claim. In his foreword to this edition, the author has written, 'No other of my books is as dear to me; in it lie my roots; it is of the blood from which I was created.' inventory #921 Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers.
