Sweet Morn of Judas' Day

London England: Michael Joseph, 1965. price cliped This book begins five generations after The O'Dancy - a title held since time immemorial - paced out his land, married a Tupinikin princess, and settled down to produce some of the Brazilian millionaires of yesterday, today and possibly of tomorrow. The sixth O'Dancy, used to privilege and power, begins to realise that his family and himself, together with his enormous agricultural and industrial empire, are threatened with extinction by various forms of Satanism, a matter which at any other time he might have dismissed as a joke in bad taste. In this book, the author paints a compelling portrait of a country rich in potential, whether in land or people - but undermined and threatened by the pervasive influence of evil in its day-to-day life, and crippled by the tragic split between the mental life, of the very rich and the very poor; for The O'Dancy's story might well be Brazil's in microcosm.
