About This Item
New York, NY: Bantam, 1993. First Edition, First Pinting . Hardcover. NEW - COLLECTIBLE/New. BRAND NEW Copy. First Edition, First Printing. English translation of Sumiço da Santa by Jorge Amado's (1912 - 2001) 1988 novel. Of interest, Amado conceived the story and had settled on the title some twenty years earlier. A tale of "unexpected and curious" events that could only happen in the vibrant and passionate City Bahia and nowhere else in our world. All events occur within the span of 48 hours, around the end of the 1960s and early 1970s. A tale of Adalgisa and Manela and other descendants of the Spaniard Francisco Romero Pérez y Pérez and the beautiful, dark mulatto girl Andreza sa Anunciação, and, the welcoming of the holy icon of the statue of Saint Barbara of Thunder.
