The Violent Land
Author(s): Jorge Amado
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, which promises riches untold, or death for the price of a swig of rum. It is a song most cannot resist until it is too late - not Margot, the golden blond prostitute who comes for love; not Cabral, the 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.
