The House of Water (Vol. 1)

Antonio Olinto's "The House of Water," originally published in 1969, offers readers a journey through diverse lands, cultures, and traditions, departing from South America and heading to Africa. It is during this journey through these diverse environments that Mariana, Catarina's granddaughter, navigates the transition from childhood to adolescence, a transition that blends girlhood's play with womanly dreams. "The House of Water," the first volume of Antonio Olinto's "Soul of Africa" trilogy, is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover and uncover the richness of other cultures. The series, which has been translated into nineteen languages and has had over thirty editions outside Brazil, continues with the novels "The King of Keto" and "Throne of Glass," which are also being reissued by Editora Bertrand Brasil.
