Sinopse
Originally published in 1976, "Essa Terra" is one of the most remarkable novels in contemporary Brazilian literature. It portrays the impact of the big city on the migrant, the immigrant from the Northeast. The author himself, born in the small town of Junco, in the interior of Bahia, followed the same path as his characters, leaving the Northeast to seek his fortune in the metropolises of the Southeast. And he found it. "Essa Terra" is also a success abroad, with translations in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, England, the United States, Israel, and Cuba. Throughout this time, "Essa Terra" has maintained its initial vigor and freshness intact, earning a prominent place in Brazilian culture. "Essa Terra" is the novel that established Antônio Torres as one of the most widely read and beloved contemporary Brazilian writers." Italo Moriconi, excerpt from the preface. "Torres, like Graciliano, chose the most honest option: to write about his Northeast. And just as Graciliano identified the characters in "Vidas secas" by showing that they came from his family, "Essa Terra" finds its original strength in its biographical foundation." Affonso Romano de Sant'Anna, Veja “I greatly admire the irony, warmth and style of Essa Terra, which so brilliantly describes people whose destiny is to change places.” Doris Lessing A success with the public and critics since its publication
