Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands is a novel by renowned Brazilian author Jorge Amado. The story follows Dona Flor, a woman who, after the death of her first husband, Vadinho, a charming but irresponsible man, marries Dr. Teodoro Madureira, a kind and considerate pharmacist. Despite her happy marriage, Dona Flor longs for the passion and sensual pleasure she experienced with Vadinho, which leads to the ghost of her first husband returning to claim his conjugal rights. This Spanish edition, published by Alianza Editorial, offers a humorous and poignant look at the complexities of love, desire, and relationships.
Jorge Leal Amado de Faria, known as Jorge Amado, was a Brazilian writer of the modernist school. He remains the best-known of modern Brazilian writers, with his work having been translated into some 49 languages and popularized in film, including Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands in 1976, and having been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature at least seven times. His work reflects the image of a Mestiço Brazil and is marked by religious syncretism. He depicted a cheerful and optimistic country that was beset, at the same time, with deep social and economic differences.
