«Grande Sertão: Veredas» is the novel by Brazilian writer João Guimarães Rosa, published by Nova Fronteira in paperback (694 pages, in Portuguese).
Riobaldo, a former jagunço, recalls his time in the Brazilian sertão: the adventures, loves, and loyalties that marked his life. The narrative combines adventure and philosophical reflection on good and evil, destiny and experience, with a poetic language that reinvents Portuguese through regional turns of phrase and neologisms.
This edition, the 19th, was published by Nova Fronteira in 2001; the work originally appeared in 1956.
For readers of literature and fiction seeking a 20th-century Brazilian classic with complex, experimental prose.
João Guimarães Rosa was a Brazilian novelist, short story writer, poet and diplomat.
