Set in rural nineteenth-century Brazil, the novel recreates the War of Canudos, pitting the newly established republican government against a community of sertanejos led by the Counselor.

Recommended for readers of historical fiction and of the great authors of the Latin American boom.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
