Os Sertões (Portuguese Edition)

As much sociology, geography and history as a work of
literature, Os Sertões was lauded as a significant work of
literature immediately after publication in late 1902.
Drawing on his experience working as a journalist
covering the war, da Cunha not only tells the story of the
war, its background and its context, but in the process
he explores the people of the region,
their environment and their culture,
providing exceptional insight into
Brazilian history and culture.
