Jorge Amado is the acclaimed author of Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon, Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands, and Tereza Batista: Home from the Wars. Highly successful film and Broadway versions of Dona Flor have brought worldwide recognition to Brazil's foremost living novelist
"Tent of Miracles may well be Amado's masterpiece."--Christian Science Monitor "A most enjoyable romp."--New York Times "A very rich and exotic novel . . . tells the story of Pedro Archanjo, mestizo, self-taught ethnologist, apostle of miscegenation, laborer, cult priest, and bon vivant. . . . Amado's joyous, exuberant, almost magical descriptions of festivals, puppet shows, African rituals, local legends, fascinating customs, strange and wonderful characters . . . result in a richness and warmth that are impossible to resist."--Washington Post "Delightful ribaldry and exotic trimmings . . . Bahia surely has no greater poet than Jorge Amado."--Saturday Review
