Translated from the Portuguese by Thomas Colchie. 184 pages. hardcover. Jacket design (c) by Bob Korn. . keywords: Literature Translated Brazil Latin America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Jorge, the captivating hero and narrator of this epic journey through the Brazilian interior, is a truckdriver. His boss has ordered him to rescue a fleet of trucks stranded on the way to Belo Horizonte. No matter what happens, they must arrive in time for an inauguration ceremony, or the boss will be in trouble. Jorge discovers that the recently constructed highway to Belo Horizonte is washed out, the lead driver has quit, and all along the way torrential rains have made roads and bridges impassable. But Jorge is not to be discouraged. With courage and good humor he leads his fleet of brightly painted trucks along narrow back roads, across swollen streams, and through sleepy country towns. What emerges from this landscape of gas stations, roadside bars and whorehouses is a distinctive fellowship of the road, a fellowship that has inspired novelists as disparate as de Maupassant and Kerouac. In Jorge, the author has created an unforgettable character, at once typically Brazilian and universal. By the time the novel reaches its climax, with Jorge toying with the idea of getting back at his boss through the boss's wife, we have no doubt what Jorge's decision will be. Through the pages of this novel we have hitched a ride with a remarkable human being - and a friend . . 'A unique, original novelist, like no one else.' - Jorge Amado. inventory #26847.
