DESCRIPTION - One of the most important and exciting of contemporary Brazilian writers, Autran Dourado is now establishing an international reputation. THE VOICES OF THE DEAD, the last of his novels to be published in English translation, was highly praised on both sides of the Atlantic, and in 1982 he was awarded Germany's prestigious Goethe Prize. A visit to a brothel, a deathbed scene, Joao's romance with a circus tightrope walker, the fantastic secrets of his eccentric relations, the exploits of a notorious bandit - all these are elements in a work of extraordinary richness by 'a poetic and symbolist novelist who transforms the particulars of the everyday world into the universals of myth and tragedy' (Peter Lewis in the Times Literary Supplement). inventory #8713.
