[SR: 16637784], Paperback, [EAN: 9780615176550], JVBMoreira Edition, JVBMoreira Edition, Book, [PU: JVBMoreira Edition], JVBMoreira Edition, This first novel of author Jorge Moreira carries his readers away on a voyage to another time and space as he tells the story of his island, of his people, their myths and customs. The novel reminds us of the innocence and the ignorance of our younger days, and, above all, it brings us back into the youthful process of illusions and disillusionment. The result is a sweet, sometimes painful, but always original story of an odyssey, a trip of discovery during a summer on Itaparica Island. As fictional-memoir, the novel focuses on the life of its main character, Bromeu, a 13- year-old boy, and yet, this is not just Bromeu s story, The novel presents a collective history as it includes many perspectives, episodes, vignettes, the stories of various inhabitants (animal and human), as individuals and as community, on the island. The island and the sea themselves become characters in the novel. Thus, this novel can be seen to represent a portrait of the Bahian Island of Itaparica during the historical period of the governmant of Juscelino Kubitschek, the late 1950 s to early 60 s. Under the tropical sun or through a warm evening sea breeze, episodes of island life are represented both grotesque and beautiful, youthful and adult, which lead us to themes of relationships of power whether within the family, the church, or Brazilian or Northamerican society.
