About This Item
NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1975. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Translated from the Portuguese by Barbara Shelby. Behold her, Tereza Batista-inspiration to painters, poets, and sculptors (not to mention sailors on shore leave), teacher of the ignorant, lover of the powerful (and powerful lover), healer of the sick, champion of the downtrodden, seasoned veteran-at the peak of her beauty-of life's wars. No wonder the people of Bahia call her, in awe and delight, Tereza of the Thousand Nicknames-all complimentary! Follow Tereza from her birth into direst poverty and bad luck (orphaned before she knew her parents, enslaved at the age of 12) to the great day when she turns the tables on that most splenetic and sadistic of slaveholders, the black-hearted Captain Justo Duarte da Rosa. Clean copy. Record # 381943
