Tämän alku oli vähän sekava ja naiskuva aika hirveä, vähän kävi mielessä jopa jättää kirja kesken. Mutta kuinka kävikään! Juonen selkiytyessä kirja alkoikin viedä mukanaan ja avartaa lukijansa ajattelua omintakeisella tavallaan. Poliittinen teos, suorastaan hyökkäys fasismia ja valkoista ylivaltaa vastaan, mutta kantava voima ei tule sotamarsseista vaan rauhan sanomasta, ilosta ja kansojen sekoittumisesta.

An amazing tale of magic realism, centered on the life of Pedro Archanjo, a Brazilian mestizo who becomes an ethnographer and outspoken advocate for the mulatto culture he represents. Brilliantly descriptive, with wonderful characters and dialogue, transporting the reader into the magical world Archanjo represents.

A book filled with meaning and culture of an undeniable people. The ancestral blood of Amado is entrenched in every page.

- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No

Na Tenda dos Milagres, na ladeira do Tabuão, em Salvador, onde o amigo Lídio Corró mantém uma modesta tipografia e pinta quadros de milagres de santos, o mulato Pedro Archanjo atua como uma espécie de intelectual orgânico do povo afro-descendente da Bahia.
