Quarup [Paperback] By Antonio Callado by Antonio Callado
A sprawling, elegiac novel that traces the entwined personal and political upheavals of mid‑20th‑century Brazil: through the passions, compromises and betrayals of a circle of intellectuals and activists, it confronts the tensions between modernity and tradition, urban power and indigenous life. The narrative moves between Rio’s salons and the Amazonian interior, using the indigenous quarup funeral ritual as a haunting metaphor for loss, identity and the country’s interrupted hopes, while probing love, mortality and the moral costs of political engagement.
