Quarup by Antonio Callado
Set against the backdrop of Brazil's vibrant yet tumultuous landscape, this novel follows the journey of a young priest, Nando, as he grapples with his faith and identity amidst the socio-political upheavals of the 1960s. Sent to the Amazon to establish a mission, Nando becomes entwined with the indigenous tribes and their rich cultural traditions, leading him to question his own beliefs and the impact of colonialism. As he navigates the complexities of love, spirituality, and activism, the story unfolds into a poignant exploration of personal transformation and the broader struggle for justice and equality in a rapidly changing world.
