Of their indestructible and powerful bond and of their relationship with the world. With this wonderful novel, Itamar Vieira Junior opens a window directly into the lives of the inhabitants of the haciendas of unknown rural Brazil, their customs and beliefs, and their way of inhabiting the land. Arado torcido is an unforgettable story that masterfully combines epic and lyrical, realism and magic.
