A Brazilian master novelist in English at last For André, a young man growing up on a farm in Brazil, life consists of “the earth, the wheat, the bread, our table, and our family.” He loves the land, fears his austere, pious father, who preaches from the head of the table as if from a pulpit, and loathes himself as he begins to harbor shameful feelings for his sister Ana. Lyrical and sensual, written with biblical intensity, this classic Brazilian coming-of-age novel follows André’s tormented path. He falls into the comforting embrace of liquor as—in his psychological and sexual awakening—he must choose between body and soul, obligation and freedom.

"In these volumes, the popular agricultural columnist known as "The Old Norfolk Farmer" gives an historical overview of agriculture in Britain, discusses agricultural theories as practiced in Western Europe and the United States, and touches on the science of agriculture; following this, he takes a very practical look at the topics of livestock, crops, husbandry, drainage, fertilizer, irrigation, and soil. The work is illustrated by attractive steel engravings featuring farmin scenes, groun plans for farms, agricultural equipment, and different breeds of cattle, horses, chickens, and other domestic animals. This work is usually found as a two-volume set, but was originally issued in parts; [our] copy appears to be a set bound up from these parts"--Accompanying material.
