Sea of Death

"Jorge Amado [was] the voice, the feeling, and the joy of Brazil."—José Saramago

"Gregory Rabassa's translation elevates Sea of Death to a mythopoetic adventure. A charismatic storyteller. . . . No other Latin American writer is more genuinely admired by his peers, nor has any other exerted so great a creative influence on the course of Latin American fiction."—The New York Times Book Review

"One of the greatest writers . . . also one of the most entertaining."—Mario Vargas Llosa
