The Double Death of Quincas Water-Bray (Penguin Classics)
The Double Death of Quincas Water-Bray, a novel by Jorge Amado, has garnered mixed reviews from readers. While some found the new translation to be outstanding and the story absorbing, others were less impressed with the translation, feeling that some of the humor and nuances were lost in English. Despite this, the story was described as wonderful, funny, and insightful, with colorful and exuberant characters. Some readers praised Amado's writing style, describing it as full of humanity and love of life, even after death. However, one reader found the price to be too high for a book of only 100 pages. The plot revolves around the death of the disreputable Quincas Water-Bray, and his funeral becomes a raucous celebration among his loyal, yet notorious friends. The book is described as a humorous and philosophical tale set in the vibrant backdrop of Bahia, Brazil, giving readers a glimpse into the country's culture with excellent humor. While some reviewers pointed out that this may not be the best introduction to Amado's works, fans of Brazilian and Latin American fiction may still find it of interest.
