Rendition Supposing Books Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands

It surprises no one that the charming but wayward Vadinho dos Guimaraes–a gambler notorious for never winning—dies during Carnival. His long suffering widow Dona Flor devotes herself to her cooking school and her friends, who urge her to remarry. She is soon drawn to a kind pharmacist who is everything Vadinho was not, and is altogether happy to marry him. But after her wedding she finds herself dreaming about her first husband’s amorous attentions; and one evening Vadinho himself appears by her bed, as lusty as ever, to claim his marital rights.

Commentary Based On Books Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands

This is Middlemarch, written in modern times, that happens to be gloriously in Brazil and in some ways is even better. Add to that his censorship issues and exile, and its a compelling work of art. To contrast this with Middlemarch, I got more out of this because the social conventions and issues are not as dated, the conclusions are still scandalous and it feels like this could still happen now, while Middlemarch is stuck in its age . One of my new, top favorites. It's the same level of quality

i like Amado writing as he has a keen eye for his people and for this you have to travel in your own country. especially Brazil which is so diverse. it is a colorful picture of Brazil. still

I must admit that this is great literature, and would deserve 5 stars. Butit just wasnt my cup of tea. Too slow, too much detail, too much rambling.

Couldn't pass 200 pages. One of the most boring books ever :(

Jorge Amado happens to be one of my favourite authors, but I do have a confession to make, I have such a deep affection for Latin American authors, Spanish as well as Portuguese. Amado is humorous in a ribald sort of way but what is most important about him, is that he is completely non judgemental.I read Dona Flor e seus dois Maridos"as an English translation and found it beautiful. The original Portuguese, however, is pretty much different, it deals with many more aspects of Brazilian Culture

Any book that has me constantly thinking of food, sex and magic is amazing in my book.

Wonderful story! The characters are so well developed, and there are stories within stories. I got so involved with the story - I talked about it to anyone who would listen! I recommended it to others and urged them to experience what I had!I laughed out loud! I cheered and shouted!! I got cross! I disliked some of the characters! Fabulous!!
