He is ruthless in his exploitation of his fellow man, but when he makes a match with a fine young woman, he is surprised to discover that this latest acquisition, as he sees it, may be somewhat harder to handle. It is in Paulo Honório’s own rough-hewn voice that the great Brazilian writer Graciliano Ramos, often compared to William Faulkner, tells this gritty and dryly funny story of triumph and comeuppance, a tour de force of the writer’s art that is beautifully captured in Padma Viswanathan’s new translation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53000668348723,"sku":"9781681373850","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/1108\/1267\/files\/9781681373850.jpg?v=1769368794","url":"https:\/\/slantoflightbooks.com\/products\/sao-bernardo-new-york-review-books-classics","provider":"Slant of Light Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
