Title : Coastal Navigation - Jorge Amado - book

• Summary

Caught up in the hubbub of ideas and illusions of this century, Jorge Amado, a Bahian attached to his "country of cocoa," has never stopped traveling the world. He has seen a lot, remembered a lot about countries and people. Back at the port, Amado considers his commitments without regret or denial. For this book of a life is above all that of a man's zest for life. Jorge Amado's prodigious vitality, his passion for friendship, his bursts of joy, laughter, love, and eroticism continually enliven these pages. These are not the daily notes of a diary, not memoirs, but a work without precedent: a book made of "news" where the great of this world, his familiars and many unknowns have become the characters of a novel where we find in the eighty-year-old writer, master of his art, the qualities that have earned him his success in the East as in the West, according to the poles of this Personal History. A story in which death is not absent. Jorge Amado says it simply: "I only want to tell a few stories, some funny, others melancholic, like life. Life, ah, this brief coastal navigation!"
