Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands. Audiobook

Narration is done by artificial intelligence: clear diction and precise pronunciation make this format especially convenient for those studying foreign languages. “Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands” is one of the best-known works of Brazilian classic writer Jorge Amado. It’s a novel in the spirit of magical realism, with action set in the 1940s in sun-drenched Salvador. Dona Flor’s first husband is a passionate gambler and incurable rake—young, living for one endless holiday; he even leaves this world right at the carnival, dancing “with full dedication, like he did everything—except work.” The second husband is the complete opposite: quiet, attentive, faithful, accustomed to order and the rule “each thing has its place, and everything has its time.” With which of them will she find real happiness, and what is the formula for family well-being? Ahead are mysteries of a woman’s soul, love and passion against the backdrop of hot Brazilian sunshine.
