Description
An astonishing novel. A novel in which magical realism, a parable, and a fairy tale for adults intertwine into an unusually colorful whole—strange and whimsical, like Brazil’s very folk culture. New times have come to San Salvador de Bahia? Not at all. No pragmatism and no progress can rule the city where love and magic have reigned since time immemorial.
Art is locked up in the walls of museums and galleries? Not so. Art is free—as long as the souls of its creators are free! The myth is dead? No, and not ever again.
Because the statue of an Afro-Christian saint is still capable of coming to life, slipping away from an academic exhibition, and starting a journey across Bahia—an amazing journey that will change the fates of many people!
The statue of Saint Barbara, brought from a village church to the exhibition, comes alive and begins actively interfering in the life of the residents of Bahia; it “puts things in order” in their family life, settles quarrels, and helps love and justice triumph; it humiliates hypocrisy and sanctimony…
