Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon
Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon is a Brazilian modernist novel. It was written by Jorge Amado in 1958 and it is widely considered one of his finest works. The action of the novel begins in 1925 in the provincial port of Ilhéus in Brazil's northeastern state of Bahia.
The book tells two separate but related tales: first, the romance between Nacib Saad and Gabriela. Second, it describes the political struggle between the old guard of Cacao growers and the forces of modernization, in the person of Mundinho Falcão. It can be read simultaneously as an unusual, charming love story, a description of the political and social forces at work in 1920s Brazil, a somewhat satirical depiction of Latin American aspirations to "modernity", and a celebration of the local culture and pleasures of Bahia.
