Jorge Amado was a writer who was included in the legendary list of the 100 best writers of the 20th century. He held many titles and honors, but the most important one for Brazil was "the literary Pelé." Amado called one of his most significant novels "The Shop of Miracles." What is it about?

- About books, doctrines, theories, professors and street singers, the Queen of Sheba, the Countess, and Iaba (a she-devil without a tail);
- About how a poet-researcher became a cuckolded lover;
- About carnivals, street fights, and other wonders, about blacks, mulattoes, and a Swedish woman (who turned out to be Finnish);
- About Pedro Archanjo's civil struggle and how the people took over the square;
- About talent and success, and the glory of the homeland.

"From a Land Magical and Real..."

The novel is written in the magical realism genre, and it appeared before the most famous work in this genre, Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude.
