Jorge Amado is an outstanding writer of Brazil. For a Russian, Jorge Amado is Brazil itself. Its nature, economy, culture, cooking, beliefs and holidays, but most importantly - its people, the writer's fellow countrymen, his heroes, his friends. The genius of the writer and the fiery heart of a fighter protesting against any social injustice were combined in him. Jorge Amado was never a "couch revolutionary", he knew from his own experience what the underground, prison, emigration and reflected this experience in his works. In "The Dead Sea" he acts as a true innovator, boldly combines myth and reality, epic and lyric. It was he who discovered the genre of magic realism. When Amadou wrote "Dead Sea", Gabriel Marquez was 9 years old. "The Dead Sea" is a sailor's song, a fairy tale, a legend born of imagination, revealing itself as reality. You will believe in the existence of the goddess of the sea Iemanji and the distant land of the sailors Ayok. You will hear stories of old sailors about shipwrecks and exploits, sad songs about the fate of sailors and their loved ones. "People of the sea have stories to tell. Listen to the story of Guma and Libya. It is a story of life by the sea, it is a story of love by the sea".
