Amado was born in a fazenda ("farm") in the inland of the city of Itabuna, in the southern part of the Brazilian state of Bahia, son of João Amado de Faria and D. Eulália Leal.
Amado's leftist activities made his life difficult under the dictatorial regime of Getulio Vargas: in 1935 he was arrested for the first time, and two years later his books were publicly burned.

 Amazon.com: Showdown: Books: Jorge Amado   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Brazilian writer Amado's 22nd novel is an unfocused and somewhat maudlin epic set in the lawless wilds of the Bahian jungle, where thugs and prostitutes ply their dismal trades amidst arbitrary bloodshed and hardship.
Already known to followers of Amado's fiction, Tocaia Grande is here depicted in the days before its elevation to county seat and its change of name to Irisopolis.
As usual, Amado is very good at providing us with a slice of life and a variety of interesting characters, but the story is a bit too thin in this work.

A história de Tieta, pastora de cabras de Sant'Ana do Agreste que é expulsa pelo próprio pai e volta anos depois, riquíssima graças à prostituição, é contada em tom folhetinesco.
Jorge Amado usa e abusa de expressões e folclore regionais para criar uma narrativa envolvente, na qual o autor vez por outra se faz de personagem e dá seus próprios palpites na trama.
