Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A haunting Brazilian classic of desire, illness, memory, and moral collapse-now presented in a refined English translation.In Winter in Bloom, Coelho Neto unfolds a tragic and psychologically charged story set in nineteenth-century Brazil, where family devotion, social refinement, forbidden passion, and inherited suffering converge with devastating force.Jorge Soares, a man shaped by privilege, loss, and emotional excess, withdraws into a life of cultivated melancholy after the failures and scandals of his past. Around him move figures of tenderness, wit, dependence, and danger: Sarita, the beautiful young woman whose presence awakens troubling conflicts; Bá, the devoted former enslaved nurse whose loyalty binds the household to its painful history; Miss Kate, the foreign governess; and Cesário Pires, the eccentric philosopher whose irony cannot save his friend from inner ruin.Rich in atmosphere, ornate in style, and deeply attentive to states of mind, Winter in Bloom captures a Brazil suspended between empire and modernity, between slavery and abolition, between Catholic domestic ritual and European intellectual fashion. Coelho Neto's prose blends romantic intensity with psychological observation, creating a novel of domestic tragedy, moral tension, and social critique.This edition offers English-language readers access to one of the major voices of Brazilian literary culture, preserving the elegance, intensity, and historical texture of the original work.…
