FROM THE PUBLISHER - Profoundly moving and rich in human observation. Callado has brought the qualities of wit, precision and poetry to his novel. QUARUP shows that the symbolic and didactic novel is not dead so long as there are writers possessed of. wide-ranging imagination and faith in the reforming power of fiction.’ The lines quoted above from the Times Literary Supplement of London herald the publication of a novel of extraordinary literary and political interest -a panoramic re-creation, in terms both human and symbolic, of the convulsed society of Brazil. QUARUP is the most important work to date of the distinguished and courageously outspoken Brazilian novelist-playwright-journalist whose reportage, especially his writing for one of the hemisphere’s great newspapers, 0 Jornal do Brasil, ‘bears witness’ in the words of the TLS ‘to qualities of intelligence and integrity and to exceptionally high standards in the gathering of information’-an integrity and authority that make his rich, crowded portrayal of a nation in turmoil as trustworthy as it is novelistically, poetically, and humanly brilliant. QUARUP is set in the recent past: from the Vargas years through the military coup of March 31, 1964. The protagonist is a priest, Nando. This gentle, unworldly man, a mystic entranced by a centuries-old Jesuit vision of society as God’s republic, is transformed by his compassion into a twentieth-century revolutionary. This lover of God’s peace is propelled by his love of man into the guerrilla wars of the Sertäo. Around him, the swirling society of Brazil-’No summary,’ says Gregory Rabassa, ‘can begin to detail the novel’s richness of people and episodes!’ In wonderfully dramatic and evocative scenes the reader moves among priests and prostitutes, among liberal governors, fanatic anti-Communist colonels, among petty officials sniffing ether in Rio’s demimonde, among the forgotten sugarcane sharecroppers of the Nordeste and the Indians of Brazil’s jungle interior, where Nando goes as a missionary. In its breadth and variety, its vision and its passion, Quarup-whose title is derived from the Indian ritual of resurrection-is a synthesis of Callado’s wide-ranging and urgent view of the society in which he lives: its struggles of modernization, its crisis in the Church, its revolutionary tremors. It is (the TLS concludes) ‘an honest and brilliant treatment in the widest human terms of problems which,. crucial in Brazil, are not without an ominous significance elsewhere.’ We take pleasure in presenting QUARUP in Barbara Shelby’s admirable translation, which the author, himself bilingual, found ‘a pleasure to read.’. Antonio Callado was born in Niterói, capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1917. After taking his degree in law at the Faculdade de Direito in Niterói, he became, in 1937, a reporter on the Rio daily Correio de Manhã, and between 1938 and 1941 wrote a signed column for Rio’s 0 Globo. During World War II he worked in London as a correspondent for Correio de Manhã and for the BBC as an announcer for the Brazilian Department. In 1944-5 he was with Radiodiffusion Francaise in Paris. He returned to Brazil and Correio de Manhã in 1947 and was its chief editor from 1954 to 1960. In 1950-1 Caliado, as editor-in-chief, started the Brazilian edition of Reader’s Digest and from 1960 to 1963 edited a Brazilian encyclopedia sponsored by the Encyclopaedia Britannica. His play Cidade Assassinada (1957) was awarded the Prêmio de Prefeitura of Rio and his A Madona de Cedro (1958) the Prêmio Luiza Claudio de Sonza of Rio’s PEN Club; another play, Pedro Mico, had a successful run and was translated into English by Odyssey magazine in 1961. In addition to Assuncão de Salviano, a novel published in 1956, Callado is the author of three works of nonfiction: Tempo de Arraes (1964), North Vietnam (1969), and Esgueleto na Logoa Verde, an account of the attempt in 1951 to find traces of the Fawcett expedition, which disappeared in the Brazilian jungle in 1925. Callado, an editor of 0 Jornal do Brssil since late 1963 and currently its Paris correspondent, is perhaps best known in the United States for his occasional literary letters from Brazil in The New York Times Book Review, his 1968 interview of American prisoners of war in North Vietnam, and his political differences with the military regime that assumed control in Brazil in 1964.
