Contents of this book: Almost all of Rosa's novels are set in the northeastern hinterland of Brazil, where there are mountains, river valleys, mountains, deep ravines, swamps, and wastelands. The terrain is ever-changing and mysterious. A father who never comes ashore, a Don Quixote-like old man, a little girl with a magical prophetic ability, a madman who climbs to the top of a palm tree, bandit brothers, an Indian who merges with a wild leopard... The characters have distinct hinterland characteristics and their fates are full of magic. Rosa not only pays attention to people's real situation and focuses on exploring the mysteries of daily life, but also has a deep insight into existentialism and the essence of human beings. The translator selected 20 stories from the four novels published by Rosa during his lifetime, and the translated text totals 120,000 words, which comprehensively shows the creative style of Rosa's short stories.
