Not enough stars to rate this book. Absolute No 1 in literature ever. Light years ahead of anything else.

The Devil To Pay In The Backlands by João Guimarães Rosa also known as The Devil in the Street in the Middle of the Wirlwind was written in Portuguese by the Brazilian author João Guimarães Rosa in 1956 and translated to English by James L Taylor and Harriet de de Onís in 1963. I read a first edition translated in 1963 book. Reportedly all translations are poor but also thePortugese is archaic and colloquial, making it a very difficult book to translate. The translation by Taylor and de Onis is

I wouldn't have discovered this book without my brother, who mentioned it to me in late 2012.Wow! After reading it, now I understand why in a 2002 poll of 100 noted writers (see this book's entry in Wikipedia) the book was named among the top 100 books of all time!!!This is all the more amazing because in the English speaking world the book is all but unknown and very hard to get in print. However, check online and you may be able to download a pdf copy.The book is set in the wild backlands of

Okay, first things first, if nothing in this review makes you want to read it than remember that this work has been called Ulysses of Portuguese Literature (not at all as challenging as Ulyssess is

I found out about this book from the World Library's list of the 100 Best Books of All Time (http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/94...). It appears that the only English edition is flawed, and out of print anyway ($275 USD on Amazon for a used copy!). Lamentably, I have to surrender to the realization that I will not be reading this book unless a new translation comes along.

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." Verbal Kint, The Usual Suspects, by way of Baudelaire.Living is a very dangerous business as our narrator Riobaldo never tires of reminding us.And who would know it better than this seasoned jagunço*, recalling a bloody past mostly spent fighting/overthrowing rival bands of outlaws in the Brazilian sertão**. There are good bandits and there are bad bandits & sometimes it's hard to tell the difference - the

This book is one good reason to learn Portuguese. Difficult but rewarding reading. I've heard educated Brazilians say Guimaraes Rosa writes in such a way that even a native speaker is constantly surprised by his use of language, so I have learned to be comfortable in my occasional confusion.
