Synopsis of the book “Lavoura Arcaica”

Written by Josiane Gonçalves

​

One of the best romantic books is the one written by the author Raduan Nassar. It illustrates a family of agrarian traditions and patriarchs. Furthermore, it is the first novel and famous work by the author. It contextualizes love conflicts within the family, religious values, dark fears and burning desires. The narrative features a desperate and caring mother, a patriarchal father, “André” the rebel son against traditions and “Ana” the sister and passion of her brother. In addition, the book is well written and uses very inspiring lyrical poetry, extremely important to work with the lyrical novel. The author was very intelligent and left his style marked in his writing. That way, I would definitely recommend the book, because it’s spectacular, sensational, excellent, flashy and interesting the way the author worked the context of "Lavoura Arcaica" in the book.
