Sobre este artículo
Paperback / softback. New. <b>A Penguin Classic</b><br /><br />Published here for the first time in English in a brilliant translation by the peerless Gregory Rabassa, <i>The Discovery of America by the Turks</i> is a whimsical Brazilian take on <i>The Taming of the Shrew</i> that will remind readers why Jorge Amado is to Portuguese-American literature what Jorge Luis Borges is to Spanish-American literature. It follows the adventures of two Arab immigrantsââTurks,â as Brazilians call themâwho arrive in the rough Brazilian frontier in 1903 and become involved in a merchant's farcical attempt to marry off his shrew of a daughter.<br /><br />For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
