It was written by Jorge Amado from 1942–44, published in Portuguese in 1944 and in English in 1992. BackgroundThe Golden Harvest is one of Amado's works set in the cocoa-growing areas of the state of Bahia and concerning the society that grew up around this crop. Others are Cacau (1933), The Violent Land (1943), Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon (1958), and Showdown (1984).[1] It is essentially a continuation of The Violent Land but in the 1930s, when the novel is set, the cocoa economy is already showing signs of civilization, with greater respect for the law and commercial contracts. On the strength of cocoa, the town of Ilhéus in the state of Bahia has been transformed into a major city. Whilst in The Violent Land disputes were resolved with a bullet, in The Golden Harvest they are now behind closed office doors. Nevertheless, although Ilhéus is experiencing rapid urban and social reform, some of the old ways endure alongside modernization, including arduous toil, exploitation, greed and violence.[1] The novel tells of the boom when cocoa was more valuable than gold and the subsequent bust and the effect of both boom and bust on the people of Ilheus.[2]CriticismThe novel has been criticised for its plodding pace and predictable plot, unredeemed by abrupt shifts from narrative past to present tense. The translation, moreover, is criticised for converting rural Brazilian Portuguese into southern USA idioms with disappointing effects.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Guimarães|first1=Antonio Sérgio|title=The Golden Harvest - Afterword|url=http://www.jorgeamado.com.br/obra.php3?codigo=12611&ordena=1|website=JorgeAmado.com|publisher=Companhia das Letras|accessdate=30 December 2014}} {{Jorge Amado}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Golden Harvest}}{{1940s-novel-stub}}{{Brazil-lit-stub}}São Jorge dos Ilhéus (romance)2. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Fiction Book Review|title=The Golden Harvest|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-380-76100-5|website=Publishers Weekly|accessdate=30 December 2014}} 6 : 1944 novels|Modernist novels|Novels by Jorge Amado|Brazilian novels|Portuguese-language novels|Novels set in Bahia |
