Amado wrote the novel in response to his first arrest for "being a communist". The novel follows the lives of poor fishermen around Bahia, and their relationship with the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé, especially the sea goddess Iemanjá. The novel's style and themes include many traits that characterize Amado's later work. Development and styleSea of Death was written in 1936, the year that Jorge Amado was jailed for the first time, at the age of twenty-four, on charges of being a communist. He was arrested in Rio de Janeiro and spent two months in prison. On his release, he was invited by a British publisher, José Olympio, to produce a new novel. Sea of Death was begun in Salvador, Bahia, and completed in Rio de Janeiro. The novel won the Graça Aranha award from the Brazilian Academy of Letters in the same year. Sea of Death[1] was Jorge Amado’s fifth novel and the fifth of six novels he called his "Bahian Novels". He described Sea of Death as a "new vision of the life of the sailors of small sailing vessels on the waterfront of the state capital and the bay".[2] It is one of his most poetically charged books. His translator, Gregory Rabassa, describes it as "sentimental, 'touching' and poetic".[3] According to the critic Fábio Lucas, the novel’s poetic prose was to become a hallmark of the author’s work. PlotSea of Death tells stories of the dockside of Salvador, Bahia. The lives of the sailors of sloops in the bay from which Bahia gets its name are centred on the mythology surrounding the goddess Iemanjá, the "Queen of the Ocean" or the "Mother of Waters", are central to this novel, which portrays their daily struggle for survival. The novel features a variety of characters whose lives unfold around the story of two lovers, Guma and Lívia. They include the black Rufino and his mulatto lover Esmeralda; Francisco, Guma’s uncle, who mends nets; and the foul-mouthed Rosa Palmeirão.[4]References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Amado|first1=Jorge|title=Sea of Death (translated by Gregory Rabassa)|date=1984|publisher=Avon Books|location=New York|isbn=0-380-75478-9|pages=273}} {{Jorge Amado}}{{1930s-novel-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last1=Amado, Jorge translated by Gregory Rabassa|title=Captains of the Sands (Postface)|publisher=Penguin Classics|isbn=978-0-14-310635-7|pages=262–65}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Rabassa|first1=Gregory|title=If this be treason: Translation and its Discontents|date=2005|publisher=New Directions|isbn=978-0811216197}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Jorge Amado|url=http://www.jorgeamado.com.br/obra.php3?codigo=12574&idioma_new=I|accessdate=18 December 2014}} 6 : 1936 novels|Novels by Jorge Amado|Brazilian novels|Portuguese-language novels|Novels set in Bahia|Modernist novels |
